'If ever a sending off changed a game it was this' - Hibs fans react to 3-1 defeat by Aberdeen

Steven Whittaker's red card was the turning point in Hibs' defeat at Aberdeen.

Here are a selection of tweets from Hibs fans following the 3-1 defeat against Aberdeen.

@ses101: "In our last away game against Aberdeen, they went down to NINE men but we still couldn't hold onto a 1-0 lead. Today, we get one player sent off and collapse. Says everything about the mentality of our players. The stats don't lie - 4 wins in 13 league games."

@iannic70: "Red card changed the game. We will finish top 6."

@Corky_16: "Watching the game I said to myself Whittaker's getting sent off. If I can see that coming Jack Ross should see it coming. Poor from Whittaker and poor from Jack Ross."

@_TheRealDooley_: "Major changes needed in the summer and Ron will need to get his finger out if truly means what he said the other night! Not good enough. Can't wait to get pumped out the Scottish Cup by Hearts."

@graemeshaw62: "How many points is that we’ve now lost from winning positions this season?"

@ramsay_zenati: "We are the softest team in the league!"

@Cammy_77: "We were in no danger until the red card, if ever a sending off changed a game it was today. We didn’t help ourselves though with some as usual s**** defending but score really flattered Aberdeen."

@bodyslam44: "Hope Ron gets the cheque book out the defence is needing a heavy investment come summer."

@JDHibs: "2018/2019 Goals conceded - 39 in 38 games. 2019/202 Goals conceded - 49 in 30 games. We have conceded 10 more goals than last seasons total & we still have EIGHT games to go. That will definitely be 60+ by seasons end if we get top 6. Absolutely brutal."

@scottduncan70: "Simply cannot have a dig at Hibs today, played spot on until sending off. Good effort from all. Onto next week and the cup thereafter."

@paulwood1987: "Why are Hibs fans saying I’m no going to the semi, get Ross out, we are done etc? Think about it if Hecky was still here. We would be well lower than what we are now for sure, Ross has done a decent job I think. We were in control today at 1-0 until Whitty got sent off."
