Obviously disappointed, though not surprised, yet again, by today's result. However, I actually feel slightly more optimistic (albeit not hugely), about us staying up, than I was before the game.
Average as we were, I thought Hibs showed much more fight and a bit more imagination and control than they have in quite a few weeks and probably merited a draw. We were ultimately undone again by our poor defending. Thomson, Harris, Stanton, Craig and Cummings all played relatively well. I expected worse TBH. IF they carry that over into the next three games, we could avoid the play-off. If not, we're finishing 11th, IMO.
My main regret, however, is still not putting £100 on Hibs finishing 11th at 12/1 just prior to the previous Hearts game...

Definite signs of improvement which gives a boost for the next game which we should win. We dominated play for most of the game today and played some ok football. It wasn't great, but vastly better than the last few weeks. Just need another good turn out next week as I think one win will see us safe.

Thought the play in the middle of the park was good. It's just the defence and attack that kept letting us down like they have time and time again this season. This defence is probably one of the worst in scottish football and we have a striker upfront who can't finish to save himself. Going to need a massive win in a massive game at ross county on Tuesday.

Barring the 2 goals we lost our overall game looked better than of late. Wouldn't be upset to see the same starting line up against Partick.

If you don't count the shambolic goals we lose most weeks then we play ok, to suggest we play ok apart from the goals we concede is hilarious. We have a terrible defence and out striker can't score from point blank range.
We play ok otherwise so that's a big positive.....

Our only glimmer is if they take points off Killie, even then we would probably **** it up!

Who else have we got right now for the back four ? Watmore did ok but really no more than the players who started.

Glimmer of hope based on THAT performance?
We had a tiny bit more heart by way of tackles today but that alone doesn't fill me with hope or faith in this team.
We still lack any defensive qualities, the midfield look like strangers together and look unable to create/score chances.
Kev Thomson was good today, Cummings did ok. The other 9 were poor again. How that translates to being better is beyond me.

McPake is fitter than Robertson (trained more and played for U20's) so there is no way he wouldn't be able to play?
Watmore made a big difference in the way we played and helped get hearts more on the back foot and free up space in the midfield

No glimmer of hope! Sorry!
I will never see any positives in a defeat from them.

today was much better
Robertson even tho not match fit put a shift in
they had 3 chances two from set piece which they scored Goal keepers fault twice no one on the posts school boy stuff
Hibs moved the ball quickly and had most of the possession in the game.
down side for me Management team showing no signs of encouragement or passion. encourage when some neat passes where made NO encourage when a lose pass went wrong NO. At 2 0 down nothing from the dug out to try to sort out any issues FFS Malpas and Butcher are two of the best defenders in the country, The way they stood with hands in pockets we could put a bus stop at the dug out THIS HURTS ME they should show the passion we all have. Keep possession FFS Goal keeper Punts when a simple pass out to a full back centre half Hoofs it McGivern hoofs it. at two nil down the management should have change the set up give young Cummings some help. go and win the game Mr Butcher change things during the game make the opposition things to think about. Even keeping two men up when the opposition have a corner.
I like the midfield off Thomson Robertson and Craig I think we need to build round these guys Young Jordan still learning now nearly our top scorer Stanton again young full of promise. we have some good players. We need to support Butcher and Co give them the players they want then we can judge them.
But all in all it was better today yes a defeat again i wanted a performance i wanted passion I got that today so onto next week :) at least we have something to play for Hearts don't they are relegated

This was a game against a gimps side who are the worst gimps team in my memory. I'd ****in hope we did look a bit better than normal when playing such a poor side as them.
Yet once again we lost the game, no glimmer of hope for me. This lot are in another relegation battle and could go down. How ****in sad does that sound?

I saw enough today to convince me that we will avoid this play off.
If you weren't there, the fans were applauding the team off at the end. That spoke volumes.

It's not ideal and not where we want to be right now but nobody can deny the improvement shown from previous performances in the league. Surely.

Play like we did today, get a wee break, and a decent ref and there's no way we will go down.

Let me get this right, today was an improvement on previous games, but we still lost and we hardly created any goal scoring chances. Clutching at straws if you ask me.

What good are signs of improvement if they don't result in what we need, goals. All the fight in the world isn't going to score you a goal.
