Rather than just another Heckingbottom personal abuse thread can anyone put their finger on why pretty experienced defenders and midfielders can't see out a game?
Baffling how many times it has happened now. Really poor form and relegation type of surrenders.

Why can the team not hold on to a winning position?

Quite simple.... No leaders on the field. Hanlon is NEVER captain material, doesn’t inspire those around him.

Not enough character in the team; not enough players taking responsibility. We seem bereft of leadership and direction.

If we'd held onto all of our winning positions this season we'd be clear in third right now, and one point off the top of the table.

It'sbecause we have a team with no leaders, and a team full to the brim with poor players. We also have a lot of players who appear to not give a **** about us.
For me a lot of it boils down to us just having poor players compared to recent seasons.

Always sounds cliched and simplistic to say 'game management' but it's very true - Aberdeen are the past masters at it out of 'the rest' in the league. A niggly foul here and there, playing the width of the pitch, playing into corners, etc...........the kind of football we don't like to witness however it's effective in times in a game where you want to kill the game, waste time, or indeed ease pressure.
Hibs invite pressure by playing deep, not closing down, and allowing freedom in areas of the pitch where opposition players can 'hit a worldy' or get it into the box.
We need to learn, and quickly - but it was a criticism under Stubbs and Lennon too to be fair.

We don't put pressure on other midfields and allow them to pick their passes like a traing game.

As a team, Hibs are mentally weak and fragile, and totally lacking in spirit and confidence. They are soft. There is no leadership either on or off the pitch either. It's a recipe for disaster.
I wonder what guys like Roy Keane, for example, would make of most of the players currently wearing the famous Hibs jersey? I've got a pretty good idea.

Ryan Porteous is a leader in the making, but lacks the experience to command respect from more seasoned players, but apart from him, there is absolutely no one you could truly call a leader in the rest of our squad. We are quite simply a "soft" side in every sense of the word.

We are woeful at the moment, dreadful recruitment has weakened the existing players who have served the club well over recent seasons and dragged them down. Personally i cannot see any shape to the team, any structure to the team and the players look lost. We are pedestrian in possession and the man on the ball rarely has offensive options.
It is eye bleeding to watch.
just my tuppence worth...

Honestly can't believe the word midfield has only appeared once in this thread.

Allan and Mallan in the same midfield doesn’t work. Vela and Newell largely invisible. Hanlon and Stevenson back to their weak *****bag form. Kamberi too busy trying to flick the ball here and there instead of playing proper passes.
We are a mess. LD, George Craig and Heckingbottom all responsible. One away already, hopefully the other two follow soon.

... because opposition managers have the cheek to change their game plan and we can’t cope. We defend very narrow and don’t cope with the ball out wide. When defending we have no breakout plan. We defend corners with everyone back. We have no effective defensive midfielder. When the ball goes up the pitch the one player we have there doesn’t hold it up well enough. Stalwarts of recent seasons are out or not playing well. Management team don’t know how to get the best out of the squad. Management team don’t know how to manage games in this league (and are showing no signs of learning). Strikers full of FIFA flicks but no composure in the box. Fans who have had enough. Opposition teams that know that we have gone soft
And the reality that everyone knows that the management team will be sacked but club have their corporate heads in the sand
