Perhaps not fully match sharp but I thought he put in a decent shift. Good work rate, good link up play and I think he seems to read the game quite well. Also gives us different options up front which is always nice.

I agree.

He looks nippy and he did seem to play himself into the game more this week.

He's even less of a target man then James Collins though.

Thought he did really well today. His pace put the defence under a lot of pressure and he chased down quite a few lost causes to get possession back for us.

Pretty much how we assessed Collins after his first few games.

He looked far more of a target man than Collins to me! Started really well but faded later. Looked good running into channels and great run and cross for our second goal. On the basis of today he is a far better option than Collins.

Really?

He didn't challenge for anything, he didn't win a single header, and he didn't hold anything up.

Ball stuck more often that not when played into his feet. Good touch and pace, so overall it was an impressive debut.

Would like to see 2 up top though. Think he would link up well with a partner close by him.

Your first sentence is incorrect on every point! He won several headers - on one occasion their defender went through the back of him but the ref played good advantage.

Some lovely touches and has pace which makes defenders nervous of getting too tight. Much much better than Collins although perhaps the 2 together may work.

Thought his movement was good. Brought Handling into the play well, didn't win a lot in the air but constantly challenged and made it tough for the defenders. Held it up well and generally looked a menace.

Maybe needs a wee bit more composure but that could have been from trying too hard.

Hardly a vast improvement on Collins. The two players are completely different.
I would look at pairing them up as he has the pace that Collins lacks.
That said i thought he was very positive today and should have had a debut goal.

He plays in the same position so I think I'm perfectly entitled to say he's a vast improvement on Collins!

I did say he looks far more of a target man than Collins and not that he looked a good target man. Mind you in my opinion Jimmy Crankie is a better option than Collins in the Target man department.

My definition also includes passes below head height where he held the ball up well and brought team mates into the game. I thought he challenged for headers more than Collins does although I would agree he didn't win many if any. Neither Haynes nor Collins look like target men to me but Haynes does look like he could do a job up front.

Collins isn't a target man either and said as much himself when he signed.

I've tried to back Collins on here time and again but Haynes dealt with the style of service we give far better today than Collins has in recent weeks.

Ye need to get to spec savers Haynes and Handling together were like a breath of fresh air. Haynes has a good first touch and hplds the ball up well and plays other players in. I liked collins ok but you could see the difference when collins came on he couldn't hold the ball up for us and it came back at us for the last 20.
Just a pity Duncan Watmore wasn't fit today felt he would have set up a couple for Handling and Haynes

You're right.

I like Haynes and he looks like he could offer us a lot, but I don't think he's great with his back to goal.

Collins isn't either, but I think he puts in more challenges, wins more headers and generally holds the ball up better.

Personally I would start with both Collins and Haynes. They just pull Killies defence around opening space for others at the same time. As for Haynes v Collins, yes they are different but in terms of front men there is not much to choose between them.

I can assure you that if Haynes is played consistently up front on his own as Collins has, it wont be long until the boo boys are on his back.
Also Collins had very little to work with, given that until recently the central midfield performances have been so abject that very little service was given to Collins.
There was more creativity from the midfield today and i think Haynes benefited from that. I would like to see them paired up, but until we can get a grip of a game in the middle of the park i cant see us playing two out and out strikers together.

Maybe I noticed it more in the second half in that case, but my general impression is that Haynes wasn't too keen to get into the mix with the County defenders, and I didn't see much stick to him.

I like him, but we really can't expect much if we're going to lump long balls at him.

We need Mixu if we're going to do that.

It's crazy how we view players. I actually rate Collins and think his hold up play is superb. Doesn't win enough headers for me but that's my only issue. He's got a good touch and rarely loses the ball. Still think with an out and out striker up beside him he'd be a very good player for us.

Very crazy. His hold up play is ganting and he has the touch of an elephant. His finishing is dreadful as well. The only thing he has going for him is his work rate. Apparently theres a player in there somewhere, if he gets the service he will start to score goals, he needs another striker up there to help him.

Im sick of hearing that there is a player in there based on ifs buts and maybes, he needs to actually show it on the pitch , which he blatantly hasnt done in his time at ER.

Usually agree with what you say TC but can't on Collins. Work rate, yes. But he played about 10'mins and the ball never really stuck to him at all. I find him sluggish.

Haynes tired second half but I thought there was a threat when the ball went up front first half. There was more of a sharpness. With Collins I just never feel like anything is going to happen.

It's very harsh to judge a penalty box striker on his first touch when it is 30 yards from goal, he should be judged on putting away chances that fall in the box, of which he has had virtually hee haw. Give the guy a break.

:agree: This! Collins always puts in a shift but hasn't got the level of control required for this level IMO - the ball just bounces off him more often than not. Haynes looks a much more accomplished footballer and has the pace, touch and intelligence in posession to make him a first pick up front from our current crop IMO.

said he's 30 yards from goal with the first touch .We were spoilt last season with LG and what he did in that position .As long as he gives his all he as will haynes get my full support

Very crazy. His hold up play is ganting and he has the touch of an elephant. His finishing is dreadful as well. The only thing he has going for him is his work rate. Apparently theres a player in there somewhere, if he gets the service he will start to score goals, he needs another striker up there to help him.

Im sick of hearing that there is a player in there based on ifs buts and maybes, he needs to actually show it on the pitch , which he blatantly hasnt done in his time at ER.

If everything you said in this post is true, then how come so many posters were mentioning him on the player of the year thread?

