Hibs v Dundee

[Up-the-slope]

How things have changed - debate over who has been MOM rather who has been the most Tom Kite :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

A Hibs manager making subs that make sense to everyone watching. It'll never catch on😂

[Centre Hawf]

Why mako is starting over Bowie is a mystery .

It's working though as a team selction from Gray. Bowie might still be struggling to do more than a half at full intensity. Myko is doing a job when out there, just the goals haven't come for him sadly.

See the thing Gray does is keep it simple. People in their correct position not like Monty or Johnson trying to fill in round holes with square pegs, a bit like what Critchely’s trying to do over the road.

Pretty sure Bowie will start the next game.

[Smartie]

Well set up by Miller there, man of the match for me today.

Decent shout.

He’s been superb and an important assist.

[cabbageandribs1875]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssss gayle

[Pretty Boy]

No real shout for it but from the free kick the defender had Miller in a choke hold when he was trying to challenge for the ball. He claimed for it but no one else did.

Irrelevant now as Gayle makes it 3.

[SHODAN]

That'll be that. What a finish

[Lendo]

3-0 Gayle

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Quality of Gayle. One glimpse of the net and one goal.

[silverhibee]

We want 4

3-0 Gayle

[Up-the-slope]

currently 11 goals better off than United..... that is worth another point in the shake down

[Paul1642]

This team 💚

and that'll make up for that 4-1 at Dens :)

Hibs are class. Loving this

Yass

[Unseen work]

Brilliant play and goal

Delighted for Gayle, good finish and never in doubt

[OtleyHibs]

Another smashing finish

3 points Hibs, business as usual these days 😁

[Stuart93]

Win our games against Aberdeen and Dundee utd in the split and that’ll see us 3rd i reckon

[OtleyHibs]

Nicky Cadden back, great to see

[ChicoM1875]

currently 11 goals better off than United..... that is worth another point in the shake down

I have no idea how they have picked up so many points

[Lago]

Another great team goal

[HH81]

Great finish Gayle

[Ryan91]

3-0 and cruising

[Unseen work]

Nicky on at right wing back is an interesting one

Thought it would be a straight swap for Obita

[makaveli1875]

I have no idea how they have picked up so many points

They have Dalby banging goals in regularly

Just looking for the post split 'computer' to at least give us a fair crack and there will be potentially some cracking away days abroad in the late summer:cb

[ChicoM1875]

Fair point. They don't look great any time I've seen them though

[1875M]

Brilliant Hibs. +3 as well for the GD, Cadden back as well.

[cabbageandribs1875]

F it! We want 7 :greengrin


no time



took us 23 mins of the second half to get the 2nd goal :grr:

[Lago]

Hibs goal difference looking really healthy.

[Up-the-slope]

8 decade record incoming - barely believable in any season let alone thinking back to start of this one

[Smartie]

See the thing Gray does is keep it simple. People in their correct position not like Monty or Johnson trying to fill in round holes with square pegs, a bit like what Critchely’s trying to do over the road.

And just like that, we get Nicky Cadden at RWB.

[scm70nyd1973]

Fair point. They don't look great any time I've seen them though

Major goal scorer makes a fechin garbage team look great - I give you Shankland

[HoboHarry]

I have no idea how they have picked up so many points

Not sure they have really, they are close because both us and Aberdeen had terrible runs that cost us both a wad of points, they'd be miles behind without that.

[SHODAN]

Amazingly we haven't yet won a game by 4 this season.

[The Modfather]

Bar a ropey 20 minutes after half time we’ve played well today. Performances are getting better as this run continues.

[cabbageandribs1875]

we have four :flag::flag: nice bowie diving header

[Stuart93]

And just like that, we get Nicky Cadden at RWB.

Get gray out. He doesn’t know what he’s doing

[SHODAN]

That didn't take Cadden long lol

[Pretty Boy]

What a cross and a header equally as good. A great goal.

[Up-the-slope]

[OtleyHibs]

That's just lovely stuff

Great ball, great header, record breaking Hibees

Bowie is showing himself to be everything we hope he is.

