Hibs 0-1 Brondby

[1875STEVE]

Well played Hibs.

Considering we are still in pre-season, we played very well and are still in this.

The Hibs chopped off goal was defo onside, and if the penalty decision was wrong, we have been done.

To lose that goal so early, to a goalie howler, was a sucker punch, feel sorry for Virtanen, he did make a couple of decent stops late on.

Just seen the banner, didn't see it at game, was sitting down from it, didn't know it was there. class.

The 50? or so Brondby fans were nuts.

Team

Virtanen - 5 - Howler for goal, made a couple of decent stops late on

Gray - 7 - Played well, looking good after summer break, that will hopfully got him over his injury.

Hanlon - 7 - Solid, struggled when put in midfield later on

McGregor - 8 - A beast. What a signing he has been

Stevenson - 7 - Got forward well, and defended well, despite being dwarfed by the biggest side ive ever seen

McGeough - 7 - Grew into game, but don't like him on the left.

McGinn - 9 - What a player.

Bartley - 6 - Love big Barts, but was off the pace today

Boyle - 7 - In and out the game, but I like his directness, and he never gives up.

Cummings - 6 - I thought he was quiet, but his goal was defo onside.

Holt - 8 - Big lump of player, holds the ball up well, excellent. Still dwarfed by their massive players.

Subs:

Fontaine - 7 - Never put a foot wrong

Keatings - 7 - caused them problems

Harris - 6 - Looked lively
