Win the next 2 games then get him operated on with McGeouch coming in. If we stop this 3-5-2 we shouldn't be so reliant on him anyway

If McGeough is genuinely 100% fit again then get him operated on soon. Not been great recently so do it while he's out of form a bit and we have McGeough available.

Nor mine. Imho SJM has been immense in the middle of the park, breaking up play of the opposition and bringing our players in to the game. Now that he is not shy about having a pop at goal he also makes space for others as defenders try to close him down. It is ridiculous to suggest he is anonymous and that anyone could form that opinion beggars belief. SJM is right up there with some of the best players we have had at ER in my 50+ years as a supporter.

Enough said

Since we went to 3-5-2 he has been much better. He is playing through pain due to ankle and knee injuries. Refused an operation until we had decent cover. Should be applauded rather than slated for a couple of average performances. He was the best player on the park last week.

Win the next 2 games and get the op pencilled in for the week after. Back for late January

Also allows his body to recover as he's played a helluva lot of football over the last 2 years with barely any time off. He'll come back in for the run in and be refreshed and raring to go

This 1000%.

He's been such an important player for us the last couple of years I think we forget sometimes how lucky we are to have him

He's playing in the Scottish Championship and selected for Scotland squads! His form has dipped slightly this season and the tail end of last but he's a young guy carrying what sounds like a fairly heavy injury.

He'll go far in the game and needs to be backed from the stands and on the pitch (without Dylan I feel too much is asked of him)

I wouldn't be so sure, I reckon promotion would see another season out of him. He's a level headed laddie and we already turned down a big offer for JC. I do however think as a business no promotion would see us HAVING to sell whether he wanted to leave or not.

This is a blow ,8 weeks out and ,at least three or four games playing to get match fit Dylan hasnt managed 8 games in a row so whenever S J M gpes in it s a risk ,given united have closed the gap on us
Think the Transfer window is now pivotol for us
Those that think united have settled for second spot are mistaken If they are right there with us in January i think they will strenthen with a view to trying to push on to try and win the title
We may have to do more business than was planned to keep them at bay

This. McGinn has not been prominent enough for much of this season. No shortage of effort though. Hope the surgery clears up the injury issue. As for one of the best of the past 50 years, Get a grip, decent potential but nowhere near the standard suggested, not even close.

Oh really?
Let's have it then? In more or less his position I'll suggest Pat Quinn, Jimmy O'Rourke, John O'Neill all as good or better. Then who? We've had a lot of players playing in that role but not too many more spring to mind that were better than SJM at a similar stage of their Hibs career IMHO. But then it's all about opinions.

It's hard to compare McGinn to these players because the roles and demands of similar positions have changed slightly over time.

One thing we do have right now is a special talent who will go far in the game. I remember feeling gutted after losing Scott Allan and wondering how a couple of spotty kids from St. Mirren and Celtic could ever make up for it.

The biggest compliment that I can pay him is the observation that he doesn't look out of place in a Scotland shirt. I hope Liam is looking on at John's progress and thinking about his development...

With Marv and Martin (who I rate highly) on the bench and our two perennial injuries players mcgeouch and handling looking like they may be coming back, I don't have any worries about cover - best to get the op now and look after his long term health.

TBf, you initially said one of the best players. You've added the qualifer of this stage of their career and role.

Comparing directly is hard because the game has changed so much and formations and roles have shifted with it. If we were just comparing midfielders of the past 50 years, then all of Turnbulls midfielders, the likes of Cormack, Rice, Mc Ginlay, Collins, MacNamara, Sauzee, Latapy, O'Neill, Brown, Thomson, Beuzellin.

Like Mc Ginn a lot and sincerely hope the way the injury is being managed is not detrimental to him. He is a lynchpin in this team and with McGeouch being so unreliable due to his own injury issues, I would say he is a big factor in whether we achieve promotion this season. Then we can see how good McGinn is when playing against the standard of player that the aforementioned competed with every week.

southsider

SJM is not a fancy dan player like Cormack or Latapy but glides rather than runs over the pitch. Very much (and I can give him no higher praise) like the young PS.

Great player and huge presence in the middle of the park. He misplaces a couple of passes in a game now though and folk are trying to say he's had a poor game because of it!

I don't know if people's expectations are way too high but it's unfair on him to be receiving criticism- especially when he's playing through injury in a very combative style. We'll notice when he's not playing, put it that way.

Spot on. McGinn drives in at every opportunity and looks for the defence splitting pass, of course it will not always come off but when it does we are in. He could take the Marvin Bartley approach and refuse to step up with ball then pass backwards but where would that get us?

Biggest worry for me with Mcginn is with this type of injury, if he keeps on playing then other injuries start to appear as he is trying to save further damage to it!
Over the years plenty of players have tried to play through injuries and end up finishing their career early as a result!
Let the guy get his treatment and come back near the end of the season when he should be refreshed and ready to take us up!!!!

On Sportsound today the muppets were wondering how McGinn had scored. According to them, he was out injured for two months and wasn't playing, until Tam McManus, I think, put them straight. Another annoying thing was, when discussing Strachan's situation, they focussed on his failures, bad decisions and his decision to continue in the job, and the only player mentioned was McGinn, as if his selection had been a major Strachan mistake.

MOM by a country mile today. Shinnie was good but only thrived because of the stranglehold Fyvie and McGinn had on the game. We didn't half drop a few notches when these two went off.

Huge loss. Chance for McGeouch but while he's good, he's not near McGinn's class. Can he stay fit for 12 weeks as well? Fyvie will probably miss Tannadice too, so we're up against it unless someone like Scott Martin can step up.

