Boyce going off was a turning point, losing a 2nd so quickly ended it Nielson was 30 minutes away from true legend status, take your negativity and ram it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't bring anyone else on and who could hold the ball up in their half allowing the likes of McKay to get on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halliphax Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Not much you can do when Rangers tactics just work better and they have mountains more fitness - soon as they started pressing our LBs and RBs every time they had the ball they pretty much clipped the wings of every attack we hoped to try (it’s not like we have much midfield to fall back on when this goes wrong). Nowhere near Neilson’s fault… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not make people Hibs fans or is it a comfort blanket for you to think that they are. Absolutely clueless. To get to back line, you need to get past their forwards and midfield. They changed half their team, then brought fresh players on for extra time. Their squad bigger and better than ours. That's why they hardly lose any games in Scotland, other than to Celtic, and got to s final in Europe Jeez, it isn't difficult to understand.

Debut 4 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Awful. He couldn’t motivate them but players share the blame too. Ok, we kept in the game until half time but did he go in and say we need to go and win? Change a little, add impetus? No, it was safe shite “hoping” something came off.

Your right, we should have forced Boyce to carry in playing, even if he couldn't move because he was injured. Who was the sub that was going to make the difference? Our squad simply isn't strong enough when key players are injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 He didn't have the players IMO. Boyce miles off it fitness wise, and no meaningful replacement. Its a sore one, but Robbie and the team have done well. I think against any other side outside the OF we'd have won. Its just one of those shitty things.

mellors1874 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Anyone that thinks the tactics were working until Boyce went off are having a laugh. We didn't press their back 4 at all the whole game. They overloaded the wide areas and it was 2v1 because Boyce and McKay didn't track back. We were lucky to even get to extra time. We will not win a major trophy with Neilson in charge. Golden chance today and he blew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
