I like Marciano and happy to have him but I fully believe we may have found a potential long term keeper in Laidlaw. Looks safe as houses and is doing everything right as far as I can tell.

Its going to be a tough one for NL once Marciano is fit .... Laidlaw has been more than competent in all the games he has played as has Rocky ... but unfortunately for Laidlaw Lennon clearly sees Marciano as his 'go to' keeper. But if Marciano doesn't want to commit to Hibs long term Laidlaw is making a good case for the number 1 spot next season.

He dealt with all balls back to him, came out once or twice to sweep up, so he was very focused even though a quiet night for him. It's nice to see defenders have the confidence to use him with passes back if and when necessary and his kicking is generally very good.
As others said finally 2 really decent keepers that don't give us palpitations when the ball is played back etc :)

He was never really bothered tonight, the header was straight at him so more a reflex save....the boys done well for us though.

I'd say his save in the second half was pivotal to the result.
Had that gone in we could have been in familiar territory with an edgy team trying to hang on to a narrow lead.

Would have been disappointed if it had gone in

I noticed that the whole bench was applauding the save. He really done well last night.

And don't tell me that you also think it was a pass from Humphrey for the first goal?? Oh you think it was a cross? From the edge of the box? Bloody hell

I've been very impressed by Laidlaw, a shrewd signing and probably our long term number1. He should keep the gloves on Marciano's return, Lennon should reward performances and thus far he has provided them. Decent save last night and generally looked confident with the ball at his feet. Good to see that we have two good keepers in the squad, it's been quite a while since we've enjoyed that!

I really like the lad. Amazing to think he was warming a bench at Raith Rovers last season.
I think Rocky has the edge meantime but fully agree with the posters that say he could very well be a long term keeper for us.

In a quiet way Laidlaw has been a great signing.
Not saying he's a world beater and maybe not massively commanding for a big guy but what a job he's done. If a number 2 comes on for a lot of games and it makes no difference then that's pretty amazing.

General assumption is that Laidlaw doesn't play when Marciano is fit. Wouldn't be surprised if he knows this too but he must be in the frame for the jersey long term if and when Marciano leaves.

Wasn't troubled much yesterday but what a brilliant save he made at 2-0. If they had scored that and made it 2-1 they could have perked up and pressed us more for another.

A position I have complete and utter confidence in whether it's our first or second choice playing
Only had 1 save to make and at such a crucial time in the game it was massive.
Excellent distribution all game which again was crucial because when there's no confidence in the keeper's ability to clear a ball you can sense the unease in the stadium.
Well played Ross

Laidlaw and the back 4, and Bartley, all played very well last night, and were rewarded with a clean sheet.
Bartley did a great job of stopping Utd getting to run at and attack the back 4. They in turn did a great job of closing down, marshalling utd's forward players, and stopping the ball coming into troublesome areas near Laidlaw. On the odd occasion that Utd did threaten down one side, the other side tucked in well and backed up their teammates (Gray's header in the 6 yard box). On the odder occasion that Utd got the better of them, laidlaw was always in the right place at the right time, and made the good save he needed to. Arguably he could have come for a few more high balls, but with a clean sheet and the performance it would be very hard to criticise.
I'd also add that both Humphrey and Boyle did an excellent job of helping their fullbacks, McGeouch supported Bartley in keeping Utd from running at the defence, and keeping the midfield shape.
overall, I'd say as a team Hibs were very solid defensively, from front to back, through teamwork, effort, tactical nous and no little skill. All of that was impressive as well as the superb attacking play we put together at times.

I've more faith in Marciano but that's more gut feeling than anything. It is going to be the real test next year- when we're back in the premier ;)

I really like Laidlaw, goof young keeper, always looks composed when he has the ball, shown the last few games he has outstanding reactions, can come for a ball, can kick and he has some presence about him. I think Marcianio is our number 1 but Laidlaw is not far behind.
