Crisis at Easter Road - Mixu's last days?

It looks like things are going from bad to worse for Mixu at Hibs. A pre-season which has already been dismal by anybodies standards has just got a lot worse. Losing 3 - 0 to Clyde is not acceptable by any standards. No matter what was has been said in the press conferences there is something wrong at Easter Road and looks like it is getting worse.

Mixu was already panicking before tonight’s game, god knows how he is feeling now. What should have been a semi meaningless friendly had in light of Hibs inability to win a game, or even score started to become important in the His supporters eyes. As mentioned earlier, Mixu is panicking, that is why he took what he perceived as a strong team.

Hibs started with the following 11:

McNeil

Hanlon, Murray, Hogg, DVZ

O'brien, Shiels, Thicot, Rankin

Nish, Fletcher


With Maka away, Zemmama injured, Jones absent and who knows what excuse is being used for not playing Benji this week that appears to be Mixu’s preferred starting 11. That is one of the reasons that it is so worrying. Its not as if we can bring quality players to replace them, we don’t have any. When Mixu put that team out he put them out to win and to stop the talk of a crisis at Easter Road. It looks like that strategy has backfired on him big time. I hate to draw the comparison but Mixu is the footballing equivalent of Gordon Brown. Substitute the Glasgow East by-election for Clyde or Cowdenbeath and it is the same. The more you look the more it appears that there is a crisis at Hibs and with the leadership in particular. I honestly think that if Mixu is to have a future at Easter Road he is going to have to do something and whatever it is that he is going to do he is going to have to do it soon.
