Surprised he got away without getting a thread created.
Someone was saying to me today that kelty were supposedly sniffing about at the start of the season and unfortunately that’s probably his level.
I watched him quite a bit today and the amount of times he hid behind a st J player in the middle of the park was mental. At times there was huge gaps he could’ve moved into to pick the ball up but decided not to move and instead point at everyone else.
I know he probably wouldn’t be near the team if we were at full fitness but he should be doing a lot more now he’s getting a chance. Genuinely like a man down

Couldn't agree more. Not having the age thing, we have players around his age playing far, far better. Almost cost us in both halfs with poor passes, and Ryan correctly going nuts at him after it. JDH isn't great, but he is actually miles ahead of Campbell in terms of his involvement. Always looking to take the ball and move it. Campbell, as far as I can see, offers nothing except some running about.

I actually feel for the lad, he’s that much out his depth it’s painful to watch. Appreciate someone thought it was a good idea to dish out a 3 year contract but he’s not good enough, I honestly think he’d struggle to get a game at any other club in the Premiership.

in his defence, he wouldn’t be close to a start if Magennis and Newell were fit. We’re having to rely on him but he’s bit at their level.

He’s shown in games such as Celtic at home/Rangers at hampden he can play a specific role in the side and it works well but for games like today it’s literally pointless because creatively he offers absolutely nothing. The decision to give him a long term contract was absolutely ridiculous.

Did he not play a blinder last week and was getting praised all over the shop?

Never really noticed him before or yesterday for that matter
We need better and he needs to do more if he wants to stay at Hibs

Sorry, I dont get the hes not really good enough bit, I think he is and getting a good run of games will prove it, last week he was excellent one of our best players and suddenly hes not good enough. Maybe it was a fluke, who's to say, these players dont get any better with not playing.

Giving him the extension was madness at the time and looks an even worse decision now. He’s miles off the level we need unfortunately.

This is the reason we can’t create chances, too many players hiding and playing it safe. Judging by the players we’ve signed in January, I’m confident this will be addressed properly in the summer. Unfortunate about the long deals.

We have a guy who is almost 22 so not a bairn, who has played not a kick in the erse of 100 senior games so not inexperienced on a 3 year contract and he is miles off it.
He wouldn't be close to a start if those mentioned were fit, if we finally get recruitment right in the summer he'll be even further from a start but we are tied to paying him a wage until 2025. I'd love him to shut me and everyone else up and prove us wrong but there isn't one element of his game that stands out as being something to work with beyond him trying hard.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

hes been involved in pretty much every match or squad since the ranger semi final, he’s had a good run of games.
what he’s proven is that in games where he’s tasked with making a nuisance of himself against good opposition midfielders, he’ll do a turn. When he’s asked to do anything else, he struggles. He’s given the ball away on multiple occasions in dangerous areas (twice yesterday alone), and has a habit of always being behind opposition players when we’re taking throw ins etc, and never moves to show for the ball.

Supports in attack and defence.
Puts pressure on the opposition.
Man of the match performance last week.
Currently playing in a makeshift team not conceding many goals.
21 matches played,one goal,3 assists.
I like Campbell,room for improvement but the criticism is way over the top for me.

Josh at the moment wouldn’t start in a fully fit 11 but he’s a young lad who has potential and more than competent when selected to represent Hibs.

Hes just not good enough. Hes no better than Scott Martin was a few years back. No one can question the engine on him but he is badly found lacking technically and its nearly cost us on a few occassions in the last 2 games in and around our box. Its not his fault but giving him a new deal on the back of a couple of games was bizarre.

For me, he runs about a bit. He gets beat far too easy one-on-one, is a terrible passer, constantly wants to offload the ball back the way (probably because he’s such a poor passer) and offers nothing going forward.

Letting Hallberg go without a replacement coming in was an awful decision by Maloney. It means we literally have no option than persist with the 2 CMs.
Maybe next week we can get Lewis back in there.
The Campbell extension was extreme but what about Doyle Hayes? A player we actually recruited…. he’s nowhere near good enough either.
