Nice wee strategic injury stopping momentum

[Up-the-slope]

what a start... chances / missed passes / dodgy pen (missed)... my pulse is racing

[cabbageandribs1875]

Fitbas done

it WAS a penalty, a defender can't jump with an arm sticking out like that

[Tambo]

Mon Hibs

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Hundred miles an hour. Too many slack passes

[Carheenlea]

John Cheaton at his best there - justice done.

Rocky couldn’t avoid contact and a fleeting glance off his arm that didn’t change trajectory of ball.

Let’s see what he tries next..

[neil7908]

Football is ****ed. Should be 3-4 pens per game under the current rules.

Not against Hearts or Sevco obviously.

[Callum_62]

It's certainly weird to see a pen pulled back minutes later when literally not one player claimed

It's a pen though - can't have your arm put like that unless you were blue

Absolutely 100% a penalty, no complaints.

He still has to score it though, eh?

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Must admit I'm surprised by Jair's continually starting at Youan's expense.

[Biggie]

Very harsh.....it could be argued it hit his shoulder.....anyway justice is served. Maybe one day we'll get a gift.

[cabbageandribs1875]

newell saves the day

[I'm_cabbaged]

Can you stop play for VAR? Is that not the point of the ****ing thing

[Tricla]

it WAS a penalty, a defender can't jump with an arm sticking out like that

You can't move laterally, or in any other direction actually, without putting your arm up for leverage. For that reason alone the rule is stupid. The hearts player then nudges his arm up towards the ball IMO.

[1875Sean]

Terrible touch from Miller almost cost a goal

[makaveli1875]

Cmon the hibees

[Smartie]

Must admit I'm surprised by Jair's continually starting at Youan's expense.

He did nicely to get to the byeline there, even if the ball in on his left foot wasn't great.

Youan would have beaten him twice then lost it when he went back to try to beat him third time.


This is a brilliant game btw. The derbies are so much more open than they've been in the not too distant past. Not great for the nerves.

[neil7908]

We're so slow moving the ball forward. We've won the ball high up a couple of times and ended up passing back to our CBs.

They win it off Miller and immediately flood forward and create a chance.

[Aldo]

Shankland gets away with murder

[HH81]

Frantic game but we need to get forward more.

That's not even a bad penalty, genuinely outstanding save. Still would let vente take the next

I didn't think that was a bad penalty - excellent save imo.

rocky heads high and wide

[Jones28]

Rocky has been excellent so far

[Jim44]

If you’re going take a long throw in, you have to make it count and not throw it straight to a defender.

[Smartie]

Whilst some of our passing has been very sloppy, so has theirs, arguably theirs has been worse.

I don't think that either of these teams are particularly easy to play against with the pressing involved.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Rocky has been excellent so far

I was just about to say this. Penalty aside, he's handled Shank the **** very well

[Aldo]

Doesn’t help we cannot hold the ball up. If we could find a player that could do that it would help no end.

Miller is very poor, not a surprise they are targeting him every single time.

Concentration key at both ends here... fine margins that mean a chance can be taken or given away

Hearts keep winning 2nd balls and it's annoying.

[Andymac85]

I like Miller, but some of his passing is woeful.

We are second to every ball at the moment that drops into the middle of park

Hearts have structure to their play, Hibs feeding off scraps. Campbell is like a man down.

[HFC 0-7]

Levitt seems to always be running about but can hardly ever get close to the ball or his man. He needs to get involved!

[cabbageandribs1875]

I hope so.


he's not played very well lately


and once again, wtf is wrong with him

[CMac1988]

Levitt and Campbell nowhere to be seen. Newell covering a fair bit more but our midfield leaves a lot to be desired.

[Aldo]

Miller needs hooked. He’s having a mare

[supermcginn]

He's out his depth in a game like this, adds absolutely nothing.

[Liam89]

What is actually going on with our passing here

[Aldo]

Head up compose yourself and bloody pass the ball

[greenlex]

There surely to fyvk has to be better right backs out there. Miller is generally poor imo. He is the weakest link in our defence and offers little going forward in any sense.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Miller has to be subbed at HT. Been awful

Finally. Better.

Tavares our biggest attacking threat tonight. He and Obita dovetail nicely when given the chance.

I'm generally quite critical of Levitt and he HAS been quiet, but when he has been involved I think he's been much tidier than the rest, much better in possession.

We could do with finding a way to get him more involved.

[SHODAN]

Very even first half.

Agreed. We haven't looked great defensively that side and done absolutely nothing going forward. Miller and Campbell is not a quality right side.

[hibIBZ]

Not much in this game, both teams careless in possession. Wouldn’t be surprised if it is a mistake for either team that decides it

Hibs passing at 65% is not good enough. As ever this game is for the taking for the team that wants it most.

[The Modfather]

Two evenly matched teams. Both been poor in the final 3rd. A few upgrades in January (replacements for Boyle, Levit & Campbell/the positions they are posting tonight) and think we could be onto something good.

Rockys been very good against Shankland, disagree with some comments. Otherwise its not difficult to see whats going on, were not keeping possession well enough, especially on the right. Very even game.

I have to say, I don't think I've got an issue with the formation tonight at all.

The composure isn't all it could be in possession although this is clearly a difficult game to play in - windy, getting pressed all over the place and struggling to know when we've got time on the ball or not.

This one's probably going to come down to who makes the biggest mistake at the most key time.

[Jones28]

So many nearly moments and letting ourselves down with the final ball. Miller is a good player and I like him but his passing and decision making tonight has been awful.

