Hibs v Celtic

[Vault Boy]

It’s like Celtic are playing a different sport. The levels are stark.

[dp00]

I would suggest we get Bowie on at half time and change up the midfield not only are they rubbish but there on yellows

Kuhn runs through the whole team and decides to showboat, saving us a guaranteed third goal.

[Lago]

Our inexperienced coaching team are being given a reality check here, a hard lesson.

[Centre Hawf]

This is absolutely ****ing diabolical by the way. No excuse for some of the school boy play we're producing. Off the ball is totally brutal.

[cabbageandribs1875]

aw come on boyle :(

[Stuart93]

A very predictable disasterclass from these two.

[SteveHFC]

Game plan ha ha

[BSEJVT]

Wtf was that Boyle?

[supermcginn]

Campbell falling over trying to tackle Kuhn then short with the pass out wide, get him off

[Vault Boy]

Jesus Christ, Boyle, pass the ****ing ball.

[Chorley Hibee]

Remember all the posters desperate to tell us our free transfers and loans in defence/goalkeeper had improved us.

They're about as good as I expected.

Trust the process.

[DH1875]

Mind SDG was building his team round Josh ****ing Campbell?

That laddies rotten. A championship footballer at best

And folk on here were lapping it up.

[Stuart93]

What was it, hundreds of candidates for the job and we decided our coach was the best man for it?

Na, not for me.

[J-C]

That chase back and taking the ball off Boyle shows what a proper midfielder McGregor is.

[Coco Bryce]

Offer Boyle back to Dundee.

[Berwickhibby]

Boyle does not look interested

[Stuart93]

And folk on here were lapping it up.

He’s a hibs lad.

Plenty goals and assists.

Utter tosh

[Heisenberg]

Campbell falling over trying to tackle Kuhn then short with the pass out wide, get him off

He needs hooked, having one of the worst games I’ve ever seen in a Hibs jersey.

[Bostonhibby]

Game plan ha haTrust the process, and if that doesn't work there's always the golden quadrant

[SHODAN]

I don't see a lot of trusting in the process right now

[Donnchadh1875]

It's just very, very disappointing but very, very predictable. Levitt, Newell and Josh Campbell :panic:

[NC1875]

Our inexperienced coaching team are being given a reality check here, a hard lesson.

Glad we went through that whole process and got the right man for the job though. No manager should be learning there trade at Hibs

[Coco Bryce]

Since last week.

[Ronniekirk]

Pitch looks fantastic
That’s probably the highlight of the day right there

[Oranje39]

Gray needs to hook Campbell and Levitt asap.

[silverhibee]

Say what you like about Gray, Kensell, Montgomery and whoever else but these jokers on the park need to take a look at themselves again.

Sloppy, lazy football from so many of them.

One of them got rewarded with a contract extension when he should have been getting replaced and he is now the captain.

[BSEJVT]

He is finished

A liability now

[SHODAN]

That’s probably the highlight of the day right there

Block 7 further away from my seat now too!

[Since452]

Hopefully McCowan isnt watching

[Berwickhibby]

Passing has been woeful

[blackpoolhibs]

Obita actually defended well with a clearing header, then goes down clutching his head when he was not touched anywhere near it. :faf:

Lewis Miller has been teaching him.:rolleyes:

[Swedish hibee]

Are we fit?

[J-C]

See everyone slagging off Vente to then see Myko touching the ball maybe twice in 30 mins, defence and midfield has always been our problems.

[Lago]

Glad we went through that whole process and got the right man for the job though. No manager should be learning there trade at Hibs
Your right, he should have been learning his trade at Ayr, Raith or Pars for example, but Hibs????

[IanM]

Passing has been woeful

It’s been worse than the defending

[dp00]

We just get it and punt it up field and Celtic come back …. Prob see better tactics down leith links

Fit for relegation

[chrisski33]

Open your eyes, the guy is the best midfielder we have, we are lucky to have someone as good as him.

Thats a funny one 😂😂🤣 says it all if hes our best midfielder. Should never have been given a new contract or become Captain

[H18 SFR]

Campbell wants an exit strategy here, hand heartedly into scales and McGregor before half heartedly limping away.

