So, after nine consecutive fixtures v Hertz, Hibs finally win a Derby match and attain such a sweet victory in front of a near capacity crowd (first time for quite a while where Hibs have achieved such a positive result with the ER stands full up!) on a glorious sunny afternoon in Leith. How fitting that the Hibs anthem, Sunshine on Leith, was bellowed out after the final whistle by 1000s of joyful Hibees who appreciated the effort and resolve the boys put in to ensure they won this game v a Hertz side that was poor and looked like they lack a great deal of confidence and belief at the moment. Also Snodgrass now absent from their midfield, but hasn't had any effect in their previous five fixtures/defeats anyway. Hibs really should've won this game by two or three goals and I must say I can't figure out why certain players, who have skilfully got into a position behind a nervy Hertz defence don't choose to "pass in" a better placed Hibs player to score a simple "tap in" goal??? Thankfully Kevin Nisbet took his goal with aplomb from a Paul Hanlon "assist" to win this match.. As for Youann? I thought he was "mince" again today although he forced the corner from which Hibs scored the winning goal - can't figure out what has gone wrong with him after previously "climbing the heights" with some very important goals for Hibs. Playing in the wrong position? Livingston winning 2-0 v St Johnstone btw. So Hibs only 1 pt ahead of the Lions leading in to their last fixture (before the "split") v St Johnstone in Perth - very disappointing TBF as it makes for a nervy match next Saturday although there is no doubt that 1000s of Hibees will be heading up north to Perth to cheer on the guys. Lets hope that's enough to urge them to stay in the Scot Prem top six.
