Gray future under scrutiny & are Hibs in decline?
· Yahoo Sports
BBC Scotland's Edinburgh football reporter Brian McLauchlin has been answering some of your questions on Hibs.

Kieran asked: Do you think we've reached our maximum potential with David Gray? I personally feel we are underachieving with this squad, three wins against top-six sides this season, consistently boring football to watch.
Scott asked: What would be your view on Hibs bringing in an experienced coach to assist Gray with his game management for next season?
Brian answered: Any manager at any club in any league is only ever as good as the recruitment. And while Hibernian have invested heavily in recent years it's fair to say, other than one or two players, this has been underwhelming.
Sometimes a supporter's view of being successful can differ from those running the club. The fans may have been disappointed to see Kieron Bowie leave in January as he was still to reach his potential.
However, when a significant offer lands - about 10 times the fee Hibs originally paid - it makes complete sense to accept.
The use of data now has become a key component in recruitment and if there is an increase in investment at the club then this is where it should happen.
As for having an experienced coach working alongside Gray, I am not sure this would add much to the backroom team already assembled.
In Eddie May he has someone with vast experience at first team and youth level to lean upon for advice. He also has Liam Craig and Craig Samson.
That trio know just about all there is to know about the Scottish game and, along with Gray, are as competent a management team as you will find in Scotland.
Aidan asked: Is this season the start of a season-by-season decline Brian? Ie, no progression in Europe, out of cup competitions early and lower-table finishes.
Callum asked: Why have Hibernian not progressed from last season given they made some positive signings? Fans feel the current manager has taken this team as far as he can, is it now time for change?
Brian answered: I certainly don't feel this is the start of a decline by the team. Two years ago Hibs finished eighth in the Premiership with 46 points. The outlook was bleak and there was little for fans to cheer.
Last season, after a very difficult start, the team finished third and would have been guaranteed European football through to Christmas were it not for a surprise win for Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup.
Few would have anticipated Hearts having a run like they have this season and there is no doubt this has hurt Hibs.
You also have to remember Gray's side only lost out narrowly and late in Europe to Midtjylland, a Champions League team in recent years, and Legia Warsaw. The brilliant victory in Belgrade in the most hostile of atmospheres provided memories to last a lifetime.
European football for next season is still a distinct possibility and although there is ground to be made up on Motherwell the gap is not unsurmountable.
So, yes, there have been disappointments this season but I don't see a steady decline. This summer's transfer window will be crucial to ensure a good start to next season.
As for getting rid of Gray, I would guard against this. Changing manager, as Hibs have found out, doesn't always work. It's 10 years this summer since Neil Lennon joined the club. Since then Paul Heckingbottom, Jack Ross, Shaun Maloney, Lee Johnson and Nick Montgomery have all come and gone.
Gray's appointment in 2024 has brought stability and given time I'm sure the success will follow.
