Dylan Levitt blames “sloppy mistakes in some key areas” for Hibs defeat to Kelty Hearts

Hibs midfielder Dylan Levitt blamed “sloppy mistakes in some key areas” for Hibs disappointing defeat to Kelty Hearts on Saturday afternoon. 

Hibs  fell to a 1-0 defeat at New Central Park with Kelty defender Callum Flatman scoring the only goal of the game. 

Hibs created numerous chances against the Fife side but were unable to score. 

Speaking to Hibs TV after the match, Levitt shared his thoughts on the performance. 

“It is very disappointing and a really bad result. I thought we didn’t move the ball quick enough, we made some sloppy mistakes in some key areas and we got punished from a set-piece, which we knew would be one of their main threats. 

“I don’t remember Smudge (Jordan Smith) having a save to make. Overall, it’s not a good look, especially for the new signings coming in and we need to be performing a lot better than that. 

“We hit the post three times in the first half, and if those go in then it’s a completely different game. 

“But we got a sucker-punch in the second half and we were always chasing the game after that.  

“They slowed the game down and managed the game. We got into some good positions but we just weren’t clinical enough. 

“We will go over this game on Monday and review it, look at the key areas that we need to be better in and hopefully, we can turn that around – starting on Wednesday.”
