IMO he brings goals however this will not be proved right or wrong until a lot of games have been played.

Aye ok then.....

[MWHIBBIES]

Well he has 3 goals in 4 games, doesn't take a genius to work out what he brings. The whole team were rotten, at least he scored his chance. If Murray does the same we are 2-0 at half time.

If the defence had stood up strong today, you'd be giving him a well done for the goal. He's similar to Cummings, he brings goals if little else.

[Smartie]

I thought he was the biggest disappointment of them all today.

Stokes took some undeserved flak the last time he was with us for his work rate - he wasn't fit when he arrived but very soon he was one of our most hardworking players.

He didn't fancy it today. His body language was all wrong.

I wouldn't have wanted to have faced Neil Lennon after the game if I were in his shoes.

Still, he got a goal, and there's no doubt he's a superb player.

And for all I think he was probably our poorest player, he wasn't that much worse than the rest of them.

[heretoday]

It was like the old days when people used to shout at Stokes. If he doesn't get a wake-up call it'll start happening again.

[rcarter1]

The way I see it, Stokes can on his day be one of the best players in the league (including Celtic). When and how he brings that to the table is beyond my ken, but he isnt ever going to be Mr Consistent. Thats just Stokes. I trust Lennon can make the call as to when and how he plays. When he has it, he wins Cups.. Delighted he is with us.

[Haymaker]

Scottish cups.

[Andy74]

Plays a bit deep. We've had recent joy from stretching the game and getting it into Murray from wide positions.

Certainly today Stokes and Swanson coming deep and central limited us a bit in attack.

Would much prefer seeing him stay up the pitch.

[Jones28]

He plays too deep for one thing. If he isn't getting service he drifts wide and he's a centre forward not a winger. Lennon should be putting cones out at training this week the width of the penalty box and if he strays from them he receives a kick in the stones.

He isn't messi, he doesn't have the pace to take people on but if he gets the ball to feet in the box he can make things happen.

[The_Horde]

Should've been hooked instead of Swanson for Dave much earlier in the half.

[matty_f]

Scottish cups.

:thumbsup:

[neil7908]

I wasnt too impressed with him but I think we have to remember how little football he's played in the last year or so. Plus the fact he hasn't had a real pre season.

That's not excuse but no question in my mind that he'll get better.

[Borderhibbie76]

Some.of the posts on here 2nite are just a bit laughable...i can't work out if it's hysteria from Hibs fans at a setback or undercover Yams

So a goal in two games and hes already admitted he's gaining match fitness....So what he will bring is goals, like one today...

[wookie70]

I wasn't overly fussed with him signing but he has started better than I thought he would. Generally speaking I'm not keen on players who are on the way down from the height of their careers. It can certainly work but often they end up looking like a shadow of their former selves particularly in the less important games. He looked completely disinterested today but he wasn't the only one. Even the Duracell bunny that is Simon Murray didn't put his usual shift in. Time will tell if Stokes will be a good signing and I hope I am completely wrong and we get Cup Final Stokesy more than today's version.

[Diclonius]

Four games.

[IberianHibernian]

Think he`s still a bit off full fitness but even so he got goal a couple of minutes after forcing a good save by their goalie. Most times he touched the ball something happened . Hopefully he`ll make more impact in the future , perhaps playing up front with another striker yet to be signed .

LoL last season all that mattered was Jasons goals, now Stomes scores but be brings nothing :greengrin Stokes is a very good player wbo is short on game time and got no support from anyone in green today. Everyone was poor no point in singling out any player. Just unacceptable all round.

[Thecat23]

You are a Jambo. The guys only played couple of games ffs. Who about the through ball other week for Murray? Split whole defence. Anyway no idea why I'm even explaining this to a Hearts fan.

Bit unfair to call the guy a Jambo ? He's giving his opinion.

[Vini1875]

Stokes will bring a lot more than goals IMHO and he will help Murray. I think there is the beginning of a good partnership there. A lot of knee jerk stuff going on tonight just as we got carried away after beating the huns. We will have days like today and we will have days like last week. With Stokes in the team we are more likely to have more good days than bad.

[Thecat23]

[TelaStella]

Big let down for me today, just looked too lazy and as if he was carrying a sore one from last night. How f****** deep was he wondering into our half as well? Never where he should have been and left Murray struggling on his own upfront. I am however a big stokes fan and have no doubt his time will come this season, not good enough today though.

Stokes just needs game time. He was back to his best before he went to Blackburn then he Sat on the bench for a season. He's an outstanding talent. Our worry shouldn't be stokes it should be that bang average back four.

