Jair coming on every week instead - absolutely bizarre like most of Monty's subs.

Macaulay langstaff seems to have scored a shedload this season. 69 goals in 89 games he's played

I sent this to my mates the other day. Probably simplistic as **** but feel this is where we find most success
I want us to sign good quality players who are:
1. Up there with the best at their respective spfl premiership/championship team
2. Went down south/elsewhere and lost their way a bit
3. Young Scottish and hungry

On the Jair situation the last manager didn't play him and got called out for it yet Monty has been giving him a chance and now he's getting called out for it too ! .
Who'd be a manager , right? 😆

He is though, an example of players leaving the A League too early inho….although in Kuol’s case he undoubtedly chose to go on loan to the wrong club initially for the wrong reasons….if he had chosen Hibs (who also tried to get him) instead of Hearts it could well have worked out differently at the time.
His brother Alou is a similar story……..he too was signed by a German club….Stuggart I think….. from Mariners only to be sent back a year later and Is now playing at Gosford….and it’s a similar story with Rees who is also at Mariners.
Marco Tilio who went to Celtic is back on loan with Melbourne City after playing 28 minutes for Celtic…..27 of them against Hibs btw.
In my opinion his signing by Celtic for a couple of million dollars was a bad one from the word go….again it’s only my opinion, but I didn’t consider him a likely success in Europe anywhere.
From time to time I will suggest players from the A League who I think are good or could be good enough to play for Hibs, but that doesn’t mean that every’up and coming’ youngster falls into that category.
Those that come to Europe and fail…..well that’s not somehow the fault of the A League……it’s the fault mainly of the scouts who obviously got it wrong when evaluating them and brought them over….

Read a Sunderland based article on Mayenda the other day which basically said that they didn’t think it was a surprise he wasn’t getting game time at Hibs given his inability to impress at Sunderland…..and hinting that his Sunderland future was very shooglie.
As you touch on,, I guess the manager sees the players in training every day and no doubt forms an opinion on them which leads to them being selected or not selected.
We don’t get to see that.
Not many managers are going to playa player THEY consider a duffer, just so the punters can form an opinion on him.
Not suggesting that IS the reason we haven’t seen much of Myenda, but it’s not a far fetched one I think.

I do think his use of subs has been a massive issue for him all season and has contributed to us missing out on top 6. Not that Mayenda was the missing link though.

I think Stuart McKinstry is out of contract in the summer. I wonder if he’s one we’re monitoring, though I’ve no idea now he’s getting on at QP.

On Mayenda it was one of those signings we make all the time. A young player that you then hardly see. Was totally predictable how it would go with him.

I don't know what the appetite at the club is to do this, but I genuinely wouldn't object to a fair bit of budget going towards moving on as many players as we can from the squad to clear the way for a proper rebuild.
I think I saw an article that said we had 18 players out on loan at the moment, that to me seems excessive for a club of our size. We have too many first team players that haven't shown enough this season to think that they'll take us up the league next season, so I would love us to be ruthless and work out ways to move them on.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Montgomery and Sergio at Tannadice at the weekend. Wonder if that was to watch anybody in particular.

We would have been better sticking one of our own youngsters on the bench.
As you say, all too predictable.

My read on it was that Mayenda was only here to replace McKirdy for 6 months as probably a back up option we had no obligation in playing.
Probably all part of a grander plan to get McKirdy out the club in the summer to be honest.
