In the first two games under maloney we looked better as we put pressure on the ball high up the pitch. This caused the opponents to lose the ball frequently. We seem to have given up on this tactic and reverted to the way Ross set up

Midfield has killed us all season. Not enough quality, not enough drive, no presence. Must be an absolute dream to play against.
If we don’t sign a midfielder by Monday, forget the rest of the season.

I just don't think the players he currently has at his disposal are capable of playing in the system he wants to play.

He needs to be far more pragmatic and realise that these players simply aren’t good enough to play the way he wants.

The folk stabbing him in the back tonight are the ones who didn’t rate him when he became our manager, they are sticking to there guns, fairy enough, I’m still backing Maloney to come good as you can see.

The passing from the back, the huge possession in our own half, the limited chances, the terrible defending and the utter terrible watch is not going to do him any favours. I can’t see him getting out of this anytime soon. The team look like a deer in headlights as does the manager, it’s an embarrassing watch considering Ross didn’t get the chance of his transfer window, injuries coming back and cup final. This is as bad as I’ve seen since Fenton/Butcher, we’ve no midfield at all.

if anyone wants him out already , then they have a different agenda .
He needs to get his finger out and get some wins - nothing to do with folk on here - we need some points

It is a worry that we look much worse after the winter break. I get rotation against Cove but why for example did we leave Newell on the bench for the full game today? Crazy stuff, when we’re throwing on the likes of Murphy and Scott

1) doesn’t know his best team
2) too many changes from game to game
3) we have got noticeable worse since the break where we should have got better given he’s had lots of time to work on things
4) failed to address the CM blatant imbalance and had all window to do so
5) not sure he has the fear factor for me all managers should have
6) if the philosophy was the right way why do not many teams play like this, ok on the continent when the games are slower and more technical why have better managers than him not played this way and been successful before
7) strange substitutions
8) you can be a good coach and great guy but that doesn’t mean it will translate to being a manager or even a good one
9) lack of plan B
10) not done himself any favours with the fans with some media and after match interviews
Just a bit of a brain dumb of some of the negatives I can see just now.
Regardless of any of the above the guy needs time and backing. Fans need to be patient as hard as that is, he’s learning on the job aswell we have to understand that and knew what we were in for when he was hired.
I really hope he does well as I like him, but more and more I see this season being a transition and likely more pain to come. Just hope it’s worth it for long term benefit, suspect large number of supporters won’t accept that but is what it is.

I don't think that the tactics were wrong or the style of play was bad, we executed what he wanted reasonably well and played quite well too.
However, Macey gave them a goal, they didn't even have a shot on target in the first half. Campbell has had a howler too, passing the ball directly to an opposition then not tracking back quick enough. Porteous was marking the guy for the corner and it should have been a bread and butter header out.
We are back to making basic mistakes that are costing us games, Nisbet is missing chances but we shouldn't even be in a position where that matters.
I will get pelters for this but Porto is the weak link in the defence, he is erratic and doesn't always do the basics well enough. We had been looking solid at the back apart from the Celtic game, but then we get a game like today and I dunno what to even say if you are the manager.
Murphy and Scott should not feature for hibs ever again.

I think Shaun needs to sign a quality experienced midfielder that can help to drive the team forward. With two days until the window shuts I've no idea who that might be though. If we stick with the current squad then the board are effectively writing off the rest of the season.

It seemed to be working with Boyle in the team though. We are missing him hugely.

I am moaning about him not being on the end of crosses and anticipating things better but equally it’s difficult to drop deep ball goes out wide and hes expected to get on the end of crossed. It’s the set up that’s wrong IMO

Rotating players and random subs is something I would expect in pre-season. This isn’t an experiment. Maybe rotate Rocky if he’s tired after Motherwell but he comes on after 22 mins then surely he’s fine to start ?
We don’t have the right players for this system - we don’t have good enough players centrally for most systems (or wanting to finish 3rd) - we need to stop letting teams score goals against us.
The spine of the team needs sorted and this is a Jack Ross / Mathie moment (not signing a striker to compete with Nisbet and Doidge -that was even before he was injured - let alone after!!) if he doesn’t sign a decent CM by end of the transfer window the 2nd part of the season will see same frustrating results.
