Hibs' Woes Continue: A Draw in Dundee Leaves Them Bottom of the Table
It's not the start to the season any Hibs fan would have envisioned. A disappointing draw away to Dundee United leaves them languishing at the bottom of the table, with only a couple of games left to salvage something from this dismal start.
The game itself was a frustrating affair for Hibs. They had their chances, sure, but couldn't find the back of the net. The lack of cutting edge in the final third has been a recurring problem for them this season. You just get this sinking feeling that they're going to struggle to score goals if they continue to play like this.
The result leaves Hibs with just one win from their opening seven games. It's a grim stat that will be keeping the Hibs faithful awake at night. They'll be desperate to turn things around, and quickly, if they want to avoid a relegation battle.
The pressure is on for Manager Lee Johnson. He needs to find a way to get the best out of his players. They have the talent, but it's not showing on the pitch. The question is, can Johnson turn things around? He'll be hoping that a few key signings in the January transfer window can help to inject some much-needed quality into the team.
What Went Wrong for Hibs?
The lack of goals was the biggest problem for Hibs. They created chances, but the finishing was lacking. They also seemed to be lacking in confidence. The pressure is clearly getting to them, and it's showing on the pitch.
The Dundee United game was just another example of Hibs' struggles. They need to start finding a way to win games. They've got some tough matches coming up, so they need to find their form quickly.
What's Next for Hibs?
The next few weeks are crucial for Hibs. They need to pick up some points. They're at home to Aberdeen next, a game they need to win. Then they have a tricky away trip to Celtic. It's going to be a long, hard road back to the top for Hibs, but they need to start by getting back to winning ways.
Time is running out for Hibs. They need to start playing like the team we know they can be. Otherwise, they'll be stuck in the relegation dogfight. Let's just hope that things start to turn around for Hibs soon.
