Why a 5 for deeks and a 3 for Nish? They both did bugger all today!

[lucky]

Simples Deeks is a threat whilst Nish was constantly on his arse or offside.

[hibee92]

Brown 6 quiet game for him, good save from the free kick late on :agree:

Hogg 8 shaky at times, but 2 quality headers and won us the game, also the wee cheeky stepover was brilliant! :greengrin
Bamba 7 Solid as usual :agree:
Hanlon 8 Very impressed. good passing, most composed player on the park imo :agree:
Stevenson 6 Good game

McBride 5 quiet.
Miller 7 covered every balde of grass
Rankin 5 worked his erse off but ineffective
Wotherspoon 6 always poses a threat

Deeks 5 didn't seem interested
Nish 5 few good knock downs and flick ons, otherwise disappointing

Subs
Hart 5 couple silly fouls but got forward well
Galbraith 0 not enough time
De Graaf 0 not enough time

[Bishop Hibee]

Brown--7--Competent. Little to do.

Hogg--7 -Played well and pushed forward for the 2 goals but not a full back
Bamba--8 Hibs best player. Untroubled after their goal.
Hanlon 6 --Still not convinced. Was pulled over and didn't block the cross for their goal
Stevenson 5-- Looked short of match fitness and was the start of a catalogue of errors for the Killie goal.

McBride--6-- Dug in well and gave 100%
Miller--6--came on to a game after we equalised.
Rankin--5-- worked hard but not a left sided midfielder. Gave his all though.
Spoony--6--Decent performance and shows what he can do when played in his proper position

Deeks--4 --ran about but a poor game today. Even his control was off.
Nish--7--Good performance especially in the first half. Won everything in the air.

Subs
Hart--5--dodgy start but caught up to the pace of the game
Galbraith--4--good run relieved the pressure.
De Graaf--0--actually ducked when he went for a header. Makes Jarko Wiss look like Pele.

Nope, sorry have to completely disagree Nish was absolute murder polis today. Never won a thing and was constantly caught offside. 4 out of 10 at best.

Thought Stevenson had a very good 2nd half.

[JoeTortolanoFanClub]

And an 8 for the young lad in the yellow Scotland away strip plating in the small-sided game at half time in front of the East Stand. Scored four goals in five minutes using both feet. We should have had him on in the second half instead of Nish-Offside (who, by the way, might be the first double-barrel name to play for Hibs) !

you're forgetting ******-malkowski :agree: at least i think thats what his name was, thats how everyone else said it :greengrin

[Bishop Hibee]

Nish was caught offside fair enough but so was Riordan. Pluses for Nish were his passing, tackling, winning the ball in the air and workrate but lets ignore them, slag his weak point and ignore Riordan's off-day today :rolleyes:

Remove the blinkers and give credit where it is due please.

You couldn't have been at the game today then, because Nish won more headers than he lost today :agree: He didn't have a great game but lets not start making things up that just aren't true.

[Broken Gnome]

7+ for Brown, Hogg, Hanlon, Wotherspoon, Bamba and Miller. Not to be overly harsh after a win, but any new manager watching that would not half to look far to see the guys that just wouldn't feature. Today just exemplified what wasn't exactly a secret before - we are the slowest side in the division by an utter mile. Because of that, the likes of Rankin and Stevenson will always be conservative in their play because they don't have the speed of thought or body to make a difference. They're not helped by the front two - Nish lacks even one braincell in his movement and for all Riordan's benefits, he's hardly the most selfless of runners. In fact, I thought he was awful today, his body language was a disgrace and a wee heads-up for anyone that thinks he could be a captain.

Great win, especially after a terrible stuff. Some good stuff shone through, but I don't think we can expect miracles from a new manager due to a chronic lack of pace within the team.

Actually I do have to conceed that Nish did win his fair share of flick ons - would rate him higher than Deeks today.

As far as I can tell, that particular honour fell to Hakim Sar-Temsoury, followed by Mickael Antoine-Curier and Yves Makabu-Makalambay.

(Wasn't at the game so can't add any more on-topic comments, but very pleased to see a win.)

Fans 6 good atmosphere today

Very harsh ratings Id say. I actually thought we played some decent stuff at times.

