Although we fully deserved that today we did a bit of a St Johnstone on St Johnstone. Can't remember Macey having to make a save. Very pleasing.

Something we’ve been needing to do.
Give me that over a play well but loss/draw from conceding a cheap goal any day.
I also don’t think it was that “ugly”. It wasn’t scintillating football but we done our job and worked hard. Controlled the game even after we scored which ssd
pleasing.

I wouldn’t have described our performance as “ugly”.
Patient and disciplined with some tidy football at times in amongst it. An excellent three points.

A good win today, good to finally get a win against them. We still need to work out how we break them down though, aside from a bit of a contentious penalty, we didn’t create much. Boyle is becoming a very reliable penalty taker.

I'll gladly take three points no matter how they come. But I think a few players are looking like they're going off the boil at the same time which is never a good sign. Boyle (penalties aside), Nisbet, and Magennis aren't looking as threatening these last few games as they were at the start of the European run and into the league. If we can eek out games like this until it clicks again for them we should be in a good position.

Nobody seems to win with flair against St Johnstone they are set up to frustrate

Reminds me of a few seasons back when Aberdeen just kept on winning games by hook or crook. Was so frustrating and I was envious looking on. We are similar now. It's more than just luck, it's an art.

St Johnstone are effective in what they do. If it takes 90 minutes of stodge to get a result then so be it.

Was never going to be pretty but I thought we played well up until the goal. Showed patience and stuck to the task. I do think we need a lot more composure and to be braver when we have a lead though. Even although they didn’t really create anything with the extra man we should have been knocking the ball about a lot better. We sat in too much.

Great victory. Well done Hibs.
I wouldn’t say it was ugly but St Johnstone by their very style makes it a difficult watch at times.
Hard fought victory, bring on the Rangers next week

I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win against a team like St Johnstone any day of the week. Considering we hadn't beat them at ER for nearly a decade and struggled massively against them in key games last season. Psychologically that is huge, you saw how much the win meant by the reaction at full time!

The encouraging thing for me is I think our form has dipped for the last 3 or 4 games but we're still winning/drawing. Last season when we where out of form we were dropping far more points especially at home. Combine this with the amount of players out injured and I'm beginning to get those Leicester vibes.

Great 3 points today. Not pretty in the 1st half but way better in the 2nd. Thought we dug in well and frustrated St Johnstone and played them at their own game abit.

I thought we were terrible. St Johnstone played their part in that though.
So slow in possession, barely any good movement, little width. Nesbit needs Doidge next to him. We play a lot of long balls to Nesbit and Boyle up top. Can’t really get to the bye line as Doidge isn’t available.
That said, delighted to beat the set out to frustrate tractor clowns.

The manager says a few players running on empty due to recent illness etc. 3 points in the bag. Was never going to be pretty today.

I thought once we went in front, St Johnstone showed that they can actually play a bit. Even down to 10 men they kept trying to play passing football, and showed good pressure on the ball and a willingness to play.
I think they are decent, in fact there are a few decent teams this season, St Mirren another.

I can recall a few incidents of Doig skinning Rooney down the wing and although we didn’t force Clark into any wonder saves we found ourselves in good positions in the box quite often only to have shots blocked by some good defending.
We also limited St J to very little and stood up well to prevent crosses coming in and also defend any that did find there way in, which has been a sore point for us this season.
There was a spell in the second half probably until the penalty where the situation was looking like we were a bit short of ideas but once the goal was scored I think we were on the front foot and didn’t let them pile pressure on like St Mirren and Dundee have done previously in getting late goals (sending off would have helped granted).
It wasn’t a classic performance by any means but from where I was looking it was a far cry from terrible.
