FT in Paisley :)

Aberdeen loose. 3rd is well and truly our to lose.

[Up-the-slope]

We are not just a good team but a good Squad .... and have a manager that know how to use it

[SteveHFC]

Full time at paisley :hyper

[Stairway 2 7]

Yas St Mirren

[Joe6-2]

You haven't, you're just Kidd ing us on.....

Didn’t we lose to Dundee Utd that day?

[crash]

Aberdeen got beat

[Paul1642]

Campbell on for Holliett. Not the move I’d have made.

For the second time today on this thread I eat my words. He played a big part in as getting a grip of the game.

Albert you have

I’d give them a guard of honour when we play them.

[Joe6-2]

Open all mics raving about SDG

[Paul1642]

Yes! Hopefully we still feel that way around 9:30pm on the 14th though 😂

[scm70nyd1973]

Sheer brilliant defending by Hibs there the shielding and prevention of movement and passing of the Utd player combined with the covering and closing off of the pass pathway to the roaming Utd player by Iredale was superb - a small moment but brilliant teamwork

[Paul1642]

FT. Well done Hibs. Cannot overstate how much I love this team.

Gayle so close at the death.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

First half was fantastic

Slow start in the 2nd but would rather give utd some credit for finally showing up

Last half hour we were in control i felt. Subs were outstanding and perfect timing

[hibeez1875]

Brilliant. Bouncebackability

[Lago]

Well done Hibs, well deserved 👍👏

[Unseen work]

Bowie is a brilliant impact sub

[OtleyHibs]

Excellent result today

A wee tip of the cap to the buddies too 😁

[Hibiza]

Fantastic result , well done everyone .💚💚💚

[Tambo]

Dundee United came out second half got an early goal then out us under a lot of pressure for 15/20 with a few moments of rash players an struggling to get a foot on the ball.

Players got through it with the lead intact, Bowie and Campbell both good subs who helped us get back up the pitch and both put in a good shift.

Two more subs then helped out with another great cross from N.Cadden and finish from Gayle.

A vital 3 points with Aberdeen dropping points.

[scm70nyd1973]

Bit of a wobble after they scored but after that it was normal service resumed like the first half - bit like the Dundee game but a bit more of a worry than when Dundee were in it - its mentality - loving it 😁

[HendoDelivered]

What a result!

[SHODAN]

Dundee United effectively taken out of contention and Aberdeen three behind again. Now in a position where we can secure third next week. Such an important day.

[Since452]

Massive result. Sheep losing too.

[YehButNoBut]

1 more win for us should secure 3rd, think we'll beat St Mirren.

[Joe6-2]

Great result with so much at stake

[Mon Dieu4]

Great result, well done Myk, thought he was our man of the match today

All we have to do is win at Parkhead. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! :greengrin

[Keith_M]

Not sure about that. His mis-kick that led to their goal kind of takes away the shine a bit.


Delighted he scored, though

[GreenCastle]

Just walking back from game - massive result. To be bounce back after last week and especially to keep calm at 2-1.

Brilliant 1st half.

2nd half Utd had to attack more and go for it but we held strong at 2-1.

Another example of having a strong bench helps - key players come on and win the game for us.

Well done players - manager and fans who supported the team well.

Myko was so much better today - glad he got his goal and battled really well. Happy for him.

Pretty much 4 points ahead ( with goal difference) with 9 to play for. Win away to St Mirren and think we finish 3rd.

[GloryGlory]

1 more win for us should secure 3rd, think we'll beat St Mirren.

We must have a chance at home against The Rangers, too.

[Paul1642]

All the damage from last week undone thanks to our own good work and a favour from our wee pals in Paisley. 2 games closer to 3rd.

If the old firm take max points from Aberdeen and United, 3rd is ours regardless of anything else.

[YehButNoBut]

We must have a chance at home against The Rangers, too.

Aberdeen got Rangers then Celtic in next 2 games then play Dundee Utd.

Draws for us against St Mirren then Rangers probably enough for 3rd.

[Paul1642]

Aberdeen got Rangers then Celtic in next 2 games the play Dundee Utd.

Draws for us against St Mirren then Rangers probably enough for 3rd.

I really hope we go into the Rangers game with 3rd secured. It’s more than possible as things stand.

[pollution]

...and the Hibs go marching on !

[J-C]

Great result and fairly cheered me up on the 900 to Glasgow.

[GreenCastle]

By the way..

Dwight Gayle .. what a guy and finisher

[Hibees1973]

As expected, another nervy day.

But a terrific set of results.

A good day and we move on.

Well done Hibs.

Maybe Celtic will but TBH Aberdeen and United must feel that The Rangers are beatable. I can see Sevco putting up a show against Celtic tomorrow, but I can't see the players being up for the remaining games after that.

[Coach Jon]

Great 3 points today which was crucial, but we have 3 very difficult games left, just have to focus on our next game.

[He's here!]

A really great result with a performance full of character.

Like, I suspect, everyone else I was nervous about today but this squad have something about them that we've not seen for a long time at ER.

[Hibees1973]

St Mirren closing in on Dundee Utd so it will be a very difficult game for us in Paisley.

[Golden Bear]

St Mirren closing in on Dundee Utd so it will be a very difficult game for us in Paisley.

I hope their pitch is in better nick than it was when we there the last time. It was an absolute tattie field then.

