‘Death, taxes and a Hibs capitulation – the three certainties in life’

Must read

[BBC]

We asked for your views on Hibernian’s 1-1 draw against Dundee United.

Here’s what some of you said:

Andy: Death, taxes and a Hibs capitulation – the three certainties in life. There are too many players that are simply not good enough and David Gray’s selections and substitutions show too much loyalty to a core squad that isn’t good enough. Hibs are relegation fodder.

Cameron: The blatantly obvious on show yet again. Another late goal due to defensive inability and another lead lost. We should just play the youth team defenders at this rate to gain experience for the future – they couldn’t be any worse than the shambles we currently have at the back. Same story, different week.

Disco: Gray has been our defensive coach under the last few gaffers, which correlates with our inability to protect leads or capitalise when playing well. The club needs to act decisively and without sentiment. Gray’s place in our history is cemented, but our immediate future is unstable. Bill Foley should be wining and dining Davie Moyes.

John: David Gray has to go. He has not been capable of building a team which has any degree of physical or mental resilience and stamina. He might be a Hibs legend but he is clearly not an effective man-manager or coach.

Anon: Another monumental mistake by the board in appointing David Gray. Bring in Neil Lennon at least until the end of this season, otherwise relegation beckons. The Gordon clan, Ben Kensell, Malky Mackay et al should depart.

Rob: There’s a distinct lack of confidence at the back. This is bred by having a goalkeeper who isn’t ready for this level and makes continuous howlers. This needs addressed urgently in January. Screaming out for a creative number 10 who can unlock defences. Should have stumped up the cash at the first hurdle for Luke McGowan. We need results fast.

Stuart: Enough is enough. Time for Gray to go! We will be in the Championship next season if he continues.

James: We are a disaster at the moment. No confidence in the current regime to get us out of this predicament. New manager and new direction needed before it’s too late.
