He must be at the stage where he doesnt have confidence so any wee tweak he feels is preventing him playing so hard to see him getting match fit without breaking down again
If he is to get another op at end of Season then we just need to see how that goes and if it helps So frustrating for him and the Club

Why wait until the end of the season?

Whether the reason is physical or psychological he's clearly not fit to play and is unlikely to make any meaningful contribution any time soon.

We should get it done asap and start his rehabilitation now.

I love McGeouch and think he's a great player. But there is no point in us counting on him, thinking he's going to make a contribution for us at some point when he is not. We'd be better being prepared to play without him.

Should we not get behind him by putting our faith in him by getting surgery done now and giving him the best chance of being fit to play for us in future?

Hanging on to have surgery at the end of the season doesn't give him much of a vote of confidence.

Dylan is a very talented player and yes he has had his injuries to contend with but before anyone goes spouting off about getting rid, then cast your mind back a bit through your Hibs history and you may see that we have not been great at looking after some players who we have cast aside too quickly for lack of wishing to pay for required surgery or not being prepared to pay them the basic salary until the get back to full fitness.
I like most hope that Dylan can have an injury free period so that he can balance our side out better than we have at present if the medical people say this will not happen then that will be a decision for the manager.

Na not a chance, certainly not this year. He's not played anywhere near enough.

Even if you look at last season, with the obvious exception of the cup final, there were some high profile games that he managed to start before walking off after 20 minutes.

Brilliant player but we can't continue to carry someone on the basis of what the can do 'if' fit.

I would punt him unless he somehow manages to string together a run of games this season. Hibernian cup winning legend but no use to us if he can't play more than a handful of games a season.

Dylan has a contract until end of May 2018 so even if we wanted to punt him, which I don't, the decision to do so is not within Hibs power. With Dylan's injury history, it's unlikely that any other club would sign him so let's not undermine his confidence anymore than it currently will be and support his efforts to regain full fitness.

This. He's got a year left, getting rid of him now makes absolutely no sense.

If he can't keep fit next season then fair enough but I think people forget how much of a fantastic footballer he is. It would be a disgrace not to at least give him the opportunity to keep fit next season

He does seem very injury prone. It's not like he is being injured from getting kicked by the opposition.
If there's an unwritten "played/injured" ratio he surely must be well below the plimsoll line.
He's one of my favourite players but alas, I doot it's getting near time .....

Agree with you. Here's hoping he can get fully fit after his next op. Big player for us when fit.

I do think Dylan needs to win a psychological battle as well as the physical to be able to sustain a prolonged run in the team.

I really hope that happens.

Billychaotic182
01-03-2017, 10:42 AM
This feels very much like when we had Zemamma. Clearly a talented footballer but is rarely ever 100%. So do we keep him as we know he is a fantastic player for us (and a Scottish cup winner) or do we get rid and free up some wages. Personally I'd keep him. If we do get promoted he is the type of player we need in our squad. Can only hope this next operation cures his injury problems.

If im wrong, I'll apologise and eat humble pie - personally, I think it's a very easy option to stay on the sidelines. I'd sell or get rid if he doesn't get it sorted. Fantastic player, injuries previously I feel are always in his head.

The longer he is out the better player he seems to become if I was to believe what I read on here. He's a neat and tidy player who retains possession well, no more than that in my opinion. He rarely creates chances and never looks like scoring. I've never seen him take control of a game and single handedly influence the result.

This season he's hardly featured and in quite a few games he has played has been dreadful.

Excellent player........when fit (which is very rarely).

His nickname is "The Tampon"........in for one week then out for three.

James McPake, Tim Clancy, Sean Welsh, Farid El Alagui.

It would be annoying if Dylan left then magically recovered the ability to play in and influence 30 odd games a season.

I still think he's our best player so his injury is a huge loss.

Your opinion, he is a very good player when fit, but there does come a time when you need to weigh up the benefits he brings against the wages he's on.

Although even if you are in the get rid camp, he needs to want to leave and someone to want him.

Who wants a player who never plays?

But BH he has another year left after this season. If the medical team can get him fit he'd be like a new signing. He has played a fair number of games for us already not as few as some people think. Let's move forward with positivity

He's under contract until next year and has football related injuries so we should stick by him for the rest of his contract. If he doesn't play enough next year then it's a different story.

Have you ever played football for a team? If you have, you'll realise how incredibly frustrating it is to be injured and miss a game/games. That's when you're just playing amateur level. Can't even begin to imagine how frustrating it is when it's your bloody career. If you've ever suffered from a groin injury you'll know it's one of the trickiest injuries to 'fix' as well. Be better off with a broken leg than some groin injuries. Really poor comment towards a Scottish cup winner.

It is Conner but we need to persevere (see what I did there?), but seriously this was never going to be easy. Teams are out to frustrate us and beat us, we're the big scalp. We're not a soft touch per say, problem is we just want to play football and teams know that and want to stop us. When we aren't trying to play football then we're a bit lost but we're strong enough, both physically and mentally to do this. Maybe not every week, which is unfortunate but I think it's a side effect of the expectation both the fans put on the players but also they put in themselves.

Don't play in to their hands, stick behind the team and enjoy the good times. We've had a bad run but we're still top, we're still in the cup and we are still the reigning Scottish Cup holders. If you were offered this at the start of the season you'd have snatched that person's hand off. Yup this spell is frustrating, but it's a marathon not a, sprint and currently we're out front. If we lose to UTD then it's time to worry.

When we aren't trying to play football then we're a bit lost but we're strong enough, both physically and mentally to do this. Maybe not every week, which is unfortunate but I think it's a side effect of the expectation both the fans put on the players but also they put in themselves.

Don't play in to their hands, stick behind the team and enjoy the good times. We've had a bad run but we're still top, we're still in the cup and we are still the reigning Scottish Cup holders. If you were offered this at the start of the season you'd have snatched that person's hand off. Yup this spell is frustrating, but it's a marathon not a, sprint and currently we're out front. If we lose to UTD then it's time to worry.

Still sounds good. Yes i would've taken that at the start of the season. Knocking them out the cup again was funny as f##k, so the poor results recently can be forgiven.:thumbsup:

It's a real shame. What's the longest run he's had in the team?

Hopefully when he does get back in he stays fit until the end of the season.
