David Gray under pressure, a broken transfer window, and the Ross County warning

Hibs fans are done making excuses. After back-to-back defeats, this episode goes straight at the biggest question around the club right now - is David Gray still the man to steady the ship, or have the transfer decisions, tactics, and results finally caught up with him?

Matty is joined by Ian Mackay, Other John, Steven B, HibeeFanIain, and Marc for a brutally honest breakdown of where it’s all going wrong.

From the frustration at McDiarmid Park to the chaos of the derby, the panel digs into why Hibs look disjointed, why the front line feels isolated, and why so many supporters are starting to fear Saturday’s trip to Ross County.

You’ll hear hard-edged reactions to the summer window, including the exits of Warren O’Hora and Josh Campbell, the gamble on youth, and the growing sense that the squad has been left weaker rather than stronger. The lads also unpack the club’s recruitment process, who really has the final say, and why the current balance of the team looks so far off.

We break down:

why Hibs are creating chances but still missing the target

whether Nathan Lowe is being set up to fail

the lack of experience, depth, and natural creativity in midfield

why the team only seems to play with urgency when it’s already in trouble

how much responsibility sits with Gray, the board, and the recruitment structure

There’s also a sharp debate about expectations, fan reaction, and whether criticism of the manager is fair or whether the club’s standards have simply collapsed. Ian, Stephen, John, Marc, and HibeeFanIain all bring a different angle, making this one of the most revealing and emotionally charged phone-ins yet.
