Of course Cummings and Oxley's degraded form is a factor! We've observed that failure first hand. However, it's a team game and don't you think it's ironic that we've travelled to Dumbarton again, dropped another 3 pts, and the previous duff result at the same ground centred on a debate that Hibs' dressing room atmosphere was disrupted during the Scott Allan fiasco. That sorry episode in August 2015 was discussed and extensively debated with Alan Stubbs at Hibs AGM in December. My perception during that debate was how fragile that atmosphere can be and it confirmed that we didn't have too many dominant characters like, for example, Pat Stanton or Scott Brown, who would 'nip this shit in the bud' and get on with the football. Stubbs has consistently hailed the really good atmosphere within Hibs dressing room and I'm sure that has been a big factor in Hibs turnaround esp during matches that have not gone as expected but they've 'toughed it out' and protected their unbeaten record. A big question: Why risk damaging that unified dressing room atmosphere by moving for such a maverick player like Stokes??? IMO utter folly and I'm already picking up even more reliable info, from Hibs sources, to confirm this story! What a joke and the timing of it is absolutely dreadful!!!!
