Hibs fans are asking the same brutal question after another derby collapse: is David Gray out of his depth, or have Hibs finally hit the ceiling under his management? The first-half horror show, the tactical standstill, and three soft goals turn this into far more than a post-match rant.
Matty and Colin pull no punches as they break down the disastrous Easter Road defeat, from the baffling refusal to change shape early enough to the way Hearts swarmed Hibs out of the game. They pick apart the first booking, the red card, the disallowed goal, and the defensive lapses that made the whole night feel like slow motion disaster.
You’ll hear:
why the opening 45 minutes had fans calling Gray tactically out of his depth
how Hearts targeted Hibs’ weak spots with pressure, width, and simple movement
why Passlack, Hanley, and Iredale all come under scrutiny for the goals conceded
what Chaiwa changed when he came on, and why the second-half response still wasn’t enough
whether Lowe is being unfairly blamed, or if Hibs’ loan-striker model is the real problem
The episode also tackles the bigger picture: a third full season under Gray, a transfer window that shuts without solving the striker issue, and a fanbase that is increasingly split between patience and resignation. With comments from listeners flooding in, the discussion gets into the future of the manager, the shape of the squad, and whether the club’s home form is damaging more than just results.
If you want the raw, unfiltered post-derby reaction Hibs supporters are having right now, this is essential listening. Frustrated, honest, and full of proper analysis, it’s the conversation every fan is having after a night that felt all too familiar.
