Allan. We need Scott Allan for the cutting through balls he plays. No one else in our team really seems to do that.
A prime example is the slide rule pass for Kamberi in the 5-3 Killie game towards the end of last season. No one else in our squad is capable of that kind of pass. Perfect pace and outstanding vision.
Sign him and a holding midfielder and we're sorted.

High class signing.
Can't believe folks are not excited about this guy.
I predict we will be begging Bournemouth to let us keep him for the season come January.

Hyndman is a similar type of player to Allan from what I remember when he played for Sevco. An attacking creative number 10.
Think we need a Mulumbu/Kamara type of player. A ball winning midfielder that is good defensively.

Think we are 2-3 quality players away from having a great squad. If we can get past Molde and bring in that quality, I really think we could get pretty far in Europe.

Not just quality, going to need to beef up that squad if we make it to the group stages. Can already see players getting knocks and niggles playing so regularly. Bring it on!

Dylan and Super are players we cant replace due to unique qualities playing style. We can only look for more young talent similar in ability appliance willingness to learn. Enjoy we had them and be happy.

The fact that Hibs have signed Hynadman for 6 months would point to a pre contract for Allan in January (unless he moves to Dons or elsewhere) then I think Hibs would try a small offer to Celtic to buy out last 6 months or wait till summer. I really cant see Allan coming this window, think we need to park that one for now, Lenny more or less confirmed with his ‘that one is for later’ comment a while back.
In the meantime Mulumbu is the obvious choice IMO been rumoured for a long time and Lenny likes him and has commented in previous pressers. Hibs are obviously also making tentative enquiries around potential availability of Gauld and others. Lenny has stated his wish to bring in another winger but no clear indication who that could be now that Barker has signed for PNE.

After the game Lennon said two more. Midfielder and wide player to balance Boyle. This then means that that player isn't necessarily Agyepong. Of course what he says and does.....

Holding midfield player is a must now. Bartley was far too deep last night in first half and was leaving massive gaps. He is also very poor when he is on the ball.

Sometimes a player has to work up to fitness before they look good or there are reasons why they don't hit the ground running - I just liked what I saw from the lad from the first time he got the ball.
I've seen posts suggesting Molde weren't great - I thought they were decent. Solid at the back, they restricted us to fairly few chances (and we've been creating a lot) and I thought they sparked into life nicely around the box. We generally struggled to make space and create against them - and when Hyndman went on he did it with his first few touches, and wee immediately looked more creative once he was on the park.
As soon as I saw him I thought "he can play". The last time I thought that was the first time I saw Paul Hartley.....

The hole left by SJM was bigger than expected. Thought we lacked someone to break the game up, win balls in midfield and drive us forward - all things we came to expect from SJM. So a high quality, holding, ball winner would be top of my list.

I don't know how much of it was to do with them being better than we've given them credit for, but a bit like in the Faroes I couldn't work out how there were times when they seemed to have so much time and space to dominate the area just in front of our back line.

Couldnt agree more. Missing the balls through the channels for Kamberi, and McLaren will be looking for the same. Can Hyndman be that player? Time will tell. As said, feel we need at least another central midfielder but also a centre half, as cover due to McGregor’s knee issues, and also a striker/ attacking player to compliment the squad.
Think Mallan will improve further but maybe needs a few sessions in the gym as was easily shoved off the ball at times but that will come. Will Swanson stay now that he is behind Hyndman too? Hope so as he will have a big part to play.

I was pleasantly surprised last night. Have to admit that I feared the worst for the first game, post SJM, and obv we were not as assured in the middle of the park, but we didn't look bad. Slivka was decent in the first half but fell out of it, and Mallan is bedding in nicely. Buzzing to see Jamie Mac back in the side so we can play Boyle out on the right, I feel we waste his best attributes when he plays alongside Flo.
I agree that we need at least 1 more midfielder, someone with a bit of physicality, as for me that was the biggest absence last night. But we are not far off! I'd love to see Kamara in our side, and I'm sure our war chest is now full enough to tempt Dundee. As with all our recent perm signings, he would represent an astute investment, both in terms of on the field contributions, and future transfer fees.
Molde are a good side, move the ball about beautifully, but created literally FA - can see us scoring over there.
What a time to be a Hibee!