[SHODAN]

Can we send on one of the 5 billion sponsors we've signed this season to shake things up?

[Ronniekirk]

Ekpiteta certainly hasn’t made a good start to his Hibs career. Looks like a massive downgrade on Hanlon so far.
And Hanlon didn’t want to leave Yes we wanted better but the danger always was we wouldn’t Early days and it’s Celtic so will judge him starting with the Dundee game at home

[cabbageandribs1875]

What was it, hundreds of candidates for the job and we decided our coach was the best man for it?

Na, not for me.

SDG had to go through a rigorous interview process











even though it was his job the minute he stated publicly he wanted it, three weeks before the interviewing started

[cjhibee1]

How are we worse than last season? Campbell and Ekpetita are just not up to it

[cabbageandribs1875]

no goals for a while, we've steadied the ship

[BroxburnHibee]

Celtic won't have an easier game all season.

That squad has relegation written all over it

[GordonHFC]

Campbell and Newell booked in the first 10 mins. Who the ^^^ is going to put tackle in now. Our midfield is a disgrace

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Thats a funny one 😂😂🤣 says it all if hes our best midfielder. Should never have been given a new contract or become Captain

BH is clearly at the wind up which is a bit unusual. 😀

[CallumHibs07]

All these new signings and we are STILL starting with Campbell, Newell and Levitt in midfield. Absolutely criminal

Get Newell off.

Utter *****!

[Unseen work]

Celtic are absolutely miles ahead all over the pitch

But we need to do so much better

Bursik needs to do so much better for the first goal

Our passing is horrendous and leads to the second

We don’t seem to have much plan other than launch it in the corner

So so poor

[Joe6-2]

All these new signings and we are STILL starting with Campbell, Newell and Levitt in midfield. Absolutely criminal

Sums it all up

[SHODAN]

Guys I think we lost the process

[BSEJVT]

Boyle has totally lost it

His pace is gone

Soul destroying

[Smartie]

Sloppy, lazy football from so many of them.

Spot on.

They get an easy ride at times as we go for the usual scapegoats.

[Stuart93]

Swanson was nothing special that day. Mcginn bossed Ntcham so badly he never recovered.

I agree they are rare. But writing us off before kick off is pathetic.

It’s not pathetic.

It’s just predictable.

[Gatecrasher]

We needed an experienced manager.

[supermcginn]

Boyle has totally lost it

His pace is gone

He's not trying a leg

[Heisenberg]

Spot on.

They get an easy ride at times as we go for the usual scapegoats.

I said similar towards the end of Monty’s time at the club I’m sure. Same players get away with chucking the towel in and playing like this way too often.

[blackpoolhibs]

BH is clearly at the wind up which is a bit unusual. 😀

Me?

Newell just hit a lovely ball 10ft over Rudi's head out for a throw in, Campbell would have been proud of that one. :faf:

Levitt can come on any time he likes, they need some help in the midfield soon.:rolleyes:

[silverhibee]

We are all over the place here, back line must have been spoken to now, but another one is coming.

[NC1875]

We needed an experienced manager.

Trust the process. By the time the window closes we’ll manage to make up all the points the teams above us have while we sit bottom.

[Liam89]

This is like the worst sunday league team playing vs top of the league.

Hibs players just don't look arsed to be there, ready for it to be over from the 3rd minute.

[Vault Boy]

We needed an experienced manager.

We need players who aren’t utter *****

[hibee_girl]

Levitt does a lot of standing still

[SHODAN]

Campbell looks tired already?

[tonyrougier123]

The passing all over the park is sloppy.
Celtic won’t need to up the gears here. Script written.

[Lago]

You look at the pitch, fantastic, the stadium is absolutely fantastic, and then the end product on the pitch is just so poor.

[sauzee=legend]

He's not trying a leg

Boyle is utter sh*t!
Legs have gone, can’t cross a ball, can’t finish.
Gets a free ride from 90% of the fans.

[Coco Bryce]

Levitt does a lot of standing still

Forgot he was even playing.

