Hibernian v St Mirren

[silverhibee]

Unacceptable performance here.

But don’t think the manager will get sacked after just bringing 7 players in, a severe pumping from celtc could end it though.

Levitt Jair Youan off.

[Septimus]

It’s fine.

2 20ish year old CBs. One of which is too injured for the bench.

****ing pitiful

Meanwhile Alex Gogic shines.

[James70]

Bill Foley now having second thoughts.

[Mark05]

I’ve seen many dreadful Hibs performances over the years and that half has to be up with them. We’ve been awful in every possible way.

Can't disagree with you,that was awful.I Can't believe we had a better passing accuracy than St mirren in that first half 75% every pass seemed to go astray can it get any worse ?

[DinkyTwo]

Yeah, time to go Nick.

Spent a bit of time trying to defend his insistence on 442 but as time has went on, he's become impossible to defend.

Players aren't buying into the system, Vente, Boyle, Youan, Fish all regressed under him.

It's just not worked out

[McGruber]

Stunned at how bad.

Sums up Montgomery- more possession and far more passes and no shots on or off target. 14 shot from Stirren from far less passes. We just go backward

2 in the middle against 3 kills you most weeks never mind with your 2, Levitt isn't mobile

Shocking

Yes. Away at McDermid, league cup 1998. We'd had a better first half than this one, although think score was the same at that point.

Jair.

[Saint Hibee]

Moriah-Welch already an upgrade on Levitt

[Hibs90]

This will end up 4 or 5 as we try push back.

He has to go after this barring a miracle.

[Northernhibee]

Playing with ten men would be an upgrade on Levitt.

I think we lost the ball in tackles before a pass could be made.

Yes,sloop I can accept stray passes but I can't accept not fighting for the cause I seen plenty of players just going through the motions that first half

To be honest - I actually hope that the team just ignore the Manager’s instructions, do our own thing and go for it - can’t be any worse can it 🤔

It’s cheating not giving that as a pen

[Hibees1973]

I never said I’ve been happy, I’ve challenged you on your endless tirade against the Gordon’s.

FWIW this manager is playing his way out the door. He’s been well backed by the owners, as was his predecessor.

What you are conveniently forgetting is this owner & CEO appointed him and the previous 2 clowns we had.

The owner and CEO are at the root of all our problems. Yes, the Gordons have supplied some cash, albeit some loans, but it has been completely wasted.

[J-C]

Surely VAR is there to spot what the ref has missed?

Maybe the ref didn't miss it and said to VAR he was happy it's not a pen, corrupt to the core.

[Hibs4185]

So much better without Levitt, Youan and Jair.

It’s like 11 v 11 for once

He's a forward, who we've seen do very well in a front 2 or 3. The same could be said for Maolida, Boyle and all our other forwards, so why hasn't our manager worked that out?
Not in a million years is he a wide midfielder and playing him in front of a 16-year-old full-back is simply madness.

But its been obvious as someone who has watched 40+ years of football that if you dont give your FB's some cover you will be in trouble. While many were criticising defence I have defended them to some extent due to the lack of cover.

Yup. And as one of my genuine older fellow fans here who have been a Hibs fan that saw Turnbulls Tornadoes .. get used to it 😉 … but seriously … I get it. So get it that we don’t look like we are on the up if you look at single matches just now … but it is … I believe … I have seen much much much worse in our history .. and in others clubs too … only Aberdeen and Dundee Utd challenged it after that time .. and then they were stamped down by money …
Having watched the Tornadoes I sometimes think it was a curse

[cabbageandribs1875]

yellow cards

3-3


can't even beat them on bookings

[grunt]

Was there booing at the end?Yes. Even when the team came over to the stand.

[Joe6-2]

Yes. Even when the team came over to the stand.

Cheeky gits

[Donegal Hibby]

That was just awful , as bad as I've seen us . Don't know were we go from here

[CMac1988]

This manager will bring us down to his level.
Get rid now ffs

The minute he came in and started playing 4-4-2 despite it being obvious it wasn't working for us after a short time is when alarm bells started ringing. People can harp on about it being 'dynamic' but they're delusional. Trying to force a system on players who can't play it was always going to be a recipe for disaster. I had the game on in the background and thankfully missed most of it but I don't care what he played today. If he can't see the obvious when it's staring him in the face then he'll need a lot more quality than he's got to brute force this team to results.

[ionahibby]

Still 7th which is a miracle.

[Lago]

Rapidly losing interest, could take a pounding on Wednesday.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Admins should close this thread in disgust. We will run out of adjectives to describe how bad that was.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Absolutely ****ing atrocious. That was awful. Horrible.

