**** Hibs U20's Win Development League - Hibs 2 v Aberdeen 0 FT ****

[Billy Whizz]

Hibs take Aberdeen on their penultimate game of the Development league campaign on Tuesday, 2pm KO at Oriam. Believe it’s the indoor park!
2 home games still to go for the young Hibes!. 3 points much needed, with Dundee breathing down our necks.
Will also be a dress rehearsal for the final v Dons, although overage players can play in the development league, but not the Youth Cup final

Dundee take on Hearts later that night, so we should know on Tuesday night what we have to do in our last game!

Last game of the Development league for Hibs, is v Motherwell
Confirned as Monday 30th, 2pm Ko at Oriam

A win for us then Hearts only need a point in Dundee for the league to be won.......sounds familiar 🤔😄

Aye, but we don’t want Dundee to win this one WH

[flash]

Hope they win the cup but not really bothered about the league as the use of over age players makes it less of an achievement.

Agreed but trophies are never really the point at that level. It’s all about developing young players for the first team. I think the experience of being able to negotiate a tight title run in can only benefit the lads in the future, whether that’s at Hibs or elsewhere in the game. And winning things is never a bad habit to get into.

Can't argue with any of that.

oh there's probably a couple of hibs fans on here that won't want hertz to win believe it or not :hilarious

Wonder if Gray and Barker will be involved?

Shame for him. I thought he was in with a chance of a start on Saturday after his goal at RC as McLaren has been pretty quiet last two games.

We need to step it up 2nd half

[grammyb111]

Lewis Allan appears to have scored a few of late - does he still have a chance at Hibs?

I have seen a bit of him (probably not as much as Billy mind) and I'd say unfortunately not. He's been through some tough injuries and has a great attitude, it's just (in my opinion) he's not going to cut it at our level.

[JimBHibees]

Great result so basically I think if Hearts get something off Dundee tonight we are champions.

https://spfl.co.uk/development-league/

[jgl07]

They asked to be excluded so they could take part in a European Development League AFAIK.

They lied. The only European Development League is the UEFA Youth League for which you need to qualify for the Champions League or be the domestic Youth Champions.

Rangers didn’t qualify on either criteria.

The Champions League groups have a ‘shadow’ Youth group and the qualifiers are joined by 32 domestic champions in a knock out competition.

[Juniper Greens]

I noticed Celtic still have a few games to play, is there any danger that if they don't fulfil these we could lose out, due to those results being removed?

[JimBHibees]

I think all their games in hand have been scheduled for the next week or two. Even if they win them all they are unable to overhaul Hibs current points. Dundee the only threat if they win their last 2 games and Hibs dont beat Motherwell.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Great to see Slivka back playing

[tartanhibee]

Believe we have only taken 2 points from the Celtc games so we should be ok

[JimBHibees]

Believe we have only taken 2 points from the Celtc games so we should be ok

Took 4 off Celtic beat them and drew with them with 10 men.

[007 Mickey Weir]

So we are on 56 pts with one game left. Dundee on 52 Pts with two games left. Can’t believe I want Hearts tonight. Although a draw is the perfect result

[PatHead]

How did Slivka play?

[The_Horde]

Mon the Dundee..

Please **** it up.

(Couldn't bring myself to cheer thaim on)

[Juniper Greens]

Took 4 off Celtic beat them and drew with them with 10 men.

And it looks like Dundee have only taken one point from them...so in theory it could be an issue?

[Deansy]

Great result - laddies are doing us proud as well as adding to the feel-good factor at ER !.

[Radium]

How did Slivka play?

I thought he played well, and fitted in with the team. Some good touches and was happy to get involved in the high press.

Hard to judge how he would get on with the first team but today will have been about fitness.

Cracking 2nd half performance from Hibs today, played at a sunny blowy Oriam Centre.
Hibs set up with a 352 formation in the 1st half, with Ben Stirling playing middle of a 3, and Slivka playing right of Scott Martin Both sides had a couple of chances in the 1st half, best Hibs one fell to Fraser Murray, which went just past the post. Dabrowski has an excellent save just before that
Oli Shaw went down with no one near him. He was taken off immediately, and replaced with Adam Watson. Not sure what exactly his injury is, but Hibs weren’t taking any chance. We need him at 1st team level, never mind the Development team

At half time the coaches changed it, which effectively changed the game. Went to a 442, with Stirling in midfield, Slivka supporting Allan, and Watson and Fraser Murray playing wide.
Hibs absolutely dominated the 2nd half.
Both goals were well taken. The 1st was when Slivka wins the ball in the air, passes to Adam Watson, takes on the full back, crosses over, and Fraser Murray scores at far post
2nd I’m trying to remember the build up (really need Old Jonnyboy to be doing these😄), but ball was played into Allan around the penalty spot, he turned, took a wee deflection and went in
Lewis should have also scored at 1-0, through on goal, one on one, but the goalie took it off him.

Hibs hardly troubled in the 2nd half, don’t think Dabrowski had a save to make
Looking forward to next week Cup final. Hibs will be without Slivka, Nartin and Crane from today’s starting 11, but praying Shaw and Hammer will be fit for next week

Aberdeen are a big physical side at this level. This is pretty much their cup final team, apart from Cosgrove. He’s the one that got sent off for blootering Scott Brown at Pittodrie few weeks ago, and got a straight red

Good little crowd at the game as well.
Also an SFA coaching convention are Oriam as week. Larsson, Dalglish and McLeish were all around. Peter Houston and Gary Naismith watching too. Wonder if Houston was watching Shaw and Porteous, see if they are ready for the 21’s


Development league table hasn’t been updated, but as it stands we’re 4 points ahead with one league game to go
Dundee play Hearts at 6pm tonight, they need to win to close the gap, to 1 point. If they were to draw, the league would effectively to ours, as our goal difference is 14 better than Dundee

Last 20’s League game of the season is home to Motherwell any oriam, Monday 30th April, 2pm ko believe

[Wheat Hound]

Good report Bill. Difficult conditions but we were well worth the win after the 2nd half performance.

