Best coach we could attract? Come off it. The best coach hibs can attract should have more than enough about him to ensure his team doesn’t get beat in a Scottish cup final against st johnstone.Quote:

Mind when Hearts fans were getting all excited at Stendel and his gegenpressing. They were loving it even whilst they were losing every week (and ended up relegated). I doubt Maloney will be thinking tonight was great and that it was exactly what he wants so I'm happy to back him and trust he'll be working with the players to improve us going forward.
I'd much rather Maloney's way getting us decent results along the way until he's got us playing the way he wants compared to Stendel's relegation achieving methods.
Am sure the I told you so post is written already, ready to plaster up here if Maloney doesn't succeed in his game planQuote:

Aye that’s true. The 9 games without a win were much more tellingQuote:

It’s very early days but I don’t believe this sideways passing up the park from box to box will work at our level.
Notice the Motherwell commentator said tonight that they were doing that when Alexander arrived but binned it fairly quickly.
Forget Jack Ross and let's concentrate what's in front of us now.
People say his style of football is 'boring' but let's try looking at the bigger picture and playing the long game. It's not working well just now because we are missing some creativity and it's an unsettled team. Try imagining it when we do have the missing pieces...that spark in midfield that leads to opening other teams up.
With Maloney and his style you can at least see the potential and visualise a bright future. Not so with other, less cultured styles.
Will we fill in the blanks though? Surely that's the priority.
I agree we look utterly toothless, although the shape we are playing doesn't help.Quote:

I imagine we need to move a good few on before we are signing any more. Hopefully we can do that as we really need to get in someone with a bit of pace.
It was more than a one off game.Quote:

How's that for starters? I'm sure I don't need to list the rest.
Your spelling is certainly disastrous.Quote:

Best ignored in my opinion.Quote:

Ha ha. It's very safe though.Quote:

Don’t get me wrong - I’m happy to give it time and be patient. I hope SM is able to be adaptable though.Quote:

Your not even giving him time, give it a rest eh.Quote:

That said, we’ve got nowhere near the quality in the final third we need to pull it off.
The fact he is still using Drey Wright and Josh Campbell is worrying. He needs to make the right noises about giving every one a chance but if he actually believes that and it wasn’t just media sound bites then that’s worrying. Both those players are absolutely miles and miles away from where we want to be.
We didn’t and we showed we won’t hang about either. The owner will punt him if he doesn’t live up to the promises about the style of play and getting the fans back.Quote:

Mueller could prove to be one of them but I thought he was poor tonight.
Our midfield three are awful though to be fair.Quote:

You should have followed Jack Ross Jesus seems you support him more than Hibs.Quote:

While watching it, i didn't think Newall was quite as bad as some were making out,and the weather really did cause issues with regards to the quality of play (on both sides)
That said, my attention wandered elsewhere a lot more than usual, I even looked at .net a few times!
Maybe that's where Shaun should've started looking, where the real football experts reside ;-)Quote:
