Exactly, a spell of a game where we were below par, and there were reasons for that. Second half we were far better. If you want us to play swashbuckling free flowing attacking possession football then I’m sorry you are following the wrong team.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
In the main we will play attacking football (or at least try to), with Boyle Murphy Nisbet Allan Doig as an attacking full back etc, however it doesn’t always turn out like that. There are many factors to that, and even watching Rangers and Celtic is a chore at times. It’s a competitive league and you have to have that dirty side to you to win games, especially at this time of year.

But unless there’s something happened this season that stops the players on the pitch playing good football then I’m not sure why it matters what others are doing.

So are you telling me it’s not possible to play a good style of football because the fans aren’t there?

We’re third in the league, in our second cup semi final of the year, scored the third most goals in the league, conceded the third least goals in the league, got the leagues top scorer, we average 2.5 goals in our games.

Give me boring football and 3rd place over “good” football and 6th place any day.
You cannae please everyone all the time, if we were playing amazing football and were 3rd there would be complaints that the board aren’t showing enough ambition to go and get 2nd place.
This season we’ve been keeping a decent amount of clean sheets, we’ve got a striker scoring plenty goals, we’ve had investment that’s brought in some quality players for our level.
We’re moving the right way, and even if there have been disappointing results along the way, I’m happy with what’s happening this season.

Again though, it’s subjective, and judging by posts, lots of people find our football boring. It’s not ‘nonsense’ or whatever else it’s been described as, because it’s just an opinion. An opinion that a lot of people hold judging by posts on this forum.
You don’t hold that opinion, that’s fine.

Some of the football we’ve produced hasn’t been very good at all, that’s a fact, but would we rather build the basis of a team who can get results and build performance levels. on that, or have a team who can play great football but have to work on getting results?

That’s yesterday’s just before half time.
Here’s a thread titled boring where plenty people are again in agreement -

There’ll be plenty others from previous games.
Making out like it’s just one or two people who think we play boring football or that it’s simply not the case is wrong.Last edited by calumhibee1; 17-01-2021 at 02:05 PM.

Rory Delaps long throw ins for Stoke back in the day were exciting, but they were a ***** football team.

The one thing that is unquestionably boring is the people that have posted a hundred times about being bored.

In fact, 16 shots at Celtic on Monday night saw some label us negative.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

If people keep posting then the discussion will keep going. It’s how a forum works.

I wasn't telling you to do or not do anything, merely making an observation.
If you can continually post how bored you are with watching Hibs, then surely I can post how bored I am reading your constant negativity?

Based on what your saying I'd assume they were full of praise for what was really, an excellent display of attacking football

Jack’s certainly had a lot of stick on here, but we need to acknowledge the great works he’s done at Hibs. Sitting 3rd in the league
This is a massive week though for Jack and Hibs

We should all be happy with the direction of travel. Fans are entitled to grumble about the style of football and certain results, but having a full scale meltdown about it is way over the top.
I suppose the real question is: is this as good as it gets, or is there more to come? Based on our recruitment in the past year I’m definitely in the latter camp. Jack strikes me as a very organised and structured manager but there is potential for more flair and creativity within that.
