Agree with previous poster,defence a bit ropey,2 cb maybe still to gell,another thing and maybe its just me,the chant of so fuxxing easy didnt sit well with me especially with fans being made welcome and hb players off to bed for their daytime jobs.

Indeed, it would be nice to maintain some humility on our European travels

Safely through but can't help but feel that a better team would have punished us tonight. Plenty to work on and still some match sharpness to come. Onwards and upwards. Looking forward to league business returning at the weekend. COYW!

Hibs level on Agg after 15 mins should be tough game For us this weekend

Not if it goes all the way ET  then PKs

Job done, nervy early on and RCC soooo frustrating ( until great 2nd goal).   Sloppy at times but this is a new team so still gelling  I think Williams will be a great signing. 

Watched in new century with my mate, really busy and good buzz

With luck they might have extra time

Hibs were always favourites for me in this Euro tie, even after their loss last week.

I can't say that I heard that, but you're right, it isn't a good look. I know that it's a bit of banter, but our fans should be more respectful of the opposition.

That said, let's not take anything away from the display. Given the lack of resources and the upheaval, AJ has done well to get a tune from the team in such a short time. Progress through the rounds is a nice little money earner, and great for the fans. Long may it continue.

Of course, the real test will come on Sunday, when we play a team of equal standard.

If 'so fucking easy' is the worst behaviour from the trip then the fans have done well.

 

All aboard the bible bus 🙏 🚌

If "don't be an arse to your inoffensive hosts" is too high a bar, then I suppose so.

Hibs have a wee scare on for the last five or so.

Age of tonight's goalkeeper, back four, and midfield..

24

23 22 25 22

23 25 19

Bit of disorganisation in the defence could be put down to them having not played together much but I'm concerned that a slight lack of an experienced organiser either in defence or midfield might also be a factor.

Maybe age isn't necessarily a factor, it's leadership. Both games I felt lke there wasn't anyone being particularly vocal. Likes of Watt, Welsh, McGinn and even Slattery were there last season. Maybe it'll come with the likes of Moorman when he settles in but I'm putting the shaky defence down to that lack of am organiser rather than individual abilities....

To be honest the chanting from support doesn't bother me. Would be more annoyed if flares let off

These fans paid a lot of money for this trip so total respect 

[joewarkfanclub]

HB came out the blocks flying as you would expect with their home record, but we settled quickly and after the first 10 minutes dominated the ball and the game.

You can see that the team is still new and finding its feet with a few stray passes giving HB more encouragement than they needed. Paulsen and the 2 centre backs still dont feel 100% comfortable, but that will come.

Overall it was a very impressive performance and I think we are miles ahead of where we were this time last season.

Loads of room for improvement but with Longelo and Cookie now looking ready, Maswanhise getting minutes off the bench and Lowry now available for selection, things are looking promising.

Will be a step up in class next week, but with a wee trip to Easter Road on Sunday, I would expect us to be ready.

Just no more injuries please!
