The Hibernian fans are still waiting for the David Gray bandwagon to begin.
There has been green shoots of hope with only late goals from Dundee and Kilmarnock denying the team two wins that would give the Premiership table a very different look.
There has to be a realism that after the frequent change of managers and players over the last few seasons a sustained period of stability is required.
Throughout the recent transfer window there was barely a day that went by when Hibs were not linked with a move for a striker, midfielder or defender.
And although they failed in various bids for Dundee’s Luke McCowan, the fact they kept on going until the latter stages of the evening on Friday is great credit to the ambitions of all those involved.
But there is no doubt this team needs results. Like their neighbours across the city they have yet to fire this season and the longer this goes on, the fans will be asking serious questions about the management.
The international break does allow a period of reflection on what needs to change in order for results to improve.
Gray and the management team deserve some time. The board will allow that and I’m sure in the coming weeks a steady improvement in results will see an upturn in league position.
