But it's still ultimately down to scoring goals hibeejim and even though hibs didn't play particularly well at Recreation Park, Stokes' attempts on goal, from good positions in the pen box, were absolutely woeful. I previously mentioned his headed effort from about 4 metres and it really was a dreadful attempt from a guy who should at least be 'working the goalie' from such a good position. He hardly even needed to jump in order to head the ball!
Stubbs' intransigence to stick with Stokes and Cummings could well end up being his undoing and I don't think many Hibs fans will be too sympathetic if it happens! I suspect his 'loyalty' to this pair is based on their performance v ICT but that was one of these fleeting occasions when certain Hibs players suddenly tried a wee bit harder than normal because it was a bigger match!
