Long Ball Pish - HibeesBounce.com

I really dont understand why we play the long ball all the time when we had Sproule, Fletch, Thomo with great pace to run onto the ball then as soon as Konte comes on, a man with height so now we can play the long ball. We played it into space when Konte has no pace what so ever. Really cant understand this, bin the long ball and play it to space, we've got the pace!

IMO We never looked up for it at all.. Look at our body language when we were doing the warm up before kick off.. very lethargic.. Then we find ourselves with a shadow of the team who have played so well in the earlier part of season.. All week we were saying "is he or isnt he playing" I dont think the players never believed they could win.. so many changes and injuries to a team on the big day. Oh how we missed Brown and Boozy through injury and Deek suspended.. Even Killen was a massive miss yesterday. I AM DOWN LIKE MANY HIBS FANS sad and a bit angry.. We need to sort out our goalkeeper and defence (Murphy apart) MR PETRIE... Tony Mowbray can only work with the limited depleted squad he has.. Resigning Riordan would be a good start(and no more rumours for a start!!!) and stop the long ball!!!
