Ministry Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It probably is the best Hibs side in the past 10 years. And I fear they may continue to improve under Lennon if they make a few decent signings in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It should have been ten Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Take McGeouch out that team and they are average. Forget the McGinn pish, it's McGeouch that makes them tick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The first part of what he says is correct though. This is an exceptional Hibs team, one of the best in my lifetime (38). And they're 4th. An exceptionally good Hearts team would be up there truly challenging. We're as bad as we've been in a long time, they're as good as they've been in a long time and there's not that much between us in the grand scheme of things. 2 league places, and they've not beaten us by more than 2 goals in this "domination" in fact only by more than 1 twice. And we put them out the cup. But they're an exceptionally good team. For Hibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hibs won a lot of battles in midfield but failed to do anything with it most times as they continually look to fall down. Allan at Dundee didn't fall down but couldn't stand up last night. That saying, Hibs were the better team last night but that was mainly down to us being so poor than them being exceptional.

Debut 4 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Exactly. You'd think they were comfortably top 3. And the range he picks is Hearts teams in the last 20 years? What about the ten before that? Hibs have never been a consistent top 4,5 team in the last 40 odd years and have produced maybe 3 reasonable teams from nowhere who never lasted long. Its typical Hibs propaganda when they produce a half decent team. They talk as if they have always been good. Numerous Hearts teams post-1984 would defeat this Hibs lot no problem. EDIT:-.

gowestjambo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 They have assembled a well balanced team, that have taken recent games to rangers and celtic.

queensferryjambo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I don't get it. Didn't Hibs have a 'golden generation' team that was their best since the 70s? Brown, O'Connor, Riordan, Whittaker, Murray, Thomson, Fletcher etc they were miles better than the team Hibs have on offer just now - and we beat them at Easter Road in both the league and the Scottish Cup and it wasn't is 97/98 or 2005/06.

All Out Attack Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The league table never lies. Hibs are a good team and a huge 12 points plus a game in hand ahead of us.

Grappler McGregor was at it again last night and got away with his usual pulling and shoving and grabbing. Anyway, I think it's the way the game is played now and lack of quality upfront across the SPL. Hanlon and Stevenson have been shown up for long enough in Scottish football , now they've looked like Baresi and Maldini lately. Partly I think what's in front of them has taken the heat off them but also teams not going up tight against them enough. Killie did lately and showed what happens when you put them under pressure. We are guilty as much as anyone of giving them an easy ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hibs team you mentioned weren't exceptional every one of the players mentioned were off the average age of 20 if that when they played together and if they could have kept them all ie man utd 92 then I've no doubt that side could have been exceptional The team they have now is decent nothing more and are liable to broken up by next season (hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Hibs are in the league at the moment is still below the standard of where we should be.

Elias Henry Furst Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 MIles ahead of us and I don’t think Lennons a good manager. An utter embarrassment when you look at both squads. We have our yearly ‘rip it up and start again’ approach to building a squad to look forward to this summer though. I don’t expect many on here to agree of course.

Locky Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 To describe a team in 4th as ‘exceptional’ is bizarre. That they are not. What they are however, is a decent side who are galvanised and are run by a manager who knows how to get the best out of them and get them motivated for big games. We showed brief glimpses of that ourselves in December, but ultimately, the mediocrity in the squad is shining through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out the championship season, the last five season's in the top league have seen hearts achieve a position of forth or above just once and it looks like the same again this season. If it worked on "where we should be", there would be no point taking part in league's and cup's as there would be the same outcome every season.

It's so odd. Playing the top six clubs in the league, Hibs have won twice at Ibrox, scoring five goals, took four points from Steve Clarke's Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, scoring five goals, lost one out of three against Celtic and that was by a single goal, took seven points out of nine [would have been nine if Shaw's goal was given] against Hearts, the only real blemish was getting hammered by Aberdeen at Pittodrie, which was reversed last month in Edinburgh and this was achieved by a newly promoted team, perhaps that might explain the praise.
