Lee Johnson admits he is 'sick to death of the mediocrity' shown by his Hibs side as they fell to another defeat.
It was a derby day to forget for the Hibees as they suffered their biggest loss in the Edinburgh fixture since that infamous Hearts win in the Scottish Cup final in 2012 and resigned Johnson's men to an eighth defeat in ten games. It has been a horror run for the Leith outfit who watched Lawrence Shankland net a double and Stephen Humphrys score late to pile on the pressure.
And Johnson was quick to hammer his side's performance as he told BBC Scotland: "The first half was sorry, it wasn’t enough. We had a couple of big opportunities to score but inevitably they were more clinical than us. They looked tidier in those second balls.

“Key moments in the game they delivered and we didn’t. I think that is a little bit of the story at the moment at the club. It’s a fantastic football club but we’re not doing enough at the moment. I think that showed today in the first half.
“There’s no doubt mentally we’ve got to be stronger as a team. I’m sick to death of the mediocrity in that final third. We lift everyone by getting into the final third, but the final action is the most important action."
