Kilmarnock v Hibernian

So first impressions from me is SPL lets a lot more go in terms of fouls.
I saw someone get rugby tackled and they played on lol

Depends entirely on the ref. Some give fouls for nothing...others let a lot go. VERY inconsistent.

Rocky is absolutely terrible.

As much as folk would try and argue it was a coincidence, the stats with him in the team vs him out the team last season were damning. He’s brutal.

Disappointing from Newell and Boyle today. Not at the races.

[Vault Boy]

Very disappointing after gaining a deserved lead. These lapses have cost us sorely this season and hopefully it highlights to the new coaching team what needs to be addressed.

Good to see Monty encouraging all the team right towards the away fans. Encouraged by what we saw for the majority of that match, just a shame to throw it away.

[SChibs]

Hearts managed it today no bother.

And we've managed it before too? Doesn't take away from the fact it's a notoriously dodgy score in football

Our defence is mince. Killie’s defence was the exact opposite. Terrible result. Over to you Monty to get a grip of glaring weaknesses.

Before the game you’d have thought it would be a not bad result picking up the point away from home with Killie having a good home record but it’s really disappointing that we chucked a 2 goal lead.

:top marks

[Keith_M]

Well that was disappointing.

Be interesting to see what Montgomery takes from that display and who he thinks is... and isn't... starting material.

We’ll get better under Monty, no doubt. Hopefully that’s the last time Rocky starts a game for us. He is horrific.

Am I encouraged? Yes.

Onwards and upwards. We will get there 👍🏼

[ElginHibbie]

A draw wouldn't have seen as a bad result before kick off, but after being 2-0 pretty shocking

See what Monty takes from this, 3 homes games in a row now starting off with bottom of league next weekend so hopefully can work on stopping the stupid mistakes and get a run going

[chrisski33]

Agree. I predicted 1-1. We score plenty goals but the defending is dreadful. Montgomery will know what the team has to work on at East Mains this week.

[Brightside]

I remember hearing the same argument about LJ’s hibs team though. “Daft mistakes” constantly whereas in reality, we were just a poor team

We were much better first half. Lots of positives. Crumbled after the first mistake and then gave them another chance from nothing. If Hanlon is going to be dropped we MUST get a left footed CB to replace. That was an easy clearance for Rocky on his left and instead he tries to hold on and get fouled. Daft daft mistake but its a square peg in a round hole.

while playing on that carpet could be said to be the same for both sets of players it is a disgrace that they are allowed to have this mickey mouse surface, a player will get a real bad one some day.

Would have taken a point before the game but going 2-0 up then conceding 2 is disappointing. However, it means NM has now seen our obvious and glaring weaknesses. Thought Jeggo was very good. Some really good football, especially in the first half and looks like the players have bought into/are buying into it. Onward and upwards.

[NAE NOOKIE]

In the grand scheme of things it's an away point, but to get that point after having 3 in the bag is as annoying as ****.

You don't have to be Pep to see where the problem lies by now, we have no bother scoring but can't defend for toffee, no matter who is playing in the defence. That's twice this season already we've lost a goal immediately after scoring and if that doesn't point to a lack of concentration I don't know what does.

I suppose if you wan't to pick out a positive, this is the first time Monty has seen them play in the flesh and it will give him a better idea of their strengths and weaknesses, perhaps a snatching a draw from the jaws of victory type game will be more value to him going forward than a 3 - 0 win that somewhat disguised where things need sorted out.

As usual you can soften the blow a bit by saying if we had got 4 points from our last two games by drawing at Aberdeen and winning at Killie there wouldn't be a lot to complain about.

[JohnM1875]

He played left CH all last season, a good CH can play either side.

Definitely. Embarrassing if you need to be left footed to play well at left CB.

You can't go on about a number six needing to be able to do more than just break up play then insist a LCB needs to be left footed.

Moan moan moan. There was the shape of a good football team there I was impressed. As for the ref what a bellend.

Just said the same to a mate who supports Killie, TBF, he says it’s like that most weeks. I personally would struggle to watch that every second week. Neither side could barely string two passes together. That's one of the worst games I've seen in a long time.

Not too despondent. I'd have taken a point before the game at a really tricky venue. Obviously frustrating not to win from 2-0 up but it might not be the worst thing for the new manager to be so quickly appraised of our most glaring weaknesses.

[A Hi-Bee]

Yep gave the ball away so many times in the second half.

Worst he has played for weeks, not helped by Rocky and a poor goalie who must go soon.

[B.H.F.C]

One of the biggest complaints under Johnson was no clear way of playing. Not an issue today.

Going to be up and down between now and January until he has a chance to address the defence.

