Started slowly. Conceded from a corner when nobody took ownership of a corner.

 

Changed formation, seemingly three at the back and took control of the game. Forte equalised by being persistent in the tackle, running with the ball, a nice one two with a defender and taking the ball round the keeper well.

 

Ibhere missed a sitter when through on goal, lobbing wide before good work from JCH knocked the ball back to Brian Wilson who ran aggressively into the box before knocking it back to Forte who swept it in at the near post.

 

A good first half after a mediocre start, Forte the star.

 

Second half we were :censored:e. Colchester pressed us, had numerous chances and Rachubka made a great save from an overhead kick.

 

Their goal came from Kusunga being given the ball under pressure on our right, slipping and their lad breaking away. Although his shot was cleared the rebound was swept in from an angle for a goal they deserved.

 

Okay result against a bit of nothing side. We will need to improve.

Cheers O4U. What was turnout like?

Have to be beating sides like that im afraid,they will be strugglers this season fr sure.

They had a prolific pre season, can clearly score goals. The important thing is we scored two goals away from home and it was a new player nicking those goals. It's a point, we didn't lose.

FTFY

Very true.

And the last GK to score for Hibs was Andy Goram.

Brilliant!! When abouts would that have been Jim?

And scoring goals...good debut for forte

Just what was required, a striker hitting the ground running.

Launched it forward and in comedy fashion, their keeper missed it. During open play. Links http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28647509

Isn't a goal kick indirect?

. Now you mention it, I'm sure it is. Bit like a throw in.

I think from a goal kick...

Full time 2-2

2-2, West Ham loanee

Ohhhh Jonathan Forte!!!

Charlie Mac also scores for Barnet

Mark oxley scores for hibs?! Work that one out...

I saw that! I'm assuming right from a goal/free kick.

LOL Well there goes the feel good factor- another long season ahead methinks...

Wow that's something new Rigsby, 20 minutes into the first game of the season and you've written us off. Jesus Christ...

Yes one all Forte!

They might all turn out brilliant but nobody can know.

And I hope they do. My original point is that we have made signings that appear to be of a more known quantity. And with better pedigree. Do you not agree we seem a more solid and complete unit?

They played many games for us?

Played more first team minutes for other clubs in the football league at arguably higher levels...

They all have massive d...

Dogs?

To the tune of the Macarena

Anyone?

I quite like it!

Which ones are better than the ones we had last year?

Elekobi over Kusunga. Forte,Gros,Morgan-Smith (Take your pick) over Sidney, Mills (Quality addition and IMHO better than Grounds). Kelly over Korey Smith. I could go on but I think I've made my point...

What a cracking signing this lad is. Can't believe the quality of signing from this year to last year. Can't wait for 3 pm tomorrow!
