Here is my Hibs dressing room history lesson after David Gray bared his teeth and now it's make or break - Tam McManus

Angry, disappointed and frustrated. More individual errors and if the same players make the same mistakes then they won’t be in the team.

It’s a well worn message from countless Hibs managers, same old lines, different voices and I’ll get to David Gray in a minute but first an Easter Road dressing room history lesson. Bobby Williamson battered open the door after we’d lost 4-1 at home to Dunfermline. A fifth defeat from six to start the the 2002-03 season and he shouted. “See you lot, you are going to get me the sack.” I’ve cleaned up the language but he called individuals out and the following week we went to Celtic as lambs to the slaughter, drew 1-1 and then won five on the bounce.

A make or break moment has arrived at Hibs once again. We should be getting used to these by now. David Gray has come out and had a bit of a blast at the players, he went on record after the defeat to Celtic at the weekend and it was good to hear. It’s by far the most critical he has been. His comments about the players making the same old mistakes will have been heard loud and clear inside the dressing room and every new manager has to bare his teeth and show who’s the boss and it’s about making individuals accountable. He said he can’t keep picking the same players who are making the same mistakes so I would expect to see major changes in the line-up this Saturday against Dundee.

The season starts now for Hibs, the next three games are Dundee at home, Kilmarnock away and then St Johnstone at home after the international break. That’ll be a make or break period as far as I’m concerned. The Dundee game is now massive, if Gray and his team have any aspirations of getting into the top six then I believe they will need to finish above Dundee
