Not a feeling I often get with hibs.
I’m honestly unsure if it’s because we’re not able to attend the games or if it’s just the way we’ve been playing but I find myself quite bored actually watching us.
Like I said I’m not sure if it’s cause we’re constricted to watching it on tv or if it’s the dull & slow tempo we seem to be playing with.

Tonight wasn’t great, it seemed a very flat performance and that’s despite 4 goals in the game and Hibs coming from behind twice.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I’d usually watch the English games on a Sunday as well but I’ve really not been fussed for them. Really is nout without fans.

I actually thought it was an entertaining game, both teams having a go, plenty of chances at each end, some nice play and passing. I feel we need to win these games if we want to finish third and its disappointing from that perspective.

We are horrible to watch and I completely agree with you about being bored by it.
It's not an isolated performance either, this is now synonymous with Hibs under Jack Ross.

I’m sure people will be along soon to point out stats that would say we’re not boring but I’m the same as you.
3rd in the league so everything says we shouldn’t be complaining but it does just feel a bit **** just now.
I know this won’t be popular and I know it’s ridiculous but I’m not sure I’ve forgiven this side for the semi final loss yet. It’s not a conscious decision I’ve made to be like this, I’ve just lost interest in Hibs games since that match.

But lately I’ve felt that way x10 and it’s funny that it’s only really towards the football I’ve been like that.

Had I been at the game after a couple of pints I probably would have quite enjoyed that albeit been disappointed with the result.
As it was I had the sound down and was more invested in the Bake Off final. Football on a screen without fans is boring. Hibs style at times isn't helping but it's not the main reason I'm bored of it. Football in general has bored me for years but Hibs have been the exception to that; without the physical connection watching Hibs bores me as well now.

We carried an element of luck early in the season that we’re not getting now. Even if you think of the reverse fixture in Perth, they had a perfectly good goal ruled out and we got a last minute penalty. I’m not saying that we were just lucky, we were obviously doing some things well.
Not going is probably contributing to my lack of enjoyment but, the odd game aside, I’ve alway felt we play a bit within ourselves, without enough urgency and intensity. And, sadly, still without a midfield most of the time.

Whilst league position wise we shouldn't be complaining I honestly find it difficult to sit and watch us just now. Must have spent big chunks of tonight just fannying about on my phone rather than watching the game. It's just dull as anything.
Whether not being there is a big factor in that I've no idea, but I didn't find us this boring to watch in games on TV before. The style of football just now is just absolutely chronic imo. Doesn't help that our most exciting players in Boyle and Allan have been either absolutely useless or missing completely all season. Also doesn't help having the least mobile midfield I think we could have compiled. Just feels like there's no energy, excitement or flair about this team and best case scenario is they'll just grind out some results.
Also, losing the semi final and then the rotten run we've been on since hasn't helped one bit. Even what should have been a good result against Celtic we somehow managed to make feel like a defeat.

It was a similar argument Sunderland fans had with Ross, they were solid enough but lacked penetration and set his team up to be stuffy and a bit boring to watch. I posted the stats from season 18-19 at Sunderland and they had 19 draws, only scoring 80 goals in 46 games with 47 against, that's less than 2 goals a game and 1 goal against per game, very tight stats. Lots of 1-1 and 2-2 draws.

Heckingbottom made a terrific start results wise and did well to get us in the top 6 but all it took was one really placid display against Celtic in the cup and a lot of people just gave up on him.
I’m not so sure it’s just down to fans not being in the ground, don’t think he’s really captured the imagination of the Hibs fans so far, despite a more than decent return points wise. The result against Hearts won’t have helped either, there’ll be a lot of folk that won’t ever be able to look last that.

Were in a good place to kick on though, Ross must see where the problems lie and rectify.

I'm not enjoying watching Hibs at the moment and its not all down to the nightmare of having to watch on TV.
I'm not sure how much the boring aspect is down to the manager. I've said this a million times on here but we simply don't have enough players that are really comfortable on the ball so we just can't keep it. And if we can't keep it I'd rather we were boring and scrappy than plain crap. Still not good enough though.

His signings have been generally pretty good, so maybe we'll see the best of JR after the summer?

Bake off final when Hibs are on the box. At the wind up shirley.
I wasn't in the slightest bit bored, I just wanted to see my beloved Hibs grab a winner. Never tire of it watching us, win lose or draw.

Regarding the problems, the biggest on is still down to personnel in the middle of the park for me. We’ve obviously not really had a chance to see if Magennis is the one to help with that, but then again he started him on the left wing in the semi final. We’re still short of options in the squad and there is only one way to rectify that.

We would be miles ahead at the top if it was touches of the ball from central defenders

Personnel wise we’ve got Boyle, Murphy, Nisbet, Newell, Magennis and possibly Allan that can be considered quite exciting attacking players so I’m not sure the problems the fans are seeing are easily addressed with a good transfer window.
I think to get the fans on board we need start seeing more high energy football, can’t remember what that daftie that got hearts relegated called it but when it works well that’s what I think the Hibs fans crave. Yes, I’m aware of the irony of asking for a style of football that saw Hearts relegated last season while the manager who took over us at the same time has had significantly more success.

I honestly thought that was utter garbage tonight, the lack of intensity, the dreadful passing, the kamikaze defending, the missing midfield - it was all dismal.
It's becoming all too familiar now and I don't have faith in Ross to change his play it safe attitude.
