Our best player

[Velma Dinkley]

A lot of people have been saying Scott has been our best player. It's all about opinions, of course, but I think David Gray is our best player. Great defender, gives us a real threat going forward, pace, stamina and leads by example. Also, I think Jason probably has the most potential of any of our players. League's top goal scorer last season. Not bad. Who do you think is our best player? (I don't know how to do a poll) :flag:

[MWHIBBIES]

Agreed. The whole Allan was far and away our best player actually annoys me a lot. Mcgeough, Grey, Stevenson, Fontaine, Cummings, Malonga and even Fyvie all done their jobs as well last season as Allan did his.

Of course he is a good player and in an ideal world he'd still be here but he had awful games last season in which he hardly bothered his arse and we've lost far better players than him down the years. I've said all summer to friends and family that I'd take McGeough + cash for him.

[Nevi_SOL]

I think Fontaine followed by gray, but this season could be about cummings, mcginn, fyvie etc, big season ahead we dont need to have the best players we need to have the best team. looking forward to a exciting season. :gwa:

[Pretty Boy]

If it was based purely on natural ability then Allan was our best player by a distance imo. Even with other factors taken into account he still was and I'm not going to say otherwise again now he's gone as some kind of revisionism. Again my opinion.

Don't agree with the Gray shout. Started last season well and at the half way point was close to being my player of the season but struggled after his injuries and never really recaptured hisearly form.

Malonga is massivelt underrated by some and it's too early to judge most of the new boys. Personally I have high hopes for Cummings. Knows where the goal is, looks to have improved over the summer, has that wee bit swagger you need and is still young enough to learn and improve.

[Diclonius]

Our best player this season will be McGeouch or Fyvie.

[sambajustice]

I said in a thread some time ago (last season) McGeough was more important to Hibs than Allan.

A lot of non Hibs supporting mates also agreed with that opinion.

To be fair, I don't think Gray had much time to recapture any kind of form after he got injured. We were struggling for cover at right back and it seemed we had to rush him back into the team. We missed him a lot I think. Dom is very good, especially at holding up the ball. He's strong and has a great first touch. I was actually very impressed with Fyvie last season, particularly towards the end of the season. And I think McGinn will be a great player for us this season.

I'm hoping we get a couple of defenders in then I think we'll have a strong team once everyone is fit - looking forward to seeing Carmichael and Boyle on the wings!

[07BigD]

Cummings for me, he knows where the goal is and he is nowhere near the finished article, plus he is mental

Allan was head and shoulders above everybody in the league not just Hibs

However he is now history

I reckon it will be a close run thing now between McGeoch, McGinn, Fyvie, Fontaine and Henderson

[HibbyAndy]

Fyvie is our best player.

[Brightside]

Fyvie is our best player.

Paul Hanlon

[stoneyburn hibs]

Fyvie is our best player.

I agree Andy.

[overdrive]

Fyvie is our best player.

Not for me. I don't get the love in with Fyvie. Too slow and ponderous. Malonga or Cummings on their day out of the current squad. McGeough if he signs.

[ScottM1875]

Mcginn is our best player and has a huge future ahead of him.

[MWHIBBIES]

I reckon it will be a close run thing now between McGeoch, McGinn, Fyvie, Fontaine and HendersonHe really wasn't. Gave the ball away far too often, rarely tracked back and couldn't take a corner to save himself. I loved watching him (when he was on form) and would have loved for him to stay and commit to Hibs but he was seriously overrated last season. People just blatantly ignored his bad performances and often the good ones of those around him helping to make him look so good. He wouldn't have looked half as good without Robertson, Fyvie and McGeouch doing the running and defensive work.

2 goals is also a woeful return for an attacking midfielder who is ''head and shoulders above everybody in the league''

[heretoday]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that our best player is yet to show his talent whoever he may be. Until then I'll say David Gray.

[Jim44]

After Allan, I would have said Fontaine, but his performances so far this season put a question mark on that.:confused:

[sixtwo]

Allan was very good. I enjoyed watching him. I do think Fontaine has been solid and Gray has been very good also. Personally, I think mcgeogh could be superb for us this season. I am excited about Henderson. If we can get him playing to his potential he will be quality. I think that boy has the potential to play at a very vary high level.

So the rest of Scottish football was wrong-good for you.Isn't having different roles what teamwork is about.I agree that some of the praise for him on here was over the top but he won a lot of games for us with dominant performances.

[dmc1875]

Allan was our best player. I don't think there is any doubt about that.

Now im not so sure. Gray and Fontaine have started the season poorly. I think McGinn is a cracking player.

last season though mcgeouch ran allan close so if we get him back Id say he would be the stand out

If Allan was half as good as some on here made out he'd have been going back to England for a little more than 275k.

Ok ....

[Nameless]

Based on last season, I would say our current "best player" is a toss up between Gray and Cummings. On potential importance, I think this seasons best player will be between Cummings, Malonga and Keating. If one of those 3 manage a 30 goal season, we are going up.

[madhatter]

I couldn't care. I want a Championship winning team. Scott Allan is gone now so I hope we see players have more belief in their own ability. Fyvie for one hasn't looked as good this season yet and the instruction seems to have been "get it to Allan" which teams could read.

We need all players to pick up their game. We should be romping this league. Rangers look half-decent but pace and trickery upfront and their defence will be shown for what it is - mince.

[Scooter]

For me there is a few bit I think Fyvie cpuld be out beat player

[calumhibee1]

Exactly. People saying anyone was even close to him are kidding themselves on. However, he's gone, so onwards and upwards.

[Hannah_hfc]

Fyvie is our best player.
Agreed.

Think he's still to hit it off with most the support so hoping he can step up with SA away.

I don't think we have a stand out best player, and I prefer it that way. It's much harder for opponents to stop us playing if they have to focus their attention on numerous attacking players.

If we add McGeouch we'll have a good few midfielders and attackers more than capable of causing teams problems.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Allan was our most talented player by an utter distance. Glad he's gone though now under the circumstances and fully expect Fyvie and McGinn to step up now. Saying Allan wasn't head and shoulders above everybody else last season is silly though

[KWJ]

On the back of today's game - Jason Cummings.

I didn't say he wasn't the best player in the championship, I just said he wasn't gods gift like some on here made out.

[Unseen work]

Guys lets not turn bitter and make out Allan was poor or made mistakes all the time and he ain't that good.

He was a terrific player for us, he is gone now. Let's leave it at that.

I don't think we have a best player right now, everyone is kind of on a par performance wise. For me over the season it will be Henderson or fyvie though. Both terrific young players who should be playing a lot higher

[Velma Dinkley]

People are suggesting we have better players. Surely they're not saying it because they're bitter?
