Hibs v Motherwell

[theoldman]

Well thought it was ground hog day after the first half hour and we carried on from where we left of against Utd.
If someone had said hibs would lvel the game at 0-2 I would have bit their hand off for it.
What a difference in the second half more like the display they were turning out after the fist few weeks of Tel and Maurice in charge.
Cool finish from Heffernan to put us up 3-2.
At 2-2 the worry was that well would get the winner ans sods law they score in extra time to deprive us of the three points.
Hope tel can bottle that second half display and keep some for the Caley and Partick games.

Gutted not to have won, and if you'd told me at half time I was going to say that id have laughed at you.

I thought in the end we deserved the full points.

Their second goal was outstanding, done Nelson like a kipper and what a finish.

Ratings:

1st Half:

Williams - 5 - Nothing he could do.

Forster - 4 - dreadful but scored

Hanlon - -1 - shocking

Nelson - 0 - pish

McGivern - -2 - Shocking pass cost the first goal.

Stevenson - -3 - Just dreadful

Craig - 1 - pish

Stanton - 6 - best player

Cairney - 4 - drifted

Collins - 4 - poor

Haynes - 6 - played ok.

2nd Half:

Williams - 6 - spectator most of it, couldn't do anything for the goal

Forster - 7 - Much more confident going forward, and more solid in defence

Nelson - 7 - Solid, good goal looked dangerous at corners.

Hanlon - 8 - SUperb, where were you in the 1st half?

McGivern - 7 - worked his balls off, was all over the pitch getting in folks faces.

Cairney - 7 - Looked like the Cairney of old, good shift.

Stanton - 7

Williams- 5, thought he could have dived on the cross for the first and third.

Forster- 7, very decent going forward, gets caught out a bit at the back but very good threat and will only improve
Hanlon- 8, poor first half, solid second
Nelson- 6, okay, good goal
McGivern- 7, trying to play it to feet more, giving it away sometimes but at least he's trying rather than punting it now, few lovely balls down the line.

Stanton- 10, decent first half, but when Craig pushed on a bit in the second, he done a lot of unseen, getting stuck in dirty work, as well as beating his man then releasing it. Terrific.

Craig- first half 3, breaks it up but done nothing with the ball. second half 7, much improved, started lively, few nice passes and good talking, needs to be played higher up

Stevenson- 6, worked his socks off but got no joy

Cairney- 9, 3 assists, 5 nutmegs.

Collins- 8, play him and Heff. let Collins do Heffs dirty work.
Haynes- 6, had the right idea just his touch wasn't up to standar
