Jack Ross

[Hibiza]

Ross is totally unable to change the flow of a game. Proved it time after time. Tactically inept.

[PortoHSC]

That was absolutely pathetic, seriously questioning wether or not jack ross can take us forward. Thinking since he has came in we have had no style of play or identity. The players we have shouldn’t be getting beaten to st johnstone never mind being beaten 3-0 especially in a semi final. Absolutely mortified by that

With the injuries we’ve had in the middle of the park he’d didn’t have many choices. Most fans agreed Mallan isn’t the answer. The back 3 had played together many times but for some reason couldn’t defend set plays well enough.

Sorry but that is utter crap, that is the most midfield choices I have ever seen a Hibs team have with only Newall missing.

Today wasn't the game to go all experimental with untried players.

He panicked big time when the second went in and we were considerably worse for his changes.

Only Rocky ( who had no chance with any of the goals) Doig (although he had another torrid time defensively) and Irvine emerge from that with reputations relatively intact

[Hiber-nation]

Some individuals were dreadful tonight and have no excuses. But he picks them, he signs them and it'll ultimately fall on him to explain himself. To be humped 3-0 by a team so far below us in a National semi final is an utter disgrace and the 2nd half was just embarrassing. The subs were panic stations.

I wonder if we will get an interview. More of the " pleased with some aspects of the game" "dust ourselves down" rubbish.

I want Hibs to win every game. I’m disappointed because we have bottled two of the biggest games this season against teams with lower quality than us. He’s a bottle merchant.

and that's sacking material? maybe a wee bit early for that?

[Roxyhibee]

Any Hibs fan recoiling in horror at the suggestion of Jack Ross being shown the door is hiding behind calling other fans “bedwetters” and not wanting the (reasonable) best for a club with a generous budget in comparison to other teams who are now regularly beating us. This Hibs team and manager are nice but VERY soft and I honestly can’t make out what you are seeing otherwise. I’ll support Hibs, season ticket, HSL, everything, but this current situation lacking serious bottle is indefensible and not going to get any better.

When then?

4th, 5th, bottom 6? Relegation battle?

He has lost the fans and I wouldn't be surprised if the players are just coasting now til he's booted.

8 goals shipped to Livi, Ross C, St J.

Let that sink in......

Eh? Cos Joe Newell was injured? He had plenty options.

Joe Newell played when Hughes and Martindale schooled him. He’s got a phenomenal squad.


Alarm bells started ringing for me when we lost to Hearts at ER.

Everyone knew how to beat them. Pace over the top. Not this idiot. He sticks Boyle at wing back, 50 yards away from their back line. Did he notice this and change it? Did he f...

He's not cut out for a big club. St mirren is his ceiling.

jack ross "Angry"


a few players on that pitch tonight should be the angry ones...with themselves...no pride whatsoever after that early 2nd goal...none


if they think they're too good to be at our club then it's THEM that can go **** off

[southern hibby]

Said this to my mates a few times but I genuinely think he sets a team up for a small pitch. We have done better on the road with smaller pitches than we have with bigger ones for example ER and hampden.

We have players that look like they only ever win a second ball on smaller pitches and as for passing again ( in my mind at least ) we seem to do better on smaller pitches.

As for why I think of Jack Ross not a lot to be honest. Yes he’s got us to 4th at the moment but will that last till the end of the season? I genuinely don’t know if it will with displays like I’ve just watched.

GGTTH

[Crab apple]

For me it's too soon to be sacking JR although I can understand why some are frustrated after we've capitulated in two semi finals in a row to weaker opposition. We're doing okay in the league and on paper most of JR's signings are good. However, we're badly leacking leadership, drive and gallusness on the pitch. Everything is safe and vanilla and that reflects the personalities of our manager and captain. With Gray and McGregor no longer involved we need to being in some experience, cockiness and fight. A Scott Brown type. A Jason Cummings. A Graeme Shinnie type.

[Robbo6-2]

I actually thought we were better side until he changed formation. But on the flip side, we went into a NATIONAL cup semi final and played a formation we have never played all season to match up against St ******g Johnstone.

