    Simon Murray

    It's looking like a great piece of business bringing this laddie in. In a straight replacement for Cummings I reckon we've won a watch. It will be impossible to tell as we will quite literally be in a different league but he will do just fine.

    He looked absolutely delighted to score today.

    Good to see.

    Against Dunfermline even just having someone chase the ball down led to them making mistakes. His pace will cause all sorts of problems and if he can make runs like today's goal then perfect.

    I like Murray, think he offers a lot.

    Delighted for him that he scored today

    Keep up the good work Simon !

    No wonder he will be thinking he's got to shut a few people up. Don't kid yourselves on that young lads like him don't google hibs fans forum before he signed or throughout that process. He will have read some bile on here and will have the drive to answer questions even more so than this driven young man has.

    2 goals in 2 games even in pre season is a good sign.

    The man will score goals for us. He chases everything down and rarely squanders an opportunity when presented with one. A good solid signing.

    Looked a good player today (didn't pay much attention when he was with Dundee Utd). Thought he worked his backside off, and looked better when he had a partner.

    If we can find a Cummings type, I think he'd dovetail very well with them, the runs and constant running he brings will create space, and he'll chip in with his fair share of goals too.

    well done Simon

    I wasn't impressed at all, touch was terrible.

    Was a friendly though so won't write him off just yet.

    The service to him was terrible on quite a number of occasions, but he still chased down every lost cause and kept the ball in play when it appeared to be heading out for a goal kick.

    I was pleasantly surprised with how good he was today.

    Chased lost causes, linked up play, never gave the defenders anytime and scored.

    What more do we want?

    International defenders at that.

    I don't believe he is as technically good as Cummings but reckon he could be as effective as a goal-poacher.

    A straight replacement for Cummings, seriously

    Unconvinced. On the plus side he grafted and chased lost causes and got a goal. However his first touch is abysmal - typified when he managed to control the ball into his own face.

    Hoping it's a lack of match sharpness that's causing it and hope he can chip in with a decent tally this season.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    No, he's a very different player from Cummings. He actually shows effort. May not score everytime he touches the ball, but he'll do more all round compared to Cummings. When you have a sqaud of players like that, then you don't need an out and out goal scorer as everybody will chip in.

    Why not? How do you think Jason would have done today for instance?

    Touch is no worse or better than Cummings.

    I look forward to seeing just how many Murray will score.this season, I think he has the.potential.to get as.many as.Cummings, I am basing.that on his attitude and willingness to.work his backside off to work defenders and get into positions in the box. Also his movement to get round the back of the defender for his goal was good to see. JC never scored with every chance !!
    I am not negating JC and what he gave us but I have a feeling this guy might.just have a least a similar impact !! If so all is good !!

    I think Murray will do just fine, score loads of goals, and still have people say he's pish.

    I have a mate who remains convinced that Stephen Fletcher is pish, despite his obvious and good record.

    True, though considering probably Boyle and Swanson are the only others we can rely on to chip in I think it's obvious we need a striker we can expect to get 15+ next season.

    A lot better, Simon was poor today. Runs around a lot without doing much.

    This is where I am. I feel he will offer a whole lot more than Jason. I certainly can't see him sitting in his erse waving his hands about and that used to infuriate me.

    Of course he would. Poor? Behave yourself.

    I work with United fans who constantly moaned about Murray, saying his first touch is awful. To be honest, there were signs of that today but it is very early days, players getting match fit etc. Still think he will be more of an impact sub for us.

    The CH never really gave him a sniff the whole game but he ran the channels well and took his chance when it came his way. I was impressed by his performance. One slight criticism is that he needs to work on his ball control imo.

    He scored a goal which ultimately was what we judged Cummings on.
