Williams - 7 - Done everything required
Stevenson - 9.5 - Superb
McPake - 7 - dealt with Concalves, but his passing was ropey at times
Hanlon - 8 - Solid
Mcgivern - 8 - defended well and got up and down the wing well
Claros - 10 - Outstanding would love to see him sign permanently
Taiwo - 7.5 - Neat and tidy. Broke up play well
Cairney - 7 - decent. Looked dangerous, but was knackered after an hour
Done - 7.5 - gave us a different option, but came inside to help when needed. Won the penalty
Robertson - 7.5 - much better than last week
Griffiths - 8.5 - drifted in and out of the game due to being the lone striker, but his effort after taking on 2 players was superb, he had a good free kick, and cool as you like for the penalty. Chased stuff down all day too.

Weird. Alasdair Lamont on the BBC report says the game was 'dripping in mediocrity'. Folk at the game on here say we played well and the 451 worked well and we had no poor performers.

Just went and read the BBC report. I actually said to my dad at half time that it was quite an enjoyable game. We played well for most of the game. We set up in 4-5-1, worked hard and played some good football at times.

And if you think the BBC report on our performance was bad, read this in the scotsman

Were the hibs fans at the game today deluded, or do the media just not give us credit? Or maybe the hacks involved werent watching the game?

The stats after the 1st half suggested that we had 1shot on target and 1off...st mirren had 4 shots off target. It did sound like nothing much was happening too.....I will check out the papers tomorrow.

Can't be bothered doing everyone but i wan't to give a special mention for Stevenson. Thought he was sublime in a position he has never played in till monday, especially considering he got a (soft) booking earlier on i thought he was careful enough to not get booked without standing off his man. Even tried to get forward when possible but suffered the weaker foot curse. Can't believe some still dont rate him.

Think it is all relative. Certainly wasn't the greatest game or performance ever, but compared to recent performances it was so much better ('night and day' - see that thread..). They tried to keep the ball down, at times passed it quite well, and even stretched the opposition on both wings. Also ran about like headless chickens (aka 'played the pressing game') when they didn't have possession - and did it really well. So, yes, all relative.
The downside? St. Mirren better play a lot better than that in the bleedin' league cup final....Last edited by davidw; 17-02-2013 at 08:39 AM.

However today's SP gives the game a one star rating and summarises the match as follows:-
"Leigh Griffiths' dribble and shot in the first half was the only moment of real quality in a poor match"
So the message seems to be that we should enjoy the moment but It's not time get the bunting out yet.

The journo's comments on the games are made in isolation. The fans comments on the games are made in the context of what we have previously seen, including last Monday. In respect of that, the newspapers are for football fans in general and the web sites are for followers of the team.
As for Alasdair Lamont, when he is on the tele, he always looks like he has just smelled something that is on the turn,

I'm not expecting him to rave about the game like it was a classic but there were clearly positives that came from the game so why not focus on them rather than the negatives??!!

Overall I thought the game was actually pretty good and I enjoyed watching it. We kept the ball on the deck and passed it about rather than knocking it long all the time to Griffiths. Granted there were a few long balls pumped forward but a majority of the game was played stroking the ball about and creating chances in that way rather than a punt forward and hope for the best.

I am actually sitting stunned at the moment reading these reports.
Hibs passed ball superbly well, midfield worked hard, Griffiths ran his socks off. We had a few efforts.
Don't believe everything you read it papers, get along for yourself and support the boys starting on Sunday!

I looked at the stats on the BBC and it showed we dominated possession. Something we have not done an awful lot of this season. I am really pleased with this as its not often we make then opposition chase us around for long periods. I like watching us playing neat, tidy football. We might not have created all awful lot but we seemed to control the game and sounded relatively comfortable

Can it be the case that a team plays well but it's a rubbish game? Let's face it if both defences play poorly it can lead to lot's of chances and goals and an exciting game. If defences and midfield play well it could lead to a stale boring match.
If our supporters are saying the team played well enough perhaps it could still be a poor game for the neutral/journo.

hope he keeps the same eleven for the united game. The biggest problem with Hibs over the past 5 years or so is we've never had any stability or continuity in the squad. The revolving managerial door and the current trend of giving guys short term deals doesn't help but find something that works and stick to it.
