One of the most toxic atmospheres i can remember at Easter Road. Even worse than the dark days of Lennon. The players confidence looks shot with all the booing. Really really sad. Im sure a bit of real support would have got us over the line today. I'm off this for a while before the inevitable abuse us directed my way.

I think some folk support SA more than Hibs. Not saying I agree with where he was played or the shape but booooing as you said is mental imo

It's totally pointless behaviour and absolutely not for me.
However I think fans just want to see evidence of a plan and evidence of players caring. On the 2nd point I think fans often mistake lack of ability for lack of effort and I just think we can't play the way we were told we would be playing. We just look devoid of any coherent plan. Allan was garbage today but I think the booing was as much aimed at the bizarre decision to play him where we did as it was at the sub itself.
I go to games to support, not boo my team. I wish it was just a tiny minority but that was a sizeable number today. When that starts then it never, ever ends well for a manager. He's on borrowed time.

Agree - it stemmed from a player who was garbage all game and offered no defensive cover, during a period we were getting over run
Good player Allan is, hes not bullet proof - changes were designed to take back some grip in midfield
I posted in match thread that the balance is wrong in midfield - I actually think our biggest problem is Vela not being up to speed and totally knackered by 60 odd minutes, allied to the folk alongside him being inept defensively
Anyway - Heckinbottom will likely be gone in a few months....even if he turns things round there will always be a decent section of the support waiting to wail at the first sign of trouble

We booed our own substitution and cheered one of theirs. Mental, whatever way you look at it.

Midfield that Hecky has assembled is mince . Apart from his shots Mallan is a passenger. You'll find it difficult to find two subs that have come on and played worse than Horgan and Slivka. Allan and Doidge being taken off deserved the boos. This only ends with Hecky turning it around or him walking, he seems inept tbh.

Anyhoos, werent folk booing due to the poor subs, rather than the team itself?
Playing SA out of position doesnae help the cause??

There’s always a tipping point, and unfortunately for Heckingbottom his Hibs career looks like it will run consistently close to that.

Disgusting stuff. Hope the booers don't come back. Football might be back to calderwood days but support certainly is. Away games will be better like they were then, when people actually turn up to support the tea.

Hecky is done if that’s the reception he’s getting for a relatively innocuous change.

The support are reacting to the negative, eye bleeding pish.
Heckingbottom deserves stick, but some senior players are a joke at the moment.

Yeah players bottled it and it wasn’t helped by the fans who should be trying to give the players confidence, not take it from them.

The stats dont lie,46%hibs 54%saints.hibs 9 shots saints 18.
Grimm.
No high press,no energy infact.
Cant remember for a long time a side like saints dominating us at easter road.
Even the most postive folk must agree needs a huge turnaround!!

So glad i didnt renew my season ticket this year. Just recently retired and not sure i can afford a £50 round trip each game on top of a season ticket Joined Hibs Tv for audio and quite a lot of our games end up on tv . Not missing the negativity of a 2 hour plus drive home and at least i can drown my sorrows with a tea time drink !
