Hibs: Final Answer

Kenny Pally, Hibs.Net: "Yes, of course, they have to take more responsibility for the recent poor results, too many players are hiding during games and a few seem to be suffering from a lack of confidence. They are playing at the moment like they have just met each other. They need to stand up and be counted or face the consequences."

George Abbott, Innerleithen: "All players and the coaches need to take more responsibility for their part in this great collapse. Some of the players have excuses like being played out of position and some have no excuses and will be on their merry way come the summer. A lot of the blame is left at the manager's door, using players who can not or would not adapt to his tactics which, to be fair, are baffling at times. The continued chopping and changing of personnel and positions did not help and it seems that all confidence that was apparent early in the season has all but evaporated. It's hard to blame one or two players or even the manager but something is far from right in the camp. I believe the manager has been too loyal to some players and this can cause a rift within the team. Rankin, Stevenson, Miller and McBride are lacking physical presence against the likes of Hearts, the Old Firm and especially Dundee United, who on Wednesday evening took control, using their physical presence. I firmly believe that Yogi should get one more year to try and instil his vision but he will need to at least to move seven or eight players out and get in players that are capable of performing as he instructs."

Mark Crawford, Wester Hailes: "Far too many players see playing for Hibs as having reached the top of their potential and are happy to collect a very good wage. All the talk of splitting the Old Firm doesn't occur unless they put the work in and, to be blunt, they haven't since we lost to Rangers in the last game of 2008. Too many give up too quickly and are looking for an excuse instead of rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in."
