If we’re missing any of them we look poorer. If we’re missing 2 or more we look lost.
I expect us to look lost without Magennis and Boyle at the weekend.
Their record suggests they will, you really don't have anything to worry about.. do you?Quote:

Well that didn't last long.
You'd think the manager would have a bit of credit in the bank after Sunday, but apparently not

Agree a ridiculous onslaught imo.Quote:

Let's be honest, given the league form before Sunday and now the continuation of that league form with a tough run of comes coming up, Sundays result was a nice to have. As mentioned on other threads, when do we become concerned with no European Football and a reduction in Season Ticket numbers next season if this continues? It is a difficult situation, our league form must improve. Bottom six should be a sackable offence for a manager of Hibs.Quote:

What if that manager finished third the season before and won the league cup?Quote:

I’m not convinced our league position is going to be very healthy by the time we come out of December.
Then he'd get the plaudits he deserves. But he'll still be hanging in the balance as despite a commendable league finish and theoretical Cup win it's hard to take to the man and his style of football as it's borderline hoofball when under pressure, which most teams now take advantage of, and hope Boyle can come up with something.Quote:

He needs to do what he can and get us to January without further imploding as we've done well in the winter transfer window over the last few years and it may be the only way to getting us fighting at the right side end the table.
In our current predicament he will not get sacked, if the League slide continues I believe January would be the time
It’s not just next season’s sales that will be down, attendances at ER are going to fall throughout December I’d imagine. Home games are going to be pretty grim.Quote:

Fans waiting for Doidge to come back, he then gets sent off in his first game back, Boyle follows him with a stupid red card?
What chance have we got if we get players back, but can't keep our discipline?
Poor manager is getting pelters, but its the players letting him down!!!
Let's hope him winning the Semi isn't a Duffy style reprieve and he stays longer than he should if December does get ugly to our real detriment. He really does need to sort out the league form regardless of the squad, injuries, suspensions or poor transfer windows which he was in the building for. He is our manager, it is on him.Quote:

DM was emptied from Aberdeen because of the style of football. You really think he will totally change his style because he's at Hibs where a certain way of playing is more valued by the support?
When did we last play scintillating football under Jack Ross?Quote:

absolutely, the players can’t pick and choose when to perform. Sunday’s performance compared to last night isn’t down to the manager.Quote:

Oh well, at least that cheered me up after last night.
Ha. I agree: made me chuckle …very funny post…..some posters are obviously having a field day today …others are having a more balanced criticism of the league form..the post you quoted is one of the former!Quote:
