Before we start pointing the finger at Stubbs for our recent poor run we need to remember the players he is working with.
Because of Hibs signing policy he has 6 loan signings who will be leaving the club shortly and two players who are being tipped by the media to move on. He also has to suffer the "unrest" that Stokes is supposedly bringing to the dressing room AND the hysteria surrounding his own future, be it with Hibs or Celtic or Everton.
Couple that with our historic collapse most seasons and it`s clear to see he is under severe pressure so he and the team need our full backing and support at this time.
If we knew that we would get to one cup final, the minimum of a semi final in the Scottish cup and possibly a play off place in the league I think most of us would have grabbed it with both hands.
Remember too that right in the middle of our bad run Stubbs and his team beat Hearts knocked Inverness - the holders- out of the Scottish Cup and were unlucky to lose to Ross County.