Martin Boyle on set pieces (first time all season)

Letting Paul Hanlon still have a line in his hair aged 32.

All sackable offences

[JohnM1875]

He's done at Hibs. Doesn't matter where he finishes this season, two semi final results and performances in other bigger games will count against him.

Shame, like him as a guy. Won't take us any further forward as a manager.

Cause Ross is the first manger to lose to Hearts at home. He inherited a midfield that was too soft. He wanted McRorie but couldn’t get him, had to settle for just gogic. Irvine is a strong signing with the right attributes to make us a stronger side.

Boyle has played a few positions this year, but for whatever reason he has been pretty poor since signing a new deal.

[burtis97]

Absolute disgrace! Reaction to a simple question from a reporter and he flies off the handle like that he’s paid to win football matches and he’s not doing that when it matters most! Once we take nothing against Rangers on Wednesday where do we go from there ?

We were the better side until we went 1-0 down imo.

Over the game though St Johnstone were the much better team and deserved the win. I’m not even sure I’d say the scoreline flattered them.

Scoreline flattered us. First half, i don’t have any real issues with.

Second half was as bad as it gets. All that was missing was someone losing the head and getting sent off, but actually none of them had enough about them to even do that.

Sickening performance, and for all I’ve defended him, if he wants to lose the “can’t win big games” tag then he needs to start winning some big games.

[Gmack7]

Sorry but hes just not good enough that was embarrassing. selection, Formation tactics I've no idea what any of them were. Cadden, Irvine, Allan and Magennis had the sum total of hee haw top flight football but all had lengthy spells on the park tonight. Totally baffling and desperate. We're 4th in the worst PL in recent memory we should never be below that.

You missed out that Irvine was our only decent player from your post ....

[SaulGoodman]

Good win percentage. Shambles of a league, dire football and bottled every big game we’ve played.

That’s clearly not what I said.

We lost to an awful Hearts team that was getting pumped by everyone in the same way. Yet this clown thought, I’ll do it differently and played right into their hands.

As for Boyle, he’s played a few positions but he’s best wide of a front 3. He’s always been an average centre forward, always been an average wing back, he’s never been decent behind the striker and barely even reaches the standard of a professional footballer on the left, yet every week, he’s a victim of this clowns tactical roulette 🤡

Of course he was he had a good game . And the other 3 will hopefully turn out to be great players for us going forward but it was desperation to play them all today. It actually looked like he was just giving Allan and Magennis some minutes to build their fitness

Hibs aren't sacking a manager while we're 4th. ''tick tock'' isn't true and honestly, its a really bizarre thing for a Hibs fan to come out with. Its like you actively want him to fail.

he has already failed in a lot of peoples eyes.

After going 1-0 down though given how we’d played was wetting the bed imo. If we want the players to have a bit more about themselves then surely we should ourselves? A bit of reflection is a good thing. In the heat of the moment is rarely the best time. That said I am running out of patience. For me one of the striking things pre-match was the difference in demeanour between Davidson and Ross. Who would I want to play for... on that performance Davidson.

[Hibees1973]

Ross and the recruitment guys have lost the plot from what i can see.

Know we are Hibs and are unable to sign in-form players for big money. However, of our recent signings most have a serious question about them. For example, they are either recovering from serious injuries (Magennis/Murphy), have a good reputation which is in the past (Cadden) or have not played for a considerable amount of time (Irvine).

I fully understand signing new players is a gamble and there are no 100% guarantees. Irvine was one of our better players tonight, not difficult, but surely Ross and the recruitment people can do better than this.

We are 4th, but looking over our shoulder. Two winable semi finals defeats will have seriously damaged the players confidence in each other and Ross.

Our owner must have serious doubts about handing more money to Ross. With Dempster away and a replacement for her yet, we appear rudderless and after the last couple of months at a crossroads.

Ross will need a few wins in the next four or five games to move back into 3rd in the table to give himself some breathing space.

However, I feel the support has now turned against him and it is now only a matter of time before he is gone.
