Have to agree.
Unfortunately for us, him becoming an Aussie regular worked against us and Baccus when it came to continuity in the team.
As you said when Baccus replaced Boyd-Munce the change in pace in midfield was obvious.
The latter, whilst he can be decent for us, is too ponderous. One of weaker points was not getting the ball forward quickly enough in midfield.
I also thought O'Hara was better playing with Baccus. They both used to burst forward, sometimes together, but now O'Hara and Boyd-Munce both seem to be happy sitting deeper (or they have been told to do so) and we rely more on McMenamin or Kiltie to get us forward with not much energy from the middle of the park.

I think we will really miss his style of play and in particular his energy. When we didn't have the ball, his intensity to win it back, and when we did have the ball his drive to get us up the park was fantastic. When he came on as a sub (more this season) he lifted the pace of how the whole team played immediately. We don't have anyone else in midfield like that. Good luck to him.

Season Ticket renewed online just now, no issues and not asked for any ID.
Confirmation email received, roll on next season.

I tried this afternoon, but a photo of my driving license was not accepted.
I emailed the ticket office to clarify what it is looking for.
When I get a reply I will put an update here.
Thanks Bud

I've not renewed my ticket yet. I've seen a few posts on here and on p&b saying Identification (ie driving licence) is now required. Is this correct ?

Welcome packs arrived today. Really decent for the money. Scarf and wee sports bag thing which will come in useful I’m sure. Then pen & a torch keychain.
They got back to my request in early May after enquiring late April. Reference for my two kids suggests between 90 & 100 applicants (at that time). Not bad but also a fair bit of room for improvement. 👍
Good to hear 👍

Quite enjoyed the game tonight especially the second half. One point for next season. Could someone control the brightness of the trackside advertising. It was blinding at times.
The brightness of the ad boards was awful. They should be visible in the background not the only thing that draws your attention. Must have been off putting for the players.
-
Awful from start to finish.
-
That was very enjoyable. Well done to all who travelled, a fantastic backing, who were rewarded with a great performance. Best for some time.
-
Despite the ref giving us absolutely nothing, we've actually done pretty well. Yes, they've had a lot of the ball but we have moved it well when we've had it.
-
Meh. From the West stand, I couldn't see the Hearts penalty incident. Poor first half from us but the wind spoiled it for both teams. Wouldn't have replace Kwon at half time. Taylor missing the target with a free header from 6 yards is unforgivable. Toyo scored a splendid goal. Couldn't see the McMenamin penalty incident but I had already lost patience with him by that point. Not a great day at the office but we have managed top 6 again, thanks to our fantastic start to the season. Well done to all in attendance today, great to see the stands full of buddies.

Agree with this... thought Kiltie would have been subbed instead of Olusanya, but would have took a point before kick off, If we can do the business next week we'll be in great position to fight for 4th come the split.
Olusanya was awful today.
-
Poor start to the 2nd half from us.
-
I thought we were poor today. We looked slow, very nervy on the ball at times and some of the passing was terrible. When we moved Fraser (who can't use his left foot) we looked more creative. I have been critical of McMenamin but he produced some great deliveries when he came on. I've not celebrated a goal like that in a long time. A massive 3 points 👍

Agree 100%.
Also don’t want to be overly critical, but I think we are all potentially guilty of getting a wee bit misty eyed over Strain. He started the season (by that I mean literally the first handful of games) on top form taking up where he left off last season. However, let’s not forget that he did go off the boil to quite a large extent prior to his injury, including potentially costing us the game against Rangers by getting an incredibly amateurish sending off.
No question he’s a smashing player and if we’re guaranteed to get Ryan from last season, then get him straight back in, but like you say, Elvis is performing well enough, so I’ll trust Robbo to watch Strain in training and reintroduce him at the right time.
The formation that Robbo has set us up with since he came in, is much more effective with Strain in the side. I'm looking forward to a fit version of Strain returning, hopefully just at the right time.

The gaffer going mental there at the end.
Looked like he was over ' chatting ' with someone in the crowd 😄

Gogic not trained all week, Kiltie and Scott also doubtful for tomorrow.

Due to circumstances I was forced to follow today's game on BBC radio.
Well done to the lads. Sounds as if they all had a good game. Also, credit to the travelling fans. They must have surely enjoyed what they saw.
I think we should petition the BBC NOT to send Michael Stewart to any of our games from now on. Every report he sent was all about how poor Hibs were. He complained over and over about the penalty we got. We understood that he thought it was soft the FIRST time he mentioned it! Also, he stumbled over the names of our new players - clearly hadn't taken the time to check them out. Finally, on Mandron's goal, it was fully 25 seconds into his report before he told us which team had scored. Abysmal!
It was the same from the studio, hardly a mention of what was happening until at half time Rory Loy said it was wave after wave of St. Mirren attacks.

Quite happy with the other results. Great day.
Hope Elvis is happy too!He should have scored !
-
Great display. Every single player looked up for it today. Moved the ball well and played some really nice stuff. Well deserved 👍
-
Could easily have been 5. Kiltie has been fantastic. Again.
-
Unfortunate that it didn't work out. He looked decent in his brief appearances. You would have to think that understandably, what is going on back home has had a major impact on his time with us. I have no idea how he did in training or what his attitude was like but I would have liked to see more of him.
