Angry Hibernian fans issue defiant ‘SACK THE BOARD’ message

Hibernian are in dismal form and the pressure is ramping up on beleaguered manager David Gray

Gray, 36, has Hibs on an eight-game winless run, dating back to September 14, which led to a vote of confidence from the Easter Road board prior to the recent international break.

But it appears the humiliating 4-1 away loss at Dundee on Saturday has proved the final straw for many supporters.

Fan group, Block Seven, have graffitied ‘Sack the Board’ on the wall outside the stadium since the latest defeat as they demand changes amid their team sitting bottom of the Scottish Premiership

A social media post accompanied by a video of the furious message read: “Enough is enough”.

Gray vowed to fight on as he spoke to the media following that bruising result at Dens Park.

“One hundred per cent I want to be here," he claimed.

“That’s a decision for the powers that be at the football club. I think until someone tells me otherwise, I’ll do everything I possibly can to turn this around.

“I know the players are still with me, 100 per cent. I know they’ve still got that desire to try and turn this around. And I would say that we know the areas in which we are.

“I thought the players started the game well, got ourselves in front. But unfortunately, we’ve been in this movie before where a moment of madness and a poor touch that led to a lunge tackle definitely changed the game.

“Trying to win a game in this league with 11 players on the pitch is hard enough. But to do it, being down to 10 men after such a long period of time makes it even more difficult.

“I have no complaints but it’s a massive moment in the game, a big momentum shift.

“The players are hurting in there at the moment because of the effort they’re putting in. But it’s just too many individual errors.

“You need to stick together. Confidence is something that you need to try. It doesn’t just come.”

Hibernian will look to make amends when they host Aberdeen on Tuesday night.
