Just a quick mention of the big man. While McGinn and McGeough are rightly getting the plaudits tonite Marv makes watching a derby an easier experience by helping securing us at the back. He allows players to play and if I'm being honest I quite like him keeping an eye on Effe as well

The big man was absolutely outstanding tonight, second half especially. If it wasn't for Dylan he'd have been my man of the match tonight. Absolutely key in these kind of games, take a bow big fella!

The Matty who role?

He was born to play in these games. Immense again and you can tell he loves it.

His tweet about Ross Callaghan (who was mouthing off in the press) is even better than his performance.

Has he ever been anything other than superb in a derby? Absolutely essential for these games. Anytime hearts break its always in the back of my mind no to worry, big marv will get them.

A part of me is sad to say this but the Matty Jack role may have just become the Marvin Bartley role.

The whole midfield is the difference. We have 3 excellent midfields thay donwhat they do and 2 decent wingers roing their thing. Problem is up top just now holding the ball uo a bit more (gosl aside) murray needed to retain possesion a bit more. Stokes can do it well and fromt he short time he was on big davy looks to be a good target man alrhough we do loose pace. But it all starts with with marv being like a 3rd defender

He’s superb. His distribution has improved massively too. Nowhere better to learn his position than under Lennon.

Silver medal for man of the match for me.

He clearly loves playing against them as well.

Jeez no disrespect but you type like a Jambo. Hope you've had a good night.

I’ve got to eat a huge slice of humble pie. There was a time when I was screaming for Bartley to be out the team, that he slows us down, makes us far too defensive etc etc. perhaps there was elements of truth in it playing Championship teams who just sat in, but this man is made for the Premier League!

Boy has this guy been superb this season! His ability to muscle people off the ball is frightening, and I feel he’s even improved on picking the ball up and driving it forward!

Marvin, take a bow mate!!

I never ever want to play a derby without him in our midfield again. Ever.

The man is class. I never posted it at the time but I heard him interviewed on Radio Scotland and on top of him contributing to the Greenfell disaster his girlfriend and he spent some of Xmas day helping in a soup kitchen. Hibs class.

For me he is the best defensive midfielder in the league. No one does a better job than him at the role he plays. The yams must be sick of the sight of him

Marv passed the ball well tonight, usually it's the physical side to his game we all root for but tonight he looked like more of a rounded midfielder. Took the ball in the middle of the park and moved it on very well. In the past he wasn't utilised as such but done it brilliantly tonight

I think Marv generally moves the ball on quite well, He isnt going to do what the likes of SJM or Dylan do, its not his role, his job is destructive, to win the ball back and simply find another Green shirt. I think he does that pretty well virtually every game. Most top sides I would say have a similar player in their side.

The middle 3 were top class tonight tbh. Vicky doesnt get in the team until one of them leave or one is injured. Lets not try and shoe horn him into left wing.

One of his best performances tonight, not that he's ever even put a foot wrong. We'd been crying out for someone like him for years and the difference he makes is incredible, love the big man.

Bartley and winning derbies go hand in hand.
Fantastic player and fighter for our cause.

Marv is the Derby king. And agree that was his most complete performance for Hibs. Unplayable if he gets going.

Rate him highly but the first name on the team sheet? No chance.

NL first three picks are McGinn, McGeouch and Hanlon.

The Big Man is a class act. One of our best signings over the past few years, top man.

Marv gives Dylan and Super John the opportunity and freedom to go forward and weave their magic and express themselves. He adds extra security just in front of the back four which Im sure the two central defenders appreciate, he also hangs back and provides cover when our fullbacks attack down the flanks (or indeed Effy goes off on one of his adventures) . He fulfills a very important role in the side very well although it might not always be the most glamorous.

Tell you what he can shift as well when needed ... his sprint into the box to tackle near the end was class

Marv personifies Hibs these days. The best player in his role I've ever seen at Hibs.

would never describe him as a destroyer, although he does break things up when reqd. more of an Enforcer:wink: love his attitude and he was great again in the Derby.

Echo a lot of others, I love big Marv and I bet his fellow midfielders do too. Scoopy knows his stuff but in games like that McGinn and McGeogh will be waiting for Marv to be first on the team list so they can get about their job, in my opinion he's first on the list for the big matches.

Anyone with any doubts (and there were a few pre match) as to Marvs value to this team, needed to watch that last night. Quite simply outstanding
