Well this next fixture will be a tricky one for Hibs - the usual threat of a shit artificial surface plus the home team are familiar with this pitch and how to play well on the surface. I hope JR chooses players who are reasonably comfortable on this pitch and just "go with it" and, fingers crossed, we avoid any nasty injuries. It would be nice to pick up another 3 pts and lay down a "marker" of intent to attain as high a league position as possible but we need to play well and focus on the movement and bounce of the ball. C'mon Hibs!

Thought we were better today and horgan and Nisbet ran riot.
Livi looked a shadow of last seasons side with efe playing wide left? And Big marv put in a shocking challenge on one of our boys, was it Boyle?
Anyway top of the league, the only downer being those muppet fans who gathered outside the ground. Morons.

Aye! That was a shocking tackle on Paul Hanlon and big Marv lucky not to pick up a red card. I think there is a big issue re the activities of away footie fans esp following that Aberdeen debacle! What is happening is certain away fans are travelling and also drinking en masse in local pubs, no social distancing while watching live matches of their teams. The biggest offenders are Rangers and Celtic (not the only ones btw)! This issue needs to be redressed pronto - TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE DURING THIS PANDEMIC PERIOD OF CRISIS!

The fans outside could start to become a real problem. sturgeon is no fitba fan and she'd happily shut it back down again if she thinks it's getting out of hand.
I still think we are very far away from crowds in stadiums, underlined by those Aberdeen players antics last weekend.
Doidge opens his scoring account as well and some vg Hibs performances from Doig and Horgan and Gogic again putting in an impressive shift. 0-3 at half-time and Hibs in "easy street" plus top of the Premiership tonight. We move on to Tannadice on Tuesday and no fears with this kinda early form although one concern re a limping Horgan late on in this match - Horgan one of the main providers of our goals today.