I'm convinced the OP is a wind up but please don't try and shift some blame for Simon Murrays performance onto Stokes' shoulders. Murray was inefective, just as he was against Ross County and you can't really blame anyone else for that (except for our manager, who might bite the bullet and play someone else depending on the opposition).

All this wandering is actually the sign of an intelligent, proactive player. Yesterday he was looking for solutions and trying to get things going because it wasn't working and nobody else was doing it...even those who play crap and don't do their jobs properly yet have no aspersions cast upon them.

Certainly not a Jambo. Stokes need to remember he's not going to be playing in Scottish cup finals against rangers every week. His overall play since coming back has been poor. Had a decent game against a league 1 side. Was rubbish last week at Ibrox and should've seen red at least once. Yesterday he simply didn't fancy it.

If he is going to be a success this time round he needs to realise he's being paid a lot of cash to be our main man. Less of the billy big time attitude and knuckle down and do the dirty stuff when it's not going our way. Simple as that. If he doesn't he's as well sitting in the house imo.

Murray was ineffective because we didn't stretch the game or get it wide. Stokes playing too deep played a role in that being the case.

It wasn't just a case of trying to make something happen. It's just how he plays now.

Whether that's going to help or hinder the way we play in the long run remains to be seen.

Honestly it is mate your bang on. Nothing at all wrong with picking things from games but look at some comments. He's *****, and he's *****. Sorry but away to **** if you are coming out with that you are no Hibs fan and are clearly on the wind up. We all lose it now and then but not like what I'm reading this morning or last night.

Hibs do have a very good side the players didn't perform which happens and will it happen again? Yes prob will. It's about how we go about the next games. Lennon has built a good side well worthy of doing well so some on here need to stop slapping the **** out the panic button after one loss.

You can, its the manner in how it's done. Loads of folk have pointed out a lot of good points that have been discussed. You think coming on telling everyman and their dog that Stokes is ***** aye? Pretty sure he's not ***** along with big Daz, Hanlon etc. Have a wee look at these posters again.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Folk imo are looking for a "I told you so" in reference to his performances last time round.

Stokesy is an excellent player that hasn't pled a lot of games in the last year. To expect him to just turn up and score a hat trick every game is fantasy. When it's not going well, he's a player that can look disinterested but that's the gamble you take with him. If he was top of his game every week, he'd have cut it down south.

We need to take the rough with the smooth but imo he'll be the top striker we want him to be.

A loss tends to bring out the utmost negativity. Chill, it's one bad game. We've got Dundee and an international break coming up. Good timing to get fitness and sharpness back. Sept will be a good month for him

It's hard not to like any of the players that played in the famous Scottish cup win and although I can appreciate that stokes is a good player, I dislike him as a person.

He fitted in at Celtic due to his and his families allegiance to the IRA but I'd rather that was well away from Hibs.

He was also at whynot in George Street until 5am this morning. It doesn't sit right with me that a player could go out on a night after a really poor defeat. Plus if he was drinking until 5am, no one can
Seriously believe he'll be 100% at training on Monday.

It's not a new thing, his last spell at Hibs he was wonderful in the final but barely tried a leg in the other games.

He can be a good player on his day but he's not worth the baggage imo...wish we went for stevie may.

[Up The Bracket]

Good god,

I've read some crazy posts on here in the past few days but this tops the lot,

Stokes spent the whole game yesterday attempting to come deep for the ball because he was getting absolutely no service up top, the blame for that lies with the midfield and the full backs not getting the correct service up top,

Once again, as with his last spell with us, Stokes is going to turn into a scapegoat any game that he doesn't reproduce his Hampden performance,

Anthony fitted in at Celtic because he was a good striker and creator for others.
His link up play with Gary Hooper was superb.
Anthony laid on Hoopers two goals against us in the 2013 Cup Final
He played a blinder that afternoon (sadly for us)

I am confident Anthony will do well for Hibernian this season.

As for him going to the pub on a Saturday night
That is not unusual for most players who like a drink
Would you prefer he sat at home moping!


Celtic disciplined Anthony for attending a benefit event for a deceased IRA man.
Someone he grew up with in Dublin.

That's the thing though mate he never went to the pub, he was in a nightclub partying until 5am. I wouldn't have an issue with him going for a quiet drink in a pub if he wanted to go out or a restaurant. The biggest issue for me is that he is not a young man anymore and I know from experience that if he has an all night drinking session on the Saturday night that he won't be in good condition to train on the Monday.

