Aberdeen v Hibs Friday 6th


Recommended Posts

Other than dispatching the gift goals, I think we have been poor and predictable with the ball.

Hedges and Wright have both been very quiet and the wing backs have had no impact in the final third. So much has been breaking down around Cosgrove too.

TBH, it's a bit a mirror image of the Hamilton game, except Hibs are more pish. 

We go in front, decide that's enough, and gift them 90% of the ball. They get a flukey goal back and we're panicking. We seem completely unable to truly kill a game off. 

Wright's got his wee knock, that'll be him off and Ojo on soon enough.

Aberdeen have been poor since we scored the 2nd goal. Need to start playing again

Used a lot of energy early on and working by hassling them into the mistakes.

Agree - getting a wee bit too deep now - and not sure we quite have the ‘see it out’ qualities in this team we have out, who are probably more suited to attacking.

Drawing parallels with our game v Motherwell earlier this season. A couple or daft goals conceded and the losing team not able to get themselves going.

We look good when we play it in yo Cosgrove's feet so.of course we keep going long.

Two great finishes. Cosgrove's was especially naughty.

It's not that they're quiet, it's just that the mindset changes. We're in front, so instead of picking up the ball and driving forward it becomes easier to do a wee knockback to Ferguson or even a 30 yarder back to Taylor or Hoban. 

A few sideways passes later and Hibs have 10 men behind the ball and we're 5 seconds away from losing it. 

2-0 up is great. But we're not good enough defensively to think that we're going to have another 45 minutes of this without Hibs creating chances or scoring.

Looking forward to game management mode around 65mins. Logan on for Wright, ojo for hedges etc

 

We've been in that since the 12th minute.
