Stubbs Port Match Interview

[thebausburst]

Deluded, the end.

[oconnors_strip]

Disappointed for the players...... What about the fans?!

[Hermit Crab]

He was Talking utter pish. He said it was a good performance. 2-0 up against ten men 3 minutes of regulation time left and we draw 2-2. Disgraceful performance. If his position wasn't in question after the Alloa game it most certainly is now.

Agreed good point, the fans don't get paid to experience the let downs. Nevertheless, confident Hibs will beat Utd.

That's his problem - I don't think he's quite made the disconnect from player to manager - still wants to be the players friend. A fatal flaw in management.

[DH1875]

Unbelievable. Up there with the biggest load of kite I've ever heard.

[Hi Heid Yin]

For once I actually feel for Stubbs as even he could not have foreseen or imagined our collapse in the last few minutes. His players let him down badly tonight. They failed collectively to see the game out.

[AL-Qaholik]

He's just completely out of depth and struggling to stay afloat. He knows he's lost the fans - he's just trying desperately to cling to the dressing room.

Stubbs and LD cannot empathise with the fans as they've really no idea what supporting Hibs has been like. They're both new and unaffected by the years of disappointment, which is no bad thing. The sad thing is I thought Stubbs had actually managed to cure the club of this affliction, but turns out he's just the latest in a long line of failures who will pass through without really giving a toss.

[Thecat23]

Players defo let him down badly tonight. I can't believe they threw away a 2 goal lead to draw the game! Stubbs will be a furious with the players as we are.

Our defence really is rotten at times and we must do the basics when defending.

If he couldn't have foreseen Hibs f***ing that up tonight then that suggests he has not been paying attention.

I was surprised with the amount of fans were actually signing his name today.

I cringe every time he speaks, just wish he would do the honourable thing and walk away.

[emerald green]

Heard too many excuses too many times. Sick and tired of it. Have been for a while.

The players on the pitch have to take responsibility too. To not be able to see out a game, at home, against 10 with a two goal lead with only 3 minutes to go really is pub team stuff.

The players should be embarrassed by that. There's no f****** excuse.

Don't be. The majority of the fans back him. The "experts" don't.

He could have instructed his 11 players to keep possession against their 10, keep passing and make them chase, not sit back on the 18 yard line inviting pressure and trying to waste time (yet again) instead of imposing ourselves.

And I'm/was a Stubbs fan!

Stubbs shouldn't have to tell professional football players to do this against 10 men. The players should be capable of doing that without being told. Leadership on the park is totally lacking if they need to look to the sidelines for instructions in that situation.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I didn't think we played too badly tonight? Defending for the 2 goals was poor obviously (even though Hanlon was playing?) but we looked a lot better with a proper 442.

And it's freaking windy the night !

[djs69]

Do the deluded fans think Stubbs and co tells them to get the ball and NOT keep possession but launch it and give them possession back. We didn't play badly tonight, but God, panic stations by most of our team . They had more desire and hunger in last 15 we just wanted to get the ball as far away from goal as possible....ie like the butcher days

The two that are closest to being leaders McGinn and Bartley had been substituted

[Jones28]

The players take responsibility for that tonight. Pathetic that a 2 goal lead can't be protected against 10 men

So what? Every player in a football team has to take responsibility on the pitch, and especially the captain.

Although Bartley had been booked he would have been the last player I would have taken off at that time.

Yep. A recent poll on here even showed he had the backing.
