We asked for your views on what you want to see from Hibs.
Here’s what some of you said:
Liam: The defence still looks fragile and disorganised. The persistence with playing one up front, including at home to Motherwell, shows a bit of a fear to change this. But overall, the mentality of the team is worrying. When we concede or suffer any kind of setback during the game we seem to just completely capitulate.
Craig: I firmly believe that once everyone is back from injury and match fit, we’re going to be looking a lot better. This isn’t just a view from my green-tinted glasses, but I’ve seen some of the football and link-up play and been impressed, the only statement I’d make is have two up front! Mykola Kuharevich and Dwight Gayle together could be a dynamite pairing.
Ross: While results haven’t been ideal, there have been some good performances. After a pretty major overhaul in the summer, I think David Gray deserves, at the very least, a full season to shape the squad and playing style. Fed up of chopping and changing managers every season!
Dicky: A manager who wants to play fast free-flowing football instead of the garbage we watch week in, week out. Plenty of empty seats at home games this season and more to come. We have some decent players but also some bad ones who need to go. Why pay good money for Dylan Levitt and Dylan Vente and bench and loan them out? Bottom six again this year.
Greg: We’re going round in circles in terms of this situation. All teams performing well are down to a solid manager. Hopefully Gray can improve things but if he does happen to leave in the near future, there’s once again no reason why we don’t just appoint the best-performing manager in the Premiership outwith the the big five.
Ian: Nothing has improved, Gray is terrible, Hibs will be relegated this season.
Colin: We need to be clinical and take the chances we’re creating and improve our defending as a team. Football is a game of fine margins and we’re not far away from being a good team. Supporters need to be patient and note that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Hibs aren’t a quick fix after years of poor decision asking.
Malcolm: I’d like to see Hibs play 4-2-4, with four up front we will pin back teams and chance the counter, but we need to trust the back four. We can score goals and can’t defend, so may as well try to score more than we let in. One up front last time just brought them forward at pace.
Martin: Don’t even care how we play anymore, just play two up front and win by doing whatever it takes.
