Jack Ross says Hibs have to ‘rectify inconsistency’

Hibs’ Head Coach Jack Ross said that his players have to
rectify their inconsistency for the second half of the season after yesterday’s
defeat to Livingston which followed the memorable derby win at Tynecastle.

Speaking after the final whistle, Ross said: “We didn’t
deserve to win the game. There was not a lot between the teams the first half
and then the goal does have an impact and post-goal we were a long way short of
being good enough.

“The games we’ve played shouldn’t have had an effect, there
is always an emotional come down from a big game like Thursday but physically
we were in the same place as Livingston, they played away from home.

“I wouldn’t look at that as a factor, we have been a little
bit like that in recent times, inconsistent with what we’ve produced and it’s
something we need to rectify.”

Ross will now have he chance to take stock during the winter
break with the transfer window about to open.

He added: “There has been a lot crammed into a short period
of time for me, a lot of fixtures and I’ve been learning about the team all the
time.

“I probably wanted to get to this point big in an okay
position and we’ve managed that. We a’re in the top half and we’d like to have
an even more positive points total but it has given us an okay footing to push
on in the second half. “

“I do think there’s one or two areas we need to be stronger
in and have more options but we also need to make room  within our squad to do that.

“We’ve got a bit of time in that we don’t play again for a
few weeks but and that allows us to see what we can do but I’ve very much
worked on the premise of making the best of what I’ve got.”
