Expectation vs Reality
On watching the games yesterday and all season I cant help but feel were the exact opposite of what I expected when Heckingbottom came in.
The first couple of games when we ground out results I was impressed with his tactics and how we looked a lot more solid defensively. I thought the way we were going would be building on a solid defensive and ruthless when we actually get a chance. A bit like Aberdeen and Killie, even if theyre not playing well they grind out results and find a way to win.
Hes made certain comments to the effect of
Levels of fitness theyve never had before
we can see a more powerful and athletic Hibs team
The team could wear a blank strip but the style of play you would know youre watching hibs
Uses the loan market to attract better standard of players
A high press
Its just absolute nonsense.
We we have no power or athleticism in our team and this season look so disorganised and just brutal. We would recognise the team in blank strips but certainly not in a good way.
I expected quick strong wingers that can carry the ball and create plenty of chances, a central midfield that buzz about making it difficult for the opposition to get out or put their foot in the ball, a defence that concedes very little let alone poor poor goals which we gift teams. We are the exact opposite of what I anticipated.
Were becoming an absolute laughing stock after years of getting the club back to a good place and their being a real buzz.
Something is really not right and we need someone to come in with a bit of enthusiasm and passion to take us forward.
Are the club potentially not replacing him till after the Celtic game as it would be difficult for a new manager to come in and Killie in the cup and park head be his first two tasks? Maybe they want him to have an easier run at the start to get the fans onside.
We need him gone.
Get back to signing young hungry players that know what it means to play for Hibs and can get the best out of the youngsters available.