Ben Stirling going into midfield was excellent and Scotty Martin just a terrier in midfield, even after his early booking!

Have you heard if Gullan likely to be back for the final? If so, and assuming Oli recovers, I'd imagine we'd start the same as the semi with Gullan in for Ryan Shanley.

Agree I’ve been watching a few of the lads games and Ben Stirling seems to get better each week.
Really composed on the ball and can’t half pick out a pass.
Scott Martin deservedly booked but had a great game as well.

It's difficult to think of a more positive time to be a Hibee in a long time. Scottish Cup in the bag, record attendances, a top Board of Directors, a top Manager, a brilliant 1st team who have a decent chance of 2nd, and now we've won the under 20s league. And looks like even better times ahead.

Danny Wilson - Now plays for Colorado Rapids. Made 108 senior appearances for Rangers over 2 spells.
Gregg Wylde - Now plays for Plymouth. Made 47 senior appearances for Rangers.
Kyle Hutton - Now plays for Dumbarton. Made 70 senior appearances for Rangers.
Stephen Stirling - Last played for Stenhousemuir. Never played a senior game for Rangers.
Jamie Ness - Now plays for Plymouth. Made 18 senior appearances for Rangers.
Kal Naismith - Now plays for Portsmouth. Made 21 senior appearances for Rangers.
Archie Campbell - Now plays for Dundonald Bluebell. Never played a senior game for Rangers.
Kane Hemmings - Now plays for Oxford. Made 10 senior appearances for Rangers.

A few of the Rangers players went on to have decent, if not spectacular, careers.

However it is really just Booth and Wotherspoon from the Hibs team who have really done anything of note at senior level.

That’s great research, well done

Gregg Wylde is on loan at Morecambe at the minute, gave him some stick when he played against Cheltenham a week past Saturday, he didnae like it, in saying that any ex hun or jambo playing down south against Cheltenham gets it , Andy Kirk got the most, but he took it as banter and gave it back as well

Yeah I saw that, I just decided to post the permanent club all the players were with.

[blackpoolhibs]

Billy, you see a lot of this development team, how many of this lot can you see making a good impression in our first team?

I remember Eddie May getting some stick a while ago for his recruitment and the way he was running things, and to be perfectly honest, i have no idea if he's even still at the club.

For me, its all about the first team, and i don't really take any notice of the development side other than the results, although nobody likes a homegrown player more than me.

There is something special about someone who's come through the ranks to become a 1st team regular.

Its clear we must be doing something right this season, i suppose its crucial in the progress of our club to bring through players.

Are the sides below the development team stronger than in the past, have things improved since Eddie May said these things a few years back?

[SirDavidsNapper]

Quite poor that there's nothing on the official site about this unless i'm missing something

[Mikey]

You might be missing the fact that it's only 12 hours since they won the league and none of that time has been in office hours :wink:

George Craig has said that he expects Porteous, Shaw and Murray to become first team players. There are younger guys he has hopes for too but he doesn't name names as they're just coming up to the U20's group.

You forgot one of the most important players who was sitting on the rangers bench & didn't even get game time. Dylan McG.

It’s on Hibs Official Twitter though. I presume someone can do this on their phone, where as the official website has to be done from ER?

Top work...I would award you the title of Snorkel jacket for that..definately a step up from Anorak !

[Billy Whizz]

One thing you have to remember now, rathe than in 2009, is that the clubs are deducted to bringing through their own players. Amount of money spent on academies verses 2009 is incredible.

I’d expect a lot more of this young squad to make a living in the game, than the 2009 squad, as more of them will get opportunities.

The gap is getting bigger between Scotland and England as an example. We just can’t compete with wages, TV revenue etc. So we need to develop, play and sell on.
It’s our business model

[gjb1875]

Fine achievement, have enjoyed watching the U20 games over last couple of seasons, will be at Hampden next week hoping for a repeat of the double we did in 2009 (I think).
What time is the kick off next week hoping to get along

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Cracking effort by the young lads!

[Vini1875]

Well done the U20s hopefully more to come from them.

[Sir David Gray]

Apologies I only included the starting XI from both teams as it was getting late.

[Sir David Gray]

They have updated the website plenty of times straight after midweek matches for the senior team.

[Ronniekirk]

Hibs take Aberdeen on their penultimate game of the Development league campaign on Tuesday, 2pm KO at Oriam. Believe it’s the indoor park!
2 home games still to go for the young Hibes!. 3 points much needed, with Dundee breathing down our necks.
Will also be a dress rehearsal for the final v Dons, although overage players can play in the development league, but not the Youth Cup final

Dundee take on Hearts later that night, so we should know on Tuesday night what we have to do in our last game!

Last game of the Development league for Hibs, is v Motherwell
Confirned as Monday 30th, 2pm Ko at Oriam

Maybe there was a choice between champagne or updating the website. :greengrin

Fantastic Bert and the young guns :aok:

[Billy Whizz]

Strange angle, but with the 1st goal you can see how blustery it was

Certainly wasn't a pop at you, fantastic research

indeed, but you can also see the quality of the second goal and the build up to it, similar to the team goal they produced against hearts

No offence taken.

I might have a look at the subs a bit later. McGeouch's certainly done not too badly for himself!