Brown 7 relatively quiet game, did everything he had to well and made 1 excellent save. Defo the best goalie we have IMO.
Hogg 8 won the game for us with his 2 quality headers. nuff said.
Bamba 8 once more a rock at the back, timing of tackles was very good, doesnt seem to ever panic these days
Hanlon 7 played quite well. one of his better performances. his work at the gym is paying off
Stevenson 6 glad to see him given a chance as we are murder at left back. is a wee bit short of sharpness but generally did OK
Spoony 6 never shyed away from the game but so much didnt go for him today. worked hard without making much impact
Miller 5 gave away possession too much and didnt stamp his authority on the midfield
McBride 7 worked hard, put in a few good challenges and was our best midfielder today
Rankin 6 the guy tries so hard and never stops chasing the whole game, messed up a few half chances with poor delivery.shooting
Riordan 5 a huffy performance, did a fair bit of running but wasnt on his game. missed an absolute sitter at the end after Rankin played him in
Nish 7 got in their faces, won a lot in the air and made a menace of himself. caught offside too much again

Hart 8 rating is as per the time he was on the field. got stuck in and nullified the threat of their number 14 (he gave Hogg a bit of a torrid time). made a brilliant run that shouldve ended up in a goal. one of my favourite players at the moment - was surprised he didnt start
Galbraith 6 didnt get very long but is always a threat. i still think he's better coming off the bench as an impact player. many would disagree but i find he goes missing when he plays longer than about 30mins.
De Graaf N/A only got a few minutes and was busy. not enough to praise or criticise.

Agree he's never a full back but I don't blame him for their goal. We lost the ball on our wide left and just inside their half. Lewis was caught on the wrong side of the ball so when they broke down our right Hanlon had to come across to cover. In that situation, when a central defender is pulled out of position the opposite full back has to tuck in to cover the middle and that's what Hogg did.

I've been a critic of Hogg for a while now and whilst I don't think he defended particularly well as right back it would be churlish of me to focus on that instead of his play going forward, his willingness to get in their box and of course his two goals. Well played Hoggy - more of the same please :agree:

[talking_wiss]

Actually I do have to conceed that Nish did win his fair share of flick ons - would rate him higher than Deeks today.

Agree, I thought Nish had one of his better games of the season today, I would give him 4 out of 10.

[jdships]

Some interesting "takes " on to-days game in these posts.
For me , I haven't been at ER for a good while by the way , the glaring problem today was a lack of pace all over the park.
Wether this was due to the formation we were playing or what I know not :confused:

I dont think a new formation will make the players pacy all of a sudden :wink:

You are correct though- it's painful to watch. The slowest, immobile and predictable team I've seen for a while.

Good attitude from most of the players today but hard to give many pass marks.

[Diclonius]

Brown - 7 - Did what he needed to do.

Hogg - 6 - At fault for the goal but made up for it with two great headers. After that he was fine.
Bamba - 7 - Solid as per usual.
Hanlon - 7 - Again solid, kept us in it with some excellent tackles. MOM
Stevenson - 6 - Decent game, would like to see him given a run at left back.

Spoony - 6 - Got down the right flank well enough, but the guy seems to have no confidence at all. Needs a rest.
McBride - 7 - Did what he had to do well.
Miller - 6 - Very poor in the first half but drove the team forward in the second.
Rankin - 5 - Our hardest worker but I'm sorry to say his technical ability just isn't good enough for this level.

Deeks - 5 - Poor, should have scored in the last minute.
Nish - 5 - Won a few headers and tracked back well but FFS Nish, stay onside!

Subs:

Hart - 6 - A lot more solid than Hogg, and a great run down the pitch in the second half.
Galbraith - 1 - Hardly on the pitch long.
De Graaf - 0 - Not enough time.

[Skanko79]

Going by most of your ratings id say you all listened to the game on the radio today.

Yep I was indeed, he was up against a very iffy centre half and ok, managed to win a few headers without jumping but overall, never ever good enough. Nothing against the guy but I saw a half decent centre forward in his first few months here, don't know what's happened since though.

