Hearts1975 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 3 minutes ago, Bauld said: Our front players were absolutely burst. Boyce could barely walk by the time he came off. It's why we are still trying to sign another striker. We are short up front. Easy to say his subs were negative but our bench doesn't lend itself to maintaining a strong forward line. None of the subs we made are an excuse to blame Robbie for us losing a goal in the 95th minute. If we are using a back 8. That door should be welded shut! The players concentration dropped and they were punished for it. They didn't finish the game off earlier when we had numerous chances and we were punished for it. We needed some pace brought on up front. Even someone like ginelly. Could have caught them when pushing up We were far too deep but looked like we were trying to soak it up rather than press and get out. That's the issue I have with what happened at the end. Absolutely gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 No idea what we were thinking at that goal. They get the throw, 3 of their players sprint over. One of ours is there and he backs away into the box. Sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleyLegend3 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 8 minutes ago, Bauld said: Neilson will be made a scapegoat by a lot of the usual suspects but the reality is we should have been at least 3 up and out of sight by the 55th minute. Hibs chased the game until the end and got their reward for it. We didn't take our chances and got punished for it. Hibs weren't in the game for 80 minutes hibs are utter shite. We were the better team by far for 80 minutes. We never got out of second gear.. On this thread many posters were pointing out that we were sitting to far back. When we changed to an even more negative formation even I could work our hibs would get more of the ball and more chances. I'm no mystic Meg but it was so obvious what was going to happen.. So if a daft **** like me could work that out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Sibbick is definitely our Rocky. I know hes just a young guy but hes not offered anything positive since his return and just makes me constantly nervous. Pleased with McKay, Cochrane, Shankland (albeit looked shattered at the end) , Gordon, Haring, Rowles Halkett, Grant...meh. Dont think we won a single attacking header at a corner. Smith looked a bit more of his age today and struggled with the pace at full back. Boyce was poor again today. Offered nowt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 We were fine with 4-2-3-1. We looked as comfortable at 0-1 as it's possible to be. Yes, we should have scored in the second half but Neilson's changes to formation brought late disarray that even shite like Hibs couldn't pass up. Very disappointed. More so that we threw it away ourselves. Fu**********! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abiola Dauda Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I don't agree that the squad isn't good enough. Best squad since 2007/8 or arguably last season (because of Simms). Today's problems were purely from bringing on defenders and sitting back as we were on top before that. You can't invite pressure for 20 minutes regardless if how shite the opposition is. I like neilson and hopefully he's learnt an important lesson today. I don't think Sibbick is good enough in any position but he most certainly isn't a good enough centre back. We must give up on him as an option there. Probably a backup at DM/RB when we are playing minnows in cups but he's so meak and just can't play cb.

BervieJambo Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Collective disaster defensively - Sibbick, Rowles & Atkinson all to blame. But the real criminality is the amount of times we gave away possession, especially in the last 10 minutes. If you are trying to see out the game, you don't just aimlessly punt it up the pitch & give the ball back to them time & again. Much work to be done.

I like Robbie but he got it wrong in that second half. Have to agree. They wouldn't have had the freedom to keep pressing with Ginnelly's pace tp think about.
