    Read above...

    That was far from the same quality of Hibs side..

    btw - I’m not a lenny hater ,

    if you only come looking for entertainment because you think you might disagree with what you read then you are easily ‘giggled’.

    Rodgers didn’t win in the league at Easter Road.

    Seriously? I know it's the heat of the moment but calling him Fraudgers then going out your way to give him credit for something he couldn't do?

    I know. But as said twice above already....
    wouldn’t you agree he was up against a much better Hibs side.

    We've won more games at the start this season than any manager in the last 2 decades.

    I would but I also seen Rodgers have awful performances against the likes of St Mirren away in the league and facts are, we’ve had a much, much better start than this time last season.

    Not really a dig at anyone here, but it’s funny how often football fans completely ignore the benefit of hindsight.

    It’s always the case that changing things up and winning is a master stroke, while changing things up and dropping points is an example of gross mismanagement. There’s never really any in between.

    We’ve had a great start all things considered but I’m talking about tight games where his decisions during the game could’ve swung them. All the games we’ve won we’ve had a starting lineup good enough to win it

    Not only made a better start than Brendan, he’s done it twice...

    Hindsight managers are never wrong.

    Still think we deserved to win the game. We wasted a number of good situations in the first half, and in the second there were two big chances for McGregor, a couple of decent efforts from Bayo and one from Hayes. Jullien missed a big chance froma few yards out and we should have had two penalties.

    How many real chances did Hibs have? I can remember a decent effort from Mallan and a cross from the left in the second half that Boli defended well. Hard to blame this on Lennon.

    I do think we should ease up on the amount of crosses and long shots we take, though. I know it was often too slow under Rodgers and Lennon doesn't like that, but there is a middle ground between keep ball and shoot/cross on sight. We could have kept Hibs penned in a wee bit more and kept working the ball instead of crossing or shooting so often and really turned the screw. Also, too often when the ball broke loose our players weren't in position to pick up the loose balls and that gave Hibs a breather on quite a few occasions in the second half.

    Facts are, the strength of the squad will mean there’s always plenty of room for criticism.

    Hayes comes on at Ibrox and scores, Lenny’s a genius. Comes on today, doesn’t, Lenny’s clueless.

    People * and moaning about Sinclair not playing all season, subbed on today, people go ballistic because it was at Forrest’s expense...

    We drew today to a jammy own goal, an off day infront of goal and having two absolute stonewall penalties denied. First points dropped all seasons. It happens.

    This sums it up well for me..

    It's just frustrating the underutilised firepower that we left on the bench or subbed off..

    He does need desist with the Christie on the right in attempt to shoehorn all his quality CMs into the side, just rotate them and keep Forrest on the right.

    We might not have set the high standards of previous week's but we done more than enough to win that game.

    It's cheating for that second penalty especially. I would love to hear an excuse to the contrary.

    You don't even have the easy out of he was going away from goal, the contact severely limited the quality of the cross.

    Even go to a diamond..

    Edouard and Bayo up top. Fullbacks as near on wingers and have Forrest, Elyounoussi or Rogic at the tip..

    I do disagree with that mate, Christie switching to the right and Forrest on the left got us a draw in France.
