While admitting he would dearly love to re-enter the top flight of Scottish football after taking the Championship title, Stubbs conceded it would be difficult to overhaul table-topping Capital rivals Hearts ? presently 16 points clear of his side ? although he believes Robbie Neilson?s outfit can still be caught. Predicting that the obvious improvement shown at Hibs since the start of the season will continue into the second half of the campaign, Stubbs said: ?I honestly think we should be at least nine points better then we are, I really do. ?From some of the games we have not taken points that we should have done, I feel we are a nine-points-better team. ?But the most pleasing thing for me is I feel we are improving. We are getting a head of steam up. I think the players really believe in everything we are doing and I think they feel the strongest they have felt for a long time. Physically and mentally they are very fit and when you have got that sometimes it can make my job a lot easier.? Asked if he believed Hibs can regain the nine ?dropped? points, the head coach replied: ?If I were to say we have done fantastically and have been great then I would not be saying the right thing because if we were fantastic and great then I would say we should be top of the league. We have probably crept into that seven out of ten category but I want a higher score than that come the end of the season. ?I believe we can get promotion. I am not going to sit on the fence, I honestly believe we can get promotion because there?s two teams that can go up and I hope that we are one of them.? While a play-off place would appear the most promising route for Hibs, Stubbs revealed that while it will be difficult, he believes Hearts, despite their commanding position, remain ?catchable.? He said: ?I would like to be going up as champions, there?s no denying that. I think Hearts have done great up to now. They have been very impressive, their start has been enviable, what every team would have wanted. I?m not going to lie, but we have to keep chasing them. ?I think the teams below them have at times helped them because of their results but they have carried on, kept winning, kept focusing and they have been very impressive.? However, Stubbs, who hopes to cast an eye over American striker Jack McBean next week as he prepares to strengthen his squad again in the January transfer window, insisted Hearts aren?t yet out of sight. He said: ?They can be caught. It?s going to be difficult because of what has happened but they can definitely be caught. ?I would presume that they will strengthen in January as well so we will all be in the same boat.?

AndrewB Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I've been thinking about this and worst-case scenarios etc. We aren't quite at halfway point of the season, but nearly. We have been nearly perfect results-wise. Hibs have been average - a bunch of wins, a bunch of defeats, a bunch of draws. Let's say we are Hibs-average in the second part of the season. We would have to have quite a slide to get there, but let's play along and say it might happen. To catch us, they will then need to be nearly perfect. Is that going to happen, Alan? Really?

travellingjambo Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hahaha, there's a guy on sisterworrier.net on the "back to back wins" thread (you know the one where they've just realised that they haven't won back to back games all season, I know, shocking in this division) who reckons that is why they're so far off the pace at the top of the league (no sh*t Sherlock). I don't have the heart to break it to him that they're actually closer to the bottom of the league than they are to the top. I'd actually pee myself if they went the whole season without back to back victories. Stubbs could then claim they were nearly almost the best team every second week.

Francis Albert Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I also love this idea that we are unbeaten and clear at the top because the teams below us have helped us. It takes the Hibbie philosophy to a whole new level. We clearly won the semi in '06 and the final in '12 only because Hibs helped us. They deserve all the credit let's face it.

Durham Jambo Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Obviously had a wee bit too much Christmas cheer to drink before the interview. They'll never catch us this season. They will be struggling to have matched our current points total by the end of March at the rate their going. I fancy us to pick us some more points between now and then. I would still like to see them promoted for three obvious benefits: 1 - We get to keep the derbies and the obvious fun they provide. 2 - Hibs keep Stubbs who keeps them in their rightful place of being pants. 3 - The Rangers don't get promoted.

maroonshrew Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I hate that "we should be x points better off" that gets spouted, including when our managers have done it. You can fantasise about penalties going in, red cards not being given and shots not hitting the post and give yourself extra points (I presume he includes our equaliser) but that logic implies that no other teams have similar stories. We should be 2 points better off really using that same nonsense. Its playground stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
