I was hugely optimistic after Maloney's first 2 games.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The last 3 have knocked that confidence in a big way as it hasn't been pretty. OK, it's been pretty awful.
But the point made is a decent one - the points total and the end result hasn't been unacceptable. We lost at Celtic Park, as one might expect. We got through the cup tie against an awkward opponent. We got a point away to the team directly above us in the league. All of that was whilst playing poorly.
To play poorly but progress in competitions and pick up points can be considered to be a strength.
So I take on board the point about his points return so far.
I just wished that I was looking forward to the weekend with confidence. TBH I just wished I was looking forward to watch Hibs play and I'm not, as it has all the hallmarks of a frustrating afternoon. Stuffy opponent, restless crowd, a team still trying to adapt to a new way of playing.
3 games ago I thought we had a great chance of catching and leapfrogging Hearts. Right now I think we've got no chance and that's not because I think they're any good.

You’ve been anti-Maloney from the get go. It’s boring.

Nothing would fall to Nisbet or an advance player in the game until the Doidge chance.
So far it seems we still struggle to break down teams who sit back, even at Celtic park they just backed off us.
I'm hoping a few things click on Saturday.

Three games so far this year and a grand total of one goal, in extra time, against Cove.
That's really worrying and needs to be addressed.

We are a much better team with Porteous in it. Looking forward to Saturday.

I'm fully behind any Hibs manager, especially after 5 bloody games. Lets not be daft here and think that there isn't a very big 10 days coming up for Shaun. He really needs to get it right

I don’t think there’s any more pressure on this derby than before. If anything there’s been very little said about it.
Folk will be disappointed if we lose but I don’t think we’ll see a meltdown on here or chants of Maloney must go!

Was there last night. Maloney persisted with back five with wingbacks even when Well’ went down to ten. Far too defensive and just didn’t work. Huge missed opportunity.

I was more annoyed at what I saw before that. It was clear the game was just drifting along and our first change was to bring Drey Wright on.

Wright getting a game is bemusing. Don’t know why Doidge wasn’t brought on sooner albeit he did miss an absolute sitter.

Really puzzled by a number of Maloney's decisions so far, including his insistence on playing Campbell and the lack of game time for Doidge.

Haven't read the full thread. But Maloney has made a very good start imo. Only Celtic have beaten us and excluding the Parkhead result we've won 3 and drawn 1 with 3 clean sheets. And have only lost 1 goal in 4 games (exclusive Celtic).
You can see what he is trying to develop as a working formation and imo made some decent signings.
He's only been here for 5 games. Patience lads and lassies.
Same with Josh Campbell. This young player has only made around 15 appearances for Hibs. Let him play and develop and support him.

You are right patience is required, and it's to early to know for sure how this is going to turn out. We can only comment on the evidence available so far. On the face of it your stats look pretty good, no doubt but then it depends how you list stats - 3 games without a goal or a win in 90 minutes is not great.
I don't see anyone not supporting Campbell or Maloney, just expressing opinions.
