Hibs v Raith

Is it just me who thinks Campbell doesn't look all that much different from usual? There's always the chance he will pop up with a goal and tbf it's something we don't get that often from midfield but beyond that this is about par for the course really.

Too much been made of the run of fixtures. It’s no fitness issues, it’s just too many pish players.

We don't have the players capable of dominating games, Jeggo and Campbell can't, Levitt is goosed for a few months, Newell can at least put his foot on the ball, Henderson runs around like a wee laddie lost and JDH has taken over as our perma injured player from Magennis.

I see no structure in our play, there's zero press that we were promised, I see absolutely zero build up play from the back as the players stand around like statues, so when the defensive players look up all there is for them is a lump into the spaces for Youan and Boyle. It's as poor as any of Maloney's games

LJ doing his best to shed the streaky tag this season.

I think a performance like this was pretty obvious going by the last couple of weeks. Sooner we are out of europe the better IMO

Extra time and pens on the day if required

He got the name Streaky Lee for a reason.

Brutal so far today.

What’s the point then? So we can concentrate on the league to get a European place and wish ourselves out of it again?

He's sitting too deep beside Jeggo and there's a huge gap between them and the forward line.

If we had more folk paying full price for their tickets then we could maybe afford better players

Not playing a settled side in a settled way us the biggest contribution to this up and down nonsense. I expect better with the resource and talent we have. Until Johnson is gone it’s not going to change. I’m not buying this two games a week *****. They’re professional athletes at the start of a season FFS.

After spending near £2m why should we expect to be patient again? The team should be getting results. There’s no excuses anymore

---

The last 2 summers were a shambles and that’s why we’re here.

I’d argue that this summer has been more like what was needed at that time ie smaller number of definite starters.

It also seems apparent that there has been good reasons n why the youngsters (Melkersen, Delferriere, Megwa) haven’t been used more, as they’re short of what is necessary.

Campbell off at the half. Replaced by Newell

Agree with all the above. Hearts have just had tough games in Europe with two more to come, yet seem capable of routinely dispatching lower table opponents without all this fraught fuss.

Yet still can’t turn it on against a championship side?

Just continuous excuses for me. We’ve been absolutely rotten domestically so far this season.

Kinda glad my hibs tv stream is ****ed today.

The performance sounds horrific.

GALF has some hairline likes

Stop being so impatient. It’s only been 3 transfer windows. All will be good after the 7th or 8th one.

I don’t think 2 games in a week should be a huge ask but the problem is our depth of squad. We’ve got injured players, players carrying knocks, new signings who are adapting and a much lauded youth set up that provides players who aren’t up to playing first team football.

Fit players who have played the full pre season will be fine to play twice a week - you can’t expect crocks, semi crocks and folk what haven’t played for us much or at all to play twice a week.

Good header by hanlon cleared off the line.

Better 3 minutes than the past 45.

Starting to get very tedious being told 2 poor transfer windows are the reason for us playing poorly against a championship side

Looking a bit better now with Newall on.

We simply have to go through here

We really need to get the first goal

Thats the one!

Anyone got a link for radio coverage? Mines has disappeared and been replaced by the Celtic game.

Youan you greedy *******, pick the passing option ffs, so wasteful at times.

Its coming….

Chances at both ends there

They’ve hit the post

Very lucky there, Megwa sleeping and the post saves our faces.

Raith unlucky then we should be scoring.

I wish Aldo, I wish

Boyles got to be finishing that

Game's came to life all of a sudden.

Dabrowski the keeper not deemed good enough with a good save.

Boyle has to score there. It's a good save but there was no conviction in what he did

Unfortunately they ***** over the city showing us how it should be done

And then plays a great ball to Boyle.


Guessing Hanlon is going to get the first goal.

Yay

Finally.

Finally.

We’re now showing us how it should be done

That’s better ffs

Sleepy Elie!

Yaaaas

what a team ;)

Youan scores

1-0

Elly Yoohan to the rescue.

Much better this half.

Yass

That was coming to be fair

Thank goodness!

1-0 for the good guys. :flag:

Youan, decent goal.

The close season is also next to non-existent these days so players would really have to go some to return to training hopelessly unfit. Even match sharpness shouldn't take weeks to achieve. I can't buy into this two games a week is too demanding claim by Beale, Naismith and LJ.

Good purposeful play from Doidge there to win a corner

Couldn't manage another expense this month so a rare visit to matchday thread.

It's exactly what I thought it would be featuring who I thought. Trigger fingers on the johnson out thread in case they score 😄

Getting through is all that matters today then enormous game on Wed.

Sounds like we have been poor and still only a draw. A good second half wins it. Mon the Hibs!!

EDIT - There you go!

we want two
we want two

Yass :flag:

Clean sheet wins it

Stevenson and Miller on

Joe Newell again proving why he is our best player by a distance. Different team since he came on.

Newell's going to have to play every minute of the season I think. That midfield is absolutely ***** without him. We desperately need better than we currently have in there

Why do 4th officials still check the studs of subs, what do they expect to see, nails, tacks?

Another superb run by Newell. Just a shame ALF has the pass bounce off him

Making sure the cleats arent ragged

If the Joe Newell we have now was playing for a side in England, we wouldn’t be able to afford him.

He seems to have added an extra dimension to his game this season, he's taking on more players and going for a run more, it's great to see

Ewan Henderson coming on i think

I’d be looking to extend his stay beyond 2025 asap.

Just get the job done Hibs, doesn't need to be pretty.

1-1

That came from a slack pass from Newell

****ing Jeggo.

Weaker than a Skol shandy.

Jeggo really poor there.

Oh dear

Pain.

wan-wan oh well

Lewis Stevenson's kids just popped down the stairs there before that goal, at least they didn't see it!

Jeggo poor there and then Stevenson a bit weak in the tackle

Jeggo at fault ..

FFS what the hell is wrong with this team?!!