Im not wishing to try and get folk criticism but jeez we let in 3 goals yesterday and we have a striker being criticised. As I said he or Murray could have had game of lives but we chucked 3 in.

If anyone needs to be criticised its one or several defenders. Its fine if someone does not like Stokes but bringing him into the result for me does not make sense when it was defensive howlers that cost us.

Saying Sorry just is not good enough , Do you really think you can get away with saying things like this? What are you trying to do get Anthony in more hassle with the half of Scotland that hates him with a vengeance? Also on a pure footballing note from your comments you know nothing about football. To me you are just bringing all this **** about Anthony to get people wound up against him , But I swear to you it will not work

Seriously mate calm down.

All this built up anger isn't good for your health.

If what I said was wrong...I'm sorry. I was passed on info from a mate who was out last night.

There's nothing else that can be said.

What an abomination of a thread. Last week we were the best Hibs side since the 70's, this week we're back to the old Hibs & Stokes is crap.

Some folk need to get a grip.

Yep a bipolar convention.

[G B Young]

Delighted we signed Stokes. Top striker by Scottish football standards who would walk into any other top-fight team bar Celtic.

Some daft stuff on here, mostly from desperate yams mind you.

He's done just fine so far and will only get better once up to full fitness.

Hibs are still a good team.

We will bounce back.

Oh... and Hearts are still an absolute gang so to any of them on here or looking in we are still MILES ahead on and off the park.

listen to me, you have no idea about the **** that went on over the last few years with Anthony and most of it started by Roumers , My mate said this or that , what you have to understand it some journalists are constantly spreading false information about Anthony and Lennon and by you or anyone else posting information that you do not know to be true feeds these f...kers
let this be a lesson to all hibs fans . never ever belief what you read or hear from your mate down the pub.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

I really cannot believe the pure lies and absolute ***** that has been written here today. its very clear that some on here are just Stokes haters or not hibs supporters. To the person who wrote this below , I say to you you are a LIAR, Anthony was not in any night club until 5am or anytime last night . and by the way what IRA connections has Anthony got?? feel free to mail me I would love to know where you get your information, We had enough of this with Celtic I prey to god its not all happening again with this Club. Criticize Stokes all you like for his football but to make up lies about his personal life on a public fourm is going too far and should and will be stopped.

its hard not to like any of the players that played in the famous Scottish cup win and although I can appreciate that stokes is a good player, I dislike him as a person.

He fitted in at Celtic due to his and his families allegiance to the IRA but I'd rather that was well away from Hibs.

He was also at whynot in George Street until 5am this morning. It doesn't sit right with me that a player could go out on a night after a really poor defeat. Plus if he was drinking until 5am, no one can
Seriously believe he'll be 100% at training on Monday.

It's not a new thing, his last spell at Hibs he was wonderful in the final but barely tried a leg in the other games.

He can be a good player on his day but he's not worth the baggage imo...wish we went for stevie may.

Yeah flump. I suppose schools outside Lothian have still to go back... not long to wait.

I think you may be taken a lot of this to heart. As for the papers if a story appears that Stokes could prove was false he could sue them. If Stokes wants to hit the town on a sat night doesn't bother me or prob the majority of us Hibs fans. There is more to life than footballers going on the lash. Met Stokes a couple of times through someone on here actually and I get the impression he couldn't care less what folk on a board or down a pub say about him. There will always be rumours sadly but they are just that.

[One Day Soon]

There's a touch of the "that piece of Halibut was good enough for Jehovah" about this thread.

Oh and Yammery.

[BarneyHibby]

I think some people need to chill out. We lost. But it's only one game. We'll come back stronger next week against Dundee :wink: Stokes is absolute quality player. He just needs a little more time to improve.

Apologies.

Does Stokes not have three goals in three games for us already?

Even if the guy never scored another goal for us he'll always be a hero to me for tucking the Rangers away in the Cup Final.

I love Stokesy, delighted he's back and I'm sure he'll do well for us.

[Gerard]

IMO A Stokes will score the goals we need to finish in the top four of the SPL and perhaps we a Cup. What he does in his spare time as long as it is legal is of no concern to me and I suspect the majority of the Hibs fans. :wink:

Give it a rest, you can criticise who you like, at least make it constructive. As for being a Hibby maybe you are, doesn't sound it but we are all different I suppose.

[wpj]

Can't believe no one has mentioned his warm up! How was it? He's got goals and he'll get more. Delighted he's in a Hibs shirt!

