Only one? Alloa away, QOS away, falkirk at home, dumbarton at home, QOS at home..... Folk are right to be pissed off. Hardly think it's wetting the bed. Fans who forked out for season tickets under false promises of the money being invested back into the team are pissed off and rightly so.
This is season so far has been unacceptable.

We went into a game playing 4-2-3-1 full of laddies that have so far failed to impress in the majority of games they've started, outwith our 1st eleven we have a pretty poor squad full of kids and underachievers like Heff etc.
We never added to the strike force when Alagui got injured as we were always needing another striker when Malonga came in, we needed him plus another( Griffiths or someone similar ) as it just showed yesterday how weak our 2nd string back up players are.

Think the problem is that is now 5 home draws on the trot. If we had won these games the league would look very different - so would this place

How about this? How many "poor performances" has the Hibs support had to endure at ER, lets say, over the last two seasons and this one so far?
Unbelievable that Hibs are still able to get 10,000+ these days. Those that still turn up DO support the team through thick and thin, but get slaughtered by fellow supporters if some dare voice their displeasure or frustration at another poor result.
I'll say again, there have been improvements under AS, but not enough and not quick enough. He can only work with what he has got, and clearly the first team squad hasn't got the strength in depth required to win this league - the Championship FFS.Last edited by emerald green; 16-11-2014 at 02:13 PM.

I find it funny how when we're playing well everyone's all "We're going to have blips, we're a work in progress and I can accept that"
And then after we DRAW (yes, we didn't actually lose yesterday, shock) one game after playing well for weeks this soon goes out the window and we're back to being the worst football team in the country.

Just like last season, with all the doom and gloomers that said we wouldn't finish top six and even suggested that we might go down.

Results like yesterday just drive home how far we are from being anywhere near we need and want to be. I keep hearing this is a tight league but 1 teams is miles clear and another has a comfortable grip on 2nd. If we were clear in 3rd we'd perhaps be able to say we were just unlucky to be up against Rangers and Hearts. As it is we are in a play off spot by the skin of our teeth, have won 2 home league games all season and are struggling badly against team we will likely be competing with for promotion next season.
People are worried about the situation at Hibs and how it has developed over a very long period of time and 4 or 5 weeks of improved performances isn't going to suddenly change that.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

This season above all was/is going to be one of marked inconsistency for a variety of reasons - new manager, ambitious but cutting his teeth at the top level for the first time, therefore mistakes will be made but also good progress and the introduction of really good traits and characteristics. We had a disjointed pre-season with fans disunited and a team getting disbanded and reassembled - that took time and the pre-season was a muddle.
The good results and showings have come when a settled side has emerged and the lads have got used to the system - sadly, our luck injury wise has been a real sickener and I cannot recall a season when all the vital players have been out at the one time - not only have we lost Oxley, Farid, Dylan, Jordon, Robertson and through no fault of his own Malonga - we lost Hanlon and Gray for a few games. And we are only 14 or so games into the season........that would really effect any side.
I keep saying it and it's proving correct - there will be inconsistent showings this season, some superb, some poor, some below standards expected by Stubbs.
For me it's no surprise that we do not score many when Craig plays - he slows play and plays square and safe - contrast that with Dylan and Allan and there is no contest. When that pair play there is a verve and drive and we creat, shoot, win corners, etc. Having players like Farid and Jordon out mean at set pieces we are also less potent. Malonga and Cummings were developing an understanding and Stubbs for me has to take a portion of blame for not going with two up top, perhaps giving Lewis Allan a try given we are/were a team full of confidence and unbeaten. Easier to introduce players into a confident team than a losing side in my opinion.
We didn't lose but the showing was insipid - games like that you need your experienced players centrally to take a grip........enter Liam Craig and his complete lack of ability, passion and drive. Sorry to be so scathing but again, for me, he is not a player I like seeing on the team sheet. We need two more players like Gray in the side - in the middle and up top (in the absence of Farid, who I think has captaincy traits too).
I'm not despondent at all - as long as we maintain an unbeaten run, win some games and create a gap between 3/4th and the rest, I want us to be playing well at the business end of the season as it will be the play-off's that we need to be playing well and full of confidence.

Look at the difference in player budgets,infrastructure to train,ability of the coaching staff in comparison to teams like QOS,Dumbarton...and most of our league!
We should be going into games like yesterday with more than one striker that is for sure! We seem to play like a mid table championship team most weeks!
If that's what your happy with...then so be it,but mediocrity should NEVER be accepted In my book. It's been like this for far too many years now!

I can accept inconsistency. We need to swap being good now and again, for being bad now and again.

Shows how low this club is when folk come out with comments saying oh well we are still on a unbeaten run.

Having seen Hearts twice this season, there is nothing between them and us in fact we should have won the last derby and if Craigs penalty had gone in then who knows . The difference is their mentality over ours ,they are beating every one else put in front of them whilst we struggle against the lesser teams,Why is this?

Any football team which fails to win at home as often as we do is going to get a hard time from its supporters and we are no exception. We have won 2 out of 8 at home and in this league that's not good enough.
The league is already gone and that is a disappointment when you consider its not even December. In some of our matches we have shown we can be a decent side and you could feel the positivity increase on here as a result. But its a fragile positivity and performances like yesterday are going to provoke a bad reaction.
In view of that as far as I can see its going to be up to the 7 to 9 thousand of us who are turning up on a Saturday to stick with the club and support them to a play off place. If we fail to make even the play offs then heaven help us.

Being miserable and moaning about things won't help. Football, like life, is there to be enjoyed. If the people running the club couldn't give a toss or didn't have a clue, then I would be frustrated. But I'm convinced that's not the case, so I'm going to sit back and enjoy the ride.

I'm not buying it, nobody is stupid enough to seriously mean what you are trying to say.

Some folk on here just need to think back to how we played at the back end of last season to see the difference in the team. It's difficult to see how we could have done any better yesterday with the squad we have, we were down to the bare bones yesterday as regards team selection against a team who came to sit in for a draw. It's no coincidence we have won more games away this season than at home as when we are away teams have to open up and have a go.

They won yesterday against a decent Falkirk team, away from home, without Sow - so toothless is off the mark too I think