[Barney McGrew]

I think there's a lot of people giving Riordan a score because he's Riordan rather than what he did on the pitch today. The front two's lack of movement was unbelievable, but Deek still managed to make Nish look like Usain Bolt.

For me, that was one of the worst performances I've ever seen him put in for us.

[Dirkster23]

Got it now, he only won a few headers because he was up against a dodgy CH:bitchy: He won quite a lot of headers today (up front and back in defence), but not once did Riordan or one of the midfielders take the gamble and get beyond him to pick the flick on up.

I agree he's a player that needs to be replaced if we're to improve, but at least give the guy credit when he does things right.

Yep, considering the performance the front 2 put in today the rest of the lads did brilliantly to get that much needed win. Deeks was poor, as he was at McDiarmid.

[hibeemad]

Miller and Nish were both passengers today and have been for months. Nish is the worst player i have ever seen in a Hibs jersey. Cant jump, tackle, pass or stay onside. He was absolute garbage today, abd not for the first time. He missed a complete sitter today.

[Cropley10]

He's 6 foot whatever - that's his job. The amount of times he was caught offside needlessly was ridiculous. Sorry we'll agree to disagree.

:agree:

My gripe with Nish doesn't tend to be based on his ability, limited as it is, it's more the complete lack of intelligence he puts into anything he does. He did a half decent job of leading a line today, which I'd hope would be the norm from him, so fair play. Riordan on the other hand for one reason or another behaved and played appalling today, and didn't deserve to see the game out.

Your initial post i replied to stated he won nothing in the air today. My point was that was rubbish and he actually won quite a lot of headers.

The CH was over 6 foot too, what does that mean?

Not got a problem with people having a go at the players on here but at least aknowledge the things they did get right.

If you are one of the people that think he wears green lets support him, then you are also one of the paople that have no vision and are happy with trash that we call football players.

Do you not have any ambition for Hibs

Prob not............

[Jonnyboy]

By miles

Gonna take a wild guess here in saying that you don't like Nish :wink:

[fife hfc]

Brown - very little to do but good save from free kick 7

Hogg - is not a right back but stuck to the task and battled against a tricky winger. two great goals. 7

Stevenson slow start but never gave up and got better as game went on. Not afraid to push forward and provide width 6

Bamba - excellent again and took command at back and tried to drive us forward 8

Hanlon - looked so comfortable as game went on and as confidence grew. Him and bamba provided a solid platform as game went on. 8

Mcbride - works hard for the team but lies far too deep and this hinders our attempts to launch attacks 6

miller - like Mcbride worked hard for the team but like Mcbride lies far too deep that allows opposition too much possession without pressure. 6

Rankin - worked very hard defensively but, to me, he gave no angles for out balls and generally hid or chose the wrong options when we tried to attack.4

Wotherspoon - I felt he had a good game today and provided an option time and again for others and looked like his old self 7

Nish - always frustrates but he worked hard defensively and did win a few headers. his lack of effort can't be questioned but his abiltiy can. Today we needed fight and desire over quality so nish gave us what was required. 6

Riordan - has the quality but today not the effort and felt he was a big let down. Today we needed everybody to fight for the cause and riordan failed to do this. 4

Who the **** are you to go around telling folk they have no ambition or vision for the club. What a stupid thing to come out with, mind you, reading some of your previous posts id expect that from you cos you dont half spew out some drivel.

Whats your vision and ambition for us all then seeing as your mr high and mighty?

[Iggy Pope]

i am 51 now and i bet you i would beat Nish over 50 yards

If you really are that young and slavering pish like this I would diagnose Alzeheimers at best.
Hopefully someone has got you out of the street, where you really shouldn't be in in your jammies, and got you safely back in yer bed.

Another one that has to resort to personal abuse as they have no decent arguement

[Jonnyboy]

i take it you have no reasonable comeback then apart from the personal abuse

I thought that wasnt allowed on the forums

When someone is so biased against a player they don't listen to reasoned debate but I'll give it a go.

1. Nish was better than Deek today

2. He won loads of headers both in attack and defence

3. He showed nice touches to bring others into the game

Now that's reasoned debate but you can't respond because all you have to offer is your view that

1. He's pish

2. We'd be better with Zibi as a striker

3. Nade is a better player

Which of the above would you consider reasoned opinion?

