Hibs’ Head Coach Alan Stubbs has admitted that his team did not deserve an ‘awful lot’ from yesterday’s game against Alloa Athletic.
Many thought that last Tuesday’s victory over Livingston at Easter Road could be a turning point after a series of poor results, particularly with the ‘feel good’ factor following Martin Boyle’s wonder goal, however once again, Hibs have lost a game they were expected to win.
The result leaves Hibs six points behind second placed Falkirk, whom they meet on Tuesday night, with two games in hand, although one of these games is against champions Rangers.
After the game a disappointed Stubbs told Cliff Pike of Hibs TV: ” We didn’t look comfortable on the pitch, simple as that.
“There were too many disappointing decisions with the ball. We didn’t move the ball the way we should have done and to be honest we didn’t deserve an awful lot from the game.
“We wanted to run with it when we wanted to be passing it. We just made too many wrong decisions when we were in possession of the ball. When we weren’t in possession we didn’t work hard enough to win it back.
“Basically we didn’t work their keeper enough.
“I’ve seen replays of the goal again and it’s not conclusive so how the linesman can give it at that speed is very surprising but recently we have had quite a few decisions go against us and it has cost us and today is another one.
“We have another game on Tuesday against Falkirk which we look forward to and the fact that its a big game is a help to them and the players have to respond.”
