'Not pretty but a professional job' as Hibs progress

Hibs fans, we asked for your views after Thursday night’s goalless draw against Shkendija in North Macedonia booked a spot in the Conference League play-off.

Here’s what some of you said:

Calum: Job done. Not pretty but a clean sheet away in Europe is nothing to be sniffed at.

John: Well done Hibs, not the best of games to watch but who cares. Getting to the play-offs is all that counted. I feel the team were never in any danger, Shkendija played better at Easter Road.

Kenny: A great result following on from the win against Rangers at the weekend. David Gray now needs to have more faith that we can beat teams around us without resorting to the defensive tactics that we seem to deploy in the Premiership. The fans will get behind the manager and the team if we can play off the the front foot and stop losing goals when we give the ball away just outside the 18-yard box. The players are there, no good being too negative.

A Graham: Gray says Shkendija were a really good side, they were awful and we played at their level over the tie with poor passing. We were lacklustre up front and our record signing can’t get a game. Hopefully some more signings to come as I’m struggling to see improvements in the ones we have so far. Hopefully we’ll click into gear as the Rangers game seems the exception to the norm right now.

Neil: Well done Hibs, not pretty but a professional job. Let’s hope we can get over this last hurdle and into the next stage for the first time.

Eddie: Really poor football. Nearly every second ball is brought away by the opposition. Almost every long ball from goal, and nearly every throw in gives possession away. Random headers into the sky give possession away. Nobody in green and white seems to be able to control a ball when it arrives to feet. Only consolation, the other team were worse.