[SMAXXA]

I wasnt at the game today but from what I read its same old same old from Nish, I dont think in all my years as a Hibs fan ive seen so many people at each others throat over any player, some say usless not good enough some say hes an assett etc, what I am yet to see is anyone collectivly say Nish was good/excellent today just never seen it.

Dont get me wrong im not a big fan at all and im in the not good enough camp, just funny how it seems the majority see him for being poor yet there are always pockets of people ready to defend him.

Opinions I guess, where would we be without them :greengrin

1. Thats your opinion he was better than Riordan, but i will grant you that deeks was not at his best the day. He done more chasing that nish today, atleast he put in a hard shift.

2. Granted he did win a few headers today in attack and defence. He was also caught offside a fair few times today and also missed a complete sitter. Even De Graf would have been proud to miss that.

3. If nish showed touches to bring others into the game. then i missed these efforts.



Can you answer my wee list then

1. Why does he stray offside everytime.
2. Why cant he run
3. Why cant he tackle
4 Why cant he jump
5. Why cant he pass to a hibs player
6.Why does he miss sitters
7. Why does he stroll about like tomorrow will do

We all have different opinions and I totally respect peoples views that are contrary to mine, but honest I fail to see how people can stick up for the guy, not from a pint of view he tries etc im sure he does, he just isnt good enough. But there are a number of managers that have picked him to play each week so they must see something that I would say the MAJORITY of Hibs fans dont.

Ive made my feelings known on many occasions over Nish and my opinion is still the same and will remain so until he changes that.

Dont get caught up in personal insults tho we all are entitled to our say guys :flag:

Anyone that defends Nish, knows he haw about football

Will I show you the SPL top all time goalscorers table?

Honestly, some of the pish that you get from Hibs fans about Nish.

He won plenty of knock downs, and also proved his worth defending set pieces.

Half the stuff he got howled at were balls that were 3 feet over his head, and balls he was never favourite to get - even when he had two defenders climbing over him. When I'm lying on my deathbed, my defining memory of sections of our support will be a game last season, when the ball was 15ft in the air, and some moron shouted - without a hint of irony - "Fur f***'s sake Nish - JUMP!!"

The fouls that he gets given against him, wrongly, are a great shame - and what's worse is that his own fans don't recognise it, and would rather use it as a stick to beat him with.
I watched Derek Riordan do things that Nish would get slated for today, not a peep - and that's no real criticism of Derek, who put in a lot of running today, but, as happens in football, it wasn't his day - and as a result, he probably performed worse than Nish.

Nish wasn't great today - but he got more right than wrong. He worked hard for the team, characterised by how deep he was asked to play, to limit the opportunities Killie had to drop the ball into the centre circle. And he went some way to doing that for the majority of the match.

You werent at the game today mate, or if you were you had your eyes shut.
Nish was offside more times than he did anything good. Nish was on his arse more times than he did anything good today. I think he won about 4 or 5 headers the day and they went to know one in perticular

Nish was offside more times than he did anything good. Nish was on his arse more times than he did anything good today. I think he won about 4 or 5 headers the day and they went to know one in perticular

Nish had Pascali on him - possibly the dirtiest thug in the SPL - of course he was going to spend a lot of the game on his arse. Got us a few freekicks in the process though.

Nish did get caught offside - but on more than one occassion, if it was Nish passing the ball, and Riordan making the run, I can bet you that folk on here would tell you that Nish had released the ball too late.

The NUMEROUS headers he won, if the ball is in the air and winnable, but there isn't anyone waiting to pick up the scraps - is that Nish's fault? Naw. If he's isolated, don't punt the ball to him, or if you're the other forward, get ready for the scraps that Naismith and Boyd were getting the benefit of at Killie.

He's far from a complete player - he's awkward and clumsy looking, which makes his mistakes look so much worse, and he SHOULD be stronger. However, even as he is, he's a decent player, totally underrated by his support.

Overrated if you are to believe some on here IMO He doesnt play against Pasquali every week mate

[blackpoolhibs]

Nish was hopeless today apart from the work he did in stopping their playmaker Eremenko from running the midfield. Nish was on him all game, :top marks apart from when we were attacking, then he was offside as usual.:boo hoo:

His willingness to go to ground is a weakness - there isn't a doubt about that - but with the number of fouls against him, it's something that is very much overplayed on here.