[Up-the-slope]

Campbell and Newell booked in the first 10 mins. Who the ^^^ is going to put tackle in now. Our midfield is a disgrace

were they bookings? listening on radio and hard to tell but unusual to get so many early ones

[Liam6270]

Just been to my sons under 15 game and there is clear style being coached into the players, little triangles and one touch passing, no big aimless punts up the park, what is being coached at East mains? Theses absolutely no identity at all in fact it’s brutal to watch this team fail to do even the basics. What’s also infuriating is the lack of effort on show whether its attitude or fitness either way this is simply not good enough

[timewilltell]

We needed an experienced manager.

This!!

[K-Zazu]

Campbell is Scottish championship/league 1 level

[HibsGW]

Does Campbell even want to be playing? Just pottering about holding his arms and legs every 2 mins.

[Ronniekirk]

Packie Bonnar not convinced by our keeper.
Niether am I ,and the guy smith doesn’t look that great iether Marshal was better than both when properly fit

[The Modfather]

It’s like Montgomery never left. What is different about a David Gray team?

Newell & Campbell as his undropables will see him gone before the season is out. It’s just last season minus Maolida.

[BSEJVT]

I would have Boyle off at half time

If Bowie is any semblance of fit he couldn’t do worse

[Donnchadh1875]

McGowan's price has just gone up and any other player we want

[J-C]

Jeezo, has Newell made a pass that isn't overhit by miles yet.

Pass it about a bit, pass it back to Marvin and then lump up the pitch, so predictable and *****.

[tonyrougier123]

He's not trying a leg

He needs ball on to feet or a decent ball to chase neither happening.

[SHODAN]

What's Adam Bogdan up to?

[Up-the-slope]

Boyle is utter sh*t!
Legs have gone, can’t cross a ball, can’t finish.
Gets a free ride from 90% of the fans.

hes certainly way from his best if how he played against Peterhead is any indication

[Pedantic_Hibee]

It’s like Montgomery never left. What is different about a David Gray team?

Newell & Campbell as his undropables will see him gone before the season is out. It’s just last season minus Maolida.

This midfield will see off SDG, much as it has seen off the last few managers.

[Swedish hibee]

Have we had a shot on goal?

[SteveHFC]

Every team in this league will walk through that midfield

[Greenio]

Campbell looks gassed

[SHODAN]

This midfield will see off SDG, much as it has seen off the last few managers.

Common denominator still firmly in place.

[Gatecrasher]

Have we had a shot on goal?

Nope, the stats are mental how much they are on top of us.

[supermcginn]

He needs ball on to feet or a decent ball to chase neither happening.

He doesn't want to be here and it's blindingly obvious.

[Stuart93]

Canny believe people question about us potentially overpaying for McCowan.

****ing pay whatever it takes before this midfield eventually drag us down into the championship

[hibee_girl]

Newell’s not improved his set pieces I see

[supermcginn]

Newell's set pieces are a disgrace.

[NC1875]

Best midfielder we have. Straight out the park 😂😂😂

[GloryGlory]

This midfield will see off SDG, much as it has seen off the last few managers.

After this SDG should be banging on Kensell's door and DEMANDING new signings (plural) for the midfield. Either that or he should think about his own position because he's on a hiding to nothing as a coach with these jokers (players and senior management) and his management career could be over before it's begun.

[Berwickhibby]

Ffs Newell that free kick is unacceptable

[Since90+2]

See everyone slagging off Vente to then see Myko touching the ball maybe twice in 30 mins, defence and midfield has always been our problems.

Don't think you can blame Myko to the same level as Venue until he starts missing sitters.

[Scorrie]

Newell’s not improved his set pieces I see

He is woeful. Really wish we could move him on.

[silverhibee]

Shocking from our captain.

[Coco Bryce]

**** Off Newell!

[GloryGlory]

He is woeful. Really wish we could move him on.

Move him on? We've just given him a contract extension AND the captaincy.

[Stuart93]

Captain and new deal for that absolute joker

[blackpoolhibs]

Celtic are good, no getting away from it, but we have a team of watchers, players who watch the opposition run off the ball but react so slowly to it all the time.

