Some brief comments re this result - a welcome win and 3 pts, no doubt!! However, Hibs fans can be under no illusions re the player probs that have been self-evident for a while and certainly came to the fore in this match and the stark realisation that many Hibs players are not good enough to wear a Hibs jersey- the 1st half histrionics exposed a huge lack of character with a good number of players who couldn't handle the pressure v another team of players who realised the enormity of this particular match to their football club and they were gonna "show up". David Gray fittingly put it "in a nutshell" by saying, post-match, that "We've played a lot better than this in other games and got nothing"!! Thank god some good fortune favoured us v a team that Hibs should be beating with aplomb! I still think David Gray is "out of his depth" tactically and in player choices. He is a coach trying to be a competent manager in my humble opinion I wish him well, but seriously can't see him overcoming the probs that I've been observing for months. One thing I'm delighted with is the fact he replaced Bursik although that decision should've been made about 11 weeks ago. I hope our forlorn CF Bowie returns asap because it may help out Gray during this challenging time. Anyway, Hibs have "jumped" to eighth place in the Scot Prem - well done! Lotsa work still to do all the same - roll on to the Jan transfer window eh!!
