Cummings In...McLaren Out

Why? We are already short of strikers and you would bring 1 in and get rid of another?

I never really got Cummings as a player.

If truth be told i thought he was crap. If you look at his goal scoring record though it was incredible so he couldn't have been that bad. I then always assumed it must be because it was poor teams we were playing against in that division, that doesn't stand up to scrutiny either though as he scored against the better teams as well so again he couldn't have been that bad.

In summary, i don't know if he'd be a good signing or not, just a case of wait and see i suppose.

How does Cummings goal scoring ratio in the championship compare to Lawrence Shanklands? must be pretty similar and i'm guessing most of us would be delighted to sign him.

I kind pad get what you’re saying about how good/poor he is as a player. He was definitely frustrating.

But the quality of some of the goals he scored were superb, irrespective of who they were against. I think he’d give us something a bit different. I don’t think you’re going to see MacLaren or Shaw create something for themselves too often. I think he could, be it from distance or whatever.

Cause were a man short when he plays.
When he isnt scoring goals...he aint doing much.
Nearly halfway through the season...a still not fit McLaren has 1 goal.

We will be paying a descent amount of his wage too.

I reckon Flo and Cummings could work a treat.

Sorry thought you were describing Cummings for a minute there, he is not a good footballer and if he isnt scoring he isnt doing much either,if you think Cummings is the answer then fair enough but I think we would be daft to go for him

Folk also make out that it was easy to play against teams in the Championship.

Yes, the standard was lower, but every week we played against teams who had little interest in playing football and packed their defences, leaving little space.

Cummings was always at his worst in these games, the times we toiled against Dumbarton, Alloa, Morton etc.

He always had a good record against better teams, when he was more likely to get a wee bit of space.

I don't think he'd work with our current midfield (I don't think many would) but with a change in midfield I think he'd fit into our team nicely, and be a big success in the Premier League.

And yet he scored against all 3 teams that you've mentioned.

Cummings could create something for himself and was a threat from anywhere within 25-30 yards while also being a bit of a ‘fox in the box’. Two things which Maclaren can’t really do (the goal at home to Hearts last season is the only example of him making something himself I can really think of). IMO Cummings link up play was also better.

Bring back the Cumdog!

Hmmmm! MacLaren needs to come back and prove some folk wrong!

Jase played 20 scored 6
Shaw played 20 scored 4

Cummings only got goal three after we had dropped, as you may know.
Shaw has got all his first team goals at the top level. (Some of those while still making appearances for the double winning Development side.
Don’t need the stat page to tell us that. Made a better start to his Hibs career than Jase I reckon, much as I love him.
Edit: Might it be the case that even after all this time Oli has more Scottish Premier League goals than Jason has?

I really hope he does. If we could get Allan in January I think that would help him massively. There’s no doubting he can stick the ball in the net if he gets a chance but my doubts about him are when he isn’t getting the opportunities made for him. With the midfield we’ve got just now I don’t see him getting that many put on a plate and I also don’t see him creating many for himself either.

How many in how many games though?

I'm not using this as a criticism of Jason, more in fighting the criticism that he's only scored goals at a lower level and couldn't hack it in the Premier, when everything I've seen suggests he could.

Jase only two in premiership play offs

Olly eight in premiership one in LCSF and one in Europa Laegue

I thought they both got off to a slow start and I do not think there is a lot between them tbh

I am hoping Olly can kick on from here and be a big player for us.

Jase I would take him back but not too fussed if he comes or not his love for Der Hun is somewhat off puting as most true hibbies hate Der Hun with a vengeance

Did he not only score 2 in something like 15 games for the rangers in the league? Dunno how many he started right enough

I prefer to wipe his stint there from memory altogether.