[hibsbollah]

We were getting torn to shreds from 45 minutes up till about 70. I thought Triantis showed a couple of real moments of class to retain possession and start attacks just by his touch, he's just so good. Crucial save by Smith at the post and a quite magnificent take from a wicked ball by Middleton. Its time our keeper started getting more credit. And the sometimes maligned O'Hora made a couple of important blocks. The subs seemed to change things, Bowie especially as things started to stick to him, and from 70 minutes in I could only see one winner.

A special mention to the East Stand who made more noise than I remember for a long time.

[GreenCastle]

United starting a striker that’s not scored all season

You know what’s happening

Yup he didn’t score again!

[Coach Jon]

St Mirren closing in on Dundee Utd so it will be a very difficult game for us in Paisley.

St. mirren are away to Dundee Utd next week, so could be out of things by the time we play them.

[tonyrougier123]

Game of subs today, thought we outfoxed them with bench players. Pole position now with us and sheep both ends of Glasgow next week. Thought big myko had a really decent game up front, him and Boyle with a similar impact that they had against Dundee defence. Campbell I thought really impacted in behind when he came in few unlucky moments kept us from free scoring today.

Agree about Smith.

He looks absolutely like he’s the real deal.

Starting next season with him as the number one shouldn’t even be in question, albeit I’d be happy having someone to challenge him.

[GloryGlory]

It's always good to have a decent back up in case of injury or suspension. Maybe it's time for Murray Johnson to step up?

Smiths been outstanding since he has come in .. a part from probably Schmeichel there isn’t a better keeper in our league .

Played very well again today.

It was when he went down injured I realised how badly i did not want to see us try to see out the game with Bursik.

[green day]

Great result, we played well.

My only gripe is that we didn't give the DABs more tickets 😂

[JohnM1875]

Kind of the perfect win eh? Mean that as in, I'm glad we got the win after coming under a decent amount of pressure second half. Showed exactly the kind of character this group has.

If United played as poorly as they did first half and we won four or five nil, whilst it would've been class, I don't think it would've showed us as much as this win did. They threw everything at us for about 10-15 minutes second half and we absolutely weathered it, stayed in front then went on to score another great goal.

I love this team.

[The Spaceman]

Massive result both here and in Paisley. Basically 4pts with *9 to go. 1 win out of the next 3 will do it. Mon the Hibs!!

[BoomtownHibees]

9 to go

[The Spaceman]

9 to go

Duh! Thanks Boomtown. Can’t wait for Europe.

[Heisenberg]

Massive win with the Aberdeen game going the way it did. All over them first half and could’ve had three or four, subs in the second half helped bring the game back under control a wee bit.

[Gatecrasher]

It felt like a cup semi final or something today. I thought we could have went in at HT with another goal or two and out of sight. Utd came back in the 2nd half, but we didn't break and Gayle's goal secured it. What a result with Aberdeen losing to St Mirren though, it definately made up for last week.

Whatever happens next week will happen though. We go there, try our best and hope to get something.

Annoying that we're away to Celtic the day before Aberdeen play Rangers. Should be at the same time.

Yeah, I get what you're saying but no chance the OF play home games on the same day.

Aye, very good point actually. Didn't think about that.

Agree about smith, I've been a critic, but his save changed then completion of the game, made such a difference

[SickBoy32]

Brilliant result and performance.

Hats off to the manager and the squad.

The Davy Gray Hibernian - quality 👊

[Glory Lurker]

Chickens in the South Stand. Anyone know where they went in the second half? Why did they leave?

Was that the Lorient contingent that got mentioned at HT?

Peut etre? But where did they go? Didn't notice at the game that they weren't there second half but noticed it on the highlights! 🤣

[Hibs Go Bragh]

It was a terrifying moment when Smith went down injured and you suddenly realised that Bursik could have been coming on!

David Gray post match …

[Trinity Hibee]

Good performance. Dominated 1st half, bit ropey start of 2nd but it evened out 2nd half. Really big result especially considering the Aberdeen score. We are nearly there, one more win should be enough

[greenlex]

They crossed the road. That’s what they do. Nobody knows why but there’s plenty theories.

Laughed at this more than I should have.

Odd they came on a probably a stag do to watch a game and see 2 goals by the mighty Hibees then leave at half time. Hope they had something much better to do !!

Seemed to be quite a few tourists there today,big group of Germans on my bus to the game, some guys from Yorkshire next to me in the East and I met a Swizz couple after the game.

[Donegal Hibby]

After the very good first half , did we fall out of it a bit meaning midfield , our press ? Or was it a case they lifted their game a bit or was it both ?

They were never going to be as bad second half as they were in the first. They changed things, got an early goal and a reaction. I think it's fine to give the opposition credit at times when they do well (not suggesting you don't by the way)

United made a double sub and came out flying second half. We eventually worked it out, got on top again and sealed the win with a great goal.

All in just a really entertaining game of football.

They left at half time. I saw them walking along past the back of the FF. Think they were a bunch of English lads on a stag do or similar. Couple had Hibs strips on top over their chicken suits...

Totally agree with this. United played some good stuff, deserved a goal for it, David Gray made changes and got the game back under control. Job done.

Their main tactic is into Dalby of course but through the midfield they had some really nice rotations

I can see why they've been in top 6 all season
