David Gray seeks support amid early season struggles for Hibs

Summary

David Gray has faced significant challenges as head coach of Hibernian this season, beginning with a disappointing defeat in Kosovo and a league opener loss to Motherwell. Despite these setbacks, Gray has pointed to a strong start following a goalless draw that sets up a Conference League play-off against Gent. His recent victory against Partick Thistle in the Premier Sports Cup provides a potential turning point for the team. As Hibs navigate injuries and criticism, a positive result against Gent could help quell concerns over Gray's tenure.

What they're saying

"
It's been a huge week for David Gray. Gray has overcome early-season adversity - a shock defeat in Kosovo left a large section of the support pushing for change, while his case was not helped by defeat to Motherwell in the league opener. The past few games haven't been great on the eye, but it's a results business and Gray is right to feel vindicated by pointing to the start we've had to the season.
