Fenlon Again Showing Why He's Not The Man For The Job

[Dashing Bob S]

Another ultra cautious line up. FINALLY signs a pacy creative player, has him training for two weeks and getting to know everybody, has him ON THE BENCH. I give up.

[joe breezy]

Defence is the best form of attack :confused:

[Golden Bear]

Now there's a surprise I don't think!

What's he like bob ? Does he look good ?

Just out of interest have you ever seen him Play?

[Dashing Bob S]

No.

I've had the misfortune to see the turgid chancers who have been wearing the jersey over the last few seasons, and he can't be any worse. But it being PF, I'm not even sure of that.

[SaulGoodman]

Your threads have been piss poor today.

Might not be 100% fit, or as Pat likes to say, a million miles away

In other news, Gareth Bale is set make his Real Madrid debut at Villarreal on the right wing tomorrow night.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed today that the Wales star, who played 30 minutes against Serbia on Tuesday night, will get his maiden Primera Liga run-out in the showpiece Saturday night clash at El Madrigal.

The Italian coach said: “Bale will travel and will play.

“I'm not sure if he will start or come off from the bench.

Former Chelsea and Italy boss Ancelotti confirmed that he plans to play Bale as a right-sided attacker and said: “Bale came here without having a normal pre-season, but his condition is not bad.

[RoYO!]

Your threads have been piss poor today.

Agreed

Does this really merit a thread outside of the match updates thread? :rolleyes:

Thats shocking, Real Madrid have struggled for years with lack of pace and no width whatsoever. Ancelotti is clearly a clown. :wink:

Aye coz bob having never seen the boy play or I assume even had heard of him 3 weeks ago reckons he should start 😃

?? You have posted about Zoubir scoring against Rangers but being "benched" followed by a raging smiley on the match thread. But you're giving Bob a hard time for saying the same thing here.

Hardly merits a thread of it's own though, especially with the title "Fenlon again showing why blah blah blah blah" which has been a thousand times before.

It'd be interesting to have something to discuss on here other than cheap attempts Fenlon bashing every single time.

I posted it on the thread for the game, as a joke. I didn't start a completely new thread, slating Fenlon for it after already making a thread slating Fenlon a few hours earlier.

[Beefster]

Aye coz bob having never seen the boy play or I assume even had heard of him 3 weeks ago reckons he should start 

Given that we've been getting told for the last three weeks that Zoubir would be one of the things that would make everything under Fenlon better, I think it's a fair point by DBS.

Think Green Goblin was answering Meh rather than OP, where Meh has a go at OP then agrees with him in another thread??

[skipster7]

deary ******g me, some proper attention seeking nonsense on here in the hour or two before a match:confused:

[Northernhibee]

Think Green Goblin was answering Meh rather than OP, where Meh has a go at OP then agrees with him in another thread??

But if the discussion is already happening in the match updates thread then why the need to start a whole new thread about it?

[Thecat23]

Disappointing to see he's benched. He's fit and ready according to the players and they like the look of him saying how easy he passes players.

Hopefully see him come on though with enough time to show what he can do.

Come on Hibs, lets get the 3 points.

It wasn't, this thread was posted at 2.04pm just before the match day thread was posted, which was also 2.04pm, so he couldn't have posted there if it wasn't there.

[SaulGoodman]

Maybe he could've posted on the thread he already made instead of posting a new thread?

You are giving up watching Hibs or posting on Hibs.net? I hope it's that latter if this is the type of rubbish you intend to continue posting.....

[Hibbyradge]

Who has been telling us that, though?

Certainly not Fenlon.

[blackpoolhibs]

I think Bob has a valid point, we needed a wide player and we have one now, and i'm assuming he's learnt the players names, but he's on the bench.

We needed a centre back a few weeks ago, Nelson came in and was straight in to the team, its another pointer in my opinion to just how cautious Fenlon is.

[cocopops1875]

Aye ? For 3weeks ? Can't say I have seem anyone say its gonna make anything better. Did see the Cat mention the players rate him but that was in the last couple of days

[J-C]

Maybe he could've posted on the thread he already made instead of posting a new thread?

Yep he could've but as a member of this board he decided he wanted to post a brand new thread relating to Fenlon, specially when the team had been announced and Zoubir not included in the starting line up.

