Favourites for relegation?

***Simkin911*** · 07-04-2014 08:54 PM

Hearts I would predict. Or maybe I'm too late for the prediction. However, listening to commentators you'd think we're more likely than others to be 'relegated' - ignoring even a play off. Last time I checked the league table, we're still best of the worst. I'd rather be in our position than any other in the bottom six.

Even under Fenlon we had a good finish in the bottom six last season.... Big games ahead but we're capable of improving and really can't get worse.

Blind optimism not run out yet then, we are not favourites for the playoff but on current form are the worst team in the league, I certainly expect us to take less points from the remaining games than anyone else, will that be enough to keep us up? We'll have to wait & see.

On recent form we're worst of the bunch, including Hearts. We've scored the fewest number of goals in the whole division too. It's going to be tight.

**~~SouthamptonHibs~~** · 07-04-2014 09:08 PM

I'm gonna put some money on us to go down, if it happens it will soften the blow!
We are truly awful!

1. Can't win at home
2. Can't win away from home
3. Can't score goals
4. Don't create chances
5. Confidence is low
6. Not getting any luck
7. On the wrong end of dodgy refereeing decisions
8. Defensive formation
9. Relying on youth to get us through
10. Not playing our best team Thomson is head and shoulders above Craig!

Have I missed anything?

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 07-04-2014 09:09 PM

It's hilarious how **** we actually are

If you've been watching Hibs for many years which I am sure you have then none of the above actually represents some new phenomenon. No blind optimism here but we're capable of a) improving, and b) getting a few breaks.

***Steve20*** · 07-04-2014 09:16 PM

We're the worst team of the five in the battle to avoid 11th.

We won't win again this season.

You will get very short odds now, admit I did same few weeks ago, a place in the playoff would pay for my family summer holiday, but I'd much rather it didn't happen.

**seanshow** · 07-04-2014 09:20 PM

You bet on us to get relegated

Dude we have been trying to improve since the bygone days of the mowbary era and on this evidence we still show no sign of improving. Not with this team anyway

11. Clueless diddy of a manager who is well out his depth

Agreed I was thinking more like £25 on us to finish 11th at possibly 3-1 = £75 to get pissed in the pub trying to work out how we have ended up in this position.
If we finish 10th and above then happy days it's only £25 lost

Hail Hail

Whats odds did you get a few weeks ago? I saw Bet Victor doing 8/1 tonight (best available).

It's amazing what a few months have done to our squad! The team we have is the same team that easily beat Killie, County and Hearts over Xmas and was unlucky not to get all three points v ten man St Johnstone.

agreed we wont win but if we can draw we have a chance

***lucky*** · 07-04-2014 09:29 PM

I think favourites to finished 11th but not sure even we will ****ed up against a championship side. We are the worst team in the league

Not yet, but ask me that on Sat afternoon. I'll be putting a small bet on us finishing 11th if the odds are around 3-1. Hoping it's not a winner

Please stop repeating this nonsense...we ARE imo favourites fir the play off...I've been at our last 4 matches...all heavy defeats and we r DIRE mate. All tge others are picking up points...we cant even get a shot on target ffs

If we don't find a cutting edge in the next couple of games, then we'll be hanging off the edge of the cliff by our pinky.

It not an option anymore. Butcher has to gamble now and throw a few more youngsters in there. I know it may not seem fair to lump that amount of pressure on young laddies, but any change has to be better than this. Because the morale of our main squad is completely shot. We need a few fresh minds in there to shake things up a bit, there is no other option now.

***Hibbyradge*** · 07-04-2014 09:41 PM

Hibs were 8/1 to finish 11th before tonight's game.

Now 6/1.

**emerald green** · 07-04-2014 09:42 PM

Worst team in the league without a doubt. A shambles - as a team they can't defend, no bite or guile in midfield, and toothless up front. I left long before the end cos I couldn't stand it any longer. I had posted several times that all Hibs fans should go tonight and support the team. Well, to be honest, after that they don't deserve our support. Hibs supporters have been taken for mugs for far too long, and I know of long standing supporters who are now turning their back on the club they have supported all their lives. Enough is enough. I honestly wish I hadn't renewed my season ticket now. The thought of watching that for another season just depresses me. Hibs are a laughing stock now. It's all very well laughing at the state of HOMFC(IA) but we could be joining them downstairs pretty soon. Farmer and Petrie should go, but the problem then of course is who would want to take this club on?

For me i would be playing our most experienced players in the next five games, Thompson and Jones must come into midfield and Maybury in at right back with Heffernan up front. These are not the type of games for the young players who look shellshocked by what is going on.

***green day*** · 07-04-2014 09:53 PM

Not favs according to bookies, not by a long way.

Do they usually chuck away cash?

And, yes, they do look at form......its their job

16/1, were Down to 12/1 before Derby when I put some more winnings on.

***Spike Mandela*** · 08-04-2014 04:19 AM

None of the fans of other teams will be very confident either. Every team in the bottom six have had **** seasons and their managers have been getting criticised in all quarters.

We can't seem to keep a clean sheet at the moment and have the worst goals scored but at least we have 3 home games. We are 4 points off 11th. Robertson will be welcomed back. Two weeks to lick our wounds and come out fighting.

Hearts will be up for it against us but not sure how motivated they will be against other teams. Other teams have goalsores like Boyd and Thomson we don't. St Mirren have just had a morale boosting win and others do seem to be scrapping for results. Injuries and suspensions are robbing us of vital players at a key time and confidence needs a boost.

Arse tweaking time for us but it's still in our own hands. What a crappy season.

**heretoday** · 08-04-2014 06:47 AM

Partick must be pretty terrible to lose 4-2 at home to Hearts. There is hope!

**IWasThere2016** · 08-04-2014 06:48 AM

The finale - post finishing 11th - will be a play-off defeat to RatBoy Hartley and Dundee! Add the Arabs winning the SC, and I'll need to emigrate!! ****in shambles..

They've done pretty well against us this season despite us stealing the three points undeservedly at Firhill!

They are a better team that a 4-2 defeat to a Hearts team fighting "death by relegation" in a much more determined way than our team and management are doing IMO!
