Lee Johnson has described himself as a ‘weirdo’ after admitting he is ready to play the Matt Damon role from the popular movie Good Will Hunting in a bid to find a winning formula at Hibs.
Ahead of tomorrow’s derby visit of Hearts, Johnson was taken aback at how much the Leith side lagged behind their city foes last season when it came to all the stats on the pitch. That included expected goals, box entries and percentage of box entries when you get first touch.
In the end it was the points column that mattered most last term as Hibs finished some 16 points adrift of third place Hearts. But just like the young mathematical genius played by Damon in the acclaimed Hollywood blockbuster, the Hibs boss is also planning to play the numbers game in the Easter Road dugout to make sure the figures look good come the end of the season.
