USA based hibby : first in person game for a year

[Bay Area Hibees]

A few comments and observations based on my first live game in a season or so.

Stadium is magnificent, the new (?) sound system is excellent.

Felt the crowd was very quiet, ultras were great and the drummers very good. Perhaps the quiet was due to the cold.

Possession based football: playing out from back but not a high press, reliant on pace up front.

We looked weakish at both full back but I have lots of love for LS and young Whittaker has a ton of promise. Great to see Rudi come on too.

Dons has so many chances, well played GM. Need to tighten up midfield ahead of the next few games.

Thought Fish and Rocky played well.

Team spirit was excellent - love to see SDG with the players.
Big lift with new manager.

Def in the hunt for 3rd spot, just a bit light in defense and midfield.

Enjoy rest or the season Hibs fans and ggtth.

can't really argue with any of that. mentioned to my mate I thought the crowd were really quiet too, really not sure why as first half in particular we played well and could have been more ahead. however with two second choice fullbacks on the pitch, I'd have taken a clean sheet all day - even if a little fortuitous - we were due some luck! centre of defence hasn't looked as strong since big Daz and he wasn't perfect (pace mainly). think we'll look to strengthen striker depth - expect to see Doige away and depending on le fondre injury we may get another in. be interesting to see where we are by the end of December!

I think the crowd still get a bit nervous with the style of football, playing out...its like folk still need time to fully get behind the managers ethos...

Bay Area Hibby I'm only just over an hour away from you, in Sacramento 👌 Haven't been home for a game since 2018, can't wait to feel the new look Easter Road with the improvements with the big screens, sound system etc. Glued to the Firestick for EVERY single game though! 🇳🇬🇳🇬

Attendance was given as 16580?

Seemed to be a lot of spaces so wonder if they just take ST’s away fans walk ups and hospitality

Also time of year, weather, economic climate and price are other factors

Good to see feedback from a fellow Hibee who has been away for 12 months

Cheers.
Yes assume season tix included in that number
Also agree with the gent who talked about the new style of playing - I think it still remember the kick and rush 💯 90 mph stuff.
Good to see a distinct way of playing.
