Promotion is the only thing we should be interested in this season.
Spot on re these comments. The pivotal moment in this match was Fontaine's diabolical misplaced header from a foot off their goal line to make it 2-0 and game over!
I've scored goals like this with my face just to make sure the ball is directed in the pokey but Fontaine seems incapable of knowing where the target is located!!! I must say this match was effectively a bounce match tarted up as a cup tie IMO for most of this game TBF! Also noticeable the lack of any urgency re putting on subs etc - no coincidence! Our mid formation was wrong from the off and McGinn just looked 'out of sorts' while Bartley looked like he needs game time!! I'm relieved that we are out of this tourney (no distractions this season please) and Lenny will definitely field a much stronger Hibs side on Saturday for important league business, incl a replacement goalie(09-08-2016, 23:40)hibeejim21 Wrote: Not too fussed about the league cup,but by all accounts we should have been home and hosed 1st half.
The night underlines we need new signings, at least 2 and hopefully our new keeper in place. Young laidlaw made a real howler the night for their second.
I agree we need at least another two additions to strengthen our player squad just a wee bit more!
Also I notice Lenny has loaned out another two Hibs players, Allan and Dunsmore, and expect some more transfer activity from him. I'm hoping Hendo returns but can only wait n see how it all unfolds.
