v Hibs (h)

[tHeArAb]

We have been very unlucky with our squad availability and im willing to cut a bit of slack. The club were massively short sighted and nieve in our striker recruitment though. For having one of the best defences in my lifetime we have by far the worst bunch of strikers/fowards ive seen.

This is such a frustrating point as well. To think where we could have been if we had any kind of decent strikers at the club.

6th?

Managed to catch the highlights and punditry.

1st goal is offside, although I initially thought it looked on.

Goals 2 and 3 a couple of fortunate deflections.

But if you don’t compete, then you won’t get the benefit of decisions and lucky deflections.

Glass seems to be the creativity we have been longing for, have Scotland got any friendlies coming up, if that is just a glimpse of the potential, then we have a player. Can he and Mochrie play in the same side?

Not in a two man midfield, but in a three man midfield then yes, Glass is the playmaker and Mochrie is the one driving from midfield. Add in Fuchs as a ball winner and you have a well balanced midfield

Totally agree with this and would love to see it. Dont think it will happen as Harkes always sees to get crowbarred in even thou he is guff

Agree with alot of the narrative above, in terms of - we need to get our season back on track!! Want to make two points;

Refereeing -
Ok we have had one or two at most go for us, eg Aberdeen, but by far the majority of decisions by referees/assistant referees have gone against us.
V Hibs in Premier Cup, game was in balance and perfectly good goal by Pawlett was chalked off for offside!
v Hibs yesterday, Nisbet was a yard offside when he put the ball in, and we all knew it at the time and Sportscene last night backed this up.
In the second half the same assistant flagged Nicky Clark offside when he was IN LINE.
This official is an incompetent idiot, like how on earth can you flag someone offside when he was in line and it didn't matter - and yet NOT FLAG SOMEONE WHEN THEY WERE OFFIDE AND SCORING A GOAL.
As officials you simply have to get these decisions right and too many are going against us!!

2nd point - Communication from the club
Like what on earth is happening with
Levitt - we haven't seen him since the end of October - and his absence has co-incided with our disastrous dip in form - is he in Timbuktu? We haven't heard a word on why is he out, what injury does he have, is he going to play for us again?
McNulty - what is going on with him - as has been said taking up a large wage and contributing nothing
Biamou - like, what is going on with him????
Communication to the fans about this issue and keeping fans in the loop must improve, and questions must be asked by interviewers on Arabzone.

As a club, where we should be is top 6, in terms of fan base, and really only Motherwell are above where we should be - so all is not lost, it has been a terrible run, and not helped with all these injuries, COVID incidents and as I say above - the SFA clearly hate us because there have been a few games where huge decisions going against us.

Let's keep the faith, keep backing the team and hopefully better times are around the corner in 2022!

Didn’t manage to get logged on for the game yesterday but did watch the highlights on Sportscene, the one thing in common throughout all the matches was slack passing which resulted in the oppo scoring. Might be a good idea for all coaches to concentrate on passing the ball correctly.

Excellent post tck

Rumours circulating now that Levitt & Courts have had a fall out and that he's on his way back to Man Utd. Now this may be true, or it may be utter bullish!t, but these kind've rumours start because fans are kept in the dark, put 2+2 together and come up with 74. Our lack of comms has to be a deliberate action by the management for whatever reason, but the fans surely deserve updates on the players that our season ticket money has helped buy/pay the wages of.

Thing is with Levitt, he pulled up in front of the fans during the warm-up on his comeback, so i have my doubts about that rumour,

But your point, and that of many others about lack of injury info is not helping. The same rumour emerged just before Butcher came back, and ironically probably came true in the aftermath!