So far the signs on this lot is bad, a slow decline season after season will eventually see us relegated unless something drastically changes.:rolleyes:

[J-C]

Terrible freekick by Captain Fantastic, this midfield has got 3 managers the bullet, they're after another one by the looks of it.

[Up-the-slope]

Have we had a shot on goal?

none on target OR even off target according to radio

[B.H.F.C]

Get Joe Newell so far to ****. He should never be captain of this football club.

[hibee_girl]

He is woeful. Really wish we could move him on.

He’s going nowhere. Club captain and we’ve just given him a new deal.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Abysmal free kick from Newell.

Newell, Campbell and Levitt should be replaced or this team is going down.

[Heisenberg]

There can be no surprise that the same combination of ***** midfielders is coming up with the same result.

[hibIBZ]

What planet is Newell on today? Him and Campbell are red cards waiting to happen.

Actually forgot Levitt was playing. Our midfield is terrible and our two new centre backs really don’t fill me with much confidence

[hibee-boys]

Does Campbell even want to be playing? Just pottering about holding his arms and legs every 2 mins.

He’s sxxx it, knows he’s embarrassing himself out there.

[Joe6-2]

Yip, he could replace Campbell Newell and Levitt and they could have no complaints.

[MWHIBBIES]

Thank god the match day experience has been improved or we'd be really miserable.

[GloryGlory]

Multiple and prolonged ar$e kickings required at HT by SDG and the coaching staff!

[Not In The Know]

Boyle has totally lost it

His pace is gone

Judging by what I’ve head about him that comes as no surprise.

[itslegaltender]

The Newel cultists on here for last 4 seasons. How do you defend that?

2nd game of the season and the HT boos are starting already.

First half summary

What a mess.

[SaulGoodman]

Midfield is dire. Can’t find a pass when attacking and can’t defend either.

[Saint Hibee]

I prefer Rocky to Ekpeteta; at least he’s got some pace.

[Since452]

2-0 at HT is a huge relief.

[CL0762]

The Newel cultists on here for last 4 seasons. How do you defend that?

He’s the best midfielder so apparently if you replace the rest and keep him we’ll be much better.

He’s absolutely ****ing ***** and has been for years. Anyone with eyes can see it.

[Stuart93]

HOW CAN WE KEEP PLAYING THE SAME MIDFIELD

manager after manager

[Chorley Hibee]

Another truly pathetic 45 minutes.

They should be ****ing ashamed of themselves and their level of application and desire.

Celtic will have harder training sessions this week.

There's seriously about 2 players I would keep.

We are relegation material.

[sleeping giant]

Miller only one who seems to be trying

Opinions eh. I think he's been a huddy.
Just waiting on them having a go. Doing nothing.

[HendoDelivered]

Boos ringing out

Tame tbf

[The Modfather]

The Newel cultists on here for last 4 seasons. How do you defend that?

By going from “best midfielder we have” to “least of our problems” to “he will be better with better players” to “yes, but X & Y were worse” to “playing midfield himself”

[The Captain....]

Not one area of the team works.

Defence - ***** and gaffe prone

Midfield - invisible and mentally weak

Forwards - rarely get a chance. Miss when they do.

[Tambo]

Disappointing first half for Hibs, far to much space at the back for the first and 3/4 Hibs players could have been a little more alert for the second, also questions from some regarding the GK with both goals.

I accept the gulf in quality from both team, expect a little more fight and better play on the ball, midfield really poor, I accept some received an early yellow card.

Bowie for Boyle
Any 3 for Newell, Campbell and Levitt.

[Bobo]

No better than last season.

Still can't pass, have no pace, don't commit to the ball, play with one up front and have no threat going forward!!¡!

Keeper is horrendous and Gray will be gone pretty quick if this is all his teams will have to offer?

We're going nowhere fast!

[Unseen work]

That Newell free kick summed up the first half

Everyone thinking if we score here before half time you never know

Overhits it for a goal kick

Just give them a chance to get on the end of it!

