Must have the worst distribution I've seen in my life

he gets in some great positions going forward - 9/10 doesn't beat the 1st man

To me, he looks to have gone backwards from last year for some reason

Laughable. Out of all the players you pick out gray. He was hibs best player today.

Mcginn distribution was much worse than gray today

Here we go FFS nothing ever changes eh!

***Carheenlea*** · 26-09-2015 04:16 PM

He was awarded the MOTM this afternoon.

***The Sundance Kid*** · 26-09-2015 04:17 PM

He is top of our assist chart this season

***hibee_girl*** · 26-09-2015 04:18 PM

Seriously? Gray was fine today, McGinn's distribution was awful

Clearly the opening post is OTT but I wouldn't disagree that Grays gone backwards this year.

Yes he got the assist today but far too often he moves infield and makes the park smaller for us. When you're relying on your full backs for the only width in the team they need to play a lot better than Stevenson and Gray have this season

**Pretty Boy** · 26-09-2015 04:34 PM

Surely no single player can be singled out for poor distribution today, I think balls into the box found a Hibs shirt about 4 times all game.

The decision to have Cummings dropping 30 yards from goal, or his decision to do so, to get on the ball didn't help as we quite often we had not one single player adavnced of the man in possession.

I would single out McGinn and question why he wasn't subbed after an hour. Distribution was awful.

Also, as many people have pointed out previously, Boyle is not a striker

**hibee92** · 26-09-2015 04:47 PM

Christ have you ever watched him play outside today?

Probably the biggest exaggeration ever on .net and that's saying something.

**Smartie** · 26-09-2015 05:06 PM

I thought he did well and his distribution was fine, given that he didn't have a whole lot to hit most of the time.

He'd probably be the last person I'd be pointing the finger at today.

**StevieBoyKdy** · 26-09-2015 06:17 PM

Stevenson, McGinn and Henderson were all poor today. Passing as a team wasn't there from them. Total come down compared to Wednesday, back to reality.

I thought both Stevenson and Gray's final ball today was awful yet Gray gets Man of the Match

lets face it one of Stevenson's crosses was that bad today it almost went in to the top corner. Very frustrating we need better attacking options with both those areas, we have 10 Strikers but don't have a back up left back.

The majority of moves go through Stevenson and his inability to cross the ball or take the ball to the by line is a major flaw in our set up. Grays final ball is not much better.
Given the way mcGregor played on Wednesday I wonder if there is a case for playing the 3 centre halls with the likes of Boyle or McGeough at wing back , certainly against these teams intent in sitting in their own half.

We do have a back up left back ,however Eckersley is recovering from an operation so not yet fit

Agreed mate, I would like to see this more so the likes of Boyle at wing back McGeough for me needs to stay central but I think Boyle is fast and can tackle too he had a couple of great tackles today. I am not a fan of Stevenson he offers us nothing going forward his final ball is not good enough but yet he is the first name on the team sheet I will go and get my

on as I am sure the Stevenson Love brigade will come on soon and say he is a hard worker

Well we don't if he is not fit who else do we have to come in for Stevenson?

**jabis** · 26-09-2015 06:53 PM

could admins check if the OP is into dogfarting.com ,or similar?

**Onion** · 26-09-2015 06:53 PM

Agree he's not playing with the freedom and confidence he had when he first joined us, maybe the role of captain has taken something from his game. But today I though he was excellent. Made the Hibs goal with a great backpost header and put in a couple of great balls into the box in 2nd half, but no Hibs player smart enough to be on the end of them.

**Hannah_hfc** · 26-09-2015 06:53 PM

Ahh the good old Lewis Stevenson debate

.....wasn't long ago we had a flag made for him and several threads singing his praises.

Unfortunately for Lewis, the only time he doesn't get singled out for negativity is when he's putting goals in past der hun!

Thought he had one of his best games since his injury today.

***Callum_62*** · 26-09-2015 07:21 PM

I see we are all in agreement then?

I like Gray - and possibly distribution is the wrong word (his general ball retention is good)

His final ball though is mostly rubbish

Its probably harsh, but he gets in so many good positions bombing up that wing, the amount of times he fails to find a green shirt from there is pretty poor

the last seconds of the game being a prime example

Im sure his cut backs and crosses were far more effective last year?

10 Strikers ? Really ? Don't think so, can yo name them for me.

No back up left back ? - Eckersly left then has he ? Still, never let the truth get in the way of a good rant eh.

cummings made that decision not the manager

Its actually 11 but if you don't count the two lads on loan its 9

Dom Malonga
Farid El Algui
Jamie Insall
James Keatings
Islam Feruz
Henri Anier
Jason Cummings
Oli Shaw
Danny Handling
Lewis Allan
Conor Duthie

Not really back up if he is injured though and he is leaving in January for the USA. So to my point no fit left back really knocking on the door to challenge for the left back position.
