But JR did change things when Melker and S McGinn came on, no?

You're bang on about Tanners Sky/hun background, its so painful to listen to. Personally think that comes down to having LD running the club. Not saying she deliberately chooses hunnish staff but she doesn't see the problem in doing so.

I think we tried to create a professional set up and he has a legit media background.
But how we haven't considered the fact that none of us will want to listen to him is very poor.

Theres plenty Hibs people they could have used or attempted to.

In fact, I would've happily passed on the professional media man for Hibs people. C'mon Hibs ??
 
Tanner is an insufferable twat, have had misfortune of meeting him a few times. McManus is dire too happily lose both of them

Unfortunately thats all he really has at his disposal, if Hallberg was any good he'd be starting games and if we had anything else in reserve we'd be bringing them on before him.

Its the reactive nature of the substitutions and a failure to anticipate what the opposing manager will do where my criticism lies.?

When the puddledrinkers named their team with Haring and Naysmyth on the bench my first reaction was that one or other or both are coming on with 25 minutes to go so we had better be ready for them and plan accordingly. We werent and didn't.?

When Hibs went 2:0 my second reaction after celebrating the goal of course was that Celtc season is now on the line as is Lennon's job and the wounded beast is going to go fkn Tonto as Celtc historically always do.

It was all to little to late as it was already 2:1 when Sir David came on at 80 minutes, Halberg at 85 minutes and McGinn at 89 minutes.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing though and managers are damned if they do or if they don't.?

Hibs were playing very well at 2:0 so why change it is the counter argument but my gut reaction at the time was that our midfield had struggled all game and that these last 15 minutes should have been anticipated.?

Frustrating but bigger picture is we’ve taken points from both OF teams at home,we’re clear 4th and only a point behind Aberdeen going into December.
We’d have taken that I reckon.

The sad fact is its merely a job to her

I’m assured by our fans rep she’s as pissed off when we don’t win as we are mate...

I worry that with the exception of our fans rep we as a club are full of people in key positions that aren’t Hibs and don’t get Hibs.

Its never going to be the same for her as us , i dont think so anyway

It can't be.

She might want us to win, but she can't feel it like a born and bred.
Some converts might, Ivan, Pat Nevin, but they've an emotional attachment, wearing the badge and a supporter son.

This is her job, she wants it on a professional level.

Guess only she knows the answer of how emotional she feels for us,the Rangers stuff flung at her is way off imo.

Got to agree with this. Celtic shifted to a 352 with the Duffy/Griffiths change c70 minutes. Considering they were 2-0 down you know they would push on and try to outnumber us in the middle of the park, so whilst at the point of the sub we were fairy comfortable I would’ve matched them straight away. Funnily enough I remember noting McManus saying at that point we shouldn’t change anything, and me thinking he was wrong.

Another general point to note is how the subs showed what a small squad we’ve gone with and how exposed this can leave us. We finished with a midfield three of Gogic, Hallberg and Stephen McGinn. We need to add strategically in January if we have any chance of maintaining our top 4 start.
 
Getting Scott Allan back fully fit would be a help.

What a miss he has been in the team.

At the start of this season he would have been seen as one of our best and key players. His health problem has means that same key player has been unavailable. I hope we can see him back in a Hibs jersey before the season is out.

Does anyone really know what the situation is with Scott Allan because when he first dropped out some of the stories going round were suggesting he wouldn't be playing football ever again?

I’ve heard quite a few times of separate people the stories of not playing again are true but time will tell I guess. Hibs must be doing some amount of tests for him to make sure the correct decision on his health is made for him before anything is announced

Aye a couple folk who I wouldn't expect to buy into gossip have said it looks like he might not again.

I've heard its a heart problem, but that could well just be nonsense.
Either way any announcements have to come when he's ready, would be wrong of us to announce anything without either him going first or a joint effort.

Shame of its true, because he is a fine player on his day, he deserves to get more years out of it.
I'm not sure coaching is in his future, but he could mentor and having dealt with diabetes in sport, he could do alot of good teaching potential athletes about managing it while competing.

I hope he comes out of whatever this is okay. Despite what's said about him and the end of his first spell here, he does actually seem a decent dude.
