Note Saint Johnstone have not been beaten by Hibs at ER Stadium since 2012!!!!
IMO these are the kinda games that Hibs really should be winning at home and they aint been doing it for years - not good enough esp during this season and being in a league position close to the Dons! Re the continuously irritating poor form of Martin Boyle, I wonder what "fast Eddie" Turnbull would've done with him after months of observing his poor commitment for the team!!? It wouldn't be pretty to watch but I'd back him to motivate Boyly or else! Also what a good observation Jim re the events after JR's substitution of Gogic - the manager clearly lost an element of midfield control to Saint Johnstone and then a number of minutes later Hibs lost the second goal to a player who I was immediately alerted to being a goal threat when he came on as a Saint J sub - Wotherspoon!!! Of course, our manager doesn't have that historical knowledge of our ex-player!! Thankfully Paul McGinn "bailed out" the manager with his first goals for Hibs, a "brace"! Not so good in Hibs defence though Paul!! Re Saint Johnstone, my pre-match plan would've been to deploy a strategy to nullify the presence of McCann in their midfield area and I believe Hibs would've won this game pretty comfortably. You'll gather I am again unimpressed by Jack Ross and for good reason. Does this Hibs manager actually know what his best team is???? Anyway, one point is better than no points but note Hibs have not broken this poor sequence of bad results although Ross tried to do it by replacing Gogic with Doidge in a perceived positive attacking ploy - a bizarre move at that point of the 2nd half when sheer pace was the key to beating them and winning comfortably plus, of course, certain Hibs players not scorning the scoring opps that arise in front of the opposition goal!!
