Thread: Mallan

    Mallan

    Been very poor for weeks ? Other than his free kicks I’m struggling to understand his role in the team

    Doesn’t have the energy and drive we need in centre midfield

    Didn’t have a single shot on goal tonight. If he’s not shooting he’s contributing **** all.

    He spent most of the first half playing deeper than Bartley.

    Don't let facts get in the way of pure hatred, it's no the hibs.net way.

    Mallan battled well all game, set up a goal and tried to keep us moving, he was fine tonight.

    Aye, good corner. What about general play? Poor again. I feel bad singling him out right now but just expected more.

    I have said it so many times this season, if he's not taking free kicks or corners, i wouldn't know he was on the park.

    He obviously can take a decent free kick, and he can score from distance too, but we really need to find a system to enhance that or he shouldn't be in the team.

    The 16th goal he's either scored or directly assisted this season.

    Horgan and Mallan cannot keep with their man and cannot keep running for 90mins.

    Not a single summer signing has contributed much from open play. Mallan freekicks and corners, great...a few shots here and there but nothing else.

    Our recruitment department and coaching staff need looked at.

    We've signed poor players by the looks of it and most of our experienced players are injured...What are they doing to scout and what are they doing to keep these players in good condition?

    Looks awesome at the start of the season, dangerous and looked like he would score goals for fun. He's completely lost all his confidence. Saying that it seems everyone has. Big flo isn't himself, Boyle is saving his goals for aussies, Milligan was a superstar when he arrived, looks like he's lost his edge

    We have probably conceded as much due to him not picking up players, challenging etc.

    He's crap and is a big part of our current trouble.

    Chic Charnley had a lovely left foot, a good set piece on him, no pace and not enough graft. We couldn't carry him and ended up relegated.

    Mallan doesn't have the match intelligence to adapt his game to cope with his lack of pace, which is being horribly exposed at this level.

    Great shot from distance, excellent free kicks, good standard of corner but a passenger, a liability and a luxury that we can't afford to carry.

    Needs binned pronto, and it's frightening that we've probably gambled a sizeable chunk of our budget on this gamble.

    He made one solid tackle that I can remember tonight, and a single good run into the box that went to nothing. Good corner, but overall that contribution is not enough.

    I completely forgot he was playing in the second half. He went missing for about 15 minutes. I can't believe Slivka isn't getting 2 or 3 games on the trot in the middle as he is the nearest we have to a mobile midfielder.

    Not a big Slivka fan but thought he done well enough when he came on. Would look at having him in there against St Mirren.

    I agree with all of this. He's criminally slow and unbelievably weak. He's a man light when we dont have the ball as well. If we had any decent alternatives he'd have been out the team by now.

    I think he has contributed along with Horgan to allot of goals we have conceded in the league by not tracking back, tackling and getting. Caught in possession.

    Yup. He's obviously not directly responsible for 16 goals against us but he is a sizeable chunk of the reason our midfield is very poor in open play.

    I understand some of the criticism against him. In particular he lacks pace, we knew that before he came the Barnsley fans made that clear.

    But Its CRAZY to not have him in the team given how many goals he is involved in for us. Who replaces him?!

    He wasn't anonymous in the second half if he set up a goal! Come on!
