@calumkelly8: "2 points dropped. Shot ourselves in the foot with that first 20 minutes, probably the better team for the remainder but we really need to start games better, especially defensively."

@stevemcmahon13: "Disappointing to not get the 3 points but Paul McGinn and Greg Docherty looking like they'll do a job for Hibs. And Christian Doidge just can't stop scoring."

@DavWilliamson6: "Gray and Marciano were poor, McGregor and Stevenson average, Hanlon done well, Omeonga, Allan and Horgan poor, McNulty anonymous when he came on, Boyle Average, Doidge huffed and puffed and took his goal well."

@Liam_F1875: "That Hibs back 4 can’t play together again, some great pro’s but the legs are going/gone. They need some fresh legs in next to them. Docherty looks a player."

@Brez01: "No time for sentimental value now I’m afraid. That back four should have been replaced ages ago."

@aldoshaw: "Hibs were s**** today. McGinn looks solid. Docherty is a wee class act, McNulty looks a bit off the pace but hes not played in months so to be expected. The defence is past it I'm afraid. As much as I love McGregor, Gray, Hanlon and Stevenson we need replacements."

@Rhind_D: "Only positive the day was we never crumbled at 2 nowt. defence is dire docherty gave us a bit of life when he came on don't get why whitty wasn't even on the bench."

@yekimevol: "We sure that hecky left? One man up top, no pressing with everyone retreating 5 yards back the moment we lose the ball and failing to beat beat bottom 6 teams at home ... doesn’t feel like it."

@HibsNZ: "A decent back 4 and we're probably 3rd! F**k knows why we didn't even try to bring someone defensive in!"

@Widsaay1620: "No doubt about who’s got the better deal out of Kamberi/Docherty. Boys a player. Thanks."

@parry1875: "Greg Docherty looks like he will be a really good player for us, played 30 minutes and I would have given him MOTM! Paul McGinn looked solid aswell. The rest of the defence needs binned and sorted out in the summer!"

@paulwelshscot: "Docherty a stand out player at the Hibs game today, one of the shining lights."
