Apologies if mentioned already but why was KT not starting?
Injured, or just thought to be not good enough? Bit gutted if the latter he's our best player imo

Thomson's still a decent SPL player but I can't see him getting many starts under Butcher, who likes his teams to play with pace. KT slows everything down.

Butcher wants the game played at a higher pace. Thomson has the tendency to slow things down a bit too often.
With TB and MM calling the shots, they'll accept nothing less than 100% commitment.
I have no doubt he'll still be a big squad player for us, but like every other player, he'll just need to knuckle down and earn his place.

He slows the game down too much for TB as he is surplus to requirements

Think we will see a few changes in the team over the next few weeks. Butcher will want a look at different players. Thomson will get his chance at some point, the midfield wasn't exactly dominant today.

Robertson and Craig didn't work today, neither have the passing range of thomson

Think it's good he was left out today. He's been poor since the celtic game and hopefully that will kick him back into action. Best player we have by a mile when he can be bothered

He doesn't fit Butchers style of play. He will get a shot in the coming weeks but expect him to be mainly be playing second fiddle to OTJ this season. I predict KT won't be here come next season.

The pace yesterday was launching the ball Wimbledon still. That's not pace and for me football is about effective passing with energy and pace.

Best player at the club. Do people think he slowed the game down too much in the fast paced, attacking Mowbray team we'd like to see again?

Yes KT is an excellent player and has the potential to be one of the best MF players in the league however no player should get a game because of past performances or reputation. He's been as bad in the last few games as he had been good in the games before.
No one is bigger than any team or club and that's been the problem at the club for years... Guys expecting to okay because they are who they are. They need to earn the right which means training hard and confirming to how the manager wants to set out the team.
My opinion mind

Saying its a worrying start is a bit embarrassing as well.

If your no happy cos he didn't play pop along to EM or ER and ask Butcher yursel. His omission from the team could be for varying reasons ones I can only speculate about.

Let's just wait and see before we start "questioning" Butcher!!!

He had his quietest game yesterday but was probably being asked to play a slightly differing role.
KT has been relatively poor in recent weeks as has the majority of the team.
I am sure he will get his chance but as I said TB is the manager and it's his job to get the team playing.
Your comments about a poor start are way off course and are wrong. I am not expecting miracles But if you are then your in for a long hard season.

Re the midfield today, what was impressive about them? Cairney was not fit and shouldn't of started, Tom done well when he came on, out of position, got down the line a few times, 2 or 3 decent and dangerous balls into the box. Except for one header, Craig was non existent. Robertson was as poor as he has been in the last month or so and Stevenson is Stevenson, hard worker that gives his all but has no real ability.
I don't think it is an embarrassing comment. I said the same at the game when we heard the team. They all agreed that it was a baffling decision not to play him. Maybe I'm being over critical on things as I didn't want Butcher but I'm trying to see the positives in other things like I said about TT above and about Collins on another thread. I'm just struggling to see the logic in not starting our most talented midfielder.

I don't need to pop along anywhere to tell him my feelings, I go to each game so can voice my concerns, if any, there, but thanks for the option, I'll keep it in mind!

I trust TB and MM and we didn't get beaten and kept a clean sheet. That'll do for starters.
St Mirren are no mugs and have win 4 of their previous 5 games.
TT has had a very poor season by his standards and Cairney was asked to play wide right. What TB did was play players in their positions (still think I would if had Lewis at LB cos McGivern has been woeful).
Think you might be expecting too much too soon.

I don't expect miracles, I'm a hibby and after 25 years going every week I know to expect the unexpected and that Hibs will always let you down. It's just the way it is. Maybe I worded the above wrong about a worrying start. I was genuinely suprised and a bit shocked to see KT not starting. It's easy to misinterperate things in words and I can see how it looks a ***** post that I said above, was trying to make a point and apologies for coming across too negative. Wasn't my intentions. Heat of the moment etc...

You are obviously some sort of Thomson ''fanboy'' who is incapable of seeing past him and you think bashing the rest of our midfield makes him seem better. Thomson is a good player no doubt but he doesn't automatically deserve to start, he hasn't been Griffiths carry the team good so far this season.
