Hibs’ Head Coach Alan Stubbs insists that his players will have to get over their disappointment following yesterday’s last minute defeat to Falkirk by taking three points from next week’s game against Alloa Athletic at Easter Road.
Yesterday’s game could have gone either way with Hibs being denied a penalty and Paul Heffernan having a shot cleared off the line before David McCracken’s last gasp winner, but Hibs remain in play-off contention, two points above the ‘Bairns’ and three behind Queen of the South.
Speaking to Hibs TV, Stubbs said: “Overall, I’m disappointed, but we need to remember we have been on a decent run and the most important thing now is that the team react in the right way and take it out on Alloa next week at home.
“The lads have been great and have done really well, but if they ever needed to be reminded that if they dip below the necessary standards we set then we run the risk of results of like that.
“So they have to learn and learn quickly – if they don’t then they know what will happen.
“I think to really hit them hard after what they’ve done recently would be harsh. They’ve been told it wasn’t acceptable, but we put it to bed and move on to next week against Alloa.”