I was impressed with Haynes and feel he deserves to retain his place. He held the ball up better than Collins has been doing and that's one of the things we need - especially if we're going to be playing 4-2-3-1 or some variation of that.

I think Collins deserves to be given more of a chance though. Most of the time he's been playing we have had very little creativity with no Harris or Stanton or even Watmore or Cairney. It's been a tough shift for him and his confidence will have suffered.

I'd like to see Collins have a wee rest and then come back in once Harris, Stanton and Watmore have settled into the side more and when (hopefully) we are creating more for our striker.

Beats me He is on a three year contract so not going anywhere fast .So think he will get further opportunities between now and end of season but don't think he will come back in from start for Killie game

False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing.

Danny haynes from what ive seen and heard is gpretty decent fast, strong and cn score a bit of goals. Good move by tb to bring in a striker because collins is useless, he can shoot for s***, has the touch of a baby elephant and falls over whenever someone is behind him. Im also a bit disappointed by heffernan he seems decent technically but has the physic of a 80 year old, very one footed and is very slow and weak. Right thats my rant over;) :') Imo I think Cummings with a bit of confidence and if gets his first goal will flurish next to a decent stricker!

Purely on what I saw of the highlights against Killie, Haynes looks a far better player than Collins, and it was a superb header too. He's fast, works hard, and seems to have a good eye for goal. Unfortunately Collins only seems to have 1 of those qualities, on what I've seen so far anyway. I wonder what it would cost to sign Haynes permanently?

On the plus side the baby elephant scored a well-taken goal against the yams (ok so did the man who did a lot of unseen work).

I do scratch my head about Collins - hopefully not another one of these enigmatic players Hibs have a tendency to sign who arrive full of promise but fail to reach expectations.

As for Haynes only saw him for the home games. Lively and a threat. Good to see him get amongst the goals. But I do fear there's no danger he'll be here if I works out beyond the season - yet another player away from family for me it just doesn't work but who knows could they move to Embra? You can tell from the tweets his family (rightly so) are everything to him. Just like Leigh away from home could never be anything other than a short term option.

Aw, I looked at his wiki and it says his deal expires in summer 2015? Regardless, hope we can keep him if he keeps doing what he is doing!

:agree: He signed a two year deal with them last summer so his contract is up at the end of next season.

Just read through this thread with interest.

He is in contract with county until summer 2015, not all county fans hate him - he is just frustrating.

You have yourselves a decent but inconsistent player. He seems to lack confidence and head will go down very quickly when things are not going his way. He is very quick and he gets to show this when he is played in his preferred position of right mid.

I will be keeping an eye on his progress at hibs, lived in edinburgh for a few years when studying and regularly visited both hibs and hearts grounds and enjoyed the games, I was pleased to hear he had gone to SPL on loan.

I was sorting and deleting my bookmarks list and I found this old thread that I must have kept for future "told you so" opportunities. Iggy Pope, in particular, take heed.

Haynes is just about getting a game for English 6th tier side, Ebbsfleet United.

Collins is still scoring goals for League one outfit Shrewsbury. He was their top scorer last term in league 2.

Spoke to wee Watmores best mate whilst on holiday in Greece. Danny enjoyed treating the younger boys like sh@t, very rarely spoke, supported or even passed the ball in training. Made theirs lives misery and was allowed to do so.

Not convinced this is true.

Did we actually train under Butcher?

Brutal player. The fact Butcher decided to start him in the second leg against Hamilton just summed up how clueless he was. That tie was screaming out for Thomson to sit in the middle of the park and slow things down, instead Butcher chucked a headless chicken who hadn't played for weeks on to the wing. Was it 7 minutes he lasted before bringing Harris on, to then sub him off to finally bring on Thomson. An embarrassing sequence of events that perfectly sums up Butchers entire managerial career to be honest.
In mildly similar news, read earlier that 15 clubs are currently keeping tabs on Watmore

I thought that - like Watmore - he looked quite lively when he came on against Raith on his debut. He looked like he had a bit of what we'd been lacking most - pace - and that with the right service he would go on and do well for us.

Then - nothing.

He seemed to be dragged down by the general malaise about the place, looked totally out of confidence and I don't really remember him making a single meaningful contribution. I remember him at least trying to gee up the fans once or twice (at St Mirren?) and being met with total apathy.

At least he could have been a positive influence about the training ground having made a decent impact at a higher level earlier in his career (Ipswich) but it seems that even that was too much to ask.

I think that the mood around the club went way beyond Butcher to be fair but the manager was clearly a part of it. The "culture" at Hibs was totally wrong and it is great credit to Stubbs and Dempster that they appear to have turned that aspect around so significantly and so quickly.

Did he not score an absolute raker at Killie then get himself sent off or am I imagining that. :greengrin

Did he not get sent off at St Johnstone? The game we lost and were terrible but Sean Murdoch played a blinder?

Was it not Roy O'Donovan who scored the howitzer that surprised us all at Killie?

I honestly don't remember Haynes scoring for us but I could be wrong.

Just checked Haynes scored his one goal for Hibs against Killie but was a close range header in a 1-1 draw.

He scored a header against Killie away.

His red card in Perth was shocking and I hoped his loan spell was terminated with immediate effect. Guy was pony.

I can vaguely remember his header being quite the belter. Was behind him and had to check his run and angle his body in a weird way to get to it. But my word was this guy dire. And that's not to back up anyone in the argument of James Collins Vs Danny Haynes. Both were rife and I can't quite believe we ever had they two in our ranks.

Yeah, it was a good header. Sadly the only moment of quality he produced in his whole time here.