[Hibby 2005]

I guess we should be thankful Fenlon is going with 2 forwards who look like they know where the net is. I also think that they will have to create the goals for themselves as I can only see Craig, out of that midfield, being able to provide a decent pass in a forward area.

I suspect the new boy will only come on if we're getting beat and time is running out.

My thoughts exactly. I can almost understand total negativity after a loss/boring draw but not before a game. COME ON HIBS!

[SaulGoodman]

Why start a new thread though? For attention?

But Bob, you never know when we might need to blood someone else in the RB role always handy to have cover on the bench:wink:

Seriously, if fit, we have to get this type of player into action asap.

[Beefster]

Who has been telling us that, though?

Certainly not Fenlon.

Posters on here have been using Zoubir in their defence of Fenlon since he signed.

Incidentally, even Fenlon implied it a couple of days ago.

Aye, three weeks.

[WestEndHibee]

It makes for pretty darn boring reading though doesn't it?

[J-C]

Why start a new thread though? For attention?

I really don't know or don't care, there are many many bad threads on this board that I generally ignore, ask him yourself if it bothers you that much, or just ignore the thread altogether.

DBS has a point re Zoubir, we need/want pace and excitement, we get in a player who seemingly can give us this, yet decides to play a very similar team to the gash we've seen this past few weeks and has him on the bench. If it's a fitness thing then I'd still start with him and hope he gives us the lift we need to give us a good start to the game, then if we are ahead, you could then play with a lot more caution and crowd the midfield.

[Hibbyradge]

The boy has come from a different league in a foreign country.

Introducing him to our league gently makes sense to me.

Ikechi Anya played well for Scotland on Tuesday, but he only got a bit part in his debut against Belgium the previous Friday. Strachan is still getting plaudits.

[J-C]

Like half the threads on this board.

I agree he has a point about Zoubir, that's why I posted it on another thread. I just don't see the point in a new thread about it :aok:

But as I said the other thread hadn't been posted when DBS posted this one, or he might've posted it on that.

No.

You all right, Bob? You're sounding like me. :wink:

Aye, three weeks.

Gid

[The Green Goblin]

You just said that post was joking! Really confused now :greengrin. Okay - seriously then, let's not argue about it. It's back to 1-1. Here's hoping we can push on and win it now, with or without Zoubir. Ggtth

[johnrebus]

Hibs sign a wide attacking player with pace?

No chance.


It will be a tailors dummy sitting on the bench.



We usually send out eleven of them whenever at Tynecastle.....

[Dashing Bob S]

I feel massively flattered to have caused a minor Hibs net controversy on a) the very suitability of such a thread and b) the appropriateness of the content, but somewhat unworthy of both the rancour and the support, flattering as they are!

Is there inadvertent link to pornographic material I've managed to miss, or is my ire at Fenlon not fielding our new signing really that exciting?

[GlenrothesHibee]

Definitely not the man

[Keith_M]

:shotdowni

[exHIBition]

Bob you are 100% right. PF is not the man for the job. I am glad we have people around who can see results like today's coming before a ball has been kicked. Fenlon got it all wrong. Mystic Bob :wink:

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Well done, Pat Fenlon.

[Pete]

I hope he shows us again next week.

[Liam89]

Brilliant management from Pat Fenlon. The man for the job. I'd delete this thread and leave hibs.net if I were you, embarrassing.

[ahibby]

He has the players and now it seems he knows how to use them. We will still suffer the odd crazy game when we get humped but I think we will win more than we lose from now to end of season. OOps hope I haven't jinxed them.

[Elephant Stone]

Informative thread, will read again.

That's a bit harsh haha

[hfc rd]

Pat certainly made me eat my own words with that lineup he selected at the start. :)

[hibsbollah]

We won the game 2-1. That in itself doesnt make Bobs point invalid, does it?

:hmmm:


St Mirren are a team with out a win this season and only scored 2 goals to boot, lets hope Hibs aren't to giving next week. :cb


Ya jinx :greengrin

That does it! I'm off to Tynecastle to buy a season ticket that will last till liquidation in October, set up a direct debit, and get some shares that will never arrive!

[Tricla]

The manager has us on a 4 match unbeaten run, performances are improving and his signings are starting to work.

So, yes.

Don't do that Bob I still need your recommendation for my winter coat this year
