Hibs’ Head Coach Neil Lennon believes that his players deserved ‘something’ from last night’s Edinburgh derby.
A wonder goal from Oli Lee separated the sides with Hibs almost equalising when Steven Whittaker’s long range effort stuck the inside of the post but spun along the goal line and out of play.
Lennon knows that his team will have to improve or are likely to finish in the bottom six and he is planning to bring in some players during the January transfer window.
After the game Lennon told BBC Sportsound: “I’m disappointed, I feel we deserved something out of the game, we didn’t deserve to lose the game. We lost a goal to a quality strike then the grease paint cost us an equaliser.
“It wasn’t a poor performance by any manner of means, I think we tried to really force the game, especially second half. “It’s been an aspect of our play the first half of the season, our strikers haven’t been firing, and that needs to be addressed – by getting better ones in. “We’re not physical enough or creative enough, tonight’s a prime example. It needs to be addressed in January.
“I thought Kamberi was very good on Wednesday, but he was off the pace tonight. We’ll leave it at that.
“I’m not going to call out Flo publicly, I did that before and got a reaction, he knows he wasn’t at his best tonight, but he’s a young player still learning the game.
“We had a really good season last year and we sold players for money. If we don’t improve we’ll finish in the bottom six.”
