    Flo

    Slaughtered apparently by Parker.

    Why play him then? Has his bingo number not been called yet?

    Flo has actually looked like he wants out the door most of this season. When he came last season he ran about and worked hard. Now he does nothing. He looks like he is regretting signing for us.

    “Now he does nothing”. That was not in the games through circumstances I saw (inc European games) not been since St J’s though. Balance.

    He needs a break. Madness to drive his confidence to rock bottom then slate him in the media. Poor from Parker, I understand what he's trying to do but it's the wrong way to go for me.

    Flo hasn't been right since his sending off.

    I thought the same happened with Simon Murray. His work rate was amazing when he arrived as was Flo's. However, after about 6 month he was guizing just as Flo is now. Closing down and making occasional runs but at jogging pace throughout. For me both players got fed up of being isolated both defending and in attack. The midfield are so far away and we never seem to press as a team. It doesn't take long before a one man press starts to become a chore and then the mindset is embedded.

    He was spoiled last season with the service he got. For weeks now we have treated him like Grant Holt, every other ball is hammered at him chest height or above. The 1st half tonight was straight out the Craig Levein Guide to Hoofball.

    It doesn't excuse his body language but I can see why he's frustrated.

    He did get great service, but he was a stand out player.

    As he was in a few games this season, including scoring a beauty away at Celtic. Hes clearly out of sorts, but hes not become a bad player.

    Who’s idea was it to spend the money to bring him on a perm then? You can’t have it all ways.

    Needs a rest IMO. Hopefully once MacLaren is fully fit we can get the partnership going again.

    That partnership will not work without an effective midfield. Mallan, Horgan, Hyndeman - none of them are good enough and none are likely to help us out of this malaise. Slivka improved us last night and he couldn't get close to a game last season. THAT's how bad this lot are. Lennon brought them all in, which is even more worrying for January and for the Hibs Board when it comes to handing Lennon money.

    It goes back to the recruitment for me.

    He’s not a target man. He’s not really mature enough to be the main striker at a club the size of hibs. But all we have is McLaren, Shaw and Boyle so he’s the main man.

    Needed dropped/rested weeks ago but our other strikers just don’t have the ability to lead the line. Very poor recruitment.

    Yep, a lack of Scott Allan’s defence splitting passes

    Completely agree with this. He’s undroppable based on the fee paid too. He must be wondering what the **** is going on.

    We have a fantastic striker there, not having a clue who he’s linking up with from one week to the next them hoofball to his gut or head. His attitude is questionable but he plays every game and you think Parker slaughtering him helps somehow? What does it achieve? A rollicking to the guy isn’t going to stop balls being smashed at him or waiting for Horgan to do something.

    Publically singling out players during a bad run is the beginning of the end.

    Don’t think Parker actually named anyone?

    Parker is totally out of order naming Flo. I seen Horgan jogging behind a St Mirren player after we lost the ball - he could not have been more than a couple of meters behind but did not even try to get the ball back. That happened on more than one occassion, he only seems interested if he has the ball - he is ok then but we need all the team fighting and one thing that Flo cannot be accused of is not trying IMO. He has showed he plays for the badge and I hope that love for the club is not ruined by some **** talk by Parker.

    Yeah, didn't like that too much. Keep it in the locker room.

    Parker could have used his words more carefully. Kamberi does seem a the ‘huffy’ type though.....not what is needed in a struggling team.

    Flo was probably my favourite player last season. Loved his work ethic and I loved how he held the ball up and could lay it off. Chaser of lost causes. I hope he can get back to his best soon but I feel he’s suffering a lack of confidence and also good quality players around him.

    I seem to remember anybody that was worried about our lack of forward signings in the summer was slagged rotten on here.

    We're now in a situation where our two main strikers are, a) constantly out injured, or b) looking like they've lost interest.


    It's OK, though, because we have adequate back-up.

    January reinforcements? We’ve got six games to go before we even get there, and we all know who against. I think the end is nigh.

    He’s been undroppable because Lennon decided to go with only three strikers this season and the other two have been even more off form.
    Once the management starts publicly singling out players then the end is close. Just a matter of time now.

    The problem with only having three strikers is when they're all playing badly, you're screwed. Well, we dropped this player for another one. Then he plays ***** you sub him for.. The player you just dropped. LOLZ

    Been a big Flo fan but his first touch was crap tonight. Without analysing in detail I'd guess 2/10 or so worked? Looked like a simple header 2mins in. Kit-kat time for him.

  28. #28
    I've said elsewhere that I think he's carrying an injury, I certainly hope that's it because his drop in form has been beyond belief.

  29. #29
    I think it's a mixture of carrying an injury and lack of confidence. He played well early doors this season and it seems since the Aberdeen cup game where he played well: he's struggled as has the team.

    He isn't carrying an injury, he just isn't trying a leg for some reason. As for McLaren, he just isn't very good and I'm mighty relieved we didn't pay £400k for him.
