Eight games coming up before the winter break, all half a week apart:
Livingston (A)
St Mirren (A)
Dundee (H)
Celtic (N)
Aberdeen (H)
Dundee Utd (A)
Celtic (A)
Hearts (H)
A fairly tough run especially near the end, and potentially career-defining for Ross as far as his tenure at Hibs are concerned.
For me, personally, a win at Hampden will put any doubts to bed, and likewise if we lose the derby I'll find it hard to support him long-term. I'm probably one of Ross' biggest fans on here as it stands, but defeats to them at home are unacceptable, and he's already managed one.

Aberdeen games at home BTW.
Busy schedule but the most important one is Livingston this midweek. Can’t look too far ahead but really need to be taking full points from next three if we class ourselves as a top 4 club. Feels like we are a bit away from those standards right now though.

Need Doidge back in the side and Magennis and Murphy to overcome their ‘McGeouchitis’ 😷
The football first half today was as poor as I’ve seen in decades. Small squad, no depth or real quality, hampered by incredibly poor recruitment.
The team lacks character and personality on the pitch. I’m not exaggerating when I say this squad needs another winger, striker, creative midfielder and right back. Don’t think we’ll see that happening in January though, hopes will be pinned on Tait and Meuller and neither have me overly enthused but time will tell.
Our midfield at times look like they’re wearing lead boots. Not one player willing to drive, dribble, take men on. Needs a Latapy type player in there to get folk off their seat - uncovering a rough diamond like that is not easy, but we need a creative dynamo in that area.

That run after the final is not easy, but I genuinely believe we are not far off turning back in to a team that competes at the top end of the league. The performance today was mixed but we had 2 chances off the line and hit the bar, against Rangers we were a touch away from having the ball in the net (Goldson clearance), St Johnstone a couple of disallowed goals that are ambiguous at best, even against Ross county we hit the post.
I know people don’t like this phrase, but it really is fine margins that are costing us points. We need more bodies to be able to change influence games. By all accounts Ross changes formation today and we looked the better team thereafter."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

9 points and a cup win in the next 2 and a bit weeks will see us going into those 4 tough games on a high.

I genuinely think there is a section of Hibs support that cannot be won over by Jack Ross, so entrenched are their opinions that he’s dull, his team is dull and the football is dull. Even with a cup win."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

That isn’t their opinion by accident either. Whilst I don’t think we’re eye bleeding, some of the stuff yesterday particularly in the 1st half had me questioning why I’d bothered. We were beyond sloppy. 2nd half was an improvement and we should’ve won the game but didn’tLast edited by Stuart93; 05-12-2021 at 10:16 AM.

Yep we do, definitely missing magennis. We have no choice but to spend in January to save our season or we face a lot more empty home games next season
