Agree with most that the football isn't great but to me not being there and also the lack of fans in terms of atmosphere and also making the players perform has completely killed football as a spectacle.

All you have done is focus on negatives.

I don’t get the Sunderland comparison regards draws either. It’s not like we were set out to defend and he even took off our only real defensive midfielder and put on a striker. JR isn’t on the pitch defending poorly or indeed missing chances up top either.

Not so sure it's boring, definitely frustrating. The amount of misplaced passes when we are in great positions is really annoying. I do think fans encouraging the players going forward would be a huge boost.

I am not sure I would have described that as boring, extraordinarily poor maybe.
That was a game in which IMO Hibs were individually and collectively terrible with very very few bright spots.
I am sure the conditions played a significant part but St J handled them far better.
They never gave Hibs a moment on the ball and were IMO the better and more dangerous team
As far as I am concerned that was definitely a point gained.
Team deserve credit for sticking in on a really bad night at office and getting a result.
Lack of depth in squad is killing us

IMO the negatives outweigh the positives, that's why we've just stumbled to a draw at home to St Johnstone.
It's been this way for a while with me.

Lots of adjectives could be used to describe recent performances, but "boring" most certainly isn't one of them. And certainly anyone using that word didn't live through the Berti Auld or early Alex Miller eras..
There's obviously an element of general crapness with the lack of fans and atmosphere, but that's a different issue.
Also I get the sense there is a small group of people on here desperate to have a go at Jack Ross at any opportunity. And it's really not an attitude I understand. I genuinely think history will judge us as very lucky to have had him. Even looking back to just over a year ago, the difference in quality of squad and overall performances compared to when Heckingbottom was in charge is night and day.

Fair enough, maybe you need to stop watching for a while if you are not willing to see any good at all in the team.
I'm not disputing we are inconsistent and have problems to address btw. But we are not garbage.

I dont find watching us boring, I always look forward to watching us play even if watching on tv isnt the same. However I do think we're seriously missing a bit of dynamism in the midfield. Hopefully Magennis can add that.

What is it folk are expecting Magennis to add to this team btw? When he signed everyone was talking about him being all action, a bit like McGinn etc (I’m aware he was never going to be as good of course) yet when he’s played he hasn’t really looked like what we’re missing imo. We badly need legs in that midfield. Newell, Gogic and Mallan are about the least mobile midfield trio I can think of.

I also want Jack Ross to be successful, but I'm not alone in finding his brand of football thus far boring and uninspiring, a bit like his own demeanour if truth be told.
I hope he proves me wrong, but I genuinely don't think his style is suited to managing Hibs.
Time will tell if I'm right or wrong on that.

Let's be honest if we were living through the Alex Miller era again people would be on here insisting we weren't boring. They would point to O'Neil, Jackson, McCallister, McGinlay and later Harper as proof of that and point out a draw at home to a stuffy St Johnstone team was nothing to be upset about.
That's not a dig. It's just a reflection that football has always been like this. Some fans will try to see the best in any team, others will see the worst in the best teams.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Couldn't care less that there were no fans in the ground either. I was too busy watching the game and willing us on to win. Not to be but that's life as the late Frank Sinatra used to belt out.

If people believe otherwise then that's their opinion, but it's not my idea of what I want to see.

Im not bored watching us but it can be very frustrating. The players have to take their share of the blame. The number of unforced errors from some of them is really beginning to get on my nerves. No manager can legislate for that. It seems remarkable we're 3rd in the league as I think we're very average quality wise, with only 2 or 3 real stand outs.

As I've said, we are frustrating but not anywhere near horrible to watch and I think you are letting your negativity run wild.
Saturday might be better :-0

Can’t explain why as I like Jack Ross and the majority of the squad are decent.
Results for the most part have been good but we’re boring as hell to watch and half the time I find myself doing something else whilst the game is on. Usually I’d be fully engrossed in the game with no distractions.
Rarely read any match reports or watch any highlights and only really keep an eye on here for any news.
Everything about the club just feels flat.

Its not just Hibs fans who are saying this.
Without fans football is exposed as being a bit of a dull sport these days. It`s the fans that contribute to making the game a more attractive spectacle. 22 men tippy tapping the ball about in a pedestrian manner in neat triangles with the occasional hoof thrown in is a hard watch.

We think we are better than what we are, as results have went for us, also still suffering a hangover over the semi defeat.
