Given the players at our disposal would have been best sticking with a back 4 - was pleased to see starting like that today.  The decision to change was a poor one, that said, we should have been 3 or 4 ahead before 60 minutes.

It was the missed chances that cost us. Any opposition are liable to get one good chance to equalise a one goal lead. We really should have been 2 up.

We did but blew our chances. MacKay twice, Shankland twice, Atkinson once.

If we had got the second they were gone.

We had chances to kill the game but didn't, we changed to a back five why? We invited Hibs on to us, same old Robbie never changes.

Typical reaction from some. Quite simply if Sibbick follows his man we win that game.

This with bells on!

Don’t understand why he changed it

their sole 

tactic was hoofing it and Halks  and Rowles were comfortable 

we invited pressure on and guess what happened

Of-course they’ll celebrate, we would too if we’d just snatched a point.

 

Feels like a loss, but onto next week 🇱🇻

He did and he needs to be more positive . I’m actually raging at the last 30 mins tactics

He's never won a Derby at Easter Road, get a ****ing grip, trying to spin a positive we just gave Hibs that draw, absolute loser mentality. 


He's never lost a derby at Hampden as player or manager. Try and spin a negative out of that?

 

Sibbick and Atkinson came on to gave us defensive pace. Unfortunately we were undone by poor positioning right at the death.

Why did we sit back? 

 

1 point is better than 0.

 

Move on.. 

 

FTh. 

 

I think we were sitting back to stop Boyle running in behind. The problem wasn't so much the sitting back as up until the goal we were dealing with everything comfortably but we'd left ourselves with nothing up the pitch, Hibs were committing everyone forward and we should have had Henderson or Ginnelly on to exploit the space they were leaving.

We created 3 great chances post formation change.

Shocking points to drop. We had plenty chances to kill the game off. Only ourselves to blame. Feels like a defeat.

He's getting the blame for tactically destroying any forward impetus we had.  Sitting back against that shower of long ball hammer throwers, fecking disgrace.

Sibbick wasted 4 throw ins during injury time. Shankland needs to win fouls and game would be won. Terrible last 5 minutes. Dreadful goal to lose. Move on .still undefeated

Yeah. Mostly the players fault, but think our subs were very negative and our change in shape coincided with shutting up shop for 30 mins.

Well, I am spewing. Shot ourselves in the foot today. Had to take those chances. Feels like a defeat. No idea why we didnt kill them off. Sat far too deep last 15 mins.

Neilson cost is the game by changing to a back 5. Almost got away with it but changing to a defensive system to try and hold onto a 1-0 lead is never a good idea.

Shite result against a shite Hibs team. RN managed to engineer 2 dropped points agains Lee Johnson’s League 2 cloggers.

That's alright then. :rofl:

 

Wow. We just drew with them so how you have come to that conclusion is madness.

 

County and Hibs we should be scoring more than 3 and conceding less than 2. Relegation fodder sides at best.

 

Have a word. 4/6 points. Very frustratingly not 6/6. We will look decent and will only improve. 

 

They were massively outclassed most the game. Barely laid a glove other than one header and a few decent crosses. 

 

Hearts were very, very wasteful and it felt like we stopped trying about the 50th minute. We are miles better than Hibernian.

 

And you are wrong about County. They are looking decent.

Sibbick is an awful, awful footballer.

I'm not sure he's awful. He is very lackadaisical. I feared the worst when he came on. 

 

Somehow we've contrived to throw away 2 points. That's very much on the manager today. He needs to shoulder responsibility for that nonsense.

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.

 

He's only getting stick because we were playing well and another goal or two for us looked on the cards then for no apparent reason he decided one was enough and threw on all the defensive players and sat back.

 

Top marks if it had worked, it didn't. We move on to the next one though 👍

All the idiots out in force now. Neilson MKII still undefeated in the Edinburgh Derby. 

And Neilson of any MK at Hearts still not won at Easter Road.

Injuries and some players can't play the original formation. Sibbick needs sold or given away for nothing.

By the way, Sibbick is shite. 
There, I said it.

Unfortunately I agree. Can only hope it's a low confidence thing.

Halliday should just foul him as soon as he tries to turn & Sibbick was just terrible on the front post. Only ourselves to blame for that, totally outplayed them but missed so many chances & then switched off 30 seconds from the end. 
 

Positives, still unbeaten in the derby since 2019, draw better than a defeat & we did look good up until the added time

Terrible decision to stop playing and defend with 20 mins still to go. We were well on top and our changes let them back in to it

Do big teams like celtic and rangers invite you to play your game at any point, or are you constantly having to deal with their game for the full 90 mins?

Thats the difference. 

 

Stinking tactics again. 

One nil is never enough. 

Two or three to play those tactics. 

 

He learns fxxk all

Absolutely no need for those defensive substitutions from Robbie.

 

In complete control until then. He needs to be far braver than that. Complete shitebag.
