Not the best performance for a good part of the first 45 mins when Hibs were cautious, casual, needlessly error-prone and almost gave themselves a "mountain to climb"!! That was a significant part of the game I observed with other Hibs fans in the North Stand!! And remember Maloney said in his pre-match comment Hibs were now well prepared and ready to go from the off. Not so!! Their vg performance after their first goal was indeed a huge surprise and nothing short of heroic, particularly after losing Newell and outplaying Hertz with ten men. However, the Newell dismissal, a player on an early yellow card for well over an hour, should've been managed better by Maloney and should never have happened - that was a huge lack of management nous, a fatal oversight not to take him off for his own good and a wise move for the benefit of the team!! I debated this issue with other Hibs fans about 15 mins before the red card was issued as "I've read this book" before v them and so have you Ritchie!!!!
So, enlighten us all please with this ‘book you’ve read before’ v them. Cannae wait