This Hibs team is indeed, a joy to watch.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

We should add the Dundee players to the crowd total as they are standing back and admiring.

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Unseen work]

Nicky Caddens left foot is a disgrace

Outstanding cross

What a finish from Bowie too

[ChicoM1875]

Welcome back Nicky

[Pretty Boy]

Dundee still trying to rush things forward is wild. Take the 4 and go home, they keep attacking we could quite easily hit 5 or 6.

[silverhibee]

We defo want 5 now. :flag::thumbsup:

[makaveli1875]

Yasss Bowie, 2 goals and an assist in 15 minutes ain't a bad return

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Great team performance to a man.
defence solid
Rocky please stay!
Cadden’s cross
Gayles class
Safe hand Smith
Within a baws hair for Myko
Levitts and Hoiletts class
Bowies’s impact is he our new talisman?
Iredale stoking performance again.
Subs that make a difference
Miller is an absolute competitor.

what a team. A team not a collection of individuals.

[The Modfather]

Cadden doing what he does and a great header. We look a different team when Myko isn’t up front.

[HH81]

Bowie again. So so good.

Huge result. It effectively puts us 4 points to the good if you factor in the GD.

[NC1875]

Kieron Bowie is a baller. Night and day with Kukharevych.

What a player. And what a ball from Nicky Cadden 👏🏼

[cabbageandribs1875]

i'd like us to finish with a penalty


Bowie of course would take it

[silverhibee]

[Centre Hawf]

Mind when we lost 4-1 to this lot?

The difference between the two sides from then to now is mental. They weren't exactly flying when we played them but they were a shout for top 6 at that point. They look horrendous at the back and while normally a good attacking threat they've been controlled all day today.

Then there's us...

Rocky has been very good but Lewis Miller was MOTM by a mile today. Arguably his best ever game for us.

[Since452]

Rediculously important we get Rocky on a new contract

[21.05.2016]

Gayle and Hoillett both class acts! Would love if we could tempt them into 1 more year

[NC1875]

Was just about to post this. No diving about nonsense, just a solid performance.

Get a new contract sorted.

[silverhibee]

A complete performance. Best I've seen in a long, long time.

Clean sheet for goalie and defence, midfield been excellent and goal scorers have done the damage, good bonuses for the lads today.

Lovely goals from both Bowie and Gayle!

Welcome back Nicky Cadden!

Another 3 points in the bag and the unbeaten run goes on in the league.

First half was fantastic play.

Second half we were a bit slack for 10-15 minutes and then picked up again

Some brilliant goals today

Selection headache of the good kind for Gray with N Cadden back to fitness (and putting in a very good performance from the bench).

You would think Bowie starts after a 2 week rest, but who drops out for Cadden?

[Green-Hibee-7]

Absolutely brilliant today. Quite a bit pressure today and played class.

[lugz]

Excellent again, 2nd half became a show with 3 fantastic goals.

[hfc-1875]

Josh mulligan a decent player for them out of contract in the summer would be having a look at him

My motm, Miller, outstanding as was Bowie(future Scotland player), this team was absolutely outstanding today same as the support.Need to keep Rocky and Triantis.Qualification for Europe might just do that?

[He's here!]

Terrific result! Really, really impressive to win so decisively when there was unquestionably a bit of pressure on.

Taking a three-point lead into the split is huge.

Agreed. That position is made for him. He has also built up a good understanding with Chris Cadden and its great that we have two outside centre halves who are totally at ease rampaging forward - when the opportunity’s there.

[Keith_M]

Well I enjoyed that.

It's amazing to have subs like Bowie and Gayle to bring on late in the game and have such an impact.

Very clever signing by Hibs … we hear moans all the time here about wasted money and players signed that aren’t good enough … this signing was genius. A snip too at that price. He’ll get even better, and he himself knows that too.

[tamig]

Cadden doing what he does and a great header. We look a different team when Myko isn’t up front.

Myko did well today and I felt for him that he didn’t score. He’s played really well over the past few games. We could have been out of sight at ht and not down to Myko that we weren’t.

