Where did it go wrong for Lee Johnson and who could Hibs turn to for their next manager?
There was a Jekyll and Hyde nature to Hibs' first few games of the season.
But in the last week, there's been less Jekyll-ing and more Hyde-ing. An expected drubbing against Premier League Villa in their European tie came before Saturday's third straight league loss to Livingston. "Johnson got a pass for the Villa defeat, but on Saturday there was no excuse. The performance was horrendous, awful. We don't seem to be learning. I don't think he knows his best XI."Johnson had dug himself out of tricky situations before at Hibs. You don't have to look too far back to remind yourself of that.
Again, the 42-year-old backed himself to climb out of another hole, speaking post-match on Saturday of how it's a new-look team and hoping for the time to turn things around. But the pressure has told as a second-leg trip to Villa Park looms on Thursday. "He's not had a period where he has found consistency. Two, three games he might win but then he'd go on a losing streak. He never managed to get the supporters behind him. He needed success on the pitch and clearly it was not happening.