Gray and co better be putting the boot into them at half time

[#2 Double Tap]

The Newel cultists on here for last 4 seasons. How do you defend that?

if he was played in the 10 position he would be involved in the game, he has never played a good game as the 6, his only good games have come when he is in the 10 position. thats how we defend it.

[Carheenlea]

Didn’t get out my seat once - just nothing there at all in that half.

Make changes elsewhere all you like but working with same midfield as last term just presents the same failings as before. No drive or creativity to leave forwards isolated and defence under pressure.

Whatever Dundee want for McGowan we need to give them it. Can’t afford not to.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

SDG’s paternal handling of Campbell will be another nail in his coffin. The laddie looks embarrassed out there up against proper midfielders.

[silverhibee]

He’s going nowhere. Club captain and we’ve just given him a new deal.

Terrible decision to give him a new contract, Gray should have told him he needs more from him in games and if he delivers then there might be an extension to his contract later in this season.

[Col2]

Set up all wrong from the start. We could all see it before the game. You can’t start that midfield against Celtic - no legs, no physicality. We had to start with a DM or set up differently.

The defending 2 mins in is criminal to let Celtic strike rain from his own half through on goal and the reaction to the follow up even worse.

2nd goal was even worse. We pissed about and gave it away and then didn’t close down MacGregor.

We should be 4 or 5 down.

I don’t get me started on Newell and Boyle. Two of our experienced side both been captains and literally can’t pass, run, tackle or contribute anything.

An absolute disgrace but you get what you deserve and SDG is far from blameless. Embarrassment

[Unseen work]

There needs to be a game plan other than launch it in the corner

Taylor had pocketed Boyle.

[Tambo]

No better than last season.

Still can't pass, have no pace, don't commit to the ball, play with one up front and have no threat going forward!!¡!

Our only threat looked like Rudi again.

[SHODAN]

Sign McCowan, Campbell and Jack. I don't care how much it costs us. We are in a relegation battle if we lose next week.

[Shrekko]

I prefer Rocky to Ekpeteta; at least he’s got some pace.

Obviously he’s still settling in but at the moment your comment looks spot on.

[Lancs Harp]

2-0 at HT is a huge relief.

Was thinking the same. I spent much of that half watching the clock, its going to be a long afternoon. A long season if something doesnt change.

[silverhibee]

Judging by what I’ve head about him that comes as no surprise.

Let’s not go there eh.

[Northern Hibby]

And Rudi

He hasn't been involved much, we seem to be playing hoofball

[cabbageandribs1875]

Boyle has totally lost it

His pace is gone


i remember saying once his pace has gone he' will be p@sh












that was about seven years ago right enough so he's lasted a lot longer than i thought :)

[wookie70]

Surely Campbell, Newell and Boyle replaced at HT. Two an accident waiting to happen and another waiting for an immigration and transfer down under. SDG is certainly not shy about making decisions that will see him criticised if they don't work. The starting line up looked like it would be a disaster but has possibly been worse than expected. Celtic appear to be playing a friendly

[Hiber-nation]

Worst midfield in the league and doesn't look like getting fixed any time soon.

[jeffers]

Newell pish. As he was in the second half last week and the game before that. He has far more good games than bad apparently though.

[Bobo]

Our only threat looked like Rudi again.

I agree but we shouldn't be relying on a young lad as much as we do.

[1875M]

Marv looks slow and cumbersome. His passing is also poor. Will reserve judgement as I feel he’s being hung out to dry by thosev3 imposters in the midfield.

Keeper looks dodgy.

Campbell is League 1 at best.

Wasn’t expecting much but my god, that was poor.

[Scouse Hibee]

What shape are we supposed to be playing here?

Someone needs to tell the players.

Does the manager know, never mind the players!

[Col2]

Obviously he’s still settling in but at the moment your comment looks spot on.

We actually look worse defensively this season than last. Can you believe it😡

Hibs.net where you are either utterly dreadful and always have been. Or the best thing ever, exactly what we've needed for years.

Newell is a decent player. Decent players have good and bad games. Campbell is a poor player. Most of his games are poor. No one thinks our midfield is good.

