.... is why we are not further ahead and more comfortable. Im not going to suggest we had or have any right to win this league but IMO we should win it and with the facilities and budgets to hand it should be more decisive.
I blame Keatings, Holt, Shinnie, Graham and Boyle also.
Holt 4 goals : Disgraceful in this league.
Keatings 6 goals : Disgraceful in this league.
Graham 4/5 goals: Disgraceful in tbis league.
Pathetic amount of assists also. Aye great when they have a good game but its not often enough. Do mot want to hear about Holt giving the defence a hard time, get scoring the lot if ye.
If you can't do it here then wtf you going to do if promoted. Shocking goal tally guys absolutely shocking.

They had two shots on goal in 90 minutes. I lost count of ours.
Something in what both of you say.

Graham has scored 4 league goals in 600 minutes plus what he had today. He has failed to score once in the 3 games he has played 90 minutes in. I would have brought him on to take the penalty today just like I would have brought JC on at Utd for that pen. That is not hindsight either.
Holt has scored 3 league goals in the 1633 minutes and has 3 assists. One of those was a pen I think. He has played more league football than any of our other strikers including Jason. To be fair Jason's suspension is the reason that stat has now came about and that is not Holt's fault. Can't help but like him in some ways but he has not been a success in my eyes.
Keatings has 1 goal and 4 assists in 861 minutes. That is very poor but he has played lots of those minutes further away from goals than he would like. Mind you after today I'm not sure that would have made much of a difference.
Jason has scored 16 goals and 3 assists in slightly less game time than Holt - 1630 minutes. That is more than one positive goal scoring involvement per game and more goals than the other strikers put together. Same amount of assists as Holt too. Amazing to think how much stick he gets on this board.
Graham may not be the answer but he has looked very lively in his last few brief appearances. I have no idea why he hasn't been more involved as Holt's return for both scoring and creating has been very poor. If we continue to play Holt up front then I suggest we will continue to get very few goals and assists from him. He will bump into a few defenders and moan at the refs but the defenders will not be in the least bit concerned with this even if our fans love it for some reason.

We need goals all throughout the team. All good teams do it. Defenders chipping in with set piece goals. A couple of midfielders getting to or near double figures.
We have Jason.

Mcginn
Shinnie
Fyvie
Bartley
The glass man dylan
Boyle
That's the reason we don't score enough. They hardly ever chip in or create. Boyle has done ok at times and is second top scorer i believe but he should be testing defences with his pace more.
We're far too static and plodding.

Think it's time go abit more direct win the flicks/ knockdowns and shot quicker, teams know our play inside out pass pass pass to slow must a dream to defend against. Let's just mix it up a bit

Shots on target - Hibs 8 Dumbaron 2
Yet again an opposition team score with all their shots on target, something that has a habit of happening against us.

McGinn has scored the same amount of goals and after today he will have twice as many assists as Holt in a couple more games worth of time on the pitch. He should do more and has not been as good as last year but not sure how he is to blame more than our strikers, excepting Jason. You don't get an assist when the strikers miss and outwith Jason and Graham none of them are very good finishers. Holt must have had 20 very good chances this year and apart from his 3 goals I can hardly remember him making the goalie make a good save. Keatings today with a volley straight at the Keeper and a penalty miss. Yes the midfielders should help out more but Lennon continues to not play Graham when everyone outwith Jason can't hit a barn door.

It has been our inability to turn our dominance into goals which is costing us dear. We simply don't score enough. Even today we had to rely on an own goal and a dreadful error by their goalkeeper to rescue a point.

Cummings is the only forward in this squad that should be getting promoted with us. McGinn needs to score more, Boyle has done alright to be fair. Other than that, the rest of the team need to take a long hard look at themselves in an attacking sense, and that includes the defenders who don't make nearly enough use of the amount of corners we have. McGregor, Hanlon, Fontaine and Grey win headers all day in open play but when it comes to corners they don't come close to scoring. I'm not going to include Ambrose in that yet seeing as he's only just here.

Graham is not as good a footballer as Holt in terms of holding the ball up and passing but I firmly believe he would have 10-15 goals already if he'd played more games. He's more mobile and quicker than Holt and that's vital in this *****y league.

it was only 4 or 5 games back that we were flying pretty high and also had a +16 GD, now down to +9 better than falkirk

I'm not his biggest fan but feel a bit sorry for Graham
..think he deserves more starts and he would chip in with way more goals than Holt.

It's not the final 3rd but the quality of ball into that final 3rd that's the problem. We have 2 decent playmakers in the team, players who can see a pass and create for the strikers, Shinnie blows hot and cold and Dylan is injury prone. I think we seen what can happen when we have a player like Commons in the team, a players who can make things happen, a player with guile and creativity.
I'll also state again, our tempo and speed of passing is ponderous and allows teams to get behind the ball and organise their 10 man defence, I was sick to the back teeth watching our players passing along the back 4 or sideways along the midfield.
This wa also a game where Bartley was not needed, he sat infront of the 2 CH's and had nothing to do for long periods, total waste of a player today, nothing against the big man but he offers very little apart from breaking play up.
