Kyle Magennis insists Lee Johnson's Hibs outburst 'came out worse than it was' with the players already aware who had a future at Easter Road.
The Hibees gaffer is planning to overhaul his underperforming squad and didn't hold back in his criticism of his side following the 3-0 derby defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle. The latest loss made it nine defeats in 11 matches with the club sliding down the table. At one point they occupied third but the are now as low as eighth and looking over their shoulders.
Johnson said he has too many 'average squad' players and would rather trade off ten of them for that one player of high quality. He's admitted mistakes over recruitment in the summer but Magennis says everyone knew ahead of the game where they stood and it wasn't a shock. He's called on Hibs to bounce back against Motherwell with everyone in 'good spirits' ahead of the Sunday clash.