Today surely isn't surprising? We're not good enough anywhere.

[SteveHFC]

Any pass marks at all for any player - not hearing much positive on the radio

Rudi and myko are exempted as they had nothing to work with, rest can **** right off and I won't miss any of them. Been said already but this team is good enough to get relegated

Boyle anaw.
What is he doing? Contributing nothing.

[Gatecrasher]

All I wanted was the team to give us some hope for the season, I don't even have that right now 😅

[mcfly]

This is going to be a long season if we continue playing like this.

No shots/nil on target says it all prob about 30% possession if we are lucky.

The board must come up with money to improve this powder puff midfield.

So early in the season and it's a worry already.

SDG’s paternal handling of Campbell will be another nail in his coffin. The laddie looks embarrassed out there up against proper midfielders.

He’s pretending to be injured.

Where people get this stuff about his amazing work-rate/pressing etc I will never know. He’s strolling about like the rest of them and blowing out his backside.

He thinks throwing his arms around and pointing deflects from how out his depth he is. If he’s a first pick for another fortnight longer we are in trouble. He is not a top league player.

[overdrive]

Midfield is a disgrace. How we are stuck with Newell, Campbell and Levitt again is a damning indictment on the club.

Never mind being a downgrade on Hanlon and Fish, the new centre halves are a downgrade on Rocky which is terrifying.

Boyle is finished.

The keeper is diabolical too. We are going to be in real trouble this season.

[CMac1988]

Miller only one who seems to be trying

Yup... Arguably the only one trying a leg but still sold the first with his dreadful awareness and defending. Everything wrong with Hibs. The players that try their best are short on quality. Those with quality looks miles of of it. Not enough in the squad with a bit of both at the level required.

[Ozyhibby]

Amos and NMW for Campbell and Levitt. Bowie for Boyle and Cadden for Rudi.
That’s about all that can be done.
Doubt Gray is that ambitious though.

Lets face it fellas no one in a Hibs shirt covered themselves in glory in that first half.
Im sure Miller doesnt understand football, he gets caught out of position constantly and seems to lack any kind of awareness of whats happening around him. He's a trier i just wish he coukd play football. A bit churlish to pick him out tho as i said in the opening paragragh the entire team was hopeless in that first half.

[ChuckNor]

Get Ekpiteta, Campbell and Levitt off at HT.
I refuse to believe that Amos is worse than Campbell. He just can’t be.

That midfield is just awful, Rudi is learning from a bunch of hopeless losers. Who in their right mind decided that Dylan Levitt was worth all that money and would make any difference to our team.

He cant run, cant tackle and stands around while the game goes on all around him. Campbell is a championship player at best, football ability zero, can run about a bit but dont under any circumstances give him the ball, he will probably trip over it.

And Newell, i've never been a fan, since signing he has had the odd good game but in the norm he's just an average player who does nothing really well but on average gives an easy pass sideways or backwards.

He sits in between the centre halves trying to get the game moving, but he does it at a pace so slow, we normally have every player behind the ball before he's released the pass.

Boyle can go, he's finished, pace gone and not a threat going forward anymore. Thanks for the memories, and there have been plenty, but Rudi apart, that five playing in the middle today, 4 of them can **** off now and we wont miss any of them if they were replaced with a traffic cone.

[overdrive]

McKirdy has gone in early. Might be coming on. Should be for Boyle.

[The Captain....]

Signed 8 players and relying on an 18 year old to be our creative outlet.

Trust the process..**** OFF.

As poor and timid a collection of players I've seen in 50 odd years.

Hopefully. Boyle has contributed zero as he usually does these days.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Come on guys. Trust the process :rolleyes:

Bringing on a traffic cone would be a statement.

[Lago]

Does the manager know, never mind the players!
That to me is the real question and it worries me.

[hibee_girl]

Doesn’t look like any changes at HT

[BSEJVT]

Gray is either naive or stupid or has deliberately set out to stitch Levitt up

This was never the type of game for him

I would have picked the fittest hardest ****er to shore up that midfield

Instead we play a man absolutely no use without the ball and plenty time on it.

