We still created enough to win it though and cummings should have placed that chance low instead of going for the hollywood option. Stokes is going to be a big upgrade on malonga i think who did sweet **** all again the day apart from shooting at inappropriate moments. I'd rather not play keatings in that role at the top of the midfield too,he has never played well there.
Looked a clear pk as well,all the falkirk players stopped expecting it to be awarded. it looked like the tackle was a long way out and he was nowhere near the ball.
Once again we started the 2nd half slowly and it has cost us.
A good, accurate summary of this match hibeejim. I'd just add that Keatings has been invisible for weeks in that position. I'd have respected Stubbs even more if he'd taken Keatings off after 35 mins. IMO he contributed to the Bairns' goal from the midfield dispossession onwards - pedestrian and ineffective!!
Also agreed a stonewall pen for McGinn - tried too hard to stay on his feet, too honest!! But still a stonewall PK all the same! Pivotal moment for Jason with Hibs in the ascendancy at 1-1 - has to be clinical and focused with the goalie to beat, hard n low in the RH corner, but couldn't do it!! His frustrated reaction, in front of the Hibs support, immediately after that screw up said it all!
