Definitely a welcome 3 pts and IMO Hibs played well for half of the game. However, they were exposed on both flanks far too often for my liking and I fear we may face a similar defensive season as last although thankfully the guys in the centre and defensive mid "battled" well to ensure we attained a victory. I liked Gogic putting in a "good shift" from back to front. I must also mention Stevo for a bit of praise on a terrific defensive block to stop a certain equalising goal in the second half. But on the "down side" Doig being "ripped" by an experienced winger called Chris Burke followed by Stevo replacing him and similarly not dealing with the threat although "sticking to the task". Time to tempt somebody like Stephen O'Donnell to play at ER? Lastly, one comment re the ref, Beaton - why on earth stop the game for a Power foul on Horgan(?) when Hibs have swiftly attacked the Killie goal in a 4 on 1 situation?????? The score was 2-1 at the time and advantage to Hibs surely - an idiot who occasionally does this to Hibs when he is the match official!!!!!!!
