Johnson says he doesn't have the squad to fight on two fronts with hibees rooted to the bottom of Premiership table.
Lee Johnson issued a bullish response to questions over his Hibs future, insisting he believes he can and will be allowed to turn things round.
But the Englishman is convinced he can get it right when he has his full squad available. Johnson claims he doesn't have the depth to be able to cope with European games in between early season league clashes, but that things will improve. Asked whether he felt he’d get the backing of the Hibs board, Johnson told BBC Scotland: “Absolutely. I know how hard we work and I know we're still a new squad and there’s been a lot of changes. We probably didn't expect this many changes.
“We wanted to start the season being successful on both fronts. The European stuff and domestically. For whatever reason it hasn't quite happened. “Games are won and lost on fine margins and it was fine margins today. We get back into the game at 1-1 after really showing some good character to get back into it.
