Barker

[Billy McKirdy]

On a positive note I thought young Brandon done well when he came on, felt sorry for him as too many of our players were well off the pace but I could see he really has something to offer.

[Nicho87]

Yeah ok. Didn't like him bottling out a fifty fifty in centre midfield though. However he was maybe following the starting elevens example

[Billy McKirdy]

Really? that's a bit unfair, he showed character in the final third and linked well in my opinion.

[wookie70]

Did ok but hard game to make a debut

[Smartie]

A hard game to make a debut but I thought he contributed very little and the fact that we were carrying him as a passenger led to us falling out of the game.

Then he got the ball, went on that run and showed us all exactly what he could do. Brilliant, driving run from deep that unsettled their defence for the first time really on what was a very comfortable afternoon for them.

If we can work out how to use him properly he could be very effective for us.

I have a hunch he'll blow hot and cold.

[cleanyman]

This is the big league now. Hard to judge but didn't do much. Accies dealt with him pretty easily

[hibee_girl]

I thought he looked uncomfortable when he first came on but got better as the game continued. He had a few good runs, looks like a good addition imo.

[hibsbollah]

He lost possession a few times and was generally careless with possession until the nice run and shot late on, which was probably the first bit of quality we'd seen all afternoon.

He's obvious impressed the management and I'm looking forward to seeing him establish himself.

[ekhibee]

My understanding was that he's a left winger so was playing out of position most of the game. That run he made not long before the end of the game showed what he can do, perhaps just needs another game or 2. Roberts wasn't an instant success at Celtic but he turned into one, lets hope we can do the same with Brandon.

[TelaStella]

Didn't do much to impress me today, looked a bit like a Duncan Wattmore. Still, too early to say really.

I was gobsmacked when he was put on. Lennon said he's not match for, and then threw him on
Just shows you the lack of width we have in the forward areas

Just hope he gets a few development games under his belt to add to his fitness

[ancient hibee]

Don't think he received anything remotely like a decent pass.

[Vini1875]

Once he is up to speed I think he will be a decent player. Today was a tough start for him.

He didn't, but I didn't see him getting himself into many decent positions to receive one.

[ancient hibee]

Not sure that he really knew where he was supposed to be

[Golden Bear]

He started off in the middle, was switched to wide left and finished the game on the wide right! A baptism of fire if ever there was. It he was signed as a wide left player then let the lad play there.

[TheMentalHibees]

Don't think he's fully fit, had a couple flashes today but think once he's up to speed he'll make a good contribution.

Tin hat on, but when he was brought on I didn't see anything in him that Fraser Murray wouldn't have offered (I suppose arguably experience). Don't want us to stunt his development! Having said that, obviously can't judge Barker based on that today.

[Brummie_Hibs]

4/10 - which ironically makes him no better of worse than the rest of the team.

sorry for saying this but his brief stint reminded me a bit of Alan o' Brien.

His late run looked promising though, hopefully he will be nothing like O Brien.

Far too early to judge of course.

And probably unfair on him, throwing him on when he's hardly played a competitive game this season

[keep the faith]

He was miles off it today. Think he should be in training and dev games for a few weeks before we see him in the first team squad again.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Let's not try to draw any conclusions from the laddies first 30 mins on the pitch.

Especially when he was brought on while the rest of the team were obviously having a wee day off......

[neil7908]

There's no way anyone can draw any conclusions based on his time on the pitch today

[Mibbes Aye]

Very, very early to judge and he will learn so much from playing first-team football. It really is a different level, regardless of the calibre of the club you've been loaned from.

I will be interested to see how he does against teams that set up more openly against us. That will give him more opportunities and hopefully build his confidence.

Hamilton were very open against us. No parking of the bus, just better all over the park today.

[Roxyhibee]

The best football brain in the world couldn't have concluded anything from young Brandon's performance today.

Ridiculously early, terrible team display by every single player around him, brand new environment.

[Jones28]

Had high expectations but very harsh to judge a debutante today.
