Yup, I've generally thought he's dreadful but he's doing pretty well.

If he can do the whole game as a defender against Youan, without having a brainfart and selling the jerseys that will be progress.

His contribution going forward has never been in doubt.

He is too eager to move towards ball at times and loses sight of where he is in relation to space and opposition.

This is ****ing garbage from both sides. 

 

Nothing has been learned from us, we're still mincing around at the back with the ball, can't pass it more than twice without losing possession, and then when we get near the box, we're still afraid to have a go and would rather wait for Hibs to get 10 players back in the box and then put a cross straight to the goalkeeper.

Bit meh. 

 

Expected a much better performance than what we've seen so far. 

 

Our midfield is honking. Utterly honking.

Toby and McKay looking really good. Impressed by Atkinson so far. 

 

Our final ball isn't great though. Just need a bit of luck. 

 

Got to say, this is reminding me of one of those edinburgh derbies in the run where there were so many draws.

rudi must stay

You can see Naismith has taken over a nervous team. Took them back to basics like Levein did, and he has got a shift out of Barrie McKay. Very encouraging half

Much better at times but when McKay has the ball the other players all make the same run, one needs to take wing, one inside centre back and other hang outside box but several times three forward players are all trying to get into wing position

Playing better than lately, McKay unleashed and doing fine too. 
 

More of the same second half, Humphrys for Forrest at some point though.

All roads lead to Gorgie

So hibs have piled on all the pressure in the first half if Rob McLean is to be believed.🤣

A few players still low on confidence and not really grabbing the opportunity. Need more from Grant, came into it last 10. McKay has done well. We are better than them if we can get rid of the nerves.

We had a very dodgy spell in the middle of the half, but improved towards the end. Need to batter these ***** in the second half.

Two shite teams. Thankfully I have confidence in Sibbick today. Him, Atkinson, Rowles and McKay get pass marks along with Clark. Kingsley can't jump anymore and his crossing is meh. Devlin has got stuck in but our midfield is meh. As for Forrest, feck me!

Survived their usual 100mph blitz.

We'll get stronger as they start blowing oot their erses.

 

Please, please make some subs on the hour mark.

They know to pump it long and we will make a mess of dealing with it.

 

A bit better all round performance but nowhere near good enough. Our midfield is poor. McKay showing up, maybe been allowed to play his own game

A few more shots would be nice. You never know when a deflection will be a positive. We’ve given up loads of $#!tty goals through deflections.

Without wanting to jinx it.. I can’t remember Atkinson having many better games so far tbh. 

Atkinson Grant Mackay and Clark all playing well the rest ok and for me better performances than the last two months.

McKay our best player. Atkinson making an attacking difference.

 

Cant believe we’re still pissing around at the back. Rowles looks a bit off.

 

Massive 45 mins coming up…

The Mercer Takeover

Reasonable first half.

 

Grant and Halliday are just a waste of jersey and contributing nothing.

 

Defense looking excellent so far and Sibbick brilliant.

We look better going forward.   More relaxed in possession.   Still some problems at the back moving the ball around.   Throw-ins still slow but that's down to who's throwing it.   The movement is minimal. 

 

Shooting towards the Hearts' fans in the second half.   It's coming, I can feel it.

Well, held our own, mostly. Shankland struggled to get on anything.

Main decision for me is twist stick Kingsley/Cochrane.

Dont think we can do much better in CM midfield unless its Haring for Devlin as i think they are going to target the wee man 2nd half. That said Halliday will run out of legs but could spring a goal.

BM needs to get that RB sent off, please!

Has Forest done enough to keep SH and GK on bench....

I've been an advocate for Forrest but I would bring on Kuol and partner him up with Atkinson.

Yes, time to see what Kuol can do

Who would have thought at start of season Toby Sibbick would be our best player! Need his drive in middle of park.