[Hibees1973]

Enjoyed that.

Nice wee gap on those behind us with a goal difference they won't get near to.

Well done all at Hibs.

Keep it going to the end of the season.

No prizes for that. You got laughed at for wanting a team to win the Cup that would not have been in Hibs best interests.

He was good today I thought. You could argue Bowie should maybe get in for his 2 goals but you could also say don't change winning team. I think Bowie coming off the bench worked really well today.

[Trinity Hibee]

My feeling is that if we beat both Utd and the Dandies after the split we'll be third.

[Onion]

One of the most enjoyable ER games in a long time, with lots of pressure and expectation. And Hibs delivered in style. Rare days indeed.

How good is Iredale ? What a signing he's been.

Bowie is a killer and will make us a ton of money someday.

Completely agree with all of that. And a shout out for SDG too … he has our players looking up with the ball at feet, and other players moving into space to give them options. Sounds simple I always think, but hard to execute. So good to be a Hibbie at the moment !

Loving being a Hibee just now. Winning is a glorious habit.

[matty_f]

Brilliant from Hibs today, that game was massive - with United winning and Aberdeen dropping points, all the pressure was on us to deliver today, and the players stepped up superbly.

Aside from the four very good goals, we almost scored a few others that would have been very good goals as well.

Rocky marshalled the defence superbly and I thought Iredale and Miller on either side of him put in brilliant performances.

Triantis and Levitt strolled it, Chris Cadden was superb, and while they didn’t get the rewards, Boyle and Myko certainly put a shift in.

What an impact the subs had, though! Brilliant.

I’m buzzing after that. I’ve got the podcast to do at 8pm and I can’t wait to talk about what this team have done.

David Gray had a good day. A very good day.

Could be argued that the team picked itself but he resisted any temptation to mess with a winning team.

Then I thought the subs were the right ones at the right times. The first ones came when we were getting a bit tired and had started to look slightly vulnerable having not got a second goal. Those subs re-energised the team and the we got the second goal almost immediately.

All the subs contributed strongly.

The work rate of this team also really impresses me. We had a wee chuckle at Barry Ferguson’s anger last weekend but we showed outstanding graft today and desire to win the game. The players deserve most credit for this but so does Gray.

[B.H.F.C]

Went under the radar a bit, IMO, but our performance levels have really improved in the last few weeks. We had a spell where we were digging results out, but we’ve played a lot more football in the last few games, coinciding with Levitt and Hoilett coming back in.

Opposition was poor today but we were superb, with and without the ball.

[gazzag70]

The cheek to cheek smile on my face is hurting now.Record breaking runs, good performances from good players, a manager that is increasing his status as a legend on a weekly basis. Add in an unbeaten season against the puddle drinkers,It’s a good time to be a Hibby:-)

I think we’re making opposition look poor right now.

Dundee had some handy players, players I’ve seen give Celtic and Rangers a tough time. We managed to keep dangerous players relatively quiet, prevented them from getting anything when they had their better spells in the game and then got what we needed and then some at the other end.

I thought the same against St Johnstone - we made them look poor.

This is an excellent Hibs team.

[truehibernian]

One thing that typified this squad - last minutes, Dundee hit post and rebounds. Last season our defenders would have been ball watching, this season we have the likes of Iredale (yet again a top performance) who is alert and ready to get there first and get that clean sheet. And celebrates it like a goal.

Not trying to take away from us, as I say I thought we were superb. They are a poor side though, the number of goals they lose is the real sign of a poor side for me. I just thought that we were too powerful for them, on and off the ball. Physically, we look as strong as I’ve seen a Hibs team look in a very long time.

[JJP]

I thought today might have been our best performance of the season. Could easily have been 3 - 0 up in the first half. I would have given Miller man of the match but there were plenty of contenders.

[Tambo]

Four great goals today, Rockys goal was a clever strike to start using off.

Lovely finish from Gayle and two great goals from Bowie to put away two great assists.

What a spirit there is in this team…goalie has made one mistake in the game when he put Iredale in trouble. Iredale did well to get across Murray, but his team mates helped him out and closed Murray down as well by quickly covering the potential danger.

