Match Thread hibs v Aberdeen

[Ke1t]

January is going to be a big month. Will be interested to see if McInnes is given the resources to strengthen this squad.

 

If he IS does he have the means to bring in more Cosgroves, or are we looking at more Mains?

I dont want him to have a chance at signing Dom ball or the like. We’ve let him waste enough money already.

[V for Vendetta]

I'd love a couple of new players to come in but not sure I want to gamble in McInnes spending more.

[V for Vendetta]

Confidence is draining out of the whole squad as well.

[True_Don]

No passer in the park to create chances is blatantly obvious...

 

Fans arguing in the stand...left after 3rd goal...he picked he wrong team today. Doesn't know his best 11 and squad is wildly lacking creativity...Wilson looks unfit...piss poor

Once he's lost the dressing room he's fucked

With his record in the last two years I wouldn’t let him sign anyone.

We’ve had change at the top.

That needs to filter down a level.

Get him out.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

One of the most over used cliches in football.

He’s just got too many players that aren’t very good.

And he’s signed them.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Brilliant. So we’ve got poor players incapable of doing what McInnes is wrongly telling them to do.

 

Not a great outlook really!

Poor players

Signed by a negative manager

Trying to carry out his shite tactics.

Poor players - Incorrect. Boys like Hedges / Cosgrove / Ferguson / Leigh (controversial) are not poor players for our league / level

 

Everything else you say are spot on.

 

We should be battering teams in and around the bottom of the table yet it is a constant struggle (and has been for the last couple of seasons). I can’t recall a shot on target this afternoon, something needs to change but I have my doubts that it will take place before the end of the season.

I'm beginning to think hedges actually is shite

He flatters to deceive

Runs like a good player, a fancy player with that "poise" but in reality is a gutless fanny

Can actually see why he gives off that impression - I actually think we are ok in wide areas with Hedges, McGinn and Wilson however we persist on playing Gallagher ( who is worse than a man down at times). Hedges is a luxury player who is good on the ball / carrying it towards opposition defenders but will offer little defensively. Unfortunately in our current back 6/7 formation he doesn’t fit in to that.

 

The bottom line is 1500 fans traveled to Easter Road today against a bottom 6 side and we were well and truly pumped. No blaming the ref or anything else, we were convincingly beaten. That problem needs to be addressed ASAP

Used that exact phrase after the Sj Johnstone game about hedges. It’s spot on, totally flatters to deceive

 

Showing why he wasn’t a regular at Barnsley

Hibs weren't even better than us, Boyle's pace just fucked us.

3-0

That's considerably better.

It's a dicking.

When you said used that exact phrase I was hoping you meant gutless fanny.

 

I enjoyed that part of MT's descriptive most.

Alright Deek?

[RUL]

Our defending, wow, absolutely fucking horrendous

[aberdeen1970]

Boyle always causes us nightmares. We make him look like a worldbeater

 

But doesn't appear to have the same impact against other teams

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Our defending, wow, absolutely fucking horrendous

I know we were already 1-0 down before we went to 3 at the back, but can anyone remember any time that 3 at the back has actually worked?

Yet McInnes tries it from time to time.

Think we're getting to the point of no return for DM now. The mood in the away end wasn't very good to say the least and plenty of anti DM chanting after the 3rd goal went in. The football is shite and the crowds are on the decline now. Wouldn't be surprised if there's less than 10k there against Hamilton. Hopefully that might make the board sit up and take notice.

Every one of those goals is absolutely horrific from a defensive POV. 

 

We've been woeful at the back this season, which is supposedly McInnes' strongpoint. 

 

Continuing to play a Left back and a Centre Back in midfield and wondering why we're losing games, just baffling. 

 

Ryan Hedges should be one of the first names on the team sheet every week, actually an entertaining player to watch and I believe is our second top scorer.

 

 

Apathy is far too strong now for me to go to Hamilton next week. Genuinely rather do anything else.

Hedges was great when he came on yesterday. Vyner was horrific and Forrest Gump should never pull on the strip again

Yeah the Rangers game just papered over the cracks slightly with regards to McInnes, it's not even as though we beat Rangers, were terrible that first half and could easy have been 3 down.

 

Shocking defending going by highlights. What's McKenna's issue? Fuck me he looked awful

His head has been up his arse all season.

Need to try & sell him in January.

Wasn’t surprised by the result on Saturday, its been coming for a while its just that Hibs were the first team who didn’t fluff their lines in front of goal (outside the OF that is). Our defence has been porous all season, not helped by the constant changing due to injuries but even when fit the only one to get pass marks is Considine. McKenna’s been tripping over his petted lip since the last transfer window and sadly we won’t see the returns he once promised when he does eventually move on. Derek’s been trying to fit square pegs in round holes elsewhere and no-one has really established themselves in any particular role with the possible exception of Ferguson who is the one shining light in our squad but needs experienced heads beside him to push on. Bryson was brought in to do that I think but has spent most of the season on the treatment table.

Cosgrove has been getting the headlines and rightly so. He makes the most of the stuttering supply form the wings but if the opposition manages to keep him quiet then the goal supply runs pretty dry.

Interesting having just thought back to the ‘boyhood heros’ thread and the players of my generation who were genuinely exciting to watch and think what todays lot will have to pick from when posed the same question in years to come. The pickings are slim.
