Well it's back to the nitty gritty domestic matches after a reasonable attempt at Europa League qualification. I must say I'm not as enthused this time around as Euro matches were far more interesting. I'm also wondering if there will be any after effect following that unsatisfactory away performance in Molde when Hibs long, unbeaten run came to an end with the loss of some avoidable crappy goals TBH. I notice Hibs ex player/captain, Ian Murray, commenting that Hibs need to add some quality if we are gonna progress this season. IMO it's too early to say if that is the case and also I've stated I thought Neil was naive in not dealing with the threat of Molde's star player, Halland, and Hibs would not have lost in this way if I had my tactics and warnings imposed on the players from the off! Anyway it's done!
I'm expecting the manager to "freshen up" the team a wee bit and I think Horgan and Agyepong should be involved in this cup tie at some point. I'm interested in Hibs midfield performances now that John McGinn has left the club as I perceive that we are now a weaker team. Also Efe looks like he is injured. So a defensive change is likely. We need to strengthen our defence in some way with Darren Mac being injured for a while. I wouldn't mind seeing Ryan Porteous being played in a defensive mid role just to see how he handles it.