[blackpoolhibs]

Even if you think that BH, that's a MASSIVE plus, because Eremenko was destroying teams at the very start of the season.

He did do that very well,:top marks the Russian lad was dropping very deep and Nish was shutting him down well all game. I'd like a lot more from my centre forward though. The rest of his game was bloody awful. :boo hoo:

Isnt Erimenko a midfielder? Why should our strikers be soing that and not the midfiled? Why arnt their players worrying bout how good our players are rather than ours nulifying Kilmarnock players?

[Jones28]

Brown - terrific save late on but otherwise not much to do - 6

Hogg - MOTM 2 terrific headers and looked excellent until he picked up his knock - 9
Hanlon - Looked a bit shaky and terrible defending for their goal - 6
Bamba - Outstanding today, but he gets MOTM enough as it is, gie it tae Hoggy! - 8.999999
Stevenson - Looked a player out to prove himself and was up and down that left side by himself, Rankin was poor today - 7

Wotherspoon - Brilliant from Spooney, best performance for a long time - 8
Mcbride - Was poor, along with Miller, not captain material, as shown when Hogg went off - 5
Miller - Was better than Mcbride but couldnt pass water - 6
Rankin - Started brightly, faded and was deservedley subbed - 6

Nish - Still not convinced, a trier but not a player - 5
Riordan - Had nothing apart from set pieces, of which we would have had more if Brines had been paying attention - 6

Gaffer - Perhaps not our strongest team, but got us a first home win - 8

The futures bright... :flag:

He is a midfielder, but he was dropping so deep at times he was virtually playing as a 3rd centre half today during the 2nd half. They were trying to play football from the back and passing through our forwards, and Nish did a good job in stopping Erimenko doing better.

Still think its a bit of a sign of the times at Hibs the now that one of our front 2 is having to nulify the threat of one of their midfielders rather than them worrying about how good outr players are, especially at home. Dont you agree?

He does hard jobs. He comes deep for the ball, he challanges high up the pitch, he wins a fair amount in the air, and he'll act as a target man - despite it not being the best part of his game, it's good enough for numerous SPL managers to use him in such a manner. When he's played as a proper stiker, he scores goals - and has a fine record of it.

So a respectable goal record and a fair bit of endeavor.I think folk have a cheek to slate anyone with these attributes.

Nullify the threat, get out of the ***** that we have found ourselves in and change the 'times' later.

Eremenko (he's Finnish btw) was looking to pick the ball up all the time from the defence. Instructions came on from the bench for Nish to pick him up when they played the ball out from the back. Not a pretty job to do, but Nish certainly cut that option off for Killie.

The problem with one of the midfielders picking him up was he was dropping so deep to get the ball. Made it a tough shift for Nish who had to drop a bit deeper and Riordan who was left to shuttle between the two CH's.

So you put 1 of our strikers closing down one of their midfielders who is sitting in front of their back 4 as preserving the 3 points do you, I would personally love any midfielder dropping deep picking the ball up from the back 4 and let him do it, he's still got potentially 8 Hibs players to get past before it at least deems to be dangerous to us no? The argument that he closes chases / down these situations is so wide of the mark and im not disputing he did this to good effect today, cmon put it into perspective. Your coming across like this grafting so to speak that a number of players are capable of is is unique to what Nish offers Hibs?

[500miles]

He's not often played as a out and out striker at Hibs. He's usually the foil for the likes of Riordan and Stokes. When he was pushed further up that park last season, he got 5 goals in 3 games - and one incorrectly chopped off against Rangers. Now, I'm not saying that he would mantain that 2:1 ratio - but he would be on course for overtaking Billy Dodds in the SPL goalscoring stakes.

:faf: Statistics, they can be used in many a situation 5 in 3, how many in all competative games last season, I think your sats will look much poorer. When is he not played as an out and out striker??? Hes certainly not a winger / midfielder he is always played as an out and out striker wether that be a target man or 1 of 2. Deeks plays from midfield and manages to score double figures regularly and he has proven he will excel given a striker role, what has Nish done in this regard this season, not the last 5 years of his career this season, and last if you really want?

