I voted stay as a squad player. I like Joe but i'm hopeful we'll bring in better than him with the investment. That's not a dig at Joe as i rate him.

I'd like him to stay, there are a few i'd get rid of before him, but saying that i'd like us to replace him with better.
I hope he becomes a good squad player.

I don't mind him staying but I think he plays a part in our lack of urgency at times. I think the slow tempo and lack of urgency is the thing that annoys me more than anything about Hibs the last few years.
Sometimes he takes too many touches when one or two would do then moving the ball on (I get that involves other players moving off the ball which we arent great at). He's clearly an important player to the team and it's true that if Newell has a good game then Hibs generally do too. I'd also like to see him be more assertive and on the front foot when we don't have the ball. He done it once on Saturday (just after Campbell came on) where there was a loose ball and he got in and drove forward, played it into Marcondes who played a quick ball round the corner to Campbell out wide. More of that kind of football and more of that kind of play from Newell I'd like to see.

Just seen this and amazed 60% class him as a key player. Imo if we want to be 3rd/4th continously we need better than him playing every week.

What a stupid post, yes let’s get rid of our most influential player in past two seasons after finishing bottom 6.

1 x goalkeeper

Before we think about trying to improve in Newell. Having that around him and NWM would help massively imo.
At the end of the season when Marcondes and Maolida leave too then that’s another attacking midfielder and left winger we need to improve before him, imo.
We’re not not challenging for European places because of Newell, he’s the obvious errors in recruitment and positions we recruit for the past 3 years.Last edited by Unseen work; 22-04-2024 at 07:49 AM.

Joe stays 100%
Surround him with better quality he’ll flourish.
Plenty good qualities.

Newell on his day is one of the best midfielders in the league.
Newell off his game doesn't influence games, but he still works his arse off.
100% keep."...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.”

60% of folk have watched him float round the park , for 5year, and conclude that he’s the guy to bring glory back to ER - frightening
‘Flatters to deceive’ is perfect for a player like Newell

He's one of the very few in the squad that I'd keep a hold of.

More a recognition that in the attempt to bring back glory, while rebuilding the squad, replacing Newell is far from an immediate priority

I don’t think we’re going to be able to carry out as big a rebuild as we actually need in one window. So we’ll need to keep some of the better players we have to fill out the squad. So for that reason I’d be keeping Newell.

I’d love us to replace Newell with better. I’d love even more for us to replace the players poorer than Newell with better, which is pretty much all our midfield.
Once we replace them with better, we can think about Newell.

What amazes me is how simple Mowbray made it all look when he was manager. Take the example of O'Connor. He saw he had an important role in the team but there was no cover so signed Morrow as a cheap back up until Fletcher could fill the role to some extent. Then, when O'Connor was about to leave, he signed Killen as a replacement. This kind of planning and replacement happened successfully all over the team, except for the goalie.

It takes time over a few windows to do this which brings us back to the managers position in do we stick or twist ?.
Newell isn't one of the players that should be a priority to move on imo , theres others well below Newell on that list.
Only thing about Newell for me is you either get this guy that's playing fantastic or you have a passenger in midfield . I suppose I'd like to keep him though have someone else so we aren't relying on him in every game .

Joe Newell is a typical example of everything that is wrong with Hibs at the moment. Slows play down so much with his backwards passing, yet when he does play on the front foot he's an exceptionally good player. Personally, I've had enough of the sometimes exceptional, mixed with below par or average, performances. We need players who are consistently good in all games - it's one of the reasons why we are so easily beat by many teams. Our best player, probably! But we need better higher tempo players! Time to move on Super Joe.

There's definitely something a bit funny about how hot and cold some of our current players are. Whilst it's fine to maybe have one who is like that, if we're considering Newell and Youan to be amongst our best players and you don't know from one week to the next whether they're going to turn up or not, it removes a bit of the mystery as to why we've been a mid table or bottom 6 side these past few years.

Some posters still argue Newell isn’t inconsistent or has been good all season. Off the top of my head I can think of 9 games where we got the version of Newell that didn’t turn up - St Mirren at home x 2, Motherwell at home ( after an outstanding team performance for the opening 20 minutes) x2, St Johnstone home and away, Forfar, Livingston at home. 70 minutes away to Killmarnock until Maolida came on/the red card. That’s 8 league games of the 33 to the split or 24% of our games.
You could make similar lists, or worse in number of cases, for all of the squad, bar Maolida, and it explains yet another season in the bottom 6.
Edit, don’t think Newell played away v St Johnston for the eagle eyed.Last edited by The Modfather; 23-04-2024 at 07:47 AM.

Newell is the least of our problems. He's not as good as some posters think but he's above average for our level.
