Stevenson, another stalwart, was also dropped recently. This happens

SDG was given too much of the ball in the first half in an attaching sense dUE to our midfielders not showing enough for the ball and he was the only out ball from the back 4. Lost count of the amount of times a high type diagonal ball was played out to him.
The real issue here was the middle of the park where up until the second half, when Dylan got a grip of it and Boyle came on, we had nothing creatively. It's been a constant feature this year to date.
Not going to be popular but outside of the 2-2 draw at parked McGinn has been poor also.....he needs to create a lot more and score a lot more too.......where's my tin hat.....

Poor at the goal but otherwise thought Davy Gray did fine today. Works his socks off for the cause.

Without doubt the stupidest post in the history of Hibs Net.
As someone who has had his own fair share of contenders that's really saying something.

Whittaker is a better RB option attacking, SDG is a better defender, so it's a tricky one for Lennon. Hence, at 2-0 down Whittaker came on. Good decision. 👍

If he would improve this aspect of his game we would have a £10 million player on our hands.

I'm not sure what the competition is but putting me up there " in the entire history of Hibs.net" is a milestone for this Hibby.
Re-read the post and you will see that I offered 3 possible scenarios. The first two are possible and, unlikely, but the third is my guess/take on his failure to impact in the final third.

As others have said it's a difficult decision for NL. DG is a better defender but SW is far more effective going forward, he creates and scores goals. At the moment I'd have SW in ahead of DG.
As for SJM, he's not been anywhere near consistent enough. Against St Johnstone he was unplayable, and against Celtic in the league game after a poor first 15 minutes or so was excellent and showed what a player he can be. Yesterday I thought he was very poor, misplaced passes, lost possession didn't drive forward anywhere near enough. On his game I think he's our best midfielder, but too often this season he's not been on his game. I fully expect him to leave in January and at that point Slivka will hopefully get a chance to play in the middle in a more advanced role. Like others I think he is wasted out wide (as is McGeouch when he plays there) but I've seen enough to think he is a talent.

Both good players and a great headache for us to have.
SDG - better defender and no nonsense.
SW - better passer and better going forward.
Think Lennon made the correct call. We wanted to be in the game at half time, so opting for the better defender of the 2 was probably the correct decision. just unfortunate a couple of lapses in concentration and individual errors cost us dear. However we never looked in any great trouble in the first half, kept the ball well (without too much of a threat) and had a solid shape about us.
Once we had gone 2 down, Lennon again made the right call, IMHO, and had to play the SW who offers more going forward. We were chasing the game so that became a no brainer.
I think the gaffer called it correct in both starting SDG then changing it to SW when a 'riskier' approach was required.
I hope we keep both players happy. Over the season both will be needed.
My tendency would be to to start Gray in games against the better sides (especially away) and change it if need be during the game. But would prefer to see SW start the games where we are more likely to dominate possession. If in those games we take a lead and then come under more pressure, the option is to bring SDG on to see out the game and make as a bit more solid.
If we go with a 3 at the back then i think it would always favour SW to do the 'wingback' role.
Very much horses for courses our options at right back this season IMHO.

after watching the highlights for the first time this morning...Gray was marking Lustig for the second goal...and lost him. I wonder if that was one of the factors that got him hooked..

Gray had a decent.first season and as someone said earlier has had a few good games but his general performances are not near the level we.need. He gives little I sit in the East and watch him closely when he plays and get so frustrated, he often has acres of space and doesn't ask for.the ball, if he gets forward his crossing is poor and then his ability to burst a gut to get back is lacking ! And also has been said I can think of too many occassions where he has been taken apart by wide players with a bit of pace ...he just.doesnt.seem.to have the.old.desire.or capability and has been living of a cup winning.goal ..

Gray started because Whittaker has an injury.Gray is a steady player but clearly does not have Whittaker’srange of passing.

Strange that I was called the biggest slaver on here a few months back for saying Gray wasn't that great. Don't think he was massively at fault yesterday tbh but Whittaker is clearly better.
