## Resource

Hibs have turned a shaky start into a huge week, and the big question now is whether David Gray has finally shifted the mood for good. From a professional European result in brutal conditions to a massive cup tie against Partick Thistle, this episode breaks down why the next few days could define the season - and we get the scoop on a new striker signing for Hibs! Chris, Ian, Jeff, and John each bring a different angle to the debate: the resilience of Gray's side, the growing confidence in the squad, the lingering arguments about style of play, and the pressure of keeping momentum alive when every game starts to feel like a referendum on the manager. You'll hear sharp takes on the draw away from home, why some fans still want more possession and control, how Gray's team is building results in tough circumstances, and what changes could be coming for Sunday. We also dig into the latest signing scoop - 19-year-old striker Colton Swan - and what his profile might mean for Hibs' attacking options. We break down the performances of Josh Mulligan, Miguel Chaiwa, Josh Campbell, Lewis Miller, Jamie McGrath, and Elie Youan, plus the tactical trade-offs Gray faces if he wants to keep this run going. Is the criticism of Hibs' style fair, or are people still judging this team through last season's lens? If you want honest fan reaction, a debate about Gray's future, and a real sense of what these results mean for Hibs right now, this is essential listening. Hosted on Acast.
