I thought our midfield vs QotS was the best that our midfield specifically had performed all season. No coincidence that Fyvie had an excellent game that day, either.
I'd love him to stay as I reckon he makes us tick but don't think he will, unfortunately.
On a separate note, I think that Bartley will be a big player for us next season in the games vs Celtic, Rangers & Aberdeen (especially away from home).

Over the last couple of months Lennon has hardly picked him. Maybe he's just one of this ignorant characters.

It's very rarely that Fyvie plays and is not one of our most influential players. Even when he's not at his best , he never hides and is always looking to get on the ball. I'd be making it a priority to re-sign him.

There is no doubt that we are at our most fluent when Fyvie plays alongside McGeouch and McGinn. Although I understand that some people get frustrated at the odd iffy pass, which he is certainly prone to, I really like Fyvie as a player - I would love to see us keep him but I'm not convinced he will stay. He doesn't just play easy passes sideways, as someone suggested. He plays with intelligence, and I'm not talking about match-winning through balls (a la Allan), but passes that move the opposition around and allow guys like McGinn, McGeouch and Shinnie the freedom to find little pockets of space. Allied to this, he is also excellent at constantly moving into space himself to give teammates an option to pass to. IMO it is no coincidence that the team looked so much more fluid and comfortable when he was brought in against QOS.
If we have to compare the two, Bartley serves a purpose in particular games, and I love seeing him swat people off the ball, but he is nowhere near as good at moving the team from defence into attack as Fyvie. I also think that he is aware of his limitations and therefore hides a bit when we are in possession, which contributes to us playing the kind of football the fans have bemoaned for much of this season.
However, on Saturday Lennon had a decision to make. We'd started terribly and, rightly or wrongly, the starting line-up had clearly been put together on the basis of keeping it tight and playing on the counter. The idealist in me wished it had been Bartley that was sacrificed, as I believe Fyvie is a much better 'footballer', but when you consider the yellow card and the type of game we were going to implement once Holt was on, you have to say Lennon made the right choice.

Talk about our own players like what? I'm not the one who brought up his cup final performance when it's completely irrelevant. What he did almost a year ago shouldn't influence his future after his performances this season. I don't rate him, I don't see what others see in him. Doesn't mean I go to Easter road and boo him. I'm entitled to voice my opinion like anyone else on here. if you don't like it then ignore it, I really won't care any less.

Lennon didn't see it because it isn't close to being true.

Lennon on Fyvie in today's Scotsman:
Lennon explained that he has had a chat with Fraser Fyvie, who was visibly annoyed at being substituted after 33 minutes on Saturday. “I saw him on Sunday [at the player of the year dinner] and I just asked him if he was okay,” said the manager. “He said he was fine. Look, he has every right to react the way he did, or feel the way he did. I would have been exactly the same. Gordon [Strachan] took me off in a cup final, and I wasn’t exactly delighted about it. But you understand. As a manager, I had to make a decision. It turned out to be the right decision. It wasn’t down to Fraser. The fact he was on a booking pre-empted that as well. I had to make a change.”

When you play through fyvie he makes us tick. He is like Claros, he won't jump into the game cold but play things through him and he he is the centre of the team.
Could easy play at top sides but hopefully we will keep him here.

The fact is Fyvie hasn't kicked on after the cup win and TBH quite a few players haven't kicked on as we expected them to. Fraser has only made 19 appearances this season in the league, which is a pretty poor return for a player with his experience, he's another who's had a stop start season due to niggly injuries. Can we do without Fyvie, yes we can which has been proved this season, can we get better, probably yes we can. Fraser is a tidy decent midfielder but I think his game has plateaued out and he's not improved much since he came to Hibs.

My point was that your criticism was hyperbolic. To argue that Fraser hasn't played well since the cup final is simply ridiculous and loses you any credibility straight away. The facts that get in the way of your opinion are that Neil Lennon picked him as a starter pretty much every week until his last injury. Alan Stubbs did the same. Many supporters that I've spoken to even had Fraser as MoM against QoS recently.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but mine is that Hibs supporters should at least make an attempt to be fair to their own players.
I may well ignore future posts of yours but only where they are the same wild exaggerations as your one on this thread. Anything that's sensible I will read - I'm sure you'll be glad to know.
