Hibs v Saint Mirren, Wed 5 Dec 2018, KO 7.45pm - 0762 - 02-12-2018
Well we'll find out if Hibs are gonna continue their poor form "in the doldrums" or if some of our players are gonna "lead by example" and start battling into some kinda positive position in order to "push on" from there. We need a reaction!!! We also need an identifiable pushy skipper (and others) to prompt the players v opponents that they can definitely beat. I notice David Gray was fit but not risked v Killie on that shit artificial surface that can damage players quite badly - a wise move! Lets see the "legend" back in plus hopefully a Kamberi return. IMO Horgan is worth a shot in Hibs midfield in a hi press formation. Do it Neil or risk a very precarious journey through Hibs' festive fixtures!!!

Each one of our past half dozen games has been looked upon as being vital to the confidence for the rest of the season but now St Mirren stand between us and a return to some decent form. On our early season form we should win by a couple of goals and this scenario would come as a great relief to our suffering fans.

Well I watched bbc highlights of the Buddies home defeat by the Accies! IMO we are in big trouble if we lose to this team! I notice that David Gray's muscle injury has recurred - he could still be fit but it is "touch n go".

Losing 1-0 at half time and we are in real trouble. If we lose this I can only see us picking up points from the upcoming Hearts game and even then it could only be a single point. How can you go from being potential Europa qualifiers to potential relegation strugglers in only 6 games?. The answer is simple - you lose your form and as a result 5 of the 6 games.

That is the "trade off" as predicted in one of my August threads - happens to most Scottish footie clubs that get caught up in Euro footie and are not geared for it!
FT 2-2 and Hibs cannae beat either Dundee or Saint Mirren and drop 4 pts in the process - utter crap! Noticeable that two young ex youth dev players score the goals!!! What happened to our experienced guys!

What on earth is going on??? Did Bogdan not watch Hamill's goal against Hearts???
In my opinion Neil Lennon has taken his eye off the ball since the Hearts game and so have the players. Focus on the football because that's your job.

Bogdan let us down badly last night. That said too many of our big players are not "putting in a shift" as garry parker put it last night.
We are badly lacking some drive in the middle of the park, not surprising considering the players we have lost.

Re Neil Lennon, note that Gary Parker has been doing all the pre and post match interviews for a while. There is something not quite right as I've previously commented.

he's not happy with the media reaction following what happened at tynecastle I feel. I'm beginning to think he has lost the dressing room, but I hope I'm wrong and he turns it around.

hibeejim21,
If Neil Lennon has lost the dressing room the team would not have fought back twice last night and we`d lose 2-0. I think we lost a lot of confidence after the Celtic game having put so much into our performance and getting no return for it. We were the better team playing the better football and still took nothing from the game. Even some of our fans are on a downer but a victory will change that, we are making chances every game and a little bit of good fortune coming our way will see some team get a hammering from us. We all live in hope.
