    Just didn't look interested from the kick off and the result was never really in question. 

    Our last 22 league matches, or 2 full rounds of 11 matches.

    As you can see we've been living off the first 10 matches of the season for a while now, in fact the first 10 matches still account for more than 50% of our season points total.  

    Home form is desperate as well, 3 wins in the last 13 home league matches.

    As it stands Robinson actually has a poorer league win ratio than McGhee's second stint at the club and I feel as if he's been lucky to have 'feel good' cup wins interspersed through out the season other wise his record might be attracting sterner criticism. 

    Cup runs are fine but our league form is nowhere near good enough nor was tonight's insipid display.  Big improvement needed. 

     

    That’s unbelievable Ya bezzer ,I know we’d been rank rotten in the league for a while but I didn’t think it was that bad.  Cup runs keeping Robinson sweet with the fans as you  say. Let’s be honest we’ve had some great days out but it’s been mostly awful.

    Mate of mine just posted that this was an opportunity for getting revenge for the Texaco Cup loss in 1971.

     

    Bearing a grudge or what!!!

    Sure we got revenge a few seasons later when we beat them in the same Tournament , but that didn't, and I don't think anything ever will make up for that cruel loss in 1971 .Its like a death time heals but doesn't erase......sorry for sounding so morbid guys.

  3. The swiftness with which some almost gleefully seize upon when things doesn't go our way can at times lead you wonder if the criticism is genuine or simply the continual manifestation of a deep-rooted dislike or lack of belief in players or management that really isn't going to change, come good times or bad. Seems there's a fair bit of the latter in evidence tonight.

     

    Ultimately we've lost but from what I saw of it we weren't a million miles away at all. Nothing much in it in the first half and totally dominated the second.

     

    What we didn't do was defend as we could have and were as clinical as Hibs were in front of goal.

     

    Hibs dominated possession in the first half. I would expect no less them being at home but Carson was hardly faced with a barrage of efforts.

     

    I have a little sympathy for the team for the first. It appeared to be something of a miss-hit shot and was partially cleared by a stumbling defender. No question about the vociferious finish though.

     

    The second was poor though. Boyle was able to amble up the wing and take his pick from two or three Hibs players waiting to have an effort on goal.

     

    I thought we responded pretty well after conceding the second. Arguably we could have made the positive changes more quickly than we did but whilst Hibs, of course, had no reason to chase things further, there was only one team in it thereafter.

     

    Good anticipation and finish from Main and he continues to impress not only with his strike rate, but work-rate and link up play too. It was a pity he just wasn't able to snatch a point with the effort tipped over at the death.

     

    An opportunity lost to pick up a point certainly, but nowhere near as bad as some of the stuff I've read earlier in thread would have you believe.

    A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
