But he is too slow.

That will help but it may be too late.

If we draw nothing changes. Fans who boo seem to forget the game lasts 90 plus minutes. Stay behind the team. Not on their frigging backs.

I reckon it will be Barasic for Wright. Sterling moving over to the right. Cantwell for Lawrence. Simar for Silva.

Don't talk pish! they deserved the boos!. That was absolutely dire!.

Yip. Keep booing the team. That will help. We have 45 minutes to get something from the game. As much as we've been awful, if we draw, nothing gas been lost.

Well horrific 1st half performance. Team selection questionable, no width, no pace, no left back and getting our arses handed to us on a plate. 

 

It's the hope that kills you - there's always next season. 

Our lb is injured. Barasic would not make the difference here.

Boos at half time. Well deserved. Clement must show something soon, or I think he'll go the same way as Gio did. 

Overreaction 

FFS. We're panicking everything

Diomande is really bad. I think he is going to be my new scape goat for everything bad that is happening.

Definitely not the worst player. I like Lawrence but he's too slow for these games.

Us or the players? 

Both

We are pressing with one player

We need to calm down. 

Sima on for Silva. Todd on for Lawrence.

Game still there ffs but we need to make changes.

Cantwell on for Lawrence 

Did we try something different from 2 set pieces?

Lawrence and Silva not on it so far. Dessers looking strong.

Is it a 12:00 kick-off? 

 

I need to get my spot behind the couch ready... 

Already in situ behind the couch. Frigging hate these games!

Think Lawrence might be in for his shooting which would mean Dessers, Wright and Silva need to be on their toes for potential rebounds. Just been for a run and the wind is wild. Shooting in this weather could cause havoc IMO. 

If we play with the same tempo displayed in the recent Hearts and Ross County matches, we won't be far away. Ridvan and whoever starts on the left will be key to that IMO. We also need to be on it at the back or they will punish us. 

Looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow, we should expect 50 miles an hour winds around kick off.  Not great.

On the other hand if we dont win, I don't see us winning it. A draw suits them with the game at the piggery to come

Possibly

IMO, if we win this game, we will win the League title. A win puts us in the position to go 5 points clear prior to the split and leaves them with zero margin for error in all games. They haven't had that pressure as a team. 

Slightly surprised by some of the reaction to our performance today. With 8 games to go in a neck and neck title race, points are the primary target and performances are secondary. I get the impression that some fans are constantly looking through a prism of expected perfection. We've just come off an international break and we are getting players back from injury. If we play as "bad" as this and win every game 3-1, I'm not going to complain.  

The pressure is back on them IMO. First game back on a notoriously crappy pitch against a team fighting for lives. Good luck with that.

Hibs player in the D

Was it for a foul then? About as clear as mud from the officials unsurprisingly.

Bit disappointed with today's performance. We controlled the game but look powderpuff in defence and attack.  We need to be more incisive up front and concentrate more at the back.  

 

Lundstram and Diamonde both played well.

 

The referee was terrible.  So many incorrect decisions. 

 

Focus now moves to next Sunday, where hopefully we'll defeat another Oirish team.

Considering it was off the back of an international break, I thought we did well. 3 points were all that mattered and we got minutes in the legs for some players. Barasic is a worry for me. His indecisiveness helped Hibs start an attack which lead to their goal.

If Wright's encroaching the Hibs player is too. 

Exactly.
