Magnificent assist for the winner.

Stokes was just pure class 2nd half

[Baw187]

Had the pleasure of being right in line with him in the west when he looked up and played that ball to Murray. Sensational ball.

[GreenCastle]

What an impact!

When he plays like that it’s a joy to watch and easily our best striker.

Looked hungry today and what a pass for the goal.

[Mibbes Aye]

Looked great today, his positioning was exemplary. Lovely little bit of showboating when he was doing keepie-uppies by the corner flag.

Yep, 100% agree. He must be a tad miffed that Murray didnt have the nous to set him up for a goal too.

Yup. Outstanding when he came on.

[givescotlandfreedom]

What a ball. If he and Murray can link up like that regularly we're onto a winner.

[gazzag70]

Stokes was fantastic, I would love to see him and Murray up front more often,especially at home. They have the makings of a great partnership!

[SirDavidsNapper]

Brilliant knowing a player of his quality is ours and not on loan. He's an exceptional footballer.

He was free at the back post at least twice if only Murray had known he was there.

[staunchhibby]

Loved stokesy keepy up on the touchline pure show boating.

[G B Young]

Superb display.

McCann seems to think he should have been sent off. Did anyone see what happened in that flare-up? Lennon seems to bring a bit of perspective:

I blame the Dundee player's poor attempt at "Heartbreak Hotel" for that one.

[SingaporeHibs]

It was a great ball in for the goal, Lennon has had a winning team so what a great problem to have. Who to drop? For me we drop Barker and have Stokes and Murray on the pitch together. Boyle doing what he does. It does change the formation though. These 3 guys can be lethal together. Onwards we go, Glad the international break comes in here, it's been a tough 2 weeks for them. I love the look of the league table.

I saw it clearly on Hibs TV and from being on the periphery he deliberately moved to get involved and it looked like a clear punch below the belt. I think he was going to get a red deservedly and was lucky that referees presumably didn't see it and went on the linesman's story of it. Dundee player made a meal to it but that in no way absolves Stokes.

[erin go bragh]

Brilliant from Stokes today . His keepy uppy at the corner flag was class .
The Legend just keeps on growing.

Stokes needs to watch his step.

It sounds like he was far from innocent on this occasion, and he's got himself involved in stuff like this on a few occasions already this season.

We can't afford to go down to 10 men in important games and we can't afford to be having players out suspended unnecessarily with the stretched squad we have.

It's fine being aggressive and showing commitment but I'd hope someone (probably not Lennon tbh) would be having a word with him to rein it in a bit.

He was immense today. Top notch. He just needs to watch the silly stuff, it's not like Beaton looked like he needed an excuse to send one of our players off today.

If he did what he is accused of will likely get done though it does appear to have been dealt with.

[Famous Fiver]

McCann's outburst reminiscent of that other Hearts roaster Houston.

Ignores all his team's fouls, assaults and aggression and picks on one innocuous incident and tries to raise it to the level of capital punishment.

Enjoy the championship next season Neil

[RG63]

Agree Stokes was fantastic but this aggression has to stop. Also not that it’s a massive deal but why does he head up tunnel at FT and not acknowledge the fans the same as the rest of the team. It can’t be good for team bonding. Maybe just making sure there’s enough hot water getting a shower first. Just wondered.

Think if it’s dealt with on the park then that’s that.

Absolutely...yet some think we are better without him in team. Just crazy the guy is sheer class

Can't be done he was shown a yellow so no further punishment can be dished out

I thought he was trying to get the ball high enough to cross it with an overhead kick.

Fortunately Stokes is a smarter player than I ever was, so he wasn't trying that.

[The Spaceman]

Looking like the player we were all hoping for his hold up play today was brilliant and he is utterly lethal cutting in from the left.

Certainly hope that is the case however they make up the rules as they go.

[Criswell]

When McGeough went off I actually questioned Lennon's decision to replace him with Stokes rather than Slivka. I thought it would leave us short in midfield. It turned out to be an inspired choice. He was in superb form.