WTF has punctuation got to do with anything come back with a real point.

I dont disagree of course 11 mean do, your previous posts indicate that Nish was doing something special that would indiacte he is an assest? Every player should be closing down and busting a gut to give the oposition no time on the ball.

As for your poor attempt at answering my other point, your striker closing down a ch / midfielder playing deep is hardly the be all and end all at preservining the points, its a cog in the machine that i have no doubt any other player in our squad could do Nish or any other!

No????????

I dont disagree of course 11 mean do, your previous posts indicate that Nish was doing something special that would indiacte he is an assest? Every player should be closing down and busting a gut to give the oposition no time on the ball.

As for your poor attempt at answering my other point, your striker closing down a ch / midfielder playing deep is hardly the be all and end all at preservining the points, its a cog in the machine that i have no doubt any other player in our squad could do Nish or any other!

No????????

Come on big boy. Where did I say he did anything special?
Looking back, where did I use the word 'graft'?

Still don't understand a word you are ****ing talking about. Now **** off.

[Iggy Pope]

Whats your point, if you can give a decent debate leave your inappropriate comments to yourself no?

All I have seen tonight is you insult / be abusive to other posters, you been on the bevie aye?

That should make me feel a wee bit better but sadly, I despair. My own fault for joining in lively online debate with 12 year olds.

A would rather have zibby up front

Hmmm



I wasnt at the game today but from what I read its same old same old from Nish, I dont think in all my years as a Hibs fan ive seen so many people at each others throat over any player, some say usless not good enough some say hes an assett etc, what I am yet to see is anyone collectivly say Nish was good/excellent today just never seen it.

Let you off there then?
Dont get me wrong im not a big fan at all and im in the not good enough camp, just funny how it seems the majority see him for being poor yet there are always pockets of people ready to defend him.

Opinions I guess, where would we be without them :greengrin

You've also called me an idiot and a tool.

I took umbrage about a 51 year old reckoning he was quicker than a professional footballer
I did question your punctuation, (only because I never understood your point) and this is really a job for your teacher.
Since then you and yer plum mate Alex74 have jumped in with a lot of bollocks..

Wonder why none of Yogi's summer signings started today's game

I said that earlier however I still think they will all have an important part to play until at least January

[sparkiehibs]

Mark Brown - 6 - Not a huge amount to do. Nice save from free kick

Lewis Stevenson - 5 - Not a Left Back. Too slow getting back.

Paul Hanlon - 6 - Pretty Quiet

Sol Bamba - 7 - Solid

Chris Hogg - 8 - Man of the Match, even without the goals.

John Rankin - 5 - Playing LM but was never in that position

Kevin McBride - 5 - Not on the ball enough. Needs to take game by scruff of the neck

Liam Miller - 5 - Needs to drive the midfield forward

David Wotherspoon - 7 - Grew into the game. should not have been taken off

Deek Riordan - 7 - Works hard but needs more help from midfield

Colin Nish - 5 - forgot he was playing at one point. not involved enough

Subs

Hart - Too Slow, both in speed and reaction time

De Graff - Didnt change anything

Galbraith - Needs to be played on the left where he belongs

[cad]

Brown--7-- Looks like hes got the jersey

Hogg--7-- Scores 2 after being dropped great response ,would still think he is a squad player if we are to get better

Bamba--8 -- The Baldy boy was a handful for Sol ,which I thought he won the battle still think there a driving midfielder in there likes .

Hanlon 6 -- Hes getting there needs games ,distributions was slack at times

Stevenson 4-- Put in a few last ditch tackles ,his days are numbered

McBride--7-- Always encouraging and leading by example good shift from Mac


Miller--5-- Didnt impress me at all today few cameo bits ,far to many times his pass didnt make it ,only to put the whole defence on the back foot

Rankin--6-- Thought Ranks put a great shift in bit unlucky with one or two things not coming off ,but like Hogg a squad player

Spoony--6-- I think hes only going to get better and better ,

Deeks--4 -- Dismal would be an understatement ,ineffective for 90 mins

Nish--5-- A guys whos best IMO just isnt good enough .
The whole East Stands telling him hes offside still didnt take it in

Subs
Hart--4-- Dont think hes the answer to our fullback position poor

Galbraith--4--From the time he was on looked likely to cause a problem or 2 ,would like to see him start a few games

De Graaf--1-- Cant see what this guy brings to Hibs ,even when given the full 90
maybe with Zouma in the midfield it would be better but I can see him warming the bench for a while

Stick to the facts. I never deleted anything. Maybe Admin did. Certainly don't recall giving you any abuse.
I'd be more than happy to sometime though.

