Desperately exposed again. Badly lacking a commanding centre half, should be focusing on defensive re-enforcements instead of all the midfield/forwards we’ve been linked with or signed. Absolutely bullied at those set pieces.

Said it for years!!! Can’t talk bad about hanlon, he’s a great servant. He’s at the heart of a defence that crumbles

It may be worth taking the Captain armband from Hamlin and letting him concentrate on his
own game rather than everyone’s. Not sure who we give it too though as we don’t seem to have any leaders on the pitch.

Piss poor mental attitude has been inherent in the club for decades, we have our moments but in general we are perpetual underachievers due to the lack of belief and desire that exists within the club. Every other team, from every level, are capable of upping their game in "big games", Hibs seldom do and rarely ever turn up.
Playing squads and management teams come and go yet the soft, timid displays still persist in derbies as well as cup semis / finals and pretty much every time they need to stand up and be counted.
We're far too concerned about upsetting other people rather than looking after ourselves!

We need more options in defence. Hanlon and Porteous know they can play awful every week but will still start every game. We have nobody better in our squad that can replace them. That itself is poor management and recruitment. You need pressure on players to perform every week.

Unbelievable how many people on here constantly defend Hanlon.
A player who has been at the heart of a soft “boy band” hibs side for years.
He’s simply not good enough if we want to improve

He looked like Bambi on ice for the whole game
Not sure if he was hampered by that early injury or not

Ross is heading the same way as most of the other recent managers loosing his job for not sorting out the soft as s###e defence.
How hard is it to get a couple of big no nonsense centre half's , nearly every other team can manage it .
Would have the St Johnstone centre half's before our 2 even there right back was a big powerful player.

How is it the likes of Livi can unearth a couple of giants every year for peanuts ? Our recent managers have not got a clue how to buy defenders, Big mobile defenders are ten a penny in the lower leagues of England, all they have to do is win a header which seems to be beyond Hanlon and Porto. Hanlon has been at ER to long and seems to be the first name on the team sheet every week-anyone remember him being dropped ? Keep players to long and they will get you the sack and it might be the case for our present one.

He had limitations but with hindsight letting Jackson go without signing a replacement looks a mistake, especially as Ross has decided Daz is only picked as a last resort.

Hanlon is not strong enough Porteous is not solid enough. Porteous doesn’t learn anything from Hanlon. If Ross doesn’t bring a centre half in and change captain ASAP then he will be out of a job.