Great to see Hibs, keep it up.

[Victor]

I think today proves that we are a good TEAM. Everyone plays for everyone else. When mistakes are made, they are quickly rectified. There were a number of contenders for MOTM (personally I would have gone for Miller). All round a very confident performance and great result.

[Real Emerald]

That performance today was absolutely outstanding, we had almost the same players that could hardly string two passes together back in November, it’s unbelievable. I didn’t want SDG to get the job because of his inexperience but this is quite astonishing. It’s a long time since I was at Easter Road watching football like that.

The football has been excellent all season - the first quarter results didn't reflect the good performances.

The football - the passing / moving / finishing / calmness…I could go on.

It’s incredible how good we have become and I just love this team.

Great characters - players who don’t get bullied - look stronger - fitter and generally better footballers than anyone they come up against.

The goals today were unreal - fans were great and I seriously encourage anyone who hasn’t been to Easter Road for a while to get to a a game soon and support the boys.

The team fully deserve all credit they are getting.

This is exactly what a Hibs team should play like and I really hope this continues for many a year to come.

This is exactly what a Hibs team should play like and I really hope this continues for many a year to come.

I was thinking this at the game today. We are really exciting when we break and can do it out of nothing. As well-balanced a team I’ve seen since the Mowbray era. Although the midfield of SJM, Scott Allan and Dylan McG was something else too mind you.

Took my 4 year old to his first match today, what a day he had! The team managed to keep him engaged throughout and he even spotted a helicopter floating above the stadium, that was his day made! That and the scoreline , perfect!

Brilliant that. My son .. who is 17 .. and came to Kilmarnock with me .. and doesn’t like football. Apparently .. well..

He said to me sitting watching Hibs today that he really enjoyed it .. and then said I might have at long last convinced him .. I said, you’re a Hibbee now lad .. he just laughed and nodded, and said “it took you 17 years to, like” … 😂


What a great day. Thanks Hibs.

[Coco Bryce]

We were fantastic today. The football on show was fast flowing and exciting. Every goal had excellent build up play.
We are unstoppable!

[Squealing pig]

Definitely put on a show after dons bottled it , it’s in our hands but all 3 have hit form

[Donegal Hibby]

Team is looking good in fairness with good options on the bench . I think it’s telling and a credit to Gray and his staff that near all the players have played well probably averaging 7/8 and even 9 out of 10 performances. What a turnaround since the Aberdeen game ! .

Love this! Another Hibee to add to the apparently growing list.

It was great to see almost 18000 there today on a Sunday with the game on TV.

Easter Road will be bouncing for our two home games post split.

I know it’s been done to death… but I was quite taken aback at quite how many empty seats there were in a supposedly sold out East (I was in the West today).

Surely there can’t be that many supporters who have season tickets but won’t turn up to a big game like that to watch a team playing so well on a lovely day?

Just doesn’t make sense to me.

Still - great to see that number of people paying to watch a Hibs team.

[JimBHibees]

Josh mulligan a decent player for them out of contract in the summer would be having a look at him

Agree decent strong running midfielder

It's Easter school holidays, I know a fair few people who are abroad at the moment.

Some people would just be getting back from holidays that will be one factor and it’s regularly been reported on here that at any game there will be up to 1 thousand season ticket holders that can’t attend for one reason or another
But I was also in the west and it was obvious but even around me there were around 8 empty seats

[Ronniekirk]

Best performance of the season for me in terms of dominating most of the game and creating chances Some great passages of interplay particularly for three second half goals
Only slight gripe we could of scored more in the first half
But great feeling to be there in person to watch record being equalled

We must be one of the inform teams in Europe just now, who’s going to check. :thumbsup:

Currently 5th in Europe (last 6 games) just behind Barca

[NAE NOOKIE]

That was as enjoyable a 90 odd minutes as I've had at ER in a long time :thumbsup:

I won't pick a MOM because everybody was at least a 7. We played with pace and intent going forward and hunted the ball down when we lost it ..... a fantastic team performance in all areas of the pitch.

