Hibernian v Motherwell 02/01/2024

[grizzlyg]

Sore one but 4/6 PTS not bad.....keep the faith

[Stevie73]

Our game management is by far the worst in the league, to go from a corner in 90 mins to conceding in 91 is criminal, we would have taken a draw at kick off, but gifting one is the story of our season.

[Chanzeypopz]

Yeh its never nice to lose a game right at the end but we are actually scoring goals now and a points a point. Things could definitely be worse 🤷‍♀️

[Orinoco]

you always take at least a point away from home. Some very tired legs, and a manager not trusting the kids. Poor equaliser to lose yet again. Gent needed to do better with his clearance, and Bevis unlucky again with the deflection . Even at the end we were given them chances by not doing the simply thing and keeping the ball. 

Another point clear of Livingston.

[Mccus28]

I'll take a draw at Easter Road.

3 weeks ago we'd have lost 32-0 so anything else is a bonus.

[SteelmaninOZ]

When’s the next game?

 know we’re away to St Johnstone after the break 

 I ask as when we can fit in the pp with Aberdeen 

[bobbybingo]

We've done it to other teams often enough. Would've taken 4 points from the last 2 games going into the break, gives us a sliver of breathing space. All about what happens during the window now.

20th v Alloa. We've got a run of four very winnable games after the break so plenty to look forward to.

Context is everything with draws. We’ve snatched four draws at home this season with last minute equalisers and they may well be pivotal for us come seasons end. They felt good at the time because of the nature of how they came about. On the flip side conceding a last minute equaliser feels utterly gut wrenching.

That'll be three points chucked through absolute stupidity. With the space and possession given to Hibs the last 20 minutes hell mend us.

It was 2 points chucked not 3 and we've done that to a few teams in recent weeks by scoring late goals, but its still a boot in the baws.

But that's 3 draws and a win in our last 5 games so we're moving in the right direction.

[texanwellfan]

Big game against St Johnstone at end of the month. Will be massive if we can take 3 points in Perth.

I’m not going to criticise Kettlewell for this as I don’t think now is the time to bring youngsters into the team when we’re struggling. Better to wait until we’re out of the relegation mire and then give them game time.

Think it’s 2 points. We still got 1.

[santheman]

Always good to get something at Easter Road but by christ that was a brutal watch.

Poor management.

Lesson learned. No quick posting when pissed off 😂.

[wellup83]

I'd have taken a point before the game but that's a sickener. We just didn't manage the last 15 well enough and kept conceding possession. A point on the road is not a bad result though, every cloud.

[Benson]

This fucking about at corners with 90mins on the clock, take the bloody corner and get it in the box

[Alpha1886]

Got to remember Hibs had no game on Saturday. Agree with above we looked leggy towards end of match. At least we didn’t lose. Saw Gent getting an earful from some of the team at final whistle.

Is that poor game management or are you on your favourite subject again ie letting  us all know you don't like Kettlewell? 🤔

Aye he’s still learning 

[steelboy]

Gent was shattered. It seemed like the full second half was down his side. The weakness of our squad cost us. Obika was hopeless at the corner as well. Luca Ross scored against County and hasn't played a minute since yet chancers like Obika, Wilkinson and Shaw get chance after chance. 

If Kettlewell doesn't bring in quality that improves the team this window his time's up. 

[fizoxy]

Disappointing to not hold on for the win, but to only concede 2 goals with that defensive performance was an achievement in itself. I know some of that is down to injuries/suspensions, etc, but we were very shaky.

Great that Bair continues to score, sometimes it just takes a purple patch from a striker to get you out of trouble. Then we can sell him to Aberdeen, and he won't score again.

[grizzlyg]

It's frustrating but we have scrambled late draws recently. 

Next weeks important as SK needs to get good signings in but January always difficult to attract players.   Anyway let's focus on the positives and hopefully 2nd start of season will improve....COYW
