If you don’t have a midfield you don’t win games

Why Ross persists with a central 2 I’ll never know

We started with 3 in centre mid...

Mallan worst ever? DeGraff, Vine, Watson, Wiss right off the top of my head

Simply not getting the service from very lacklustre distributors of the ball behind him in midfield.

We're too slow to get him the ball in areas where he can be dangerous.

Agreed.
Unfortunately I don't have the answers as to how we do it but we have to find a way to get him more of the ball.
In Boyle and Murphy we have 2 very dangerous wide players but unfortunately don't seem to be getting the dividends from them I feel we should be at the moment.

I thought he did, especially first half

We were more open when he went off. But is that not a gamble worth taking as we definitely created better chances too

I’d say no considering it almost lost us the game?

Fair enough if he’d made that sub going into the last ten minutes but he made it far too early.

We lost the goal because we were so open then we were then chasing for the equaliser after that

It's getting worse. It used to be the close season that was unbearable on here but we're hitting an all time low of late.

Agree

That is St Johnstone unbeaten in 9.

Your saying that as if it's a good result.

The day we are happy with a draw at home to St Johnstone is the day we pack it in

People would have had breakdowns during Alex Miller's decade in charge if social media was around then.

We are seriously lacking a creative spark and a bit of pace. Boyle aside there’s not 1 bit of pace in the team. On the subject of Boyle he should be dropped for a couple of games to get himself together and back at it.

We lost the goal cause of a slack pass in our own half, a minute after Murphy missed the chance. I may be wrong but can’t think of a chance they created between Gogic going off and their goal.

Every single ball?

Ok, I’ll re-phrase. The majority.

We do not work hard enough to win the ball back when we’ve not got it. We look unfit, although I’m sure we’re not.

Coincides with the football getting worse. Funny that.

On some mental exponential curve maybe.

How did Mallan manage to stay on for the 90mins?

That's got to be up there with one of the worst 90mins a player has ever produced in green and white.

Attention seeking nonsense.

It’s hard to disagree...can’t think of a positive contribution from him.

We need back into stadiums ASAP, apathy is starting to set in...

If you want to play pedantics what I actually said was that Mallan should be nowhere near our side.

Him winning an award years ago does not change that one bit. I don't understand what your point is?

Do you think Mallan is good enough for us to push on as a club beyond finishing mid table?

Oops sorry, I'm confusing you with andymac.

To answer your question, I think he does have his place at Hibs, but I'm not surprised he didn't look great when Gogic was subbed.

Mallan & Newell isn't an ideal pairing in conditions like tonight against a side we always struggle against.

[Kaff]

I could listen to Stubbs and Lennon talking in interviews and it excited me about what we would be watching in the next game but Heckingbottom and Jack just don't do it.
Jack is miles ahead of Heck but there's something just too safe about him and worryingly he'd probably want us to be like Aberdeen where we're solid in 3rd but no exciting Old Firm wins or cavalier play to lift things, even when we have a decent result like against Celtic it was pretty insipid over the 90 mins and ultimately our lack of bravado and swagger lost us the full 3pts, they were poor and being passive let them get their tempo up and cost us in the end.
If this season is a step towards being a more dynamic team built on solid foundations then fair enough I'm patient and will back him but the worry is how we're not seeing the best of our flair players while we're actually in a good league position. I know Scott Allan unavailable and quite probably under par this season for same reason but it has never looked like he can get him or Boyler playing to their optimum.
Probably doesn't sound like it but definitely backing JR for now but to keep building he has to lose some of the shackles, Aberdeen have been steady but their low crowds have to be looked at as a concern for the club if there's no swagger attached to it.
Fingers crossed for an upturn in next handful of games, could be a key period in season

[flash]

Bit disappointing in the end but a fair result. I can't get too worked up about fitba these days with everything that's going on in the real world.
These games are just glorified practice matches without supporters and I appreciate the efforts being made to give us something to watch even if it isn't always the 1960 European Cup final.
Think the manager deserves at least the next two transfer windows to build his team then it's probably time to judge the end result.
It's nowhere near the worst football we have ever seen and none of these players are anywhere near the worst we have seen either.
Hopefully Scott Allan will return at some point and McGennis will get match fit and give us something different.
Unfashionable as it may be am looking forward to Saturday now.

He was pish poor tonight. Right at the death we had played some decent stuff pinned them back, when it reached Boyle he put in a harmless cross straight into the arms of their keeper. Needs rested. Not the only pish poor performance unfortunately though.

Would love to know his pass success rate tonight. Less than 30%?

Set pieces awful, horrendous defensively, terrible going forward and making Liam Craig look like Kevin De Bruyne.

How slow is he? He must a stone overweight.

You’re right. Just made a thread about this.

Being 3rd at this point is a good return in the grand scheme of things but I can’t help but feel a bit meh about it all

We were poor tonight but St J are on a decent run of form and sevens very well as a team.

McGinn showing the forward players how its done

THIS in spades!

Two great finishes - one move started by himself and slipped deftly in off the post followed by a great take down and ferocious shot. If Newel, Nisbet and Murphy had shown the same composure earlier on the game would have been in the bag.

Disappointing to have dropped two points but you've got to give credit to St Johnstone for playing good football and giving us a game as much as decrying our own players for not being more ruthless.

you think we are a good team , I just can’t see it we are boring and to many bang average players. Okay we might finish 4th which will be decent but it’s a poor league.

We've got loads of good attacking players and score regularly, defence half decent and the best goalie we've had since Leighton. Midfield is probably the area that needs most improvement but I don't think we're too far off. I understand people's disappointment when we don't win a game we're expected to but we always need to keep a sense of perspective.

Gave up and turned it off.

75 minutes of the usual turgid, pedestrian football that Hibs are now synonymous with under Ross.

We are absolutely rotten to watch.

Spot on mate switched off too at 2 1. Poor stuff. We are a mid table team and lucky to get a draw tonight. We are no better than Well Killie and St J.
Ross ain’t much better than Hecky unfortunately.

[Phil MaGlass]

Im not lovingnthe fitba on show either, but, if we can get top four and a place in Europe next year, bring it oan,
Someone will be on here in a minute to say, I said we will be lucky to finish 4th this year

Yet we're above all of these teams in the league suggesting we're better than them.
