The players seem united
The team has a “style” or as Michael Stewart would harp on about “an identity”
The manager has conviction
The players have responded positively to him
The fans like him - or so it seems
Youth is getting a chance but wisely used
Several players seem refocused under him

Pretty good summary. If the results continue and the style develops to be a good bit more entertaining then we could really be on to something

After losing our opening 3 games under the previous management, the only games we have lost have been at Ibrox and Parkhead. Can't ask for much more than that.

It’s hard to argue with 2 defeats in the league - both to the old firm.

And 4 wins out of 5.

But, imo we’re riding our luck a bit and need to play 20 yards higher with more intensity. We done it today after the goal until half time and Livi really struggled. Same against Aberdeen last week.

Do it more often than we do, with his own players and hopefully we improve even more

Agree.. but I’d rather we continue to concentrate on doing the basics very well and getting results. Performances will only improve over time

Players playing back to form
Seeing out the 90 minutes
Responding after a defeat
Continuing to score
Being hard to beat (outside the OF)

Rather be lucky that good!

I loved the fact that at the end of the game NM brought the players right the way to the end of the stand to.applaud the fans. We were right down the front. Great feeling around the club just now.

Starting to get the wins where we would have lost leads before. You can see what we are trying to do. Still ride our luck at times and wins have been far from convincing but that links to to title of this thread, we are still work in progress. Depth of squad in key positions is having a massive impact. Another window or two and will be interesting to see where the squad is.

We were able to get that result with a 16 yo at RB, 2 mainly first choice defeders getting a rest and still light on the ground with long term injuries.
I can't wait till Cadden is in the mix, for example.
We're getting better at executing the plan and the players seem to be "trusting the process". We're getting better. We're making our own fortune and a lot is to do with mentality and attitude. There's a togetherness and determination there.
A work in progress but moving forward. Definitely moving forward. For the first time in a long time I think we can just trust the boss.

I agree. I'm a fan of the manager. And everything you hear from behind the scenes is very positive. However... thought we were terrible yesterday. Need improvement in next two tricky away games.

The surface and the weather had a great deal to do with our performance yesterday.

Early days but probably the most I’ve liked and been fully invested in a Hibs manager since Lennon. Really enjoying supporting Hibs just now, Monty will have us playing even better over time.

We deserve it.
