Joe Newell insists Hibs players must show they’ve got the “balls” to carry out Nick Montgomery’s game plan - or they’ll be left kicking their backsides on the sidelines.
The midfielder was stand-in skipper for the new boss’ first game in charge with Paul Hanlon benched in the 2-2 at Kilmarnock on Saturday.
And former Central Coast Mariners manager Montgomery wasted no time putting his stamp on his side as they played out from the back while overloading the attack at every opportunity.
Hibs lined up with Dylan Vente and Christian Doidge up front with wide men Martin Boyle and Elie Youan supporting them in a front four in the final third.
