Will be a different team come St Midden game
We will then have a consolidated team by Christmas when we will add a couple of players to fill any perceived weaknesess
Be Happy
I sincerely hope that after stating the players "downed tools" at the end of last season he isn't telling them to go easy at the start of this one. That would be disappointing.Quote:

We need these new boys to show up today
That is what you just read.
Happy to help & hope we get back to winning ways today.

I get that it is early days but at our level, compared to the teams we're playing, we have to be ready to go. Certainly we have to be ready to give a reaction to a somewhat negative previous result.
It isn't going to define our season so it isn't big in those terms. It just feels like a good game for us to show something - as the poster was saying.
Here is hoping.
I think Killie will be poor this season, think they will drop out the top 6 and Motherwell will finish in the top 6, think they have signed quite well so far.
It will click today and we will win very comfortably.Quote:

I suspect the closest it would come to that is him being not upset after they game if they had eased off in the second half having established a 3 goal cushion in the first.
Not having a pop at you or anyone else for that matter but it worries me that these LC games would be taken lightly or as an exercise in gaining match fitness either by fans, manager or players.
a) it's a trophy we can win b) it's momentum - we don't get anything for thumping teams in this 6-0 but it puts confidence throughout the team.
A slow start and downing tools at the end are not the way to challenge for top 4 and Europe.
Like you, I have been a Hibs fan for over 50 years and at no time in that period did I see steady progression and don't expect to.Quote:

That's the nature of the game in Scotland.
The possible exception being Aberdeen of late but they have won nothing, bottle out at every final hurdle and I would rather stick knitting needles in my eyes than watch them week in week out.
IMO you are having a pop for having a pop's sake and trying to justify doing so after the event.
Come back to me after the first round of SPL fixtures and let's see where we are.
Right now everything is worthless speculation.
Maybe there will be some superstars waiting to bud or more likely the sum of the whole will be greater than its individual components.
I seriously doubt folk questioning what we done so far in the market is going to cause any sort of revision in our plans for the rest of the window.

Unfortunately I wont be there today, one of about 5 home games I will have missed in 20 years or more, but I'm hoping we will put in a cohesive and dominating performance with signs that we are on the way to clicking as a team.
If we lose today we'll almost certainly be out. If we then went on to win our last two matches, 8 points would be unlikely to be enough if we finish 2nd so we would need to somehow try and top the group in order to qualify and with 8 points we would be pushing it.Quote:

Although I can’t see it, does anyone think that we might be in for Stevie May?
I bloody hope not, he’s garbage.Quote:
