who is our best player

[shetlandhibee]

Whats your opinion, who has been our best player so far?

[HH81]

Cairney.

[matty_f]

McGivern.

[shetlandhibee]

Cairney. Although Claros and griffiths not far behind.

[HibeeN]

In terms of technical ability and skill it's got to be Griffiths, but in terms of who performs best for the team it's Cairney for me, though good arguments could also be made for Griffiths, McGivern and Claros.

[Green Fish]

IMO first season in SPL - Cairney - we need more like him

[CalgaryHibs]

Whats your opinion, who has been our best player so far?

Sparky hands doon!

[Russell The Dug]

Mcgivern.

[3pm]

Wotherspoon.

[hibsbollah]

Griffiths.

[HibbyAndy]

Its Cairney.

[lord bunberry]

Griffiths for me i think he is the one player we have that can turn a game with a bit of magic

[allezsauzee]

Griffiths by a distance. Cairney is a good wee player but he lacks pace and because of that I think he's probably reached his level now. McGivern looks like a player that could step up a level for 80/90% of the time and then has a spell in most games where he loses concentration. However because he looks good going forward he'll be rated more highly than other defenders. I think Clancy is our best defender and it's a pity he's had injury problems. I'm not one the anti Maybury brigade but Tim is simply much better.

[Big_Franck]

McGivern for me, closely followed by Griffiths. McGivern will go on to play at a higher level than anyone else in our squad IMO.

[The Voice Of Reason]

Wotherspoon.

:tee hee:

In all seriousness, McGivern for me. He is strong, quick, good in the air and has a great touch on him. He will go on to bigger and better things. :agree:

[Greendub]

Cairney and Williams

[down-the-slope]

if you had asked 2 weeks ago would have said Claros easily...possibly Williams as he is more consistent (best is subjective - could be talent or could be what they bring to team over all - I have gone for latter. Talent wise Sparky but not a consistent contribution)

[jon paul jones]

Good question by the way

In their position and who has improved the team i'd have to go for

Williams

No more fassin at crosses and hibby defending from Zibbi's days

[NOLA]

Benny Brazil

[R'Albin]

Griffiths. He's been poor as of late but still a class above everybody else besides McGivern.

[madabouthibs]

McGivern or Williams for me.
Griffiths has scored for fun this season so far, but I think he's one of those players that will be affected by his own hype, and it'll probably hamper his career.

[leither17]

Williams

[Wotherspiniesta]

Wotherspoon.

[HTD1875]

Mcgivern by quite a bit got all the attributes to make it at a higher level.

[Hibstrooper]

I think I'd go with the consensus on this thread, McGivern. Really looks head and shoulders above at times and is super consistent whilst our other good players are far more up and down.

Honorary mention to Big Bad Ben too who is an excellent keeper.

[SteveHFC]

Kuqi

[Love the Green]

Wotherspoon.

:hilarious

[Love the Green]

Wotherspoon.

Surprise surprise..what a shocker..get yourself along tp specsavers ASAP.

keep the faith:faf:

[Hibees07]

Ben Williams, if it wasn't for him we would be 2nd bottom and out the Scottish Cup.

[JimBHibees]

Ben Williams, if it wasn't for him we would be 2nd bottom and out the Scottish Cup.

Your a right bundle of joy, santa left you with an empty stocking. Honestly cant remember Williams having a save of note in the cup tie.

[Hiber-nation]

Ben Williams, if it wasn't for him we would be 2nd bottom and out the Scottish Cup.

Williams, Griffiths and McGivern have probably been our most consistent but your post is utter nonsense. He hardly had a save in the Cup game. Who are you comparing him to?!?

[Heedersnvolleys]

McGivern.

Not OUR player

[Heedersnvolleys]

Sparky hands doon!

Not OUR player

[Hiber-nation]

Not OUR player

Who exactly has he played for this season? :confused:

[Hibees07]

Williams, Griffiths and McGivern have probably been our most consistent but your post is utter nonsense. He hardly had a save in the Cup game. Who are you comparing him to?!?

You have to be on the wind up, a Patterson header after 5mins and the great save from the deflected header off Hanlon. We could have been 2 down.

[patch1875]

Claros for me would shine even more in a good team

[DaveF]

You have to be on the wind up, a Patterson header after 5mins and the great save from the deflected header off Hanlon. We could have been 2 down.

Well you clearly have a different recollection from me and others. Both those saves you mention, I'd expect a keeper to make with the minimum of fuss.

[Heedersnvolleys]

All seriousness that is an issue for me, the 3 players we need to keep our season going are loans and could be away in a couple weeks. Not a good situation. Suppose it is better than last season when we had team full of loans we wanted to get rid of;-)

[Hiber-nation]

You have to be on the wind up, a Patterson header after 5mins and the great save from the deflected header off Hanlon. We could have been 2 down.

Would another keeper not have saved these? As I said Williams has been one of our best players but these saves were relatively simple.

