Yep! Saint Johnstone have not played so far and Hibs badly let down again by certain players in front of goal. Murphy definitely the chief sinner!! I'm counting five really decent scoring chances for Hibs AND THEY HAVE NOT CONVERTED ONE OF THEM!
I also can't figure why Ross has allowed a "bunched" Hibs front line effectively playing in front of three centre backs. Play wide of these CBs as it's a huge Hampden pitch FFS!!! 
I must say, as asserted in my OP, this game is unfolding exactly as I feared and I expect Ross's usual incapacity to respond will be exposed again - CAN'T WIN BIG MATCHES AND HIBS ARE NOW "CHASING A MATCH" THEY WERE WELL IN CONTROL OF. I pray I'm wrong but this manager is confirming time n again what many Sunderland fans warned us often enough following his appointment as Hibs manager. Team plays well but ultimately doesn't deliver!