I still don't think Dundee are that bad a team, they simply couldn't live with us and I doubt any team bar Celtic would have looked much better against that performance today.

I was so chuffed for Bowie, he has looked a wee bit off it in his last few appearances, but wow did he show what he can bring to the table today, two great finishes and an assist. It's scary to think what this lad could become when fully fit with a full pre season under his belt, if he can make the most of what looks like undoubted ability he is going to blow this clubs transfer fee record out of the water at some point.

If Hibs want folk to buy season tickets .... that's the way to get them to do it :top marks

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Currently 65th best team on the planet, over the last 15 games. Way ahead of Barcelona in 93rd and the only team from Scotland too.

I watched Motherwell v them and did not think much of Miller at all.

[Wilson]

I thought Hoilett was good. I'd have had him in.

[JohnM1875]

I think he’s a player, but there’s no way anyone from the ‘well - hearts game should be in team of the week. Was a brutal game of football

I guess you can't have Celtic win at a canter and not give them a nod. For me it was very much a weekend about the performances of hibs and the achievement of St Mirren. Motherwell were poor.

They haven't really. Our current form is head and shoulders ahead of the other two...

I watched it tae, thought he played alright. Wouldn't have expected him to pop up in team of the week though.

Hearts just fouled him constantly I think.

Looking at that, it’s unbelievable how much things have turned round defensively. Only 3 goals lost in 6 games. In the last few games, I can hardly remember Smith even making a save. The team are working so hard in front of him just now. There was one yesterday where they went to break away and 3 Hibs players were after the boy with the ball, won it back and we ended up nearly scoring.

[easty]

Just checked the optastats on it. Miller was fouled 6 times against Hearts. Most fouled player in the league over the weekend.

Second most - Slattery. Also against Hearts 😂

This was commented on Sportscene by Richard Foster (I think) he was talking about that exact move, where 3 Hibs players hounded the Dundee player, and Cadden came away with it.

Fantastic team spirit and fight in that dressing room just now.

Watched the post-match interviews from the managers , not once did Docherty say we played well . It was all about how poor , timid they were. :rolleyes:

There was all sorts of talk on the highlights show about how rocky ‘was left unmarked’ :dunno:
There was a defender virtually in his shirt. It was just a neat improvised volley that Rocky should get credit for. Sometimes i think pundits always want to blame a defensive mistake because they think it makes them be Alan Hansen.

It was a finish a striker would have been proud of and one most would have been bullied off the ball by the defender. It was the equal of the other excellent finishes from Bowie and Gayle imo

I noted the same on Sportscene. The focus was more on how poor Dundee were as opposed to how good we were. Their was a decent amount of praise about how we played, but still too much focus on the Dundee errors.

I posted on another thread about the Premier Sports post match discussion and it was much more positive (that word again :greengrin) about how we played.

Apparently if you concede more than you score it goes down as something called a “loss” and you don’t get any points. Sounds weird to me tbh. Don’t know why teams would want that, surprised there’s not more teams that have taken our approach and just decided not to lose.

[B.H.F.C]

It was a really good finish from Rocky. I got what they were saying about the marking on Sportscene though, the boy was standing on the wrong side of him and didn’t actually do anything. Could see yesterday why Dundee have lost the most goals in the league but our finishing was clinical, as good as it’s been this season.

Just thought Docherty was ungracious in he makes it out to be a case of them not being at it and gifting us goals which I don’t think it was , we were good yesterday , very good ! And he could have at least acknowledged that fact…

[nickwhibs]

Not too bothered generally about receiving praise but I do feel sportscene often focuses too much on the negatives (not just for Hibs). We need to talk the game up here, not overly so but focus on the good football that is played.

[Hibs Go Bragh]

Ahh I was thinking it was maybe for red cards but this losing theory sounds a bit rubbish.

If what you're saying is true then that would mean you wouldn't win any derbies for example? Or you would run the risk of finishing in the lower end of the table, lets call it the bottom 6 for arguments sake?

Nah you're winding me up!