[JimBHibees]

You have to be on the wind up, a Patterson header after 5mins and the great save from the deflected header off Hanlon. We could have been 2 down.

Both run of the mill saves.

[frazeHFC]

McGivern.....out of players who are not on loan, a toss between Taiwo and Cairney.

Really like the look of Taiwo!

[marinello59]

Not OUR player


Not OUR player

Dearie me. Lets spin even more positives in to a negative. Heaven forbid that we relax and praise those who have worn out jersey this season. Did you miss a smiley out or are you merely being arsey because you can?
I believe the former...... Peace and love to Hibbys everywhere.:thumbsup:

[TrinityHibs]

Who is best and who gives more is a different question. For me if I had to choose a player first on the team sheet its Williams. I just like having a real goalkeeper for once. LG has the potential if he could sort out consistency. So does Spoonie who I still think is one of the last of the golden generation.

[lucky]

McGivern for me, closely followed by Griffiths. McGivern will go on to play at a higher level than anyone else in our squad IMO.

Agree with this.

[marinello59]

Agree with this.

Add me to the McGivern fan club too. I expect to see him in the top league down South on a regular basis.

[Hibees07]

McGivern was outstanding against Hearts and has been fairly consistent but it's still Williams for me.

[Heedersnvolleys]

You right can't get a smiley on my phone:-) Don't get me wrong wish they were OUR players.

[Teuchter Hibbie]

Griffiths by a country mile in terms of ability. His quality in comparison with those around him is frequently glaringly obvious. In terms of performances this season and overall contribution to the team, I'd go with Cairney.

[The Voice Of Reason]

Wotherspoon.

Agreed - definitely Wotherspoon...........(or Kuqi)! 😄

[Steve20]

Amadou Konte.

[Wotherspiniesta]

Surprise surprise..what a shocker..get yourself along tp specsavers ASAP.

[Ultrabee1-0]

Doyle when he is at his best, just my opinion tho, his passing,vision,movement finishing and bring players into play and he can beat a man he does it for me always puts a good graft in as well!

[Famous5forever]

Griffiths.

Agreed

[neil7908]

Williams or Claros in terms of there general consistency.

[HibeeSince85]

The guys on loan are our best players, all three offer something different but it would be sparky we'd miss the most if we couldn't get in a ready made goal scorer.

Out of the boys in the books it's between Williams and Cairney.

[Russell The Dug]

If not a loan player I would go Cairney then Doyle. Be gutted if he didn't get a new deal.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Sparky , if not a loan player then Clancy

[Shaggy]

Cairney by a mile.


( I dont know why alot on here ***** there knickers over Claros,
yes he can win tackles with the odd pass, but only if the action comes to him,
other than that he wanders off anywhere out of position, and leaves a hole in the midfield... usually why we dont get going
...sorry only my opinion,
but he would be my first shout for a taxi).

oh aye, still cairney for graft and commitment,
by a mile

[3pm]

Wotherspoon.

At least I was taking the piss!!

[andy1875]

Slightly of topic but this thread has reminded me o something that made me chuckle away to myself at the start of the season. I was in the club shop competing the Hibs kids application form for my daughter and one of the questions was "Favourite Hibs Player"? I did contemplate putting Sunshine the mascot down (bairns favourite thing about the games) but in the end left it blank haha sad times!

Anyhow that was then and this is now, our best player currently for me is, Ben Williams. Doyle/Sparky/McGivern/Cairney all been decent but Williams simply because its so refreshing to see a Hibs goalie that is capable of doin the basics right. Touch wood I ain't jinxed this now :greengrin

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Cairney. It's not even close! Nobody else can beat a man.

[whiskyhibby]

McGivern

[hibs4thecup1988]

Best player : Griffiths

Best Newcomer : Cairney

Player who has most improved : Wotherspoon

For the people laughing at Wotherspoon being the best this season in the last few pages...get a grip! He has played some great games, and if this was the other way round and we acted as Jambos do with a winning goalscorer in a derby we would be screaming for him to be knighted.
He has scored some crackers this season and always played and set up a few goals too.

[Wotherspiniesta]

Spot on, IMO.

:aok:

[Pete]

Would another keeper not have saved these? As I said Williams has been one of our best players but these saves were relatively simple.

The one that was going in the top left hand corner of the goal didn't look simple at all from the west lower(south end). From my angle he saved a certain goal.

The **** thought they had scored for a micro second and so did we. Cue more goading!:na na:

[gegs70]

Cairney has been a real bargain and gets my vote.

[Moon unit]

McGivern
McGivern! - class apart..! Sparky a close second for his ability to excite and grab a goal.

[rosco-hibee]

So the general consensus is McGivern, Griffiths or Cairney.

I think credit needs to go to McPake. The SC final aside(arguably the only player worth his wage that day), I think he has played a part instilling some pride and desire into the rest of the team. Clearly wears his heart on his sleeve when wearing the green and white and can only be a good influence on our younger players.
