Emerson Hyndman

[RossScott1991]

What is everyone's thoughts on him so far? Maybe when we are 10 games in it will be easier to judge then. I thought he was poor yesterday, drifted out of the game didn't get on the ball enough to try make things tick. There must be a player in there as Bournemouth fans didn't want to see him leave and rangers fans seemed to rate him.

[B.H.F.C]

I remember him being decent at The Rangers so was expecting more from him.

I don’t think he looks like the type of loan signing that is desperate to be here and desperate to prove himself.

Disappointing so far.

[matty_f]

I don't think he looks up to speed yet, would think we're more likely to to get an idea of what he's capable of of he gets a run in the team.

Whether we can afford to carry performances like yesterday while he gets that is another thing. I thought the game passed him by yesterday, he didn't get nearly as involved as we needed him to get, and you'd be hard pushed to call out a telling contribution that he made.

[Godsahibby]

Looks a good player, that ball through to Boyle in the first half was one of the best passes I’ve seen in a long time. That said I don’t see how he fits into the team. Didn’t offer enough with how we were set up.

Possibly with Milligan in the team offering us the bite we need in midfield it might allow him to play more natural. Will come back to this point in a few weeks see how the midfield has settled.

[GreenOnions]

Didn't really contribute yesterday and I felt that made life more difficult for Mallan and Whittaker - particularly in the first half.

There were quite a few instances where he was not on the same wavelength as other Hibs players - which is maybe understandable. He also seemed to prefer to play it safe - most often first-timing the ball backwards to the player who's passed it to him rather than consider turning with the ball and moving forwards.

Needs to be braver in possession I feel and get more involved in the game.

I don't know whether he's potentially a better player than Slivka or not but, for that advanced position in the midfield, Vic must be wondering why Hyndman is selected in front of him. I certainly am on current evidence - although Hyndman clearly has ability or he would not be a Bournemouth player.

As it happens I reckon Lennon will eventually decide Milligan, Mallan and Horgan are his best midfield three so Hyndman's game time will be limited unless he can deliver more or there are injuries.

[Real Emerald]

Well don't play hide and seek with him as he'd win hands down. Spent the whole first half yesterday hiding and making himself unavailable for the ball. I though it was a shocking performance and not what we're used to seeing in a battling Hibs midfield. Total waste of space but having said that I don't think he's a bad player it's his attitude that's all wrong or at least it was yesterday.

[green day]

Thought he was totally pony.

Milligan looks the real deal, and hopefully that will help shore things up in midfield and give a bit more competition

[NAE NOOKIE]

Like everybody else seems to be I'm a bit 'meh' about him so far. Offered next to nothing yesterday and was close to being anonymous … at half time I said to my mate I thought Lennon would hook him stick Horgan into a more central position and bring Agyepong on … as it was Boyle was injured / hooked instead, but for me his first half contribution wasn't enough to keep him on the park after half time.

Because his time at The Rangers coincided with us being in a different division from them I cant remember much of him during his last stint in Scotland, but if you ask me he looks like a player with a decent amount of talent who needs a rocket up his arse.

[Hibee Mac]

Done absolutely nothing since coming here, he can sit on the bench till January for all I care.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Looks like he has no confidence. Not going to be too harsh on him. We won. Next week is another week.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Done absolutely nothing since coming here, he can sit on the bench till January for all I care.

Great.... Let's give him a chance. Amazing how many experts we have on this forum.

[Winston Ingram]

He was totally anonymous yesterday. Didn’t look interested at all.

[overdrive]

I’d get rid in January (i.e. not renew the loan) unless he starts to show a dramatic improvement soon.

Funnily enough though I thought his best 10 minutes in the game came immediately before he was taken off.

[Greenbeard]

He dropped his own 'N' y'day. Hide-man was what he did. Can't see him being in the team/squad for Dundee. Give him a few weeks in the reserves to see if he can get his confidence back and play more positively. Would be a good test for his attitude and desire as well. If he doesn't respond to it the way you'd hope, dump him.

[Bob Box Fish]

Need to give him time to settle / get fit but on initial viewings he reminds me of Brian Hamilton.

[SideBurns]

I was really surprised he started. Against Livvy, he came on as a sub and spent his time on the pitch strolling around the half way line playing passes back to the defenders. Definitely has ability, but needs to start taking responsibility in the middle and last third of the park.

[Hibee Mac]

Great.... Let's give him a chance. Amazing how many experts we have on this forum.

Have you watched him at all this season? Looked like he couldn't be arsed all game yesterday and not done a single thing of note.

