Misfiring Hibs need a knee shin roller like I lucked out with to end hard luck stories - Tam McManus

The Hibs strikers put their foot in it once again at Tannadice but Lee Johnson really must be wishing they’d pull their fingers out instead.

Over the past six games, his team has racked up an incredible 120 shots on goal. They’ve had 51 corners and countless other opportunities where they’ve put the ball in the box, with the team leading the league in attempted crosses. And what have they they got to show for all that? A measly seven goals! From 120 attempts! That’s a shocking return no matter what you say.

For me, it’s the frontmen who have to take the blame because clearly the rest of the team are doing their bit laying on chances. Apart from Martin Boyle, none of the other strikers have even managed a league goal this season 10 games in. You’ve got Mykola Kukharevych, Elie Youan, Elias Melkersen, Harry McKirdy and Momodou Bojang all sitting there still to get off the mark.