It'll be fine.

[King conrad]

Very frustrating first half and i just feel the game is there for us.
We need to calm down and get passing the ball, Miller and obita have been really poor on the ball Miller especially and the constant slack passes is killing any momentum.
Jair is up for this and has looked dangerous the few times he's had it, We need more care and get the ball to him more often.

Scrappy stuff. Newell, Fish, Rocky and Jair doing well. Obita ok but wasteful at times. Vente putting in another huge shift but nowhere near the danger area for the most part.

We need more from Levitt, Campbell, Miller and Boyle. They have all been way off it. Levitt has at least showed up in flashes but Miller and Campbell are almost laughably bad. The former looks injured, chasing that ball to the touchline was like watching a 70 year old running through treacle after a double hip replacement.

[Chip shop Joe]

Actually think it has been a decent game for a derby. I just really wish Levitt would step it up a bit. He is so pedestrian it is ridiculous and we really need a lot more from him.

[Callum_62]

It might be a typical hibs fans negatively since they haven't had. A shot on target but I just fancy them to take of these breaks and finish it

Our main threat has come down our left where Jair and obita (bar a few loose passes) have been pretty decent

In saying that we have also found ourself in good positions only to be a bit wasteful ourselves

If we go behind I'd throw him on, because we may as well lose 3-0 in trying to win 2-1 if that makes sense. When the game is in the balance, there's not a place for him in the team IMO.

[Northernhibee]

Double jeopardy isnt a thing here. It is a red card if the handball prevents a goal, handball intentional or not. They must have deemed it that Clark still had a chance to save it. You can see from the replay it was going in. Should have been red for me

Yeah, I thought it should have been a red. Not convinced it wasn't accidental.

[Hibrandenburg]

I don't think we've been that bad. We seem to have some fire in our bellies which has been lacking in too many Derbies.

At what point does that become a red card?

Can you just do a Schmeichel star jump and worse case you get a pen and a yellow?

We need to get some players in January who can pass a football.
That first half was a disgrace, serious lack of quality especially in our MF.

This. 442 or 433 is irrelevant - we don't have enough players that can move the ball quickly or accurately enough.

[J-C]

Not a massive fan of Miller, for all the 1st team football he's had this year, he's still very raw. Campbell needs to play behind the striker and get Boyle back on the right. If Youan comes on, it's needs to be through the middle with Vente.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Mckay is a good player. Need to keep him quiet

Have to say I think Vente is fortunate it’s hit his arm with what he has to aim at and having time to take a touch to settle it’s an awful finish imo either side of the defender it’s a goal

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

No changes for us

[Up-the-slope]

we need to adapt to their sub and not get pressed back... look for the channels in behind

He was putting back across the keeper who was already moving?

Think so.

This is where I want Vente

Poor start to second half

[cabbageandribs1875]

better from miller stopping the heid

[OtleyHibs]

Campbell looks in a lot of pain there

[CMac1988]

Well done Miller. Getting it tight but covered well there. ***** from Levitt again... (Come on be the difference!)

[HFC 0-7]

Get levitt off. He is chasing shadows out there. Miles off the pace.

[Paulie Walnuts]

This has just been an incredibly poor match. Two desperately poor teams.

Far too many players not good enough. Levitt, who folk were proclaiming you just need eyes to see how good he is, has been crap yet again.

[Callum_62]

Stretcher coming on for Campbell

Bad one

**** is taking Beaton so long to get the physio on there? Hearts player immediately signalling for a stretcher and he's strolling over without a care in the world. Prick.

[cabbageandribs1875]

stretcher for campbell


youan coming on

[Aldo]

O dear. Thats a real sore one for Campbell. Hope it’s not too serious

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Fantastic recovery from Miller

[neil7908]

Bagimane absolutely strolling through is their.

Youan for Campbell

Yikes that doesn’t look good for Campbell.

Josh looks in trouble. Hope it's better than it looks.

[Andymac85]

Looks like a long term one that.

I don't think him and Newell work.

Levitt was shocking trying to tackle Baningime. Couldn't get near him.

Ball was going middle of the goal and high it wasn’t a good finish it may have still gone in but there was better options either side of the defender he’s just hit it straight

[The Modfather]

Good defending by Miller. Although, has he lost a bet with that haircut?

[Up-the-slope]

enforced change not often good... hope Josh OK and it does not alter shape

[Chorley Hibee]

Sorry, but it's absolute garbage yet again.

Two piss poor sides, but we're the worse of the two so far.

[BSEJVT]

That was bloody awful by Levitt

Been a huge disappointment since signing for Hibs

[OtleyHibs]

All the best JC, hope its a speedy recovery

Youan could be a game changer here

[ElginHibee]

Really hope Campbell's injury isn't as bad as it looks.

[cabbageandribs1875]

imbecile throws a coin on

[Smartie]

The enforced Youan for Campbell change might win or lose the game for us tbh.

They've been much better than us since the break.

[Aldo]

All the best JC, hope its a speedy recovery

He can but needs to be a bit more composed.

On a side note Hearts having the better start to second half

[SlickShoes]

Yep really poor, really wanted him to be good but he has been gash

[ElginHibee]

Youan at least trying to gee things up. :thumbsup:

[HH81]

No real change to the first half giving the ball away far too much.

[CMac1988]

He's been pish. Good range of passing but you rarely see it. That's about it. Just jogs about most of the game, often gets caught on his heels.

Compose yourself ffs