I could understand your comment if I'd watched him for one game and jumped to conclusions, but I've not I've seen him in 4 or 5 now and he's a liability in midfield who doesn't track runners and is invisible 90% of the game.

[ekhibee]

I wasn't particularly impressed with him yesterday TBH, lots of running around but not really contributing much at all. I am wondering a bit as to what his role is in the team, defensive/attacking/holding midfielder, playmaker, etc. I agree that there is a player in there, and it's very early into the season, maybe as somebody else posted, give him a few games in the reserves and see what comes of it.

[Real Emerald]

Great.... Let's give him a chance. Amazing how many experts we have on this forum.

I never like to slate Hibs players but usually the ones that are bad are just not good enough. Hyndman on the other hand has ability but he was definitely hiding yesterday, didn't want the ball and when he did get it immediately got rid of it bar a couple of nice balls he put through. It is totally unacceptable to play the way he did yesterday, I can except a player of limited ability who tries but I'm not accepting the cowardly performance that impostor had yesterday. He needs to take responsibility and show he's at least trying or he needs launched.

Good to see Hibs fans giving a new young player time to settle. No player goes out to hide .Give the boy a break. And by the way ref.Brian Hamilton he was appreciated by all his team mates if not the fans

[Carheenlea]

He threaded a couple of what would have been delightful balls if the intended targets had similar vision to anticipate his intentions. Taking a bit of time to settle into the team, but once he gets a better understanding of his teammates and them of him, I’m certain we will see the player we know he can be very soon.

Spot on

[Eyrie]

Great.... Let's give him a chance. Amazing how many experts we have on this forum.

I'll give him a chance when he shows enough to justify being given it. Right now the only reasons for playing him are that he had a good half-season at Sevco and is on loan from an EPL team. The reasons for not playing him were evident yesterday - largely anonymous, does little off the ball and not much on it. One good pass for Boyle isn't enough.

I assume Hyndman was brought in because we weren't optimistic about getting Allan back. Not every move works out and based on the early evidence this is one that hasn't. I don't think our squad would be weaker if he wasn't here and we played our own underperformer Slivka instead.

[SquashedFrogg]

At last, a balanced view. Also put in a nice, meaty challenge in 2nd half which tells me alot.

Some of the descriptions on this thread are laughable, but sadly predictable.

Some players hit ground running. Some take a little time. The boy is a footballer. I'll give the him a chance before calling him an imposter etc.

[CMurdoch]

This is getting near to how i see Hyndman.
At the end of last season Hibs were a great rampaging team with all the parts working as one.
We lost big chunks of the team in the summer and it has taken us until yesterdays 2nd & 3rd substitutions to put it back together.

Kamberi up front on his own hasn't worked this season and similarly McLaren on his own hasn't worked.
As soon as they were together again we sparked into life, with options suddenly there for the midfield to feed them with good passes into the channels as the strikers pulled the Kilmarnock backline about.

Milligan will provide the steel, organisation and composure in the midfield which will give the attacking midfielders including Hyndman freedom to exploit the opportunities to find the strikers with quality passes into the channels. IMO all our midfielders including Hyndmann have suffered due to the lack of an anchor behind them and more importantly Kamberi then McLaren playing on their own ahead of them offering no options as they have been easily marked and contained by the opposition backline. If you take away Mallen's goals our midfielders struggle would have been more apparent.

Hyndman is a neat and tidy player with an eye for a pass but in a midfield surrounded with similar players and no options and space being created by the front line he and his other midfielders have been ineffective with Mallans strikes partly masking this.

In conclusion keep Kamberi and McLaren together up front and Milligan between the defence and the midfielders and the likes of Hyndman will flourish.

Unfortunately Slivka has a tendency to do the same thing.

I keep saying it - huge opportunity for our midfielders just now because we lost our first choice from last season and it’s all to play for.

Dylan, SJM, Allan, even Hendo and Fyvie, never stopped showing for the ball and trying to influence things, even if they were having a bad game.

This is what we need to see.

[Borderhibbie76]

Need to give him time to settle / get fit but on initial viewings he reminds me of Brian Hamilton.I thought exactly the same at the match yesterday...not been impressed 1 little bit by him and struggling to see why he was signed tbh. If he's meant to be a replacement for Scotty Allan he's failing miserably so far. Perhaps it's too early to judge but Slivka must be well p####d off at not getting a game watching him yesterday

I think it's only natural to want to talk about players, and as much as it's be great if everything was glowing praise there are going to be times when people justifiably (or otherwise) voice concerns.

No harm done, they're only opinions and can be countered and disagreed with.

