Can anyone tell me what style of play/identity that this team has? I genuinely cannot see one, Ross has been in charge over a year and he hasn’t implemented a style of play, that is criminal

Style of Play??????

Miss midfield with Porteous or Hanlon trying to thread passes. When that fails, long aimless balls. Our build up play is generally very disjointed. Hit and hope.

Agreed,
I dont think he is the right man for the Job based on his style of play alone.
When you add to that 2 embarrassing semi final defeats his time is up for me.
Hes not the right man for Hibs.
Yes i know, we are 4th ( for now! ) but lets be honest even if we finish 4th its been a pretty dire brand of football to watch the majority of the season.

Too many formation changes, almost every game.
No balance throughout the team.
No leaders on the park.
No creation and very little football played, never ruthless or convincing.
Seldom any desire, belief or fight to make things happen.
Predictable slow, insipid and horrible to watch.

Players unfit
Jack Ross IMO got it wrong yet again by playing Murphy who can’t last 20 min never mind 90. Kyle McGinnis is another with no pace as for Doidge waste of a Jersey. Last half hour most of the team looked knackered except for young Doug and Irvine. Ross tactically I’d so inept

There is no style, there is no game plan, theres 10 players running around like headless chickens at times who look like they dont actually know their jobs.

Something ironic in Ron Gordon doing a fair bit of work on Hibs brand yet we don’t have a brand of football...

Think Rangers or Celtic and you know exactly how they're going to play and it's up to the opponents to stop then, we have played about 4-5 different tactics this season, ffs man pick one and get the players to play it every week.

May sound controversial but I think we need players that are better on the ball, the best Hibs sides I’ve had are full of attack and players comfortable on the ball no matter how many surround them or how much pressure they’re under.
Whilst I like Ross’ signings I’m scared they’re all a bit similar in that they’re physical and can run
That coupled with defenders that enjoy going and putting their head on the end of a cross.
When you think of the Hibs teams recently
Ambrose
McGeough
McGinn
Allan
Henderson
Fyvie
Stokes
etc
All could mix it but also very comfortable on the ball and could create

If no midfielder is demanding the ball and there’s no target man to aim for I really don’t know what the centre half’s are meant to do with the ball when they get it?
Get it up the park somewhere and hope Boyle, Murphy or Nisbet create something out of nothing I think.

We seem to sign adhoc players for the midfield positions without having a plan as to how they'll fit in.
It's a bit like ordering random pieces from Amazon for a jigsaw puzzle you're currently working on.

It was along the lines of we never signed him for a specific position and his versatility was a big factor.
I’d always prefer a clear picture of the formation and players that will play in each one. If one player is injured the next should slot in seamlessly. You’re seeing how well it works for Rangers at the moment.

Punt the ball aimlessly and hope Nisbet or someone else is in the vacinity. Then that player needs to hold the ball up with 2 players at his arse with zero support most of the time.

Perversely, Hibs having a bigger budget works against us sometimes.
Teams like St J, Livi etc have less cash and fill specific spots or replace players that leave etc.
Our "random midfield bingo" is not helping one bit.
Missing out on Ross Mcrorie now looks like it was a terrible error as those we have signed subsequently haven't exactly filled that hole.

These players are decent players - but not so good that we should be able to expect them to perform at a high level tactically in multiple different roles / formations.
I do think it's poor management. Look at Rangers this year - that team is like clockwork. Same formation every week with every player knowing their role inside out. I wish Ross would just settle on ONE line up and just master it.

Take the lead then hit teams on the counter... if we don’t score first we struggle big time

Until we address our powder puff central defence we will always struggle, midfielder after midfielder brought in,but no big no nonsense centre half who will do the no nonsense defending we need 2 if we could get them, we will always lose games to set pieces as we are and have been soft as ***** for years , the fans can see it why can hibs management not , teams know if we don't score early we run out of ideas and revert to hoof ball, until this area of our team is improved we will continue to struggle

It doesn’t look as if it is used to develop a style of play that players can buy into.
It doesn’t look as if it is used to develop and practice scoring goals from set pieces. There is no variation to our corner kick routine and the use of Boyle as the dead ball striker yesterday was horrendous.
It doesn’t look as if it is used to develop and practice defending goals from set pieces. Yesterday’s efforts at that were hopeless and embarrassing.
Is HTC all about conditioning and getting unfit players back to match fit standards because if it is then they are not doing a good job of that either. Our front players don’t have any pace to get away from defenders. Boyle is supposed to have pace but he is so out of form at the moment he is not worth a place in the team. Most of the other players appear to me to be blowing out their a...s long before the 90 minutes is up.
Teams like Ross County, Livingston and St Johnstone, all of which we have played recently, seemed to be to be better prepared to play against us than we were to play against them. I mean in all aspects,
style of play, tactics and fitness. So I ask once again does anyone know what goes on at HTC?
