Hibs v Celtic Post Match Thread

always great to get points on such a hard place to win,but terrible game pitch atrocious yet again in this country,at least our pitch is always immaculate and thanks to the groundsmen at paradise.would love lenny to still be at paradise as a no2 we need experience in this job this is one of the greatest managers job in football

 

right wasnt a great performance but those are the games which TM would of drew or got beat , think were showing alot more bite under lenny . We got an emphatic win last week and played some nice football today we showed the grit needed to win scrappy games against a good hibs team

 

That must have been because your seat has a hole in the middle..

To be fair , I felt it was no worse than yesterdays Man Utd V Chelsea game which I watched intently but did have a laugh about as it's their showpiece game being broadcast around the world and to an extent it was a title deciding game for the EPL.. It reminded me of many OF games for quality of football , but because I didn't favour either team , I could view it purely as a football match without the tension..

 

mcgeady looks more comfertable with naylor behind him than than he did braafheld or fox

 

why does everyone think mcgeady played well today when he really didnt, ok he didnt do anything wrong but he didnt do much today to catch my eye, he has to stop taking too much out of the ball..

as for the match in general, awful game, awful pitch and two poor teams.. lucky to get the win but in saying that we probably wouldnt of win under mowbray.. away from home you have to scrape out wins like we did today and im glad we did.. league may be gone but we still need to keep winning to get a bit of pride back..

my man of the match was brown with naylor in close second.. :icon_mrgreen:

 

We got a win today- pitch was terrible- under TM would we have won????? No one will ever know!

Plus Lenny is not making subsitituionsjust for the sake of it!

Go on Lenny beat Ross County and Motherwell and that would be 4 wins in a row!

TM never managed to do this!!

 

Aye he did including the cup.just never managed 4 lge wins on the trot

 

zaluska- 8, What a deputy. Surprised no English clubs have put in a cheeky 1-2 million bid for him.

Naylor 8 - He had better dead ball delivery today than from anyone else I've seen this season. He was tidy if not fluid from open play, and tended his defensive duties better than Braafheid. A very good full back display from the left which I am think caught hibs off-guard as often our attacks come from the right with Andy Hinks getting far up.
O'Dea 7.5 - Still tends to overrun headers which is dangerous when your partner is slow but never gets bullied. He has some footspeed which helps cover for Thomson's lack thereof.
Thomson 7- Bullied Nish right back. Coped well and took up good enough positions to make up for being slowwww.
Hinkel 6.5 - Nothing special from Andy tonight but gets the extra .5 for contributing to a team effort clean sheet against one of the league's most potent attacks.

Aiden 7.5 - Best attacker on the night for us and we will hurt to lose him if he goes in the summer more than most understand. Bamba needed his great performance to keep Aiden from playing Keano in.
Landry 5.5 - Better than last week, that's for sure. Broke up play well but still lacks creativity going forward.
Brown 6- Did well to break up play and tried to drive us forward when he could. It seems to be a contest of whether he or Landry will get the job partnering someone else in CM and I think he has been winning as of late.
Sammy 6- Not a stellar performance from Sammy tonight but not for lack of effort. His new role on the wing I believe is a good one for him in league games as he gets time to switch to either wing or with either striker. Hopefully his future performances will be more like last week.

Fortune- 4.5 - forgettable night for MAF who was clumsy on the ball and couldn't find a final pass that could have gotten us a goal on one or two occassions.
Keane 6 - An off night for Keane who's usual rapport with Aiden was not firing on all cylinders on the night.

 

correct mate, and the team that turned up to day will win nothing
Sammy was not at the races, as was Brown, when are we going to get moneys worth from that £5 million man, a joke, no service again up front
nothing but bad timed passes, or the wrong side pass.
A penalty to decide a game, and Celtic fans are swithering if mowbrey could have done more,
when any half whit knows it the guys on the Park that count. Not someone sitting in the dug out as is the case.
With all fans standing in the terraces and can only shout numpty this or that, nothing more. the team we have are bad and have been bad now going on 4 years

 

why is everyone slating fortune , i thought the big man had a decent gameand for those who said he had no delivery i remember 3 occasions where his delivery was dangerous and should have brought a shot on target

 

some people will never be happy,* pitch and hibs are a hard team to beat most of the time at home,we have been unable to win ugly with one goal leads turning into draw or even defeats we finally manage to hold onto one and people are on moaning

for me it was a good away win had to dig in and defend which we did and stick away our chances which we did all be it it was a pen but * it still counts

good win the day,keeps the winning momentum going,if it was a draw there woulda been an up roar on here,saying lennon cant win the big games,hes to inexperienced etc

good win:icon_mrgreen:

 

Even though he looks like a weird mix between Willo Flood and Scott McDonald, I thought Naylor was fantastic today. MOTM for me.

 

Any win will do for me just now!

 

any win does for me after all results are everything

 

couldnt watch the game too busy helping the folks prepare the Easter dinner heard it on the radio, they made it sound a decent game though judging by whats on here it was fairly tame? radio scotland were raving about Naylor, i almost * up the food i was making when i heard that

but * a wins a win, and so long as we keep winning i'll be happy

 

you have to be able to win ugly, we done it but we desperetly need one of our ither wide lklayers to get back to fitness cause that s up front doesnto work on narrow pitches.

 

was in home end and i congratulate the magnificent away support. Lennon at the end showed he is dying for the job. if we play like this then we can give the league table a bit of respect. Rangers have been scraping victories and thats wot has won them the title so we have to do the same only with a bit more class

 

aye, it did sound like they made a lot of noise for the cause. well done bhoys & ghirls.

 

Hard place to go, very hard team to play so happy with a win. Thought it would be a draw personally but we got the 3 points, pen was a bit soft but hey we will take that bit of luck

 

No Matter how bad hibs have been playing recently too , to go there and grind a result was good ..Loved the way Lenny went onto the pitch at the end and cengratulated every player personally ..Keep it going Bhoys
