The Jack Ross Poll

Exactly ...if anyone had offered us last season before it started. We’d have bitten their hand off for it .

Sure we are rightly gutted by the performance in the final - it is a kick in the balls ..but overall that is a much better than season than we usually have . Definite progress ...

If you read the placings purely on paper absolutely we would have. But when you delve into I’m not so sure we would. Personally I wish we’d never got to the final if I’d known we’d put in the performance we did.

Bh makes a valid point, but I believe things have moved on from there. As fans, as a club and with our new owner our targets are higher and expectations too. And if you choose to just judge the team and manager what conclusion do you draw from 3 of our 4 trips to Hampden this season ?

You're persistent, but I haven't got a clue what you're actually saying.

The poll is there for us all to see. I'm not sure your statistical analysis skills are really shedding any new light on it.

Could you explain how that could possibly be taken as trolling?

And are you going to jump on my back every time I post?

He was correctly correcting an incorrect take on the poll results.

Can we do this without the petty bickering, calling each other trolls etc. We don’t want to be spending our time deleting stuff because grown adults can’t discuss things respectfully.
Thanks.

Which bit wouldn’t you have taken?

League - 3rd place.

Scottish Cup Final - lost to St Johnstone (take/not take)?
Semi final - Dundee United (win) take or not take?
1/4 final - Motherwell (win) take or not take?
Stranraer/QotS - win both, take or not take?

League Cup
Semi final - lost to St Johnstone (take or not take?)
1/4 final - Alloa (win) take or not take
Dundee - win, take or not take?

Where’s the cut off that losing would have been ok? If we’re saying we would only accept getting to the final as being good if we win, which of the earlier rounds could we have lost in that would have been better?

[craigmcfarlane]

I don't want him sacked but questions have to be asked about the team/manager mentality for big games.

The problem for me is that when we lose, we don't go down with a fight. I don't think many fans would complain if we had a fighting spirit but still got beat.

*Majority of people who didn't vote don't want him sacked.

Sorry, should have qualified it.

Precisely 😂

Using the current poll as assumption, there's 111 that didn't vote the don't want him sacked of which 72 wouldn't be bothered which is 65%.

I'm at the point with it all though, let's just move on and look towards next season, back him and get behind the club.

You are stating facts, I am not disagreeing with them.

So as Hibs fans, we are delighted we won at Aberdeen for the 1st time since 2012 and won 3rd place in the league.

I'd take defeat at Aberdeen, 4th place in the league and 2 cups any day of the week. Just my preference. For me Saturday was the ultimate crunch. We sh*t the bed on Saturday.

But you don't have that choice, you have what we achieved and thats it. I'd take relegation to win both cups and the champions league. Is it likely? naw.

Barring an absolute disaster of a season for the OF 3rd is as good as we can get so obviously I’d take that.

Given the easy draws we had in both cup competitions there isn’t a cut off that losing would have been OK. We should have won both cups.

You said you’d rather have not got to the final if you knew we’d put in that performance. Is it the case now that it’s only acceptable to get knocked out of any cup competition by Rangers or Celtic?

There’s only one team in each cup competition that goes through the tournament unbeaten, we fell at the final hurdle, but that’s still a very good cup run.

You can lose a league cup group game and still win the cup.

I know what I said, but it’s hindsight and clearly I wouldn’t have known we were going to put in such a pish performance in the final. My feeling I wish we hadn’t bothered doesn’t though mean it would have been acceptable to go out in an earlier round given our opposition. We should have won both cups. Clearly it wasn’t such an impossible task as St Johnstone did so quite comfortably.

If we should have won both cups we would have. But there was no divine right to win anything. Should is probably the most stupid word in football. People who have a bet on the football soon realise, that more often than not, the teams that should have won, don't. Otherwise they'd all be millionaires.

Well technically, the team had a choice on Saturday, did not turn up. Had the choice v St Johnstone in league cup semi, did not turn etc.

St Johnstone had the same opportunity and took them.

If the players choose to turn up, we’re not having this poll.

FFS, 32% on here want Hibs to sack JR after a semi final, final and third in the league. When was the last time had a season as successful as this? Either .net is full of trolls or nowhere near representative of the Hibs support.

Or 32% are spewing at the best chance we will have for a very long time of winning two trophies in one season.

This thread just goes in circles.



How many times does it need to be said that finishing 3rd is great. We've had a very good league campaign and there is no denying that even if the football has been a bit more of a pragmatic approach and a bit dull at times. However in the context of the season, with regards to how the draws fell for the cup competitions then Hibs have utterly failed. We should and could have been sat here buzzing about the best season in our history but we are not.
