Rocky Bushiri and Josh Campbell were both absent from the 2-1 defeat to Livingston at the weekend after each suffering thigh problems.
But, as the late Aberdeen manager Ebbe Skovdahl once pointed out, statistics often hide the important parts.
St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson has called for ‘consistency’ after his 10-man side were stung by a late goal in a 1-0 defeat to Hibernian at McDiarmid Park on the opening day of the cinch Premiership season.
Lee Johnson hailed his last-ditch heroes and reckons it shows that Hibs aren’t a team or club in crisis.
Rocky Bushiri scored a dramatic late winner as Hibernian eventually overcame 10-man St Johnstone to triumph 1-0 at McDiarmid Park.
Lee Johnson reckons the footballing gods are conspiring against Hibs at the moment but is adamant his team will still have a heaven-sent season. First it was work permit delays, now sorted, that meant the likes of Marijan Cabraja and Elie Youan have had to kick their heels on the sidelines instead of being integrated into the team.
"But I felt worse for everyone at the club. We still have improvements to make so I feel really badly for them when the football doesn't deliver, because they're working super hard."
Insisting that the club wouldn’t dwell on the last few days, which saw an unceremonious exit from the Premier Sports Cup after the ineligible Rocky Bushiri was played against Morton and a 3-0 victory awarded to the Cappielow outfit, Johnson revealed his confidence that the Easter Road side would only get stronger.
