OVERALL – 7/10 – It’s not like this was a shambles. It was, indeed, quite a sharp and exciting performance for the majority of the game. The ball was shifted at pace, the tempo maintained; there was invention and movement and rotation and understanding on a level that reflected good Lennoxtown work. Hibs got pummelled and knocked about the ring. They spent more time on the ropes than the high-command at Nuremberg Prison. Yet they escaped a knockout blow. Why?
For the past few seasons we’d shrug it off as bad luck and their good fortune. This season? Kairat twice, the Zombies (embarrassing) and now Hibs. Big fat zeroes. At least in this one we created the moments, but still seemingly lack the players who’ll convert them.

Daizen bailed us out last season but he’s more concerned with bailing himself out this time round. Kyogo was alienated and let go without replacing. The big-money Brodge bhoy is now chasing Swans with other immigrants, the latest Japanese poacher isn’t allowed to play because Brendan didn’t sign him, Kenny Johnny thinks he’s allowed to play but every time he gets on the park the ref blows the final whistle, and our young English Prem prodigy seems to be considered too young for the Scottish Prem even though the breakthrough right-back’s
younger than him…
Just…Whit?
My head hurts. Anybody fancy a game of 3-Card Braga?
See you Thursday dinner time…
