"anything you get is a bonus, it's the results against the other 9 teams that count"
most telling line , beat before we start. its OK to get beat cos we don't expect anything , prepare the groundwork for nothing and get nothing
There aren't many better jobs to be sacked from than football management. It may or may not be short sighted , Hibs waited too long to punt Butcher and paid a heavy price. Many of our fans think if we hadnt changed manager at the same time last year we'd have gone down. Robinson saved the club the decision and that was on the back of two cup finals in one season. Frankly what a manager did last year means sweet fuck all. Hibs should have been 3-0 down to us if we'd had our shooting boots on. They've taken something like 4 points out their last 27 and they are basically pish. Its easy to says its harsh but there's an argument for swift action especially in a league where it doesn't look like there is a racing certainty to go down and give the rest some breathing space. If St Johnstone win their game in hand on them they are 3 points off a play off spot in December, for a club of Hibs resources thats shockingi
I can see the argument for the names you mention particularly Sutton and Coyne but Stevie Kirk took 61 more games to score 4 more goals. However Im sticking with wee Dougie , as I said way earlier everyone will have their own favourites and reasons why.
he scored 59 goals in 240 games an average of one goal every 4 games , thats a good return over a long period. Sure others will be better but not over that number of games in the last 30 years
All terrific players but wee Dougie for me was just something a wee bit better. Consistent over a long career with us. Tony Watt , for me , is in that same mould. Others I'm sure will have their own choices.
yes he has plenty ability but is too keen to over elaborate and piss about, he wants to beat 3 / 4 men when the easy ball is on. His finishing when clear cut opportunities arise is mediocre over the season. Not saying hes not worth a place in the squad but big improvements required in parts of his game
We never would be holding onto Tony Watt with the kind of displays he gives us. Even signing a new contract doesnt change that, it merely ensures a better bargaining position for the club financially , the sad but truthful position for every SPFL club when they have a gem.
Great result and good performance in atrocious conditions, Woolery was outstanding and Tony Watt every bit as good. Watts work rate was incredible. No failures tonight. Kevin Van Veen should have had two goals possibly 3. He needs to give Ali Bongo his shoes back.
To be fair we've looked shite in the vast majority of games we've played but we have been very effective and scoring the chances we get but apart from two games we've been pretty consistently cack. Decent performances are rare.
Vast Improvement. That the first game since we played Hibs on the opener that we played some damn good football throughout the game. What a difference to win as well as watching football that doesnt make your eyes bleed.
our football is brutal, I've not called for the Mangers head I dont enjoy his style, I just subscribe to the notion we are invariably pish to watch every week.
Enjoyable for 10 mins, great result but we a re hard to watch. After the absolute pish of the previous 5 games the result was always going to be more important than the performance but we play some amount of mind numbing stuff.
of all the clubs who have been in the league for all those 19 years we are by far the worst. Its shameful and our record against Celtic is going the same way.
Killie were pretty much doomed by the time Wright took over he just inherited a bigger pigs ear than Alexander and Tommy Wright wont be out a job by January
Theres no question of him not being given time we are not the type of club to do kneejerk reaction. For me hes had a year and we are still watching mind numbing shite every week. I have no confidence he's the man yo change it. But what I think doesnt matter a fuck. Never mind Goss will be the best passer in the SPF or should that have been passenger
