Has he kicked a ball in the cup yet
Don't think so and as far as I know he wasn't even on the bench yesterday

Not been in the squad the last 2 games, no sure if he's injured or they've just realised he's rotten.

It’s a real pity he hasn’t featured. He needs all the experience he can get under his belt.
He’s a player that has plenty potential and I can see he has many good qualities but unfortunately he has that one bad quality which is poor decision making for me. I don’t trust him with the ball at his feet. He doesn’t fill me with confidence at all.
Hopefully he can mature into a better player having gained more international experience and prove doubters like myself wrong.

I don’t ever remember him being caught on the ball and it leading to a goal - happy to be corrected on that.
Sometimes his passes can be wayward but that’s he same for every defender in the world, they’re primary concern is not to spray passes all over the pitch.
I agree he has his moments, but for a guy that size to move as well as he does I think he does well.
Remember our defenders are adjusting to a new formation too, and being a midfielder down they’re more exposed.
That’s applicable to all our defenders btw."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

I just think he lingers too long in possession, slowing down our play to the detriment of our midfielders who are maybe showing for the a quick pass into feet. The decision not to play a quick easy pass gives your opponent incentive to chase you down and put you under pressure when really the pass should have been made.
It also gives opportunity for the ball to get nicked and a hurried pass that goes backward breaking our momentum.
Agree that it’s also applicable to all of our defenders, especially at home.
The tempo we play at home needs to be a lot quicker and that’s were he could improve for me.
Play the quick easy pass and then move to make an angle.

He ( Marshall) started off fine but got slower and slower
Seen Rocky taking the ball for a walk up the park many times in a frustrated attempt to get us up the park not slow in possession at all and never been caught in possession apart from Killie and that was a corner always seems to get away with it using his pace and power similar to Efe
As you say ain’t no midfielders looking for the early ball usually hiding
You just have to look at The Rangers on Wednesday at our goal kicks it was amateur hour like taking candy off a baby as we gave them back possession with a misplaced pass or out of play time after time I don’t think they even broke sweat all night
Embarrassing

I think we all hope he can gain experience at international level and come back a better player.

I am convinced he will go on to have a decent career wherever he ends up as he is a quick learner

We are signing another 20 year old centre half.
Rocky has a lot of promise. He's very good with the ball at his feet.
How many of the fans who are hanging him out to dry for the Shankland goal spotted the wee cheat rabbit punching him in the throat before winning the challenge? The ref missed it too.
As has been said before, how many players at Hibs over the years have been called a 'bombscare'?

At one time I would have paid 1m to keep him now I am not so sure I think we could probably get better saying that like Rocky he is still young but the rumoured replacements ( hear say ) and the new boy Amos or Obita might be a better option especially if this is Hanlon’s last season
We need better in now and cannot keep blundering along from game to game
You will not find a better defender of Rocky on these threads than Billyhibs he is far from a bombscare but people seem to have made up their minds though I cannot remember any glaring errors apart from the Shankland incident and yes Shankland was at it all night even had a go at Fish
Efe was also called a bombscare the guy was class and probably our best player when he was here should never have left hope it was worth it financially
Edit : Amos is a DM Moriah-Welsh midfielderLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 28-01-2024 at 08:33 AM.

It's not just on the ball - he regularly gifts the opposition chances with wayward positioning and ball-watching. It's not just him by the way - the whole defence has been pretty awful this season, not helped by a real failure to recruit properly in both centre half and full back positions over a number of windows.

For poor decision making, see the way he somehow allowed Shankland to win a ball he was favoured for and score the only goal in the last derby.
I want to defend all our players but that was schoolboy stuff.

Beat Egypt on penalties, he was in the squad tonight at least but going by bbc all was named so maybe he’s be injured/unwell for last one?

Let’s hope they go all the way! Even if we are struggling for centre backs, he makes us worse.

I remember he was at fault with his poor positioning in the first Edinburgh derby of the season. A simple clearance from the Hearts right back went right over everyone’s head, including Rocky’s and allowed the Hearts player in behind, I think he hit the post with his effort but it was so bad from us defensively.
I think we need to bring in experienced defenders, especially at CH. I’m sick of us being soft at the back. Please can we just try and stop teams walking all over us.
Not one of our managers has solved this problem and the last thing we need is a calamitous defender making things worse than they already are.
