The Sharp End

[Hibees1973]

I watched the game today from the comfort of my own house.

A big shout to the 2700+ who attended today. We can obviously gauge the overall feeling of the support on these threads, but what was the feeling of the support who we are at the game. Particularly the way it ended.

With the way the game ended it seems to me a pivotal moment for change. Not just Gray but for those in charge.

The away support, I feel, give a better guide on what may happen next. A defeat, like the one at home two weeks ago at Motherwell, just leads to a stampede to get out of Easter Road.

What was the general feeling of the support at the sharp end today.

Anger/frustration/acceptance?

[Unseen work]

Expected I would say.

The fans were brilliant from the moment I arrived in the stadium and then we went 1-0.

They kept going and when we got the goal our performance improved for 5 minutes.

Come out second half, fans cheering and signing loudly and then we concede but luckily it’s ruled out.

It seems to give the players a kick and the fans are right behind them with us getting a goal.

As soon as the goal went in it was like we dropped and stopped playing with intensity - despite this fans stayed on board.

The two late goals seemed more of a “FFS Hibs, typical” than any real anger I thought. As a fan base we’re just used to seeing that garbage

Brutal performance, brilliant support

[Northernhibee]

The most scunnered I can ever remember after a loss.

[Nicho87]

As soon as Newell got sent off I felt we’d conceade

Just not twice

How stupid do I feel

No leaders on the park

Individual mistakes are costing gray

Miller was pony for their first goal
Campbell for the second
Bursik for the third

Gray not helping himself with cadden playing as a right winger when it failed so horribly against Motherwell.

Bringing on Campbell and Levitt at the same time when we needed a presence I think was sheer desperation. I don’t know what other subs were but Jesus were in trouble if that’s our go to.

Ellie youan situation needs addressed.

Game was made for him today at half time, no sign again. If he’s not going to come on - let’s just get a youth in their for experience.

Overall disbelief at the end. Waved the players off, club really don’t deserve the fantastic away support that we give.

[SHODAN]

Actually laughed when the winner went in. Absolutely absurd yet utterly predictable.

Takes a lot to make me genuinely angry after a Hibs game but this did it.

[Northernhibee]

I thought Miller would have caught Middleton and really surprised he never.

But he was caught out because of a poor touch from Rudi which gave the ball away

Miller was appalling today. Got an assist and would still only be lucky to get a three or four out of ten. No pace, no passing ability, no defending ability.

Was there yesterday and as soon as the equaliser for United went in the fans left in droves as though they knew what was coming
Many there did not see the winner

[pacorosssco]

There are many players that a lot of those at game yesterday are targeting. The is an undercurrent of seeth with many at the game and block 7 sit in others seats. Club need to address this. There is a worrying increase in secteraein songs and chat at the game.

[B.H.F.C]

The away end was brilliant yesterday. We have a support who are desperate for something to get behind but are being let down badly.

You can’t kid folk on that watch it every week. As soon as the red card happened, I think the majority knew what was coming next (maybe not to the extent of conceding two but it was inevitable that we’d concede one).

Everybody around me was saying the same thing regarding Gray (basically that he shouldn’t be there). Because it’s him the reaction was less toxic than it would have been under any of the previous however many.

Did notice Boyle having a proper argument with someone in the Fair Play stand at full time though.

[Nicho87]

I still genuinely believe the fans will turn rightly on the board first before gray.

He was hired by Hibs. Hibs didn’t have to appoint gray, they knew they were hiring a rookie manager who is going to and has already made mistakes.

Keep saying it, short term solutions.
