Shaun Maloney - Style of play

Today we saw a horrific second half but are we seriously at the Maloney out stage for some after 6 matches in charge? Wow.

No, but that pish today has not helped his cause, we lost a game at home to Livingston who were 4th bottom before today. They're only 4 points behind us now. We play Hearts at home then St Mirren at home which are must wins if we are to keep in touch with the top 4. We then go away to Rangers on the 9th of Feb and then up to Arbroath in th cup who will most definitely smell an upset given our terrible form. Look at the 2nd goal we conceded. We cant defend even defend a mildly threatening long throw into our box. Shocking stuff. Maloney has his work cut out thats for sure.

its cause maloney doesnt inspire confidence, we needed a strong character, a proper leader, not another nice guy.

I'm so glad you've been allowed access to the changing room to listen to his team talk and after game talks, thanks for sharing. Here's me thinking the hair dryer treatment and calling out players was a thing of the past but it seems it's what some of you still want.

“Most people” is quite the take. You were never at the Maloney in stage, that’s fair enough. I remember you telling everyone you were giving him ten games and that hasn’t lasted very long.

I'm not exactly Maloney out yet, but losing at home to Livi us a disgrace. Especially in such shambolic fashion. He had actually zero idea 2nd half. Not a clue.

[Ozyhibby]

If he doesn’t bring in a centre mid before Monday, he won’t make it to the end of the season. We are horrific in the middle of the park. Omeonga the best midfielder out there today.
We won’t beat Hearts on Tuesday. And that is going to put huge pressure on Maloney.

Whilst Porteous has been and can be a great asset, in my opinion he can also be a huge liability with mistakes and regular suspensions.

[Dazzjw1875]

Again nowhere near good enough and the players don't look like they know what they are doing! We shouldn't be getting embarrassed by teams who's budget is alot less than ours its all good saying better quality but no use if they don't have the heart for a battle.

JDH - a nothing player IMO
Campbell - lower league level
Drey Wright - anyone who Tommy Wright thinks is the best he's seen is a worry
James Scott - you are simply trolling if you think he is a good player
Jamie Murphy - my iceberg lettuce is more resilient than that lad's hamstrings
Gogic - there's a reason he was at relegated Hamilton
Nathan Wood - panic signing
Stephen and Paul McGinn - never, ever good enough for Hibs

And we still rely on Lewis, Hanlon and McGregor.............

How much salary is that ? The recruitment team at Hibs are awful - plain and simple.

That recruitment team is gone along with the manager who agreed to sign them, Campbell came through our youth set up.

I agree. Second half was dreadful and needs improvement in every department. I’m not sure if Maloney will turn out to be a dud or not but I’m happy to give him a few more games than six to prove his worth.

If we lose to Hearts I'm 100% Maloney out. If it was good enough for the guy who got us 3rd and 2 finals in a row it's good enough for Maloney.

He'll get 8. Lose the next 2, he'll never recover

Said it at the time Jack Ross had enough credit in the bank from last season to have been given more time to turnaround the bad form. He also got us to another cup final with one of the best performances in the semi in recent memory.

Nothing from Maloney so far suggests he will be a better manager than Jack Ross for us.

[Callum_62]

I do have concerns about Maloney

Ross was sacked for a poor run of form but we were rarely totally deviod of ideas

Yes some tweaking was required to the set up but I think Maloney might be making the classic mistake of trying to change too much too quickly

You give him 7 games? Wow! Good for you!

Totally agree with this mate, the change needs to be gradual or it will end in tears, at times the players look very lost especially when the opponents change their shape mid game

I was making the point that Josh Campbell, regardless of how he ended up in the side, is simply not good enough - he's not even the best youth prospect so I'm baffled as to why he gets into the first team squad.

[Keith_M]

Square pegs in round holes is Maloney's problem.

Need to get the players to play to their strengths (I presume they must have some)

[Skol]

This is getting tough. We are a poorer side now than we were under the manager we sacked

I actually thought early on there were some positive signs. He had tweaked the formation and appeared to have learned to adapt. I don’t understand why newell was dropped and why Campbell played. I liked the look of Mitchell. Second half we saw more of the nisbet we want as well.

Some of the changes were strange and second half we seemed to go back to the preferred maloney shape that just doesn’t work. Defending at the goals was shocking and what Mackey was thinking at the first goal I don’t know

Lots of work for maloney and Tuesday is now massive and a must win. Although it’s hard to see how we can win and I actually feel we could be on the end of a bad defeat.

He’s good at the manager chat with talk of ‘moments’ and ‘action’. They must all do the same coaching courses.

Playing a back five should be reserved for when you are playing a superior team and want to absorb pressure and try and attack on the break. You don’t play like that against poorer teams especially at home.

Smurf out

We need to settle on a best 11, all the chopping and changing really can’t help the players gel in our new style.

until we sign someone in the middle of the pitch who win the ball and drives forward, I’d be tempted to play Porto in there.

Macey
Rocky hanlon Doig

cadden Porto Mitchell

mueller Henderson

doidge Nisbet

That isn’t a midfield 3, that selection along with doig in a back 3 would get a doing most weeks

Thats not how a back 5 or 3 works. They are not more defensive or offensive than anything else. All about execution.

Youve got fo be kidding? First bad day a few weeks into his job?
I’m glad i’m no you.

[Keith_M]

Going by what I've seen of us since Maloney arrived, we have no chance on Tuesday.

Not joking at all. He was desperately out of his depth today. Team was a total shambles 2nd half.

look at all the top bosses in the world, every one of them has an air of confidence about them and they all look like they would be "nutters" in the changing room.

stein, fergie, robson, mourinho, klopp, pep, ancellotti, conte, simeone, zidane, van gaal,

would you mess with any of those names.

We are all allowed a vote on this site,

Maloney was a magnificent player and professional,
He has coached kids and held the towels for Martinez,
so It was a massive coin toss to make him a Hibs manager and expect miracles straight out the box.

It will be trial and error this year,
enjoy the wins and suck up the upcoming disasters.

I will save the expectations for next season,
and I hope he does really well for us.

I hope Ron hasnt installed an ejector seat in the managers office.

Support the Hibs.

Hearts will press us and be in our face. They turn up usually when we are in general the better side.

We are not a team right now and lack personality. It's not going to be nice on tuesday.

I genuinely wonder what he said to make the Hibernian board think he was the best person for the job.

At least Cathro had Potter bigging him up.