[Firestarter]

Stokesys a living legend. He could have got more money going to other clubs but nah, he chose us. To say he doesn't give a ***** is a load of crap, the effort and application is there. His footballing brain is ahead of many in the squad though. Sadly, people think he should one man team it every week.

Finally, stokes could enter Easter Road collie buckling bobby sands eating a chicken supper and he would still be an absolute hero. People having a dig and making up **** have to have a word with themselves.

Wow, 4 pages of car crash posting about Stokes.

I said my piece on another thread that the whole team were rank, I chose not to single anyone out because the 10 outfield players to a man were rotten on Saturday, Stokes is a very good player and will come good, he's miles behind the rest of the guys in terms of match fitness but once up to speed he'll score goals for us that's for sure.

[Borderhibbie76]

Honestly it is mate your bang on. Nothing at all wrong with picking things from games but look at some comments. He's *****, and he's *****. Sorry but away to **** if you are coming out with that you are no Hibs fan and are clearly on the wind up. We all lose it now and then but not like what I'm reading this morning or last night.

Hibs do have a very good side the players didn't perform which happens and will it happen again? Yes prob will. It's about how we go about the next games. Lennon has built a good side well worthy of doing well so some on here need to stop slapping the **** out the panic button after one loss.Been off here since Sat night couldn't hack it tbh
..never witnessed such an overreaction to a defeat...yes we were inept but as I've just said on another thread we ain't Celtic and ain't going to go a whole season undefeated. Some people need to check their expectations. If we get top 4 this season it would be a fantastic achievement after 3 years downstairs. And I'm pretty confident we will be there or thereabouts. But the individuals being singled out for Sat performance is wrong...the whole team to a man bar Rocky never showed up...hopefully that's the off day out the way for a wee while.

nah no agreeing with this you should be able to comment on anyone who puts on our colours we pay their wages that being said it should be on here and only on here.

This is yet another post that simply reeks of it.

The first bit in bold - that says it all.

The second bit in bold - you claim Stokes was in a night club until 5am on Sunday morning, yet Hibs players were in for training on Sunday morning as far as I'm aware (not Monday as you mention).

Can you imagine how hard a shift that would be. If I was on drinking until 5am and then was expected to turn up for work on a sunday morning, I am sure I would be claiming that I was needed at Mass and would have to be excused work.

Imagine how pissed Cole (the open goal) Stockton must have been before that showing against dunfermline. Probably got a taxi straight from George Street to the wongadome, only way to explain it.

This sounds a bit like George Best and Jean Pierre Rives in 1979. Best missed a league match against Ayr Utd the next day, I doubt Stokesy would have lasted the night back in the day. Lightweight.

:agree:

Stokes is a goalscorer, pure and simple. He's lacking a bit of match fitness but will pick that up.

Even despite not being fit, he's still putting the ball in the net.

Looking forward to him developing his understanding with Murray.

Also think we will get results from him and Big Dave. Dave looks clever and I can see him feeding Stokesie.

I think you've missed the central point of this thread, which is after a sniff of the barmaids apron Anthony loses all self control. He simply can't handle his Ale. Malary Martin, on the other hand...

I have to admit I have stayed away since the final whistle on Saturday because I had an idea this place would end up like a train wreck and boy o boy it hasn't disappointed.

So we are now crap and Stokes is a waste of a wage because he's a lazy ******* that doesn't do anything and he's a not a team and likes to be out on the piss up Embra until 5 in the moron ting on a school nite. Have I missed anything.

Dear o dear. What a lot of crap. Why make things up!

He's better than Lafferty and co!

On his game close to being one of the best players in the Scottish Premier League and let's not forget he chose us. Yes us and signed for a lot less money than he could have made elsewhere!

This place is infested!

[RossScott1991]

As others have said, i have stayed away from this place since saturday to let it all settle down. As most others see it, it was a wake up call but nothing less. Like everyone except celtic we will drop points over the course of the season. It just way it is. We will come good though.

Was astounded to see a thread about Stokes though. Unbelievable, this place was in meltdown all summer about not signing a striker etc and the guy hits 3 goals in 3 games soo far, albeit a consolation at end there and people are having a pop. He isn't even properly fully fit !

Some people won't be happy until we have guys like Rowan Vine playing upfront again!:rolleyes:

I've suggested this on another thread. I also questioned whether I needed a wee break from here as I was appalled at the garbage being posted since Saturday. Anyway, maybe it would be easier if someone just posted the current, 'cannae kick a ba', wage thieves' list so I know who in advance is being slagged off.
