Stale

[Key West]

The season looks stale already, it looks like we'll be relying on Boyle, Marshall and Cadden to be the difference.

How can it be stale if its only just started? Still got players to return and others to fully integrate and get up to speed.

Most teams rely on their best players

Does it now? Interesting.

There is some amount of hand wringing on here after a defeat.

I know the first few posts disagree with you but I’m inclined to agree. So far does it look particularly different from last season?

Heavily reliant on Marshal and Boyle to drag us above mediocrity. The same glaring gaps in midfield and also centreback remain. Still relying on the likes of Doidge, Newel, JDH, Campbell & Melkerson but expecting a different outcome, and a collection of young players with potential but questionable what they can offer in the short term.

I say this not with any glee.

One fortunate win, one fortunate draw and a predictable defeat.
I would think that will be probably be the pattern for the season and with no cup football to look forward to till the new year it's no wonder the natives are restless.

A deserved win and a deserved draw.

I agree but there isn’t really any obvious improvement from the Maloney days, which weren’t an obvious improvement from the Ross days. So I can understand folk’s frustration.

Is stale really the word you genuinely wanted to use? I’d be interested to hear you elaborate further to give us an idea of your thoughts?

[Stubbsy90+2]

Hard to argue that to some extent it already is stale. There’s a full cup competition to be completed before the next one comes round. We’re already knocked out. From looking at our performances so far, Europe is nothing but a pipe dream.

Out of the competitions that are currently underway, we’re either knocked out already or the general feeling is that we’ll finish mid table or lower in the league. That’s pretty stale to me.

What makes the win and the draw fortunate? Because the goals came late on?

Or are we just twisting the narrative to make yesterdays result seem worse?

It's absolutely twisting the narrative. There are never any references made to unfortunate draws or defeats.

Stale? There were wild scenes of celebration after our first 2 games.

I think there was plenty evidence in both our last 2 games that we are a much better side with Martin Boyle and really we should have won the game yesterday.

Having fans giving up after 3 games says more about the fans than the team to be honest. I've already seen numb skulls on social media calling for LJ's head and new players have been written off after 1 or 2 fleeting appearances.

As usual the "answer" in the eyes of such "fans" will be get rid of everyone and then if that does happen the new people will get about 3 weeks to transform the team and the cycle of discontent will repeat.

[JammyDoidger]

We are a strong centre half and quality centre mid away from being a decent side imo.

A fourth straight defeat to Livi merits flak. Folk are rightly questioning what that's all about.

Also the fourth manager, so the managers arent even getting a chance to right the wrongs, it's an awful stat but the only way we will overcome it is by giving someone time to learn and adapt.

If we fire LJ then the next manager can also lose to Livi.

I stand by stale which is not only applicable to Hibs, we never learn from our mistakes, playing players out of position, not having the right attitude from the start, not being streetwise, talking the talk about playing with style, I'm not suggesting sacking a manager or criticising individual players but we seem to be in an everlasting transitional period which unfortunately can only be addressed by signing players of a better quality, otherwise we replace like for like, other fans on other forums will be saying the same things apart from Celtic and Rangers and possibly Hearts and I say that with reservations.

It can't be stale yet as we are still mixing the ingredients and the oven is just warming up...give it some time at least (or at yeast) 😁

We are (though I'd argue something new is needed up front too). Unfortunately unless we actually sign such players that distance away is pretty enormous.

[Waxy]

Extreme moods on here after any result.
We will win and we will lose.Lets give ourselves a bit more time to gel everyone together.

Some players are still to ‘prove’ themselves at this level.
