I just can’t help but think how many chances we miss/should score from compared to other teams.
Even things that aren’t particularly poor defensively from us, we instantly get punished.
Yesterday is the prime example, their centre half half volleyed a shot and scored an absolute screamer. When would our centre half ever strike a ball that luckily,
I don’t know what it is, because we should have so many more points.
Some of it I struggle to blame Montgomery for and think “if he does this “ we’ll be ok and improve, the other half thinks it’s just not worked. Hes been unlucky with a few things - var, centre halves scoring screamers etc but sometimes the fit just doesn’t feel quite right and it’s best for everyone to move on

Too many times over the years have I witnessed a “cannot be bothered and lethargic” attitude and performance when playing teams deemed to be not up to our quality, be it in the premier or lower divisions, or in the cup. It happens under all managers, so they are not the root of the problem.
It cannot be a coincidence that we keep doing this over and over, there has to be something in the organisations DNA somewhere, making us act this way. The last two games are classic examples. Sorry, but it is just not good enough and it has to change.
Hibs must be: harder , faster , stronger both physically and emotionally.

Let look at Kilmarnock this year:
no fuss, no fanfare.
hard work , good team spirit.
my impression of them from a distance is of a well drilled, fighting unit, that keep going and are street smart. Not words I would associate with Hibs this season.
sure macinnes has helped, but it is not all down to him.
they might do better, they might do worse next year, but my money is on seeing them in the top 6 easily, so that leaves us to be 1 of the remaining 2 after c,r,h,killie.
who will be our main rivals for that spot?
-Aberdeen? Probably, they will be an entirley different proposition next season.
-Dundee utd will be there or there abouts.
- st mirren/Motherwell ? Solid teams.
I think all these teams will take strides forwards, so we need to adapt and grow a pair, sharpish.

You’re right about killie, but look at their recruitment.
Lewis Mayo - An absolute no brainer and very good defender
Stuart Findlay - left sided experienced centre half who has quality and knows the league
Matthew Kennedy - is he good enough to start every week? Is he better than Tavares? Yes.
Vassel - leader up top and a right handful. Watkins also similar and then to add to it they bring in Van Veen.
They then introduced Watson who is brilliant.
They’ve got a style of play which suits the league perfectly and players that can do both sides of the game.
Their flair players in Kennedy and Armstrong are more than capable of song a shift defensively and often play as wing backs.

I do not want to be a doom monger, and I really do think we will get there, but not until we sharpen up and stop arsing about. think back to THAT st mirren game, they tore us a new one with ease because we were lethargic and they were on it for the whole 90mins. Not good enough. They obviously did their homework. When was the last time you watched Hibs and thought “wow, we have really sat down and come up with a plan to beat the other team AND we are implementing it”

You can buck the trend short term but long term budget is everything in football.

1. a strong backbone, from keeper through mid to striker
2. a minimum of 1 or 2 leaders who set the standard and example for others
3. a balance of skilled players, enforcers and solid pros.
Looking at this Hibs squad, we have a poor keeper, weak midfield and misfiring striker force. We have NO leaders on the field - at least none you'd say were able to set example and pull the rest up when games weer tough. We have zero enforcers and our backline are far from solid. All Hibs appear to have are a small number of individual skilled players with little else. It's the kind of squad that needs relegation to reset, just as Stubbs did back in 14/15. Hopefully the Foley cash injection, and Bournemouth link will allow our new manager to have a complete clearcut of the deadwood and underachievers, and rebuild the squad over the summer in a planned way.
