Why did Allan play if he was looking tired in training all week? Surely that’s the bigger question if Hecky is using that as the excuse for why he was taken off.
I’d have preferred to have him near the end to impact the match from the middle rather than run about aimlessly on the wing. Use him as a sub.
Hecky got it wrong. He needs to realise that Mallon needs to play development football for a while as well, keeps getting games when he is rubbish and doesn’t defend.

Allan was one of the best players on the park - left after 60 mins with one assist and should have had two after putting it on a plate for Doidge (who fluffed his chance).

Allan looked as shocked as the rest of us when he realised it was him being subbed. I also don’t think if he was genuinely carrying an injury he’d have been moved out to play wide right, a position that requires more discipline and tracking of the runner. If he was really struggling, keep him playing in the middle of a three man midfield and the other two midfielders could cover him.

Im a huge Allan fan but yesterday he was poor, certainly for his standards.
He never got an assist yesterday, Mallan and Middleton did.

There’s not one hibs fan who eras the team at 1:30 and saw Scott Allan wide right. The man is a clown.

The anxiousness in the stands spread from what people were seeing on the park. Up to the point when we scored the atmosphere was a bit flat but largely supportive. At that point we were playing OK, far from exciting but fine. Then we started to sit back, stopped pressing and allowed St Johnstone to get a foothold in the game and go on to control possession for long spells. What set of fans wouldn't get anxious in such a situation? We were defending a slender lead and playing poorly.
I'm not buying this 'he's blaming the fans' chat but I do think he needs to ask himself why the fans got nervous and what role both the team and himself played in that happening.

We also should have scored when Doidge nicked it off the defender and squared it to Kamberi.

If he didn’t start it also would have been assumed he was injured.

I actually think Doidge was fine yesterday though. Won a lot of flick ons and does a good amount of running, closing down and finds himself in good attaching positions.

Heckingbottom said that Allan hadn’t trained much after finishing 120 minutes against Morton, iirc. I don’t know where the injury bit comes from.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

The talk of anxiousness in the stands is interesting. I didn’t feel anxious. At 2-1 I was sitting fed up. The fact it went to 2-2 didn’t make me feel a great deal different to be honest.
Normally I’d be gutted if we threw away a couple of points as late on as that. My enthusiasm for it has disappeared with what we’ve been watching lately. It’s not enjoyable and I don’t look forward to going like I have since 2014.

Maybe down to a lack of composure in his part.
Thought Doidge done fine and will come good imo. He’s missed a fair share of decent chances so far this season 2/3 against St Mirren and again yesterday, as you say though he is getting in good positions.

We’ve had 33 shots on target against us in our last 4 games, which includes St Mirren and Morton. Except from Scott Allan there isn’t a player who I think ‘oh I’m looking forward to seeing them play today’. The days of Ambrose, McGinn, McGeough and Stokes are sadly missed.

Because I like them as much as I do I find it tough to see them struggle. They're good players, they just need a bit of help to get us back to being able to enjoy watching them play again.
The way we are playing is making good players like poor players.

The anxiousness from stands led to what then happend on the pitch which made players anxious and thus that anxiousness caused a goal?
Is this right or wrong? Also why were people anxious at 2-1?

I was board watching Hibs on Saturday. I felt there was very little atmosphere and thought that the boo’s were the loudest I’ve heard in a very long time.
If we moved the singing section back to the East would this lift the atmosphere and ultimately the players confidence? Make no mistake it’s taken us a long time to get the fans back in their numbers and the way things are going there will be a few leaving soon watching performances like Saturday’s.

We started the 2nd half very badly, had the enforced injury change then he used up his last 2 subs on 62 minutes in an attempt to stem the tide. We were being over-run in midfield and Scott Allan was a bit lost on the right.
I don't think the changes he made were the right ones but he was trying to shore it up a bit and make it a bit harder to play through us. It didn't work and the pattern of play before the changes was exactly the same as after them.
By then he'd made all his subs and whether he saw the goal coming or not, I don't know what more he could have done with his subs made.
Put it this way though - everyone in the ground saw the goal coming so I'd be amazed if he didn't.
