not only did Craig not cover himself in glory defending the corner...he needlessly gave posession away in midfield leading to Raith winning said corner. He was a lot more to blame than Oxley imo and is our weakest link at the present time. He tries his best and doesnt deserve all the criticism aimed at him but he is not good enough for me and needs to move on in the summer. I also thought Handling was very poor when he came off bench...we lost the midfield when Robbo had to be subbed and Dylan had to drop deeper.

Boyle is starting just now because of the lack of alternatives.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Don't see that Oxley was in any way to blame for either the result or the goal yesterday. Had we put away any of the other numerous chances we had yesterday we'd all be having a far more relaxing weekend.

Other than injury or suspension then, at what point does cerny get a shout? They are both only here until the end of the season and I think we will be trying to keep one of them permanently.

We had 25 shots at goal and scored once.
Aye it's Oxleys fault we didn't win.

The reason we are dropping silly points is because although we completely dominate the game we just cannot seem to take our chances and finish teams off. Raith should have been completely out of sight.

But I don't think we should be talking about dropping the keeper when the strikers and other attacking players were more culpable for the failure to win.

However, we have been weak in defence for YEARS.....I recall the "golden generation" and had it not been for all the goals Riordan and O'Connor were smashing in together, we'd have seen many a similar result back then too.
Back on track. Keeper makes an arse of one shot (or is partly culpable even), he is scapegoat numero uno. Forwards miss double figures chances all game...blameless. Unfair. They are equally culpable IMHO and one could argue the forwards had innumerate chances to seal the game many times over...

Oxley never looks convincing to me.
I think our defence has done well this season protecting him.
I can't think of any game this season where I've come away thinking "that god we had Oxley, he saved us today".

There's maybe been a couple of games I think he could have done better but that doesn't merit being dropped.
If he has a few bad games he will be replaced. Until then I'm sure he will may on. Good to have some back up though but doesn't mean Oxley should be hounded out just yet.

However if Cerny is a better keeper should he not be playing?
We all want a better Hibs team to get us promoted and then do well in the top flight. To do that players will have to be replaced and I think goalkeeper is a position of concern.

He's never been tested but has looked unconvincing in virtually all parts of his game. There will be games where we will need him to perform heroics come the play-offs, and I've no confidence whatsoever. The penalties against Dundee United were a prime example- never got near any of them as he was too busy trying to use gamesmanship. His time-wasting has also cost us momentum in big games.

Oxley is a loan, Cerney is a short term deal- I just think the best players for the each positions should play. Don't see why goalies should be different. Boyle has done well the past 2 weeks but pretty sure Malonga will come straight in on Saturday to play up front.

I think he's extremely poor at coming for crossed balls and commanding his area.
I'd disagree on the point about not making saves an average keeper wouldn't have made.
I felt he was seriously at fault during the Falkirk game and cost us goals but he also pulled off a cracking save that could have seen that game turn out worse.
The one thing that needs mentioning is his distribution which I think is absolutely excellent and has been a major factor in the quality of our play this season.
We're generally playing out from the back and he's always looking to release Stevenson or Gray.
If we do bring Cerny in then he absolutely must match Oxley in that aspect.
As for the game at the weekend - have to agree with others that the problem was not taking one of the many chances we had to bury the game.
