FT 1-2 and a big result for Hibs today although they really should've "put this game to bed" well before the last quarter of this match. Gotta say this match turned out to be a good game to watch - very entertaining! However, Doidgy was at his usual irritating best in terms of striking: one through ball from Nisbet just had to be kicked early "on the run" with the goalie caught out and it's a goal - 1-3, game over. Doidge opts to "take a touch" FFS. I'd luv to take this guy aside for a day wearing my "coach's hat" and go over all the things you don't do when in a scoring position!! As for Cadden's miss? Definitely not a striker and no "coolness personified". I thought Nisbet could've scored a "hat trick" today but Laidlaw did have a good performance in County's goal all the same. Lastly, I wish the likes of Boyle would show show a bit more coolness and guile in "passing in" Nisbet or Doidgy on goal particularly in the last 10 mins of this match when Hibs could quickly "break out" fast to counter the "staggies" desperate attacks to try and draw the match. Anyway, that is three precious pts gained and now six pts ahead of the Dons and I must say that pivotal moment, when ref John Beaton awarded that pk to Hibs, really seemed to lift the confidence of all the Hibs players to "push on". And no wonder when one considers it's the first time this season that the boys have turned around a 1-0 deficit. Well done!
