I have always argued that our defence, despite it's frailties, is not Hibs' major problem. Not turning dominant possession into goals is. As far as statistics are concerned, Hibs 64% possession and 10 corners to 3 would suggest that we were the team with the intent to win the game, but, as happens much too often, we didn't.

I commented about a year ago that Cummings was never the striker who Hibs could possibly use to spearhead a serious assault on the Championship and as for the Malonga-Cummings partnership, most Hibs fans knew by sheer observation, post season, that this striking combination was not prolific enough to do it for Hibs. That same view applies now!!!!!! And yet we were already debating the same issue and the same frailties at the beginning of the season. Unsurprisigly we are again dropping points to inferior teams that are effectively parking the bus and that frailty will continue to prevail because the manager has not redressed the weak striking issue that is self-evident to any self-respecting Hibs fan. IMO winning the Championship is over and I want this issue, re the huge points deficit, to be tackled by Hibs fans' opposition/shareholders at the upcoming AGM - IT IS ONLY LATE SEPTEMBER AND THIS FAILURE IS TOTALY UNACCEPTABLE!!! It's an extreme view but I believe the positions of certain senior Hibs people must be seriously considered at this time!! Forget the league cup smokescreen, we have failed miserably and it's high time that many Hibs fans realised that very fact!!!!!!!! There are lotsa lapsed Hibs fans out there who share that view and poor results should ultimately dictate the fate of certain Hibs officials (some of these officials are earning generous 6 figure salaries!) who we are employing to get us out of this shit league!! These fans will not return to ER any time soon and no wonder - we are still so hit n miss in a shit footie league, it's ridiculous!!