Just to finish so ihave this straight. You are having a go at me for having a pop at people who are calling a young guy who has barely arrived a waste of space and to eff off back to Bournemouth. This is because I had an incident some time ago for which i subsequently apologised and admitted I was out of order.

You said there were some hideous comments on the thread, you didn't take issue with specific posts or posters, just slated the thread.

You did apologise for that incident, which was good of you, but at the same time it's a bit rich then getting all superior about people sharing their opinions on a forum.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Finding his feet with us. He was impressive at the Huns, from what I saw of him, and he has talent. Hopefully, we'll see much more from him; it's early days.

Now I’m still fairly young so I wouldn’t have been around in the era you’re presumably talking about but I highly doubt people would have sat and watched performances like the ones Hyndman has put in so far for a full season before eventually being critical of him.

[lord bunberry]

He was like a man short yesterday and that’s how he’s been every time I’ve seen him. Hopefully he comes good and proves me wrong, but I wouldn’t be starting him next week.

[patlowe]

A bit like Slivka in that you can see the tidy technical ability but doesn't do enough to influence the game. So far anyway.

[RossScott1991]

Don’t think there’s anything wrong in discussing players, I don’t think my original post was that critical either. I am just interested to see general feeling about him from other fans. Admittedly still really early to judge properly

Good post Hyndman is a talent thought he did ok yesterday shows for the ball better than some others. Just needs games. This thread is hotching obviously yams very cocky at present. Need the Derby to come round soon to put them in their place. Give the boy a chance.

Technically gifted players like EH need to be in a midfield that has balance and thus far we have yet to find the ideal midfield 4/5. What I think he needs is Bartley and/or Milligan behind him so he can be more forward thinking, because as it stands he is playing a little to safe and central. I think he has the vision and creativity to play in behind Kamberi, Boyle, McLaren, etc.......but he needs to be further up the pitch. His frame and physique shows he's not going to be an all rounder like SJM. But he is a talent, for me that is obvious. 5 or 6 games in is no time to judge him. Let's get Agyepong, Milligan, Horgan and Bartley really up to speed and fully match fit and see how he goes from there.

Not easy to immediately hit the ground running with so many team variations. I think he needs a goal to kickstart him.

[scoopyboy]

Not sure about him.

He did well at Rangers, question I would be asking is does he want to be here?

Didn't look up for it yesterday and doesn't look interested in training from what I gather.

NL signed him and has given him chances which he has to do, I've nothing against that whatsoever but would rather he showed us a bit more.

Too early to hang him out to dry.

Loan deal doesn't have any specific appearance quota. Training comment is nonsense too.

Criticise the player by all means, but don't make things up.

[Squirrel 1875]

Was delighted when we signed him. I have been disappointed since. Hides for 90 minutes much like one Liam Craig used to do.

Indeed he has probably played less than 2 full games worth of minutes in the team and is being castigated.

Maybe it is because he isnt Scott Allan.

Out of interest, what did you think he done that was very good on Saturday? I’ve seen a ball that was played to Boyle mentioned (which would have been a great pass if he’d completed it admittedly) but the pass was slightly overhit. That to me says a lot about his contribution so far that people have been picking out an overhit pass that ran through to the keeper as something he’s done well.

Played a lovely little pass in the first half when we were on the break, shows for the ball very well in other bits and kept the game ticking over. Thought he was ok and would only get better with games.

[Souter96Mac]

Want to see him do well as when I've watched him he's shown some really smart turns and touches. But not consistent enough yet. Hopefully he'll kick on.

[CMurdoch]

If we play Kamberi and MacLaren up front and Milligan in defensive midfield you will see Hyndman playing killer balls through to the strikers and being far more effective generally.

Nothing like that, given Saturday was the first time all the guys were available together.

So to clarify you can only post positive news on here?

I'm guessing the reason your called scoopyboy is because you want to be known as a scoop? :greengrin

Negative comments are fine, but i don't understand any real positive that comes from a self admitted scoop airing supposed negative scoops.

Completely wrong regarding the username.

For about 20 years I wrote the bowling report for the East Lothian Courier, whereby I earned the nickname scoop.

I can understand why fellow posters think I called myself scoopyboy because I post lots of scoops, but that isn't true.

Dismissing a player after we have played 5 league games is as bad as those in the media and here that are talking about Hearts doing a Leicester.

A bit of patience and perspective is required, surely? Assess the lad as his loan deal nears finishing.

Say it about every player we sign on loan and you’ll be right once in a while!
I predict Maclaren and Agyepong will be excellent loan signings and will offer a lot over the season.

How does that fit your theory?

Dunno, you confused me now!

there will be nothing to assess if he doesn't improve as he wont get any game time
