Hibernian boss Lee Johnson admitted he and his players would need to find big improvements after going down 1-0 at St Mirren.
Keanu Baccus’ early goal proved to be the only goal of the game to leave the Easter Road side winless in four matches. Hibs seemed to run out of ideas following a flurry early in the second half that failed to produce a goal.
Johnson said: “The positive moments we have, like the two comebacks (to draw with Hearts and Rangers), the first win, builds momentum, builds team spirit. “Every negative, like today and (the earlier defeat to) Livingston, basically resets the rules.
We have to make sure we drive it forward. “Rightly we are going to get stick today. We deserve to own that today – myself more than anybody else because I pick the team, I put the team out there. “For whatever reason not enough produced their best game today.