Positive signs but players are going to need to get fitter to play his way.

[JohnM1875]

Worst he has played for weeks, not helped by Rocky and a poor goalie who must go soon.

Don't think Marshall did too much wrong today? Definitely not at fault for either goal. Both are down to mistakes from Rocky unfortunately. No idea why he is where he is for the first and the second is just lazy and looking for a foul that never was.

Marsh to me just does not inspire much confidence in the defense, he slows it up then ends up kicking the ball out of play or up into no where land.
Rocky as I have said was at fault but not on his own, dont know how many time Newall misplaced passes and then non tackles put the defense under pressure, must do better and sure we will over time.

[LaMotta]

Jeggo has played well for about the last 4 games, time for people to stop the witch hunt.

I said he needs games, we dont have the luxury of having great players who can just fit into the defense and be stars overnight.

[Stuart93]

Thankfully, prizes are not given out until next May :wink:.

That’s why I said currently chief

[Stuart93]

Also undeniable that there are people on here that if we won 90-0 they would find something to moan about

We want 100

[Victor]

What was your thoughts on Stevenson today? How did he play? Unfortunately I couldn't make today's game so just wondering what you thought.

Stevenson was neither up nor down. Definitely think the pitch had a lot to do with it. Newell on the other hand wasn’t at the races. Don’t know if being Captain affected that! [emoji3]

[cabbageandribs1875]

It's okay, it's not like they love a win against Hibs









Oh oh.


Dinnae ... just dinnae :confused:


Mmm after another look, BBC updated that table at 5pm the points total is ok for five games but they haven't updated todays W L D column for todays results yet, but as they say in Ulan Bator it's the points column that counts

[tamig]

I’ve had plenty to whinge about so far. But under the new manager not so much.

The tables a depressing look just now regardless, that’s just a fact

Lol. We’ve had one game under the new manager - so you’re 100% with the moans. What a daft comment.

[scoopyboy]

He played left CH all last season, a good CH can play either side.

He certainly didn't play left CH all last season, nowhere near it.

[tamh]

Pleased Hanlon was dropped today. Stevenson should be nowhere near the starting lineup either.

I really hope this manager doesn't make the same mistakes as his predecessors by thinking he can rely on certain players.

Some get shot down on here for saying the squad needs an overhaul, lets hope the new manager sees that too.
They done alright last week...... Clean sheet aswell......

[Tully]

Thought game changed when doidge had to be subbed why no booking for the challenge, and when we inadvertently took of vente, we had no one to hold the ball up as Campbell was useless, Montgomery has seen the good and bad of his side which is a blessing in disguise, but rocky gives me the fear constantly when in team, he tried to do a porteous and buy a foul when they got corner leading to goal, one thing the manager will have noticed is that we could be fitter and that will be addressed, let’s be honest the surface is a disgrace and didn’t help either

[Stuart93]

Lol. We’ve had one game under the new manager - so you’re 100% with the moans. What a daft comment.

I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far from him and conducts himself a lot better than LJ ever did.

He’s definitely going to improve us.

Unreal how a comment about how poor the league table looks has triggered so many, ffs. It’s no that deep, it’s just looking poor currently. That’s not on NM

[Heisenberg]

Thought there were plenty positives to take from it but poor defending cost us again, Rocky especially.

[Daily Hibs]

You can't be pleased that Rocky played ahead of Hanlon surely?
I think the club needs to move on from Hanlon, its evident after his start to this season. So, yes I was pleased, you cant predict how Rocky is going to play. We didnt get beat at a difficult venue with a difficult pitch.

That was a positive for me today. I'm glad he didn't start Hanlon but he's been lumbered with a crap defence. We have a top 4 attack and bottom 4 defence and it's always going to be our Achilles Heel no matter who we start. In the games we haven't won we've scored a total of 7 goals in 4 games. Easy to see where the problem is. Needs sorted in January.

If Hanlon played in front of Rocky we would be sitting with another 3 points

Hanlon played very well at Aberdeen as did the whole defence.

I can only assume he was injured as after keeping a clean sheet for the first time this season the defence shouldn't have been changed.

I agree he needs to be replaced at some point going forward.

[AZhibee]

Also undeniable that there are people on here that if we won 90-0 they would find something to moan about

90-0, playing in the wrong league!

[Brooster]

Rocky shouldn't be anywhere near our starting line up.

[fife hfc]

If Hanlon played in front of Rocky we would be sitting with another 3 pointsTotally agree. Hanlon was part of a solid defence at Pittodrie and is far better than Rocky. Strange switch to me as NM couldn't have seen much of Rocky as he was away on international duty.

