Missed the last 30 mins yesterday but the score is no surprise and shouldn't be to anyone. Playing the way we do scraping victories is not sustainable. This has been coming for weeks. I have always said I don't think we will win the league but what Rohl has done is get us back in the title race. We have needed a creative midfielder for years this isn't new but we still have had a striker that scored over 50 goals last two seasons when we still struggled to create. I accept it's got worse this season. I still can't get away from our strikers are not goal-scorers and don't think they will ever score 25+ goals in a season.
I don't think we will win the league but that doesn't mean we won't. I have been wrong loads of times.
We need at least 2 players in today that will make a difference but I don't see that unfortunately.
Rohl needs to get his style of play sorted making us harder to get beat is fine but we need to make a lot more chances.
Butland was man of the match from what I seen once again his saves gave us a point. Some may say it's saves he expects to make but he still has to save them ?
Any one ITK can you at least give some good news that they will be more than one in today ?

100 Strom. It's far too slow and predictable and that's why we've won a lot of tight games it's in general easy to defend. Skov Olsen is a good player but you need to get the ball to him and a few others much quicker especially after winning possession.
He will struggle in this side be labelled a dud and he's not. The handbrake needs to come off. It's needs to be much quicker.

Storm hope you are okay mate after the weekend.
I agree we haven't played the most attractive football but the scraping results isn't really true. in 10 of our 16 games under Rohl we have scored 2 or more goals. in 7 of those we have won by 2 or more goals. in 4 of the last 5 games we have scored 2 or more goals; the exception being the draw on Sunday.
so as always we let a bad result overtake all thoughts. are our strikers scoring but as a team we are regularly. oh and we also score 55% of our goals from open play which is around the same as the others (before someone says we only score from set pieces ?)

Skov Olsen looks miles off it. He hasn't played consistent football in months. It hasn't nothing to do with how quick you get the ball to him.

Good post mate.

Hard to disagree with any of that. I thought Butland, Souttar and Big Manny were excellent yesterday (bar a few missed places passes) and if it wasn't for them, Hibs would have taken a few goals off us. Yesterday was a very poor performance, but it has been coming as we've been scraping wins and getting most of our goals from set pieces, which isn't sustainable. Even our set pieces yesterday were poor.
Our general play is far too slow and predictable and our chance creation from open play is far too low. I don't think all is lost though and I can still see all 3 teams at the top dropping points. We badly need 2 quality starters signed today that can help create chances and take them, though or unfortunately I suspect we'll see more performances like yesterday.

I think taking into how we played yesterday, that it may result in us scraping wins if that continues in the run in.

Angus we scraped a win against Dundee last week but scored 2 late goals mate. If you see something different that's fine but we are scraping wins week in week out with this team. And thanks mate.

Storm, i totally agree it's also only a matter of time before teams get a bit of luck and score against us first then we will be in real trouble.