I want to like NM, I really do. And he seems an amiable chap as well.

But I have never ever been so bored watching a Hibs team and it’s been like this for a couple of months now. I actually wanted to give him time to bed in the new signings but having watched that today, we were worse than we’ve ever been.

Amiable is probably fair but I’m not sure that’s a great quality for a football manager. I reckon he must bore the players to death. Hes so dull, cant imagine him getting angry, cant imagine him getting excited.

[mcfly]

I read so many comments re best transfer window in ages.

Not addressing our obvious weaknesses with a powder puff defence and midfield is shameful.

The new manager seems lost and the board have to stand up and take full ownership of yet another poor appointment made by them

We are a joke right now. Bottom 6 certs and on this form lucky to bc avoid a playoff.

Disgusting performance today.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Correct. I’m trying my level best to be rational and calm and to see positives but there’s none. Absolutely zero.

How can a team have so much attacking options yet look completely toothless game after game.

[ShetlandHibby]

Look we’ve got to give these loan boys a chance to bed in. They’ve obviously got the quality to fire us up the league. It’s only a matter of time before the team clicks and we start winning games. All it takes is a break or bit of good fortune and the momentum will turn in our favour

[Mike Berry]

Not sure why he thought he could throw a new team together in a couple of weeks and have it work. Total mess today. Embarrassing.

You’ve got say,to oversee a transfer window like that with a director of football pretty galling,willing to give any players a chance but complete scatter gun of activity,lots of inexperience yet again. Three 20yr old cbs in a hibs side needing that awareness that comes with experience, we all know we lack. And there’s a guy like Gogic strolled it today. A player chased out virtually who clearly wasn’t the problem in the hibs team he played in. What a complete shambles!

I’ve found a lot of the praise given to BMcD a bit strange if I’m honest. There’s been absolutely nothing about him since he’s come in to suggest he’s any good at what he’s doing.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves once the Bournemouth link is in full flow if we’re going to be using their scouting/analysis etc anyway.

[Jones28]

What you are conveniently forgetting is this owner & CEO appointed him and the previous 2 clowns we had.

The owner and CEO are at the root of all our problems. Yes, the Gordons have supplied some cash, albeit some loans, but it has been completely wasted.

I don’t forget that. I acknowledge that fact, I also acknowledge that the Gordon’s as a family have done good things for Hibs but that they’ve also made mistakes.

What you never say is what YOUR solution is. You berate and berate without any actual input as to what the solution is.

And sacking Kensall is not a solution, it just creates another problem.

FWIW if Kensall left tomorrow I wouldn’t give a flying ****. He’s done good things off the pitch and made some stinking appointments (and one sacking) on it.

The team getting in loads of loans is a real gamble,I’d describe it as soulless,these players will in most cases move on.
The manager isn’t covering himself in glory,there is nothing in his time in charge to hang your hat on. Players are regressing in his style of play and although clearly not working he’s not for shifting his shape. It’s really quite bizarre in the context tbh. Mariners have kicked on in oz again as well,so the hype might’ve been all there is to Montgomery as a gaffer.
Guys like youan and vente even Boyle have lost their attacking edge in recent games looking like shells of the players they can be.

But the biggest disappointment has to be McDermott and his work so far. We all wanted Youan permanently and vente seemed a good find. Bit of a clamber on here for Levitt so was willing to say that was shrewd hoping folk were right. But defence was again neglected and again in January when you consider experienced hard wired defenders were needed.

[WhileTheChief..]

Exactly. When I asked this real Hibby, who lives in Oz, what he thought about Monty’s appointment, he just shook his head and said the standards crap and it might turn out to be a daft appointment. Looks like he was right.

Your mate was spot on. The fact that NM could win the title there says it all.

Imagine the standard of the league if his team were the best of them!

Always has been a footballing backwater, despite what you might hear from a few fans on here. Total joke of an appointment and adds to the reasons why BK should also leave.

But hey, we might sell a player on for a profit, so all is good.

No, sacking Kensall would create an opportunity. He and the real Chief Executive have serially demonstrated their complete lack of any football insight, regularly pissing away money on incredibly poor managerial appointments and squad signings. They know **** all about football and need to be kept away from that altogether.

Montgomery as an appointment fits in entirely with their amatuerish approach to bringing in players. The 'I've watched Moneyball and played a bit of Football Manager' mentality allowed them to think they were going to spot diamonds in the rough that no-one else could see, bring them on and then sell them for $$$$. They were **** at that. They've now done the same with firstly Maloney and now Montgomery. If the owners had any sense they'd bring in a more rounded and experienced CE, keep their own fingerprints the **** away from the running of the club and install a manager with some degree of pedigree to bring authority with him.

