Doubt very much McNulty is match fit, Docherty either. Kamberi, McNulty, Docherty and McGinn are all on the bench this afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Kamberi on *** tv at half time there. Apparently told his agent after his second game for Hibs, which was at Ibrox, that it's his dream to play there because they have the best fans in the world.

AberdeenHibee Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 We are a really frustrating side at the moment. We have a top 4 midfield and attack, but a bottom 6 defence. Against lower-ranked teams, we seem to be making a habit of drawing by dominating large swathes of the game, only to be undone by severe lapses in defensive concentration to undo a lot of good work. I enjoy what I am watching and we aren't far off being a really good side, but defence needs completely overhauled in the summer i.e. two new CBs, a new LB, and a brute for a CDM to provide cover for certain games. FYI I was quite impressed by St Mirren yesterday. We made it easy for them, but they attacked with real purpose throughout the first half. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Paul McGinn to start and Jackson back in for Sevco game I hope. I'd give Bogdan a shirt also. Just don't see us getting anything tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of years up and they’ve spent good money and are now back to where the used to be. It’s unfortunate but it was always going to happen. They are now technically insolvent now ! Hooray !

Hard to disagree with any of that, especially the bit in bold. Hanlon's drop-off is really worrying, especially given he's only just turned 30. Current deal runs out in '22 so finger's crossed he can get a spell out of the team and get back to his old form. Porteus' injury troubles are a big issue as well, and I'd agree we need a couple of centre halves in, in place of Jackson and, sadly, Daz. CDM is maybe the single biggest issue if we're going to continue playing this shape, and not signing someone specifically for that role (again) in Jan seems really daft. With the personnel we've got is there an argument for switching to a 3-5-2 or similar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 We have exactly the same defence we had 5 years ago in the Championship. Gray, McGregor, Hanlon, Stevenson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conboyhibs Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 3 minutes ago, Henderson to deliver ..... said: We have exactly the same defence we had 5 years ago in the Championship. Gray, McGregor, Hanlon, Stevenson. Doig will hopefully slowly replace Stevenson. McGinn will replace Gray. Jackson is actually pretty good but I think Porteous will play when he's fit. Hanlon still has a part to play but I wouldn't be against replacing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not quite the same thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Bridge Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 For me Hanlon needs to be the ball player in a back 3 to get the best out of him. He's not the best at the traditional aspects of defending which stands out more when he's in a back 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) This summer needs to be the transfer window where sentimentality goes out the window and Stevenson, Hanlon etc get replaced as guaranteed starts. I have a lot of love for that group of guys but as long as we continue to reward players for 2016, we're going to stay floating around mid-table.

St. Jude Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) 5 years ago to the day since this goal One of my favourite Hibs goals and away wins. For the first time in my life we went into a game away at Ibrox expecting to win. I miss those days..... edit. If you look closely you can see the most handsome c**t ever to wear a *** top.

ewan14 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 3 - 5 - 2 brought the right result last night even though Newell got stuck out on the left Unfortunately , as someone said , against Killie ( Scotland's second favourite team a.t.m ) 4 - 4 - 2 will probably be the best formation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibsFan Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Jamie Gullan’s just scored a hat trick in 18 minutes for the development team against Huddersfield. Worth some first team game time at some point surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he will be a perma fixture on the bench for the rest of the season, coming on for a tiring McNulty or Doidge in 2nd half of matches. Certainly knows where the goals are. eta.......just got his 4th ! eta.....and a 5th Edited February 18, 2020 by Green Day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
