Gray must fix Hibs discipline as 'horrible' season peters out

What a horrible afternoon it was at Easter Road on Sunday. Plenty of fans stayed away, choosing to do something else rather than watch a game where opinions were split on whether a Hibs win would actually be a good thing. For the avoidance of doubt, I can't imagine I'll ever see a day when I head to Easter Road hoping for a Hibs loss, and I certainly wanted us to win on Sunday.

Sunday at Easter Road was nothing short of a nightmare. The stands were noticeably sparse, with many fans choosing to spend their afternoon elsewhere rather than endure a match that left even the most loyal supporters divided—some wondering if a Hibs win was even in their best interest. Let me be clear: I'll never walk into Easter Road hoping to see Hibs lose. I wanted that win on Sunday as much as anyone.

The title race will be decided by others now, and whoever comes out on top will have earned it over a grueling season. We've had plenty of chances to make our own mark and simply fell short. Despite the murmurs from a frustrated fanbase, there was never any doubt that David Gray would field a team hungry for victory.

With Motherwell falling to Falkirk on Saturday, Hibs had a golden opportunity—close the gap on fourth place while keeping breathing room above sixth. But for the third straight game, we found ourselves down to 10 men early. The match was effectively over as a contest from that moment.

Gray has to make discipline his top priority. Keeping 11 players on the pitch isn't just a tactical detail; it's the foundation of any successful run. These three consecutive red cards have crushed our season's ambitions. It's not just the points lost—it's the quality of football. We've endured 270 minutes of Hibs barely throwing a punch, including painful defeats to Hearts and Celtic at home. That's unacceptable. The players must step up for their manager.

This has been a horrible season—one that promised so much and now threatens to end in the worst possible way. As we head to Falkirk, where we produced one of our worst performances earlier this year, a win is non-negotiable to keep fifth place secure. And let's be honest—fifth place is far from a successful campaign.
