Have to say, after a great performance in the Zombies match, our captain has IMO reverted to type in the last 2 matches and for me he is just not captain material. Personally would have dropped him for Dylan yesterday.
Also he never acknowledges the fans at FT unless we win, credit to Fontaine and Robbo who were i think the only 2 who did yesterday.
Disappointed as I thought after Gers game, LC would kick on but he was poor in derby and pretty woeful yesterday.

Harsh, one swallow doesn't make a summer. We had a number of players of the boil yesterday, keeper, defence, Allan, Robo so to start a thread to single out Craig is wrong IMO.

Craig was not poor in the Derby at all.

Thought we played well and contributed to us dominating the majority of the game.

Not the worst yesterday but he did start reverting back to his pointing and shouting game again, at times I just want to see him lead from the front instead of being a moaner on the park, he wasn't one that lost us the points.

Just said on another thread that he has improved his performance of late but definitely isn't captain material

Thought he was okay yesterday other than pathetic clearance that hit off Hanlon and went into our own net

Would like to see him at tip of diamond with Allan and McGeough the middle two

Im npt singling him out at all so unsure why people are stating I am?? However he is our captain and IMO not performing nearly enough on a consistent basis. There were a few who let us down yesterday I agree but as Captain I dont think he takes enough responsibility on the park. ..the opposite in fact he hides. Think about when it went to 3 3 yesterday...the finger pointing and moaning at ref starts rather than cajoling and inspiring his team mates. Again I am not picking on him or singling him out for losing 2pts yesterday but the Rangers match apart...i dont think he does anywhere near enough for the team

I don't get the finger pointing and talking to the ref stuff, he does it all the time so not just like he does it when we are getting beat. Look at the rangers and hearts games for example, he's constantly in the refs ear and rightly so most if the time. As long as it doesn't distract him from his game and I don't think it does, it's just his way, footballs always had moaners and players like this, Barry Ferguson made a career out of it. Also it's part if being a captain aswell that he's the one that talks to the ref and jot half your team.

:agree:

Our Captains always seem to get it tight for some bizarre reason or another.

Rob Jones used to get accused of being the Wandering Jew of Jerusalem, allegedly out of position constantly, tearing about the pitch up at the left wing like a deranged giraffe (and 3 Hibs managers let get him get away with his perceived desire to roam).

So when Hogg replaced him as Captain people should have been happy, but apparently his hair was too fluffy and resembled that of a child's teddy bear making him a poor choice to have the job of inspiring his team mates.

Then McPake came along but apparently he was too inspiring to be a Captain and we needed someone with less fire in his belly.

Now there is no point in Liam Craig being Captain because he points.

30 minutes from our midfield yesterday and then they faded when falkirk pushed us higher up the spark and the space wasn't there.
LC was not the worst in a poorer showing than what we have been used to and I do agree that when we don't have lots of possession and need to work for it he almost completely disappears ...instead rolling the sleeves up getting people to work and keep shape he starts moaning at refs and loosing concentration ..doesn't lead the team .

Yes I would. What a strange question.

liam Craig does not act like a captain , lead like one or play like one. A hibs captain should be someone to look up to. Someone you can count on. I expect him to at least look proud to manage such a great club.in times of need he has gone missing.
its not an agenda, it's an observation and if you opened your eyes you would see the guy more times than not plays very poor.

I doubt that. Not strange at all IMHO.

In what way does he not act like a captain? What do you mean by "look up to"? A football team should be able to count on everyone in the team, not just the captain, although the captain has additional responsibilities.

"Look proud to manage such a great club" - Liam Craig isn't the manager. I presume you mean to captain the club? How is he meant to look exactly?

If Craig has "gone missing" (whatever that specifically means - you don't say) he sure aint the only one I've seen in a Hibs jersey doing that in recent seasons, yet Craig gets it tight on these forums regularly. That's what I mean by an agenda.

Believe me, my eyes are wide open. I just disagree that he plays very poorly more times than not. If that was the case do you think AS would be playing him in the team?

I respect AS judgement more than yours when it comes to judging a football player. LC is not the greatest Hibs captain, but the criticism he gets on this forum is over the top.

How many times have I read posters coming on here saying the supporters should get behind the team. I presume you exclude Liam Craig from that?

Jeezo, some crazy comments in this thread likes! About 20% of the captains job is on the field on a Saturday, I mean, I don't think folk are thick or anything, but perhaps they get caught up in the 2 hours of matchday and forget what being a club captain is all about? For every 1 person that says "he moans and points", you'll get 100 who see him as someone who is willing to give every fibre of his being for the team and his team mates. I'm not Craig's biggest fan, he's got flaws, every single one of our players have flaws, but I very much think he's laid a lot of last seasons ghosts to rest this year with some consistently very good performances.

So it was his fault alone we got relegated? Maybe the fact he was played consistently out of position by an imposter of a manager was somewhat instrumental in this process. If you really think he's only had one good performance this season then I have to presume it's the only game you've seen. He will be a very important player for us this season, as he has already proved to most fans. Try cheering him on next game, you might actually enjoy it a bit more.

I enjoy the games fine, I have been to 90% of the games this season home and away, and he doesn't deserve to be in our starting 11 never mind our captain.

