All this rubbish about Hibbo on here. They got just as many crosses in from the left side second half why are people not slaughtering seamus. Do people actually expect a defender in his twilight years playing off his wrong foot to go barnstorming forward when you have got the 2 most inept defensive footballers at the club in front of you. it's not Hibbo's fault garbutt wasn't chosen ,he was given a job and did it. Hibbo has shown again that he can come in and do a half decent job filling in when we have injuries.

And I think the reason for that, Dave, is simply our injury problems. They've robbed us of any chance at establishing a regular starting XI, with players getting to develop a chemistry that allows them to sense where the others will be at any given moment and play fluidly, much like Baines and Pienaar at times. You could see it today -- passes were made with the assumption the receiving player would be where the passer thought he would be, only to see the receiving player do something different. Give the team a run of a few games with an unchanged lineup and see what happens.

Injuries haven't helped, but Martinez has failed to make good decisions.

He's having a very conservative second season. IMO he's foxed on how to get the PL/EL balance right and making some bizarre team selections.
 

I thought we played pretty well today. West Ham came to give us a gave and both sides got really stuck in. McCarthy had his best game of the season, and Hibbert was solid. Good second goal. Thought Ossie played well too.

Perhaps, but then again he didn't have that issue to deal with last season and it's something I prefer he had to wrestle with instead of another season without Europe. He'll get it right once we get more starters healthy and we secure a spot in the knockout stages.

I don't mind if he picks bizarre teams and get results but we got lucky today but we've been unlucky in previous matches
I think A result against Wolfsburg will see a pay off
I think he wants to do really well in Europa
So do I tbh

Agreed. Still find the Hibbo/ Garbutt selection a bit odd. Can't have done the young man's self confidence much good
