Daz would have made a difference. Of course he would have. He's a better defender than Porteous and should have started.

The boy is clearly talented. I'm not saying he's not. And he'll definitely learn and get better. But as it stands Daz is a better defender just now and should have started.

Gogic was the problem IMO - no idea what he's thinking and allows wotherspoon all the time in the world to put the perfect cross in for Rooney.

Booth's desire to win those 50/50s was spot on. I actually think McGinn done all he could there but was just bettered by Booth/the break of the ball after.Mon the Hibs.

We’d never have asked Doig to mark Rooney at a corner of free kick, cos it’s a mismatch. An obvious one.
I’d have loved to have seen Doig win that header, but I just can’t blame him, at all, for it.

Rooney is an aerial threat, it’s probably his best attribute. Doig is a young athletic full back, who’s fairly lightweight. It’s a complete mismatch for a header.

The quality of the cross from Wotherspoon took the goalie out of the equation.
Boyle ,McGinn,Gogic ,Doig and the two centre half’s that we’re ball watching were all culpable.

He always cuts back onto his right. Gogic looked like an idiot.

McGregor would only have made a difference by being played in the centre of a 3 with Porteous and Hanlon either side of him.
It's what I had hoped for but it didn't happen.
It was daft repeating our shape from the previous unsuccessful games against St Johnstone.
The match up 3-5-2 might not have looked good but I don't think they would have scored against it.

McGregor with either Hanlon or Porteous would have made a difference. Like when Sauzee stepped on the park in a Hibs shirt, you just felt more confident. McGregor is not Sauzee, of course, but he is an experienced player - and a winner - in form and would have been our only natural leader on the park (as many others have said).

Don’t think so. We lost the game in midfield as we were unable to create anything.

This “natural leader” stuff that gets bandied around every time we have a bad result does my head in though. I’ve seen us lose plenty games with “natural leaders” McGregor and Gray on the pitch. Plenty.
I love the determination they bring, but it’s never consistently meant the team were always up for it. We lost as many games with them as we do without.
The league cup final we lost to Ross County. We had McGregor and Gray and McGinn and Bartley. We lost that game. To a team worse than the St Johnstone one that beat us yesterday.Last edited by easty; 23-05-2021 at 03:09 PM.

There are certain games that you need a natural leader on the park and yesterday was one of them. We just seemed so flat despite it being a Scottish cup final.
Would Darren have made a difference? It's a question we'll never know the answer to but you know what he is going to offer.

For me yes, we really needed his experience. Ryan is a cracking player, is probably the better footballer and definitely has more potential but this was a cup final. For me Doig's nerves showed (he's still just a kid), he needed a Daz on the pitch.
That said it was in midfield we lost that match, strikers never got a sniff and Boyle (our go to guy) was actually really poor....I just cant understand what I saw from him yesterday. He will be off, so will Nisbet and Irvine though.....I hope Ryan stays and gets that experience with us.

Porteous can be blamed for many things, but its not really his fault that the game was lost in midfield.