Not one who is ever going actually win it.

[sleeping giant]

Nae subs ffs

[hibeez1875]

As well as the familiar old problems, I fear we have some new ones too. The central defenders and keeper that have come in for a start.

[overdrive]

McKirdy has gone in early. Might be coming on. Should be for Boyle.

No changes by the looks of it. He maybe just needed a wee

[dp00]

Can be no excuses for no changes at HT

No subs at half time, absolutely incredible.

[BroxburnHibee]

No changes 🙄

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

At least it’s only 0-2. Still in the game :aok:

[J-C]

So no changes then, why? FFS.

[Trinity Hibee]

The radio called the high line before the first goal went in. Seems mad to setup that way against this Celtic side

[Northern Hibby]

Hoofball that's all it is

[Lancs Harp]

Kicking down the hill second half, we've got this.

[Stuart93]

SDG just isn’t what we were needing right now

The guys been a coach with us for how many years and he’s also going with the same midfield.

[SHODAN]

Getting battered already.

[hibee-boys]

No changes at half time?😂 My concern with SDG getting the job was him being too close to the players, looks like he’s unable to put the good of the team over upsetting his pals, keeps this up and he’ll be away before Xmas.

[SteveHFC]

Should have been 3

[Greenio]

Were not playing well.

But this team put 4 past Man City and 4 past Chelsea. They are a better than they were last season by some stretch...with the same players.

Good teams make you play bad

Ekpiteta looks awful, a downgrade on Rocky.

[CMac1988]

...

How can he make no changes. I'm sorry but as much as I want to persevere with Gray and blame the players, decisions like that make me question his ability. Been a few decisions that are questionable but you don't have all the facts at times. However you only have to look to him starting Levitt today. NMW might no be the answer long term in the same group but he'll offer so much more against Celtic.

[SteveHFC]

Obvious gray said **** all to them ar ht

[hibee_girl]

That’s unacceptable from Boyle, pass the ball!!

[HarpOnHibee]

Gravity could give us a 90 degree advantage and we'd still be getting hammered.

[CMac1988]

Good save. Offside anyway.

[cabbageandribs1875]

lol boyle

[Scottie]

Men against boys I’m afraid. No fight no desire. Shocking.

[supermcginn]

Make a sub ffs

[BSEJVT]

Boyle with the finish of a clueless man who just wanted to lash it as hard as the could

Please just go before folk turn on you

Exactly …. He needs to make a statement that this performance is not acceptable

Got to disagree there, rocky has had more than enough chances to prove himself

[Donnchadh1875]

:wink:We seemed to sack managers easily enough. Can we not just sack some players?

[Northern Hibby]

Couldn't pass wind

[Curried]

Obita just jogging around at left back FFS

[silverhibee]

:agree:
So early in the season and it's a worry already.

With us playing them again next week our confidence is going to be zero.

This is not good viewing.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Are Rudi and Levitt still playing?

[Wull]

Good save from keeper, things looking up

[H18 SFR]

Why isn’t Gray making a change? Surely he’s not comfortable with the impact Campbell is having on the game?

[B.H.F.C]

How on earth can we still be doing the same thing.

[blackpoolhibs]

Ekpeteta is looking like a downgrade on Rocky, which surprises me, as when a saw him for Blackpool he was quick strong and cleared everything out his way, a no nonsence defender.

He looks out his depth in our side.:confused:

[Trinity Hibee]

That’s what gets me. How many managers have persisted with the same players and formation with it not working?

[Stuart93]

Cause the managers are ***** as well

Having followed Hibs for around 50 years I can remember the days, even when Hibs had a mediocre team, that OF teams still did not look forward to a game at Easter Road, now points in the bag before kick off.

[Joe6-2]

And DG been witness to everyone of them

[Wull]

Celtic movement has our boys looking around like clueless wee boys

[Smartie]

He’s all over the shop.

Needs to either get his focus back or sod off to Australia.

He’s been hopeless for ages.

We're not doing anything

Let’s be honest, it was a crap appointment.

I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to stop backing David Gray now that he’s in post, but he should never have been given it.