Hopefully Foley won't tolerate this amateur-hour stuff for much longer anyway. It's pitiful, embarrassing and needless.

Kensall’s job is primarily off the pitch - CEO and football side shouldn’t get mixed up

:agree:

The club feels like it needs another complete reset like we got when we got relegated. Hopefully it won’t take another relegation to see it happen but at this point in time, I wouldn’t bet money against it.

[jakedance]

Genuinely can’t remember seeing as bad a Hibs performance as that first half. Deeply concerning.

Yep. I’m fed up of hearing about all the Billy big baws pish that they speak. The rot has set in at the club and they’re at the epicentre of that.

The moneyball analogy is spot on. The part that is left out of that movie is that Billy Bean knows a hell of a lot about baseball, far more than our recruitment team know about football, that’s for sure. Statistics are all well and good, but you need to know what you need. Billy Bean knew what his team needed, Kensell and co haven’t got a clue.

Aye but he’s the one who lined us up with a back 4 that had 2 x 20 year olds and a 16 year old in it.

You’d get punished for that at amateur level, never mind SPL.

We had a month to sort out defensive issues. We’re no better off.

[B.H.F.C]

I’ve seen some ***** over the years but I can’t ever remember a worse performance than that.

I thought the attitude shown by some of the players was absolutely disgraceful.

We are the softest team on the planet and the main thing he/we had to do in January (sorting the defence) has been totally neglected. Ok, we’ve signed two centre halves but thinking two 20 year old centre halves (one of which didn’t make the bench) would fix our problems was complete suicide.

Aye but it doesnt matter if they are young only if they are good players apparently. Lot of *****. We needed proper experience to lead the team at the back and in midfield. The fact we still went with Newell and Levitt as a two in midfield was absolutely mental.

[neil7908]

How weak did we look across the park today? St Mirren were stronger than us to a man.

We've brought in a 6'3 CB who looks like he lose a battle with a wet paper bag.

We have no leadership, mental or physical strength and apparently a set of players who don't give a **** or are too young to impose themselves.

I've seen some of your replies to others who do not agree with you.

Is your solution to go along with the nonsense and incompetence pedalled by Kensell & The Gordons. Because if it is we are heading in the wrong direction fast.

None of us on here are in the position to provide a solution as we neither have the power, influence or money to do it. This is a forum for Hibs fans to comment, criticise or praise. Sadly, apart from a few on here who see grains of optimism when there is really none, there has been very little to get positive about Hibs for a long time.

What is clear is that Kensell & The Gordons have had a fair number of chances to appoint the correct people to get an attractive and successful team on the park. However, all their footballing decisions have been a complete and utter disaster.

My view is it is clearly far easier to remove Kensell than the owners. Kensell has been involved in and has his finger marks over a whole load of lamentable appointments and sackings and has to be removed from his post. I've seen comments that he works tirelessly for Hibs in his role. Fair enough, he may put in the hours but he has done more harm than good.

Which brings me to the Gordon family. You are right in one thing, I don't have a solution to them being removed other than hope for a takeover from a wealthy consortium, with hopefully an affinity to Hibs and Edinburgh.

I've said before I do not trust the Gordons or Kensell to make the correct decisions in Hibs interest. Things as far as I can see are getting worse.

[blackpoolhibs]

Correct. I’m trying my level best to be rational and calm and to see positives but there’s none. Absolutely zero.

How can a team have so much attacking options yet look completely toothless game after game.

We have a poor defence and that midfield is awful, Levitt is a passenger, Newell is a show pony and Jair is ****in useless.

And managed by someone who just has not got a clue, he'd get sacked from aa kids team with his tactics and system.

Another clown.

If people criticise Montgomery and want him gone for not switching from
His tactics that don’t work, then the same should be of Kensell. Need experienced defenders and yet again we get youngsters nowhere near our level.


Hes got the opposite to the Midas touch of anything fooot all related. It all turns into ****.

[Coach Jon]

Its so obvious that we dont have the MF numbers, I feel for Newell and Levitt as the manager has 2 wingers in who are not Midfielders, so they are getting overwhelmed by the opposition almost every week. Everyone can see that except the manager it seems, for that reason he needs to go.

Fight and leadership. When you sign the likes of Tavares, Youan, Milouda (I could mention loads others) no wonder there is no fight and leadership in the side.

We have signed a whole raft of players not suitable for the SPFL.

My solution now would be to appoint a tried and tested manager in our division. I wouldn’t sack Kensell, I think there’s people who need sacking before him and the reside in the dugout, not the boardroom.