Can't agree with that at all. If anything I would say a 100 percent McGeouch is better.

This should not be about comparing our players, it's a squad game and injuries are a part of football.

Whilst McGinn, Fyvie and Shinnie have been starting recently, I will have no fears for a Bartley, McGeoch and Shinnie midfield with Allan in reserve.

It does, however leave us a bit light in midfield cover.

I don't know what a 100% McGeouch is like any more, we've not seen it for a while.

He is still pretty handy at 70% fit, or whatever it is that he is.

I'm happy to see McGinn having the surgery and also a rest. He's a cracking player but it is risky playing with injury.

I think we'll be better for this long-term.

Ouch hopefully goes well and back earlier. Opportunity for others certainly not the time for Fyvie to be injured also. Bartley, Dylan and young Martin are all decent options

Hibs1969
24-11-2016, 07:59 AM
McGinn's performances for the first 6 months of last season were outstanding. He hasn't hit those heights so far this season but will hopefully do so after his op. I met McGeouch at the U-20s game recently and he said he was fully fit but just couldn't get back into the starting 11. I just hope Fyvie isn't too badly injured we can't afford to lose both.

GreenCastle
24-11-2016, 10:27 AM
Not ideal - he's played a lot of football with not much rest.

He will be a loss as definitely adds quality to our team and while he doesn't score loads he is a player who makes things happen.

It will give others a chance to stake a claim and Dylan is a quality player.

If all 3 are injured we are going to make sure others step up. We have some very important games coming up and hopefully McGinn comes back fresh in 2017.

Worry a bit about McGeough, Fyvie and Bartlet as a midfield three. Not bad if looking to avoid defeat, but prone to all playing on top of each other.

If Fyvie was out and we had to play Martin for instance, wouldn't necessarily hinder us in some ways.

We'll still be top whatever happens mind, barring a total thumping, but a good steady draw would do fine if we're short on the right players.

I know I'm in minority but still feel Sam Stanton could do a job for us. Not sure how he is doing at Dumbarton but I wouldn't be upset to see him back. Of the three ALex Harris, Danny Handling or Sammy, I thought he had the most potential.

Look on the bright side at least no-one will bid for him come January. If Celtic sign this Darlington fella that's Henderson further down the pecking order. Our gates are up by around 4,000 from last season. Now is the time to push on and get Hendo back.

McGeoch hasn't had a long enough run in the team to decide if he's better than McGinn or not. I hope he can keep fit until the January transfer window or we have real problems.

As an aside, McGinn, Boyle and Stanton were at Celtc v Barca last night.

However we deal with SJM's injury period I hope that the rumours of JP remain only that. He was in Singapore playing in the S league this year, from Jan to Oct, being paid way over the odds for the league at about £2.5k a week. His arrival created some interest with 2k fans turning up to his early games but that soon dwindled to nothing again. He was a waste of space in Singapore's S league which I find hard to place in rank along side any of our Scottish leagues. He was offered a new contract at reduced terms but knocked it back. I can only Guess at his salary expectations but I've seen his quality and it's absolutely no use for us.

However you look at it, this is not good news coming as it does on top of losing James Keatings to long term injury. Just hope that Fraser Fyvie is going to be fit to play at DU, and Dylan McGeouch can stay fully fit...

Injuries to key players can wreck a club's season. Hopefully it won't come to that, but this is just one of the reasons why it was daft to talk about "skooshing" the league (any league) practically before it had started. It's called tempting fate.

Hope John McGinn is fit to play again real soon.

Hope I am wrong but we are going to miss him big time.

All his critics on here might be able to say 'I told you so' if we are 10 points clear by the middle of January but I somehow am not that confident.

Get well soon John,make sure you are 100% when you come back, and hopefully help us regain any lost ground.

Fyvie and McGinn are fundamental to our team.

You know what, this is where we're tested as a club & as to how our squad copes. Lets be honest, we have guys on the bench most wèeks who would be automatic picks for every other team in our league. Boyle has proved that. Lets take the worst case scenario & we're missing SJM, FF & Keats against Dun U. That means with our usual back 5 we can still play Dylan, Shinnnie & Marv in midfield & JC is stil on the bench! We have a great squad, time for them to step up.

No critics on SJm on here pal, although some folk do think he's still a work in progress. 10 ahead after the next 7 games, possible but not very likely. We'd have to win most/all and Utd would need to lose /draw at least 3.

Agree with the last sentiment, but we should have enough to cope so no lost ground scenario to worry about.

Lennon saying the physio team are working hard to get Fyvie fit for, eh, the game.

Maybe doesnt want United to know he is out prior to the game.

There was never a good time to lose SJM so getting his operation sooner rather than later is probably a good move ... if what we have seen of him in the last couple of months is him playing in pain we are going to get some player back when he is fit. He has played so much football over the last two seasons the enforced rest probably wont do him any harm either.

The Fyvie situation is a bit of a worry .. it looked to me like he was in agony when he went down in the QOTS game and with Lennon saying there is swelling around the injury I'm not convinced this injury isn't going to be more long term than NL is making out. To be honest after Kitty McKinnon left the club I thought our problem with groin injuries would have cleared up :greengrin

I haven't seen much of Scott Martin, but he certainly looked decent against Birmingham City and he gets good reports from the people who have seen more of him perhaps this is the door opening for him, he wouldn't be the first player to have his career kick started through injuries to other players.

Scott Martin started 1st game away against Falkirk & other than the Turriff game he hasn't been seen since. At best he'll be on bench for United game. You can pretty much guarantee that if FF is out our mid 3 will be Bartley, Shinnie & McGeouch.