Glad Monty got a good look at the team. Disappointed to lose our lead. Some favourable fixtures (on paper) coming up so hopefully we can build some momentum.

He played it last season and we were ****ing shocking when he did.

Harbottle wasn't here last season, he was on loan at Mansfield Town.

Hanlons got a slight knock thats why he never started, wasn’t risked on the pitch

[J-C]

When he signed it was mentioned that he played LCH for the majority of the season, I can't be arsed looking up the thread and who said it but I can only go by what others post on here as I'd never heard of the lad before he signed.

Rocky is murder. Hopefully Hanlon back next week. Harbottle maybe had a poor game at Blackpool but he had a good game against Raith. I’d be playing him before Rocky

[Nicho87]

Not rated from the off

Can the experiment end now.

[JimBHibees]

Thought Rocky was ok first half. No idea what he was doing for the corner however no way the Killie guy should be getting a free header.

[fife hfc]

You would think Monty watched plenty of footage of us playing so should know what we are about.

Doesn’t need weeks to figure out what we all know in certain areas.

Post game interview.

Praising Jair too

[jacomo]

He’s also right footed. We needed to get a left footed player in and we never ever do.


Why? When did it become mandatory to have a left footed centre back?

Seriously?

This argument goes round in circles. Our defence have cost us stupid goals in every game this season near enough. None are exempt unfortunately.

[calumb]

New management team needs to get them to defend the back post at corners, Johnson did nothing about it despite us continuously struggling there, goal lost today could have been prevented

Depressingly true.

Mandatory no, preferable without doubt though.

Recall an interview with Pep where he stated that and if it's good enough for Pep.......................

IIRC Lennon said as much in an interview whilst our manager

Happily, for the next few weeks at least, we don't have to worry about who plays, who doesn't and what formation suits us best. This problem falls squarely with on the shoulders of NM. Today, he'll have learned more about the club, players and team than all the videos and chats to date.

Today was so typically Hibs and it's great than NM saw it in all it's gory detail. How he goes about solving this long-established conundrum will determine his success and longevity at ER.

[Hibbyradge]

The manager positively name checked him for "a good shift".

Whats your point? Did your choice of manager nit get the job?! Aberdeen are awful at the moment, Killie a much stronger team.

I’d love to know the game plan behind the goal kicks. Let’s get Rocky to play it short to Marshall so he can boot it up to nae ****. Brilliant.

Just back - this - wtf was that all about.

[Donegal Hibby]

Thought Rocky was ok first half . First Killie goal maybe he could have done more though think the midfield could have provided more covered too when Rocky was out wide covering . 2nd Killie goal I don't see how it's Rocky's fault tbh .

He tried to be clever and win a foul instead of putting it out for a throw or up the park, which then lead to him conceding a corner of which we conceded our goal from. Horrendous decision making.

Look at him conceding the corner. It's embarrassing. OK Miller didn't pick the man up but that wasn't the main error.

First goal was as bad, he totally switched off.

Root cause of both goals is Rocky's poor defending. Don't see how anyone can't see that.

I like Rocky, always have. Was buzzing the other day he got his first cap and have always said he has all the attributes to be a top player at this level. But both goals today were awful. He'll absolutely learn from it though.

[Brightside]

He played left CH all last season, a good CH can play either side.

A very good CH can play either side. There are very few of them. Right footers playing LCB struggle if they aren’t handy with their left foot. He was exposed on his left side totally due to him being so right sided. This isn’t a new idea and it’s why good LCB are a huge commodity. The second goal is easily dealt with by a simple clearance up the line but he gets himself in a tangle trying to do that and then tries to get a foul against him. I’m not blaming him but he will always struggle to play that side. We must make a LCB the no1 signing priority very soon.

[Mikey_1875]

Didn’t see it at the time but that is poor from Rocky for the first. Fart in a trance springs to mind. He has a lot of developing to do to be successful in a two man defence I think.

Second one I feel a bit bad for him. You see it every week, unfortunately he wasn’t very good at it. The error then compounded by poor marking from LM.

[Brightside]

I think the club needs to move on from Hanlon, its evident after his start to this season. So, yes I was pleased, you cant predict how Rocky is going to play. We didnt get beat at a difficult venue with a difficult pitch.

Hanlons start to the season is better than Fish. I’m all for getting better but we don’t have it in our squad right now.

I get he gave away the corner though he was marking a man in the box at the 2nd goal and imo it was bad defending from other Hibs players who were beat at the near post . We can blame Rocky for giving away the corner but cmon now we have to defend better than that .

[LaMotta]

I said he needs games, we dont have the luxury of having great players who can just fit into the defense and be stars overnight.

But if he hasnt looked good enough, why give him games???!
