What they're saying

"
Hibs fans, we asked for your views after Thursday's defeat to Malisheva in Conference League qualifying. David: Worst performance from a Hibs team I have seen in 45 years of supporting them, every player was a 1/10. It's half time in the tie and there has to be a positive result in the second leg or David Gray could well be in trouble.
