Nicky Cadden insists the fact that Kasper Schmeichel was named Man of the Match says a lot about Hibs performance at Parkhead yesterday. 

Hibs had nine shots on target, but we couldn’t beat  Schmeichel and subsequently fell to a 3-0 defeat. 

That result, coupled with Hearts victory over Dundee at Tynecastle sees Hibs return to the foot of the table. 

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

“It is a hard one to take. We created some very good chances today, so to come away from the game without even scoring a goal is annoying for us. 

“Their goalkeeper got Man of the Match; so I think that says a lot about our performance. 

“They had a few chances and they took three of them. We had nine shots on target but unfortunately, we weren’t able to score any today. We are confident it will come, it isn’t something to worry about – we just need to build on that performance.” 

Cadden underlined the fact that the players need to be more clinical in both boxes, as the club approach a busy run of fixtures over Christmas and New Year. 

“We need to take the positives from today, but also look at the manner of the goals we conceded. 

“At the end of the day, we can’t concede goals like that. But we are creating chances, against the best team in the league. 

“It is tough to take when you play so well here and come away with nothing – but we need to be more clinical and make sure we are scoring goals.”
