Thought he was outstanding today until the last 10 minutes or so, think he should keep his place for the derby. :agree:

Oh fekk! Nobody was ever close to "outstanding" today. PH, at best, was mildly competent for 80 minutes then he had a 'mare! And he hoofs the ball far too often! Not his best 90 minutes. :bitchy:

Are you kidding? He made a fine number of tackles, won his fair share of headers and got a good few blocks in aswell. Agree his distrubution could have been a bit better but other than that he was a stand out.

Maybe not an outstanding hibs performance but paul hanlon was pretty good considering he's a young lad and considering he's playing alongside a voiceless captain.

Hanlon played well today but the problem with Hanlon is lack of height, hearts have some big players that could cause us problems if Bamba isnt playing. Maybe Keep hanlon in, bring back bamba and drop Hogg?

nah hanlon defo was not outstanding. I think he is good facing play, takes good defensive positions, but he ball watches a bit too much just now and got caught out almost every time with the ball OTT - just a youthful thing probs.

think he is like a young ian murray imo - but defo not outstanding today.

For me McBride is short of Hibernian standard. I'm sure Nish has uses but none of them are on a football pitch.

Thicot & Murray played well together as back two against Hearts a couple of seasons ago. Maybe Hanlon & Thicot with Bamba(if fit) playing in front of them would stabelise the defence and give us a midfielder who can break up opposition attacking play. Something needs done about signing proper full backs also. I know Murray is pretty solid at left back but I was never convinced Wotherspoon should be at right back and with Yogi dropping him I think he has lost his confidence.

Bamba and Hanlon should play in the derby. Hogg IMO is a liability who has been accomodated for way too long just because he was mistakenly given the armband.

Mcbride has been great, have u not noticed the amount of goals and games we lost when he was injured.

Sorry mate but what game were you watching?, Never won a header all day and that should be basic duty for a centre half. I concede that he blocked a few shots in the second half, but was a weakness from the start. IMO Hanlon and Weatherspoon were the main problem today.

No couldn't make today, but i cant believe we now need the same guy who was not good enough last week. I'm confused.:wink:

Maybe it's not the same people who said we need to drop him that are pointing out how much we need him?

Hopefully Yogi will soon see what most others do- that Bamba and Hanlon are our 2 best centre-half's by far.

Paul hanlon had an excellent game, yes he had a couple of errors, but was not helped by the so called leader Hogg who was not a leader when required and helped panic the young lads either side of him.

I agree Wotherspoon had a poor game but the formation with no right midfielder leaves him exposed and until the defence decided to panic late on, he looked more comfortable with galbraith helping him out.

it has to be Bamba and Hanlon next week (though it won't) with Murray moved into midfield in front of them (Stevenson at left back, played there at Tynie earlier in season and did not let us down).

Wotherspoon (nobody else)
Bamba

Bamba and Hanlon were our centre halfs at St Johnstone...Not sure whether Yogi fancies trying that combo again any time soon!

I'd still like to see Thicot given a chance. As Mr Cabbage says, him and Murray played well against Hearts before at CH. Murray's preferred position is apparently CB as well.

Or of course, stick with Murray at LB, Bamba and Hogg/Hanlon at CH and Thicot at RB leaving Spoon free for the midfield. Thicot played on the right of a back three at Tannadice recently and shored things up.

TQM has it spot on IMHO. Hughes was wrong to drop him when BAMBA came
back from the ACON.

He should start on Sat and so should Bamba and Hogg in a back 3.

Coilin pish has been known as that since he was at killie, its rhyming slang for players who have names that rhyme. Rank rankin, makalamity. Bamba is our best central defender, before during and after the ANC, imho of course.

Put it this way, Bamba makes far too many mistakes to be put in at centre half. If you had him in midfield he would be able to make those mistakes and 9 times out of 10 he would get away with it yet errors cost you dear at the back and we cant afford that right now when we aint scoring enough!

Bamba in midfield imo.

Ball played over the top are Bamba's speciallity. His pace and power beat most in the SPL. Both goals conceded yesterday, were bad goals to lose from a central defenders perspective. Where was Hanlon for the 1st goal? Let me tell you, wrong side of his man. And what was Hogg doing for the 2nd? The ball gets played over with Wotherspoon out of position, where's Hogg? Certainly not shuffling over to cover. Yet its Bamba who's the bombscare.

I would defo agree with the fact he's a bombscare at the back. No doubt about it. Bamba's all over the place at centre half he just chases after the ball, wherever it goes! What player scores an own goal, gives away 2 pens and countless amount of other goals in 5 matches, yet still gets given chance after chance after chance!

Do you think its right Smith has been dropped and stacks in? All because he cant control bamba, think it should be the other way about don't u?

Papers saying today that Rankins substitution was a mistake. When are people going to actually start gettin behind our captain? And in what way is Mcbride rubbish, he and Miller are one the best midfield partnerships in the SPL on their day, yesterday just wasnt one of them.

I think some on here have not got the first clue about football. bamba has been superb for hibs this season and yes he makes mistakes (thats why he is at us at the moment) but every player makes mistakes and what bamba adds far out weighs any errors, he is strong, quick and likes the physical confrontation everything you want in a centre back. he'll end up at a bigger club because his potential is obvious and as yogi said he just lacks a bit of concentration at times that leads to slackness. eleminate the lapses in concentration then he has everything else to play at a far higher level.

Your right about bamba mate, but surely you can see why he needed to be dropped. If hanlon had played the same as bamba has since coming back would you keep him in the team with the pottential of losing even more goals and possibly games?

Hanlon didn't have a great game yesterday, at least from a tactical point of view. Hogg was under instruction to keep the line high, and I think Hanlon was a bit reluctant to do so, which left us exposed to Ross County's runners. However, he is a young player, like Wotherspoon, and we as fans have to show, not just them, but the entire team a bit of patience as they develope. We seemed to be further exposed by Rankin's departure, despite the fact he didn't have his best game.

hanlon made two glaring mistakes yesterday which luckily did not cost us a goal. he lost his attacker and gave him a free header that luckily was straight at Stack then got robbed of the ball that led to murray clearing the ball of the line.

But even with these two mistakes I actually thought he played well and rate him as I rate bamba, highly. what I am getting it is that if the players never made any mistakes they would be playing at a higher level than us.
