awadooningorgie2 Posted January 20, 2008 Is this Mixu's way......? Never seen so many aimless punts going straight to the goalkeeper or out of play. Things have obviously changed big time down Easter Road way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ivan Drago Posted January 20, 2008 Hibs tactics were clearly to get near the box, dive, then aim the resulting free kick at Plug's heid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Gosling Posted January 20, 2008 The best bit is that Jones kept taking most of the free kicks or long balls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobM Posted January 20, 2008 Jones isn't even interested in playing for them anymore. The laughable thing is that he believes he's capable of better. A Grade A huddy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stella_jambo Posted January 20, 2008 i couldnt get to the game today as i was working, but i did nip to the pub across the road for 20 mins in the second half and all i saw was boozy (and other hibs midfielders) passing the ball out of play, or well wide of there player. was it like that the whole game or just the 20 mins i was able to watch?

Hobo. Was much the same, apart from the last 20 mins where it just went long - out of play for a throw, a goal kick, or straight to Sir Steven Banks.

Still made the only real chance of the second half though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinydancer Posted January 20, 2008 I've seen that garbage countless times on Satan tv and Sky over the years. I could pick a team from the PUB to beat that shi9te!!! FTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedbump Posted January 20, 2008 For a long ball team, we sured knocked the ball about quite well, with purpose and style in the 1st half. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toxteth O'Grady Posted January 20, 2008 The best bit is that Jones kept taking most of the free kicks or long balls. I noticed that during the game and commented that it was a stupid thing to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wavydavy Posted January 20, 2008 Is this Mixu's way......? Never seen so many aimless punts going straight to the goalkeeper or out of play. Things have obviously changed big time down Easter Road way. It was all part of the Hearts tactics, put pressure on their wide players and Boozy and that forces their centre backs to try and make passes which they can't do with the end result they punt the ball up the park. So it was not so much Hibs tactics but ours that forced them into this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did we really set out to stop them or was it simply a fact that they are just p1sh?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is true if you recall the same tactic worked at Fester Rd in the 1-1 draw when we were rank in the first half but murdered them in the second.

boabyarsebiscuit Posted January 20, 2008 Hibs are rubbish. They can dress it up any way they like, "having" to sell players, new manager settling in, and so on. At the moment they are a poor excuse for a football side. However, as a no-nonsense centre back, I think Rob Jones does a job. You can get to him on the ground, but for long periods yesterday we didn't seem to see that. Maybe when we appoint a good manager we'll be able to play more on the oppositions weaknesses.

Hibs deserved to lose yesterday.They are a very poor side who have lost their last how many league games playing with flair?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