I never said it was his fault but he was a major contributor to us going down.

The fact is, he just isn't a very good footballer and to top it off he isn't very likeable to watch with his antics towards the refs and opposing players every game, its actually embarrassing that he is our captain.

Phone do you know the players don't look up to him and don't count on him? Remember the captain doesn't always have to be the best player, there's a number of qualities and strengths players have and most a regular punter won't see that qualifies him to be the captain and from what I gather he is a very good leader and ambassador of our club.

I agree you don't have to justify every view you give. I don't think anybody has asked you to do that. What is happening is that your views / opinions are being challenged. You shouldn't be surprised by that if you post on a fans forum.

My idea of captain material is someone like the great Pat Stanton, Frank Sauzee, or even Rob Jones (not everyone will agree with that even I suspect). Unfortunately we don't have players like that at Hibs at the moment, and no way is Liam Craig as good as these players.

I'm trying to make the point that, in my opinion, some of the criticism of Liam Craig is ridiculous, and way OTT.

Well Liam Craig getting a fair crack of the whip from supporters didn't last very long did it!

Unbelievable.

We're on a decent run of form and have a bad day at the office with the keeper and defence chucking goals in whilst the strikers miss open goals yet Liam Craig gets it in the neck?

He wasn't at his best on Saturday, nowhere near his worst and there were at least 6 players worse than him

Coward of a footballer. Heart sinks a little more every time I see Craig and Robertson lining up in midfield together.

Ah well, another day, another senseless post. I despair.

never been Craig's biggest fan, don't think he is a good footballer but he does try.
Can not believe you are having a go at Robertson. His work rate is 2nd to none and he is a decent footballer

Some people don`t rate certain players and express their views via the forum, this causes outrage amongst the super elite clique, some of that group respond by calling you a yam................................Hibs have some very good players, good players and not so good players, Alan Stubbs has done a tremendous job in the short space of time he has been here, mostly the pick of the team are the guys that he has brought to the club.

He didnt have a good game yesterday but his form has been much better than earlier in the season. Him and Robertson looked a little tired on Saturday tbh - as did Allan. We gave up loads of possesion in the midfield in the 2nd half, which obv put us under loads of pressure.

I looked forward to seeing Craig come here and he played ok in the first few months under Fenlon, he and nearly every player at the club were terrible under Butcher, with him being captain made that more annoyng as you were looking for leadership from him.

I would've been delighted if he went elsewhere at the end of last season and after a few disappointing games he's started to play a lot better but he's still not the player he should be, he doesn't take games by the scruff of the neck and make things happen, Allan and McGeough have been doing that instead.

Saturday he was just ok, decent in the 1st half but like the whole team he vanished into hs wee shell when needed most, his contract I think is up in the summer and I can't see it being renewed.

Actually a 12 year old would know how to multi quote, it's us old guys who can't cope with technology. However, using my super skills I did have a quick glance at your last 25 posts, every one of which is entirely negative & almost angry. Either you're a Yam on the wind-up or you really need to have a lie down from time to time.
FWIW, I watched the whole game on Hibs TV yesterday & I would on balance say that LC had a decent game & I'm not one of his biggest fans. All sport is confidence & in the 1st half in particular LC expressed himself, going at the defence & threading through some excellent passes. After his unlucky og that confidence dipped & so did his performance but not his effort. Separately it really is encouraging to notice that nearly every player yesterday, certainly in first half, looked to go forward & make something happen. What a difference from the side, back, side, back - hoof routine of last season.

Aye, these Hibs supporters who come onto Hibs fans websites and defend Hibs players need to have a word with themselves.

No mate I don't.... Just sick and tired of folk having a go at Craig. After last seasons debacle under Butcher the easy thing for Liam to do would be to ask for a transfer. Be in no doubt there would have been premier league clubs lining up to sign him. He didn't. He has knuckled down and is working hard. Liam will admit himself he can do better but if you're seriously saying he isn't a better player from last season.... Well, it's you that's coming across as a 12 year old.... Oh, and i will post exactly the way I want to thanks very much... :aok:

Just said on another thread that he has improved his performance of late but definitely isn't captain material

Thought he was okay yesterday other than pathetic clearance that hit off Hanlon and went into our own net

Would like to see him at tip of diamond with Allan and McGeough the middle two

I would like to see him at St Johnstone or anywhere else rather than at Hibs.

I want to defend Craig but I'm not part of the Super Elite Clique, where can I get an appplication form?
Accusing him of cowardice is just slavering.
I can't be ersed writing anything else.

Agree totally with this, tbh a lot of comments on this thread are unfair but Craig is not the player most of cus thought we had signed and I think he should probably move on in the summer

Harsh, one swallow doesn't make a summer. We had a number of players of the boil yesterday, keeper, defence, Allan, Robo so to start a thread to single out Craig is wrong IMO.

Agree with this he's been good recently. He gets a lota stick, wasn't great on Saturday wasn't awful, needs our support not criticism.

Since I watched him against Malmo my view is that he is generally weak. Never ever a Captain.
A move would benefit him and Hibs.

He's been in the swimming pool with the physio according to my mate, he always sees Farid and Jordan in the pool with Kirsty. So maybe had a knock?
