CC let's stop muckin about, get the players to start getting stuck in about the opposition and realise that it's the club's existence in the top league that's at stake and their wages,and let's not forget that the loyalty of the Hibernian fans has been stretched....and is almost irretreivable, if it continues. An extremely ugly win, to keep us in the cup will do me tommorow.

Don't get too ugly or all the players will be suspended and we'll have no team left.

Calderwood implied that we might win ugly on occasion, and we would have accepted that - continually losing ugly was never supposed to be on the menu, but has been constantly served up for the last year. It cannot possibly get any uglier.Last edited by Stevie Reid; 20-09-2011 at 08:37 AM.

PLay the ball on the desk its as easy as that! im not talking barca type passing and runs but when our defence have the ball maybe think about passing the ball forward and not a hoof to oconnor.
as I was explaining to my mate at work just now. when you watch us play the ball will be with hanlon/o'hanlon and they take a step or two forward, turn back and pass to stack who in turn boots it up the park.
when you watched dunfermline at the weekend the keeper passes to the right/left back takes a fe steps forward, passes to the centre mid who playes it to the wonger and lo and behold 3 or 4 passes and they are in a crossing position.
CC STOP BYPASSING THE MIDFIELD FFS
rant over.

To play quick, attacking, passing football you need at least one player who has the ability take the ball in a tight space and make things happen (i.e a playmaker) - as things are, when we shift the ball it is so slow (and the quality of pass usually so poor), that the opposition has plenty time to get their midfield and defensive banks set up before our attack has even started.
I think that the team then feels it's only chance of getting in behind the opposition is to launch it forward as soon as an opposition attack breaks down - this of course fails as we have no one who can make a telling 40/50 yard pass, nor anyone who can hold the ball up effectively.
It's dire stuff already, it can't possibly get worse in terms of football - the results couldn't get much worse, but you never know.

I would agree with the OP, any win will do. I dont care if it is the ugliest win in history as long as we get through this round. The beautiful bara football can come much later for me. More than anything I want to see us getting properly stuck in, getting bored of watching players only go in for challanges that are 60/40 in their favour, we need to start competing for everything, even when it looks like it is against us.

He began by making us tight at the back to stop us losing, then that defensive solidity took us forward as every year he would make one or two signings to add to the team, truly building a team year on year (whilst being no stranger to having to sell or best players) - by 1993 we had a team that contained Wright, Jackson, McAllister, O'Neill and McGinlay every week.
This is a completely different environment than when AM was here, but the fact that Miller had better players at his disposal than Calderwood has now is simply down the ability of the respective managers - CC has had more scope to transform the squad than any other manager since McLeish, and has made us worse than we've been under every one of them. If CC had shown AM's eye for a player and/or his ability to improve the players we have/had, we would not be in this mess right now.Last edited by Stevie Reid; 20-09-2011 at 03:33 PM.
