Trigger happy? Surely you’re not saying that there’s fans wanting him sacked? He’s going to need a lot of time to implement his vision and if he’s not flexible in doing so he’ll face a lot of criticism along the way. With the players we had available and the weather conditions last night we needed to be much more flexible in our approach, that was brutally obvious when Motherwell went down to 10 men. I’d imagine all hibs fans want to see us play in the same style as Belgium, but even Belgium didn’t go from being also rans to the number 1 team in the world by just changing manager, they had a complete revolution in how they approached coaching, it took years to come to fruition. Maloney maybe needs a reality check if he wants to be a successful club manager.
Not trigger happy in wanting him sacked, more in the sense of deciding his style of football isn't working.Absolutely Belgium didn't get to top spot by just changing managers, they changed way they approached games, changed mindsets, changed culture,brought players into the set up that could play the way the management team wanted to play , and those weren't always the best players, but played well in the structure.These things do take time and players have to adapt to that.Shaun brought on more attacking players when Motherwell went down to 10 men, but they fitted in to the structure.
I'm sure we will get players in that will fit into the way the manager wants us to play, and ones that can't will move on.
Next 2-3 days, rest of season plus summer window will give us more of an idea of what he wants and then we can judge whether he's successful or not
