Hoodoo

[Hibernia Na Eir]

Hibs will never end this hoodoo.

Just not good enough. Hearts are always far more up for the derby. Can think of only around 2 or 3 times where Hearts havent turned up over the years. Hibs do it very well. Utter gash. WTF is it we dont have and they do?

Yes, we will. Sooner rather than later, IMO.

And when we do, it'll be all the sweeter.

Does not really answer why hearts are always more up for a derby, a lot of our players just don't turn up on these days. Even terrible hearts teams have beaten far better hibs teams by just giving a ****.

Today showed clearly why Hibs will not win a derby match in the near to middle future. The defence is garbage, our play in the last quarter of the park, albeit with acres of space to play in, is OK but our finishing is unbelievably bad. Hearts continue to dominate.

Don't believe in this Hoodoo nonsense. CC is in the process of improving the squad and we're getting there, slowly. Once he has, I can only see Hibs getting better, and the derby wins will come.

Agree with all of that.

How could they come away with a draw. HOW? And wtf was calderwood on subbing Palsson?!?!

Nothing to do with hoodoo's - the table doesn't lie. Just because we've got in some new players and had a minor unbeaten run against teams in the bottom half of the table doesn't give us a divine right to walk over a limited but decent enough SPL side in the form of Hearts.

We need to get realistic here. We've a terrible eighteen months -one of the worst in the club's history- and now we're transitioning in the right direction. But we are still transitioning. We still need to improve further and need more new players.

Nobody was talking about hoodoos when we were down to ten men and Gary O'Connor grabbed a late winner for us. Hearts supporters only a few weeks ago were talking about an easy victory in this fixture.

You get out of life what you put into it, and we need for talent and more savvy. However we've made great strides recently under CC and I'm sure we'll continue to improve.

Pretty bleeding obvious why !? you don't really need a defensive midfielder against 10 men, it allowed Miller to play more centrally and add a bit more creativity. Palsson is good at his job but his job isn't scoring or creating goals and that's what we needed.

I may be partly to blame for the hoodoo today, I walked under a ladder after seeing a black cat cross the road and didn't send some tear jerking e-mail to ten people within 5 minutes.

It might just be that hearts were better on the day. Given that a couple of months ago every player should have been sacked it seems we've made progress.

Please dont bother to fire up derby stats, but i really do dread to think how bad they are. As someone stated in another thread i read earlier today, we possibly have THE worst derby record on the planet. That surely has to be termed as some kind of hoodoo in anyones language?

Its not good enough.

Who is this imposter? The Bob that we all know and love just doesn't post stuff like this!!

[essexhibee]

I cant see when im ever going to see another Hibs win over hearts.

That was the best opportunity in years we've had to beating them and we still couldn't do it. And what of the so called hibs men about the team? Murray was nowhere for their goal and Derek, well i could be hear all night.

Better players. It's as simple as that. Webster and Bouzid/Zaliukus much better than anything we have or had. they pay more wages and get better players. Always have done and always will do.

That was as bad as any defeat.

[Hibs Class]

The fact they are celebrating the draw far more than we are shows the progress we've made in the last couple of months.

Who's to say Hearts wont improve even further too ???

[down the slope]

There is an old saying in racing circles which is "class will out" and that applies to football as well , we usually beat them when we have better players and at this point in time they have slightly better players in some departments than us-simple.

[Cabbage1875]

It's all to do with mentality. If we went to Tynecastle and went down to 10 men so early we would sitting saying 'how many are they going to beat us by' and they would duly give us the thumping we deserved.

I'll bet you that any Jambo in there today wouldn't be thinking the same. We're a soft touch and have been for as long as I can remember.

We should have buried them today.

[Hiber-nation]

No hoodoo. Just a shambles defensively at the 2nd goal. I'd love to know why Murray was marking Webster and why they had 2 men unmarked in the box with a man short.

Having said that Deeks should have finished it and it proves beyond doubt that we don't need him any more.

[heretoday]

Hibs played some nice stuff in the middle of the park. It's what happens at either end that's the trouble.

They do not look organised at the back and if Hearts had had say Kyle playing he would have taken advantage.

Up front Hibs need a quick thinking striker. I suggest David Villa of Barca! Someone with that sort of strength and purpose anyway.

[essexhibee]

Jambos on kickback creaming themselves claiming another 22 in a row...

Do people think that it could happen again ?

Agree with this. In derbies it is often desire effort confidence and belief that win the day, and hibs invariably are 2nd best to the yams. We lack leadership on the field. It must be riddled with inferiority complex.

Hardly. If we cant beat them when we are 2-1 up with five minutes to go, against ten men, dominating the game, hearts without a captain and missing a number of important players then when will we beat them?

Maybe it is a bit over-dramatic but you cant not say this was a great opportunity to finally get a win and we couldnt do it! Dont you think thats a bad situation to be in mate?

The all time derby stats were in the match programme today - they are even worse than i thought they were.

The reason - days like today.

Do you not remember Deeks penalty at the pbs in the not too distant past, we were supposed to get humped that day, 7-0 the yams were saying.
6 first team players out, playing with half a team at the pbs, shirley our soft team would get humped

Now what was the score that day again, i seem to have forgotten
