Aye, disappointing sums it up - some of the decision-making by certain Hibs players in the 'final third' not good enough IMO and that's the reason we didn't score any goals today. Not enough guile attached to some players and therefore that lack of quality definitely missing! Stokes particularly 'kopped out' of some great scoring positions when choosing to pass rather then do what he's good at - taking the responsibility and scoring goals! Paul Hanlon was majestic in this match and it was encouraging to see that Hibs are getting closer to Aberdeen's level of performance in this top league but we need to find consistent form and positive results to match up. I never expected Hibs to win this home match TBF and that pessimism was based on Hibs previous abysmal league record v the Dons before relegation and yet our cup record in recent times v the same opponents is very good. Also worth mentioning a 19k+ crowd and Hibs really have to win these kinda matches to keep the 'extra numbers of hibees' interested - gotta earn that 'respect! Thankfully no great injury concerns recorded and we move on to a more challenging cup semi-final v the Hoops. Here's hoping Hibs 'show up' v record unbeaten opponents and 'give them a game'. Maybe that record will be 'busted' this time after Hibs being foiled recently in the last 10 mins at Celtic Park!