I trust that's not directed at me? Certainly no Yammishness coming from me. Look back at some of the Maribor or Arnhem travelling threads and you'll find me there or thereabouts.

Its a shame because a decent thread has been ruined by a few ****ing bairns oot tae point score..

Grow up ffs !!!

[Toaods]

Nade is more of a footballer than Nish FACT


...was speaking to Nade last night, he was asking when Nish is getting his first goal of the season.

[Big90inOz]

I'm not a fan of Colin Nish BUT yesterday he won a lot of balls in the air and more than a few were played into the box with no one getting on the end. Nish will never be a world beater and in my view is not good enough for Hibs but he doesn't deserve the completely over the top negative feedback from yesterday's game.
On the other hand Riordan had the touch of an elephant and played many poor balls, he had no decent effort on goal yet he gets 7 :rolleyes: I can only assume the action of running about merits 7 these days.
We got the win but we rode our luck on several occasions, the game could and should have been over before Hogg scored his first :agree:
Having said that I thought the intensity and work rate were much better sadly the skill on show was not.

We were clearly watching the same game yesterday.
Riordan 7??:confused:

Surely then Rankin would merit an 8 :wink:

[J-C]

Brown...6....could do nothing about the goal, confident otherwise
Hogg....8...bit shaky to stsrt with but was immense in the second half, a captain's performance and his legs just went due to lack of games.
Bamba....7 started slowly but was strong against a difficult opponent
Hanlon...7...also a slow start but was fairly solid otherwise
Stevenson...6...was constantly out of position in the first half and due to this the goal came, tightened up in the second half

Wotherspoon...7....ran his legs into the ground, tried very hard and was unlucky a few times
McBride....6....worked hard enough all game but couldn't make the impact enough, looked better when the game opened up a bit.
Miller...6...like McBride but shirks away from challamges all too often, needs to put his foot in where it hurts now and them
Rankin...6...worked his socks off as usual but couldn't find a pass to save himself

Rioedan...6....tried hard, did a lot of running and even a few tackles, getting ever more frustrated with some of the other players not being on the same script as him, needs to stop complaining and get on with it.
Nish....3....this guy is never a footballer, doesn't look to see if he's onside or not and when he's a mile offside, he doesn't even realise it, has no concept of what is going on around him, he doesn't even look like a footballer.

Overall....7.....a bit more passion by all the players and a team togetherness with a lot of high 5's and players congrtulating each other etc.

[SRHibs]

Brown - 7 - Don't want to jinx it, but looks solid and hasn't really made any glaring errors thus far. Hopefully we've finally found a reliable keeper

Hogg - 7 - Looked shaky up until he scored, but was fairly solid after that. Won us the game with his 2 goals too.
Bamba - 8 - Was class. Saved our ***** a good few times when either Hogg or Stevenson had been skinned on their respective sides.
Hanlon - 6 - Was ok.
Stevenson - 5 - Thought he looked shaky throughout the match and was far too easily beaten.

McBride - 5 - Ineffective.
Miller - 5 - As above.
Rankin - 5 - Ran around a lot and got himself into some good positions. His final ball was absolutely woeful though.
Spoony - 6 - The best of a bad bunch in midfield really.

Deeks - 5 - Was rubbish TBH. Like Nish, he never really looked like scoring. Did look like he was putting the effort in though.
Nish - 4 - Fell down a lot, misplaced a lot of passes, never posed a threat towards goal. He did win a couple of headers though.

Subs

Harte - 6 - Looked decent. Did what he was required to do.
Galbraith - 3 - Didn't do much.
De Graaf - 1 - Only touched the ball once.
