Time to spend some money Hibs

[Ozyhibby]

It’s been a decent run in Europe but it’s clear that the midfield needs strengthened.
Slivka and Bartley are not good enough anymore. It’s time to spend to bring in Kamara or Mulumbu or similar quality.
It’s time to show we have the ambition to match Lennon’s ambition.

We were okay. But no quality over the two legs.

Cash must be invested in the team pronto. Mallan and Slivka...jury is out.

You can't replace McGinn and McGeouch with Mallan/Bartley/Slivka. No more signings and we'll be battling it out for top 6 this season.

Mallan looks more than decent for me but Slivka is no where near good enough. Time to move him on and get quality in.

Too early to say but Slivka certainly needs to do better.

The problem is we’ve been saying it’s too early for a while now. I’m not saying he doesn’t have a future with us, but it’s certainly not in the role that McGinn played. As soon as Bartley went off Slivka was completely lost. We basically need two players to do the job McGinn did.

Thought Mallan was okay, Slivka went missing (not for the first time) and didn't think much of Hyndmann to be honest.

Really hope to see significant investment in not only a midfielder of calibre (Allan must be pursued) but a defender too.

Forget the loan market too.

Yip. I thought Mallan was very good tonight, just didn’t have much help.

This reeks of pishy pants

McGiinn Allan & McGeouch . is the difference , These players have not been replaced, you can debate all you want, but THIS is the problem. We have went from the best midfield in the SPL to well, you call it what you want.

Mental how we couldn't seamlessly replace about 7 or 8 million pounds worth of talent.

Actually its super easy , Barely an inconvenience . We have Scott Martin and Danny Swanson for collateral im sure we can swap them both for an international quality midfielder or 2

It's not seamless That is just a fact What I am saying is that we have lost the best midfield in Scotland. I m not expecting Hibs to pay Millions to replace it. But if you are happy with the
Status Quo. Then fine. When we had a chance to progress perhaps we did not take it. We will be where we are at the end of the season. Then you can reflect on the If's and Why's. Me I just want Hibs and Neil Lennon to be I the mix.

I never said I was happy but we have lost the best midfield in Scotland. On our budget that is nigh on impossible to replace is the point. We were never going to have a midfield of the same calibre this season but I think Neil has looked to balance that out by strengthening wide areas and up top.

I think losing Bartley tonight caused a major imbalance in our team and we had 3 central midfielders, none of which are defensive minded, that didn't really know how to play together.

I take the point that there’s always going to be bumps in the road replacing players of that quality.

However that’s life at a club like Hibs. If you get a few goods ones you almost have to start planning to replace them right away because 2 or 3 seasons is about your lot. I’m sure there is plenty work going on but, and I’ve said this elsewhere; Mallan, Slivka and Bartley v McGinn, McGeough and Allan is a pretty clear pointer as to where some of our issues lie. There’s not a wealth of talent sitting in the wings fighting for a place in that central midfield either. Hyndman hasn’t played a lot, Whittaker and Swanson don’t seem the answer and I think Horgan is more of a wide type.

It’s going to be an interesting 2 weeks trying to get a bit of balance to the side.

I think the investment in forward players is to strengthen the squad realising that the central midfield will not carry us like last season. We may need to play a different system but I'm confident that our management team will get it right and we will be back here next season.

I agree with your assessment of the side (midfield particularly) being unbalanced, I think recruitment for the midfield berths has been a bit haphazard thus far and I hope additional recruits will bring the balance in there we require.

The defence definitely requires strengthening too, but this seems to have been completely overlooked so far.

[SRHibs]

We should’ve been investing for this. Our current team +1 (and Horgan) is good enough to get us in the top 4 IMO.

[sean04]

I'm sure Lennon and Leanne are aware we need to replace mcginn.Horgan and man city lad will add creativity

I think Mallan needs removing from this criticism of our midfield. More quality is needed to compliment him, not replace him.

Mallan is fine. We're just soft in the middle of the park. Need a tough tackler / enforcer / ball winner to sit alongside him. Slivka/Hyndman/Bartley/ Whitty are not the answer.

Mallan will be a huge player for us this season. Will score more than most SPL forwards.

No more than it was yesterday. The right signings, rather than just signings please Neil.

[Wee Effen Bee]

It’s almost as if 3 of the best midfielders in Scotland were ripped from our team and we’re having to try new players in new systems. Mental, ay? Just say “No!” To knee jerk reactions!

It’s not knee jerk. If you’d asked me yesterday I would have said we needed to sign someone like Kamara.

no knee jerk

been clear for weeks slivka spends all game 10 yards off his man...and usually on the wring side of the man.

he reminds me of Antonio Murray