For all Kensells made some **** appointments on the pitch I think he’s done a world of good off it and should be left to get on with that.

McDermott, I don’t think he’s entirely innocent in all this and needs to seriously examine Montgomery’s appointment and his input.

The squad is the squad, we can’t change it.

We could suggest the manager maybe tries something different?

Hes clearly banking on getting the time he got in Australia and that isn’t gonna happen here.

The Gordon’s are owners of the club. End of, and short of a Hibs leaning Anderson type deciding he wants to buy the club coming along then that’s it. That’s my main contention with bitching and moaning about the owners, they are not (in my opinion) free from criticism, but they have been generous with their money, it’s just a shame they’ve put their faith in the wrong people at times. At the end of the day they were thoroughly vetted by STF and his people, and that’s all the endorsement I need to trust they mean no ill will to Hibernian FC.

Fair enough Jones. Good post.

Yes, I understand you feel the Gordons mean no ill will to Hibernian FC. FWIW I don't either. Yes they have been vetted and deemed fit and proper people. But there is now an accumulation of evidence gathering after nearly 4 years that, as owners, they will be unable to get a successful Hibs team on the park.

But, until we have owners able to provide solutions we will have to put up with them.

[wookie70]

Not sure I have ever seen a Hibs team clapping the East and being booed at Full Time. Monty needs a miracle to still be in a job at the end of teh season. He could help himself massively by being more pragmatic and making us harder to beat. We must be a dream to play against. Lose every 50-50, complete lack of energy and intensity and massive weak points on our right combined with a team that is simply shocking at passing the ball. I enjoyed watching how simple St Mirren made the game look, make progress up the pitch as quickly as possible so the defence doesn't get a chance to set. When you get the chance to put it in the danger area then put it in there. Today was man against boy on the pitch and the dug out. We could easily end up in a play off position this season

Not sure I have ever seen a Hibs team clapping the East and being booed at Full Time. Monty needs a miracle to still be in a job at the end of teh season. He could help himself massively by being more pragmatic and making us harder to beat. We must be a dream to play against. Lose every 50-50, complete lack of energy and intensity and massive weak points on our right combined with a team that is simply shocking at passing the ball. I enjoyed watching how simple St Mirren made the game look, make progress up the pitch as quickly as possible so the defence doesn't get a chance to set. When you get the chance to put it in the danger area then put it in there. Today was man against boy on the pitch and the dug out. We could easily end up in a play off position this season

Never mind getting booed at full time, they got booed back ON to the pitch for the second half. That was definitely a new one on me.

None of us on here are in the position to provide a solution as we neither have the power, influence or money to do it. This is a forum for Hibs fans to comment, criticise or praise. Sadly, apart from a few on here who see grains of optimism when there is really none, there has been very little to get positive about Hibs for a long time.

What is clear is that Kensell & The Gordons have had a fair number of chances to appoint the correct people to get an attractive and successful team on the park. However, all their footballing decisions have been a complete and utter disaster.

My view is it is clearly far easier to remove Kensell than the owners. Kensell has been involved in and has his finger marks over a whole load of lamentable appointments and sackings and has to be removed from his post. I've seen comments that he works tirelessly for Hibs in his role. Fair enough, he may put in the hours but he has done more harm than good.

Which brings me to the Gordon family. You are right in one thing, I don't have a solution to them being removed other than hope for a takeover from a wealthy consortium, with hopefully an affinity to Hibs and Edinburgh.

I've said before I do not trust the Gordons or Kensell to make the correct decisions in Hibs interest. Things as far as I can see are getting worse.

No way you’re old enough to be using a keyboard in that case, Wookie!

Tanser and Kiltie were excellent. Embarrassing episode when one of our older 'fans' apparently invited Robinson to a square go - like it was his fault Hibs were awful.

Embarrassing

Everyone involved in the running of the club should take a long hard look at this picture and cringe in shame at the damage they're doing to us.

I wouldn't lose a moment's sleep if pretty much everyone in the boardroom, on the coaching staff, and the playing squad, all left today.

Absolutely zero enthusiasm or attachment to what our club has been infested with since the Gordon family arrived.

It won’t look to dissimilar to that at the start of the game on Wednesday, never mind by the end.

Out of interest what was the official attendance? Can't seem to find it anywhere

[ancient hibee]

Haven’t seen any highlights but first goal was a header in the box and the third was from a couple of feet. Our goalie was nowhere to be seen. Should he have done better?

[Donegal Hibby]

I thought Gogic was very good for them yesterday , player I wanted to keep . Jeggo and Doidge would have contributed more too .
