Hyndman

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Thought he was much better tonight than we’ve previously seen. Some nice passes. Thoughts?

[cabbage_88]

Played very well, best performance in a hibs jersey by a distance

[Sammy7nil]

Yeah he was good but I can't understand why Horgan never got on the pitch.

[cleanyman]

He should be going to bed tonight with 3 assists under his belt

Played well

[MacGruber]

Agreed - played well.
Milligan is giving the midfield a better balance and Hyndman having his best game - Mallan was excellent too came with Milligan's first start.

[Greenbeard]

Was v surprised to see him start with Horgan and Slivka benched, both of whom on recent form would have been ahead of him in my book. But he did play much better, although still some anon spells and some "dinnae gie it tae me" moments. It was more Mallan and Milligan who made the difference in midfield over the 90. But Hyndman will hopefully take some confidence from a decent performance and kick on.

[Smartie]

He can pick a pass, and with pacey players who have good movement around him, he'll be a threat.

I don't think he looks entirely happy, his head is down and he looks a bit short of confidence. He's quite harsh on himself when things don't work out for him, and I think he's a goal or assist away from stepping up a level.

[SChibs]

He's got the best first touch at hibs imo. Always keeps it under control and usually plays it into space around him. Knows how to shake a player off who's on his back too

He was always looking for the ball and never hid once - carved Aberdeen open numerous times with delightful passes that on another day would have been finished off. Thought he was very good and more than justified his start.

[Robbo6-2]

Definitely his best game in hibs shirt so far.

Thot he had a decent game.

Something to build on

[Unseen work]

Good enough game, very very lightweight.

Couple of neat passes and once sharpness and confidence is up he will score goals as he gets in good positions.

[calumhibee1]

Played well first half, drifted right out of it second half. First time I’ve seen him and thought he looked a player so hopefully more of his first half performances to come.

[number9dream]

Good touch and a much improved performance. He could have had a couple of goals (shot wide, muscled out of rebound in front of goal) but I’m still expecting more from a number 10. An in-form Scott Allan would have sliced that lumbering Aberdeen side open time after time.
Is he the answer of should Mallan be more advanced? I thought he ran the show in the first half but was too deep after the interval... (Mallan).

[Leith's finest]

He missed a few chances though

[Sir David Gray]

Showed tonight what he is capable of and why he's on the books of an English Premier League side.

Very impressed with him.

[GreenLake]

He is coming up to speed. Good player.

Tonight’s midfield did slice open Aberdeen time after time.Scott Allan wouldn’t have made any difference because we couldn’t have hit a coo’s a**e with a banjo.

[Hibee Mac]

Fair play to the guy, I had a pop before the game but he was better today. Still not totally convinced but he didn't hide and played well.

[Borderhibbie76]

Much better tonight looked a player at times which was great to see

Feared the worst but did ok seems to have brushed up his act needs to improve final product

I thought when the goalie saved a couple of his efforts second half you could physically see his head going down that is why I think he got hooked as you need to stay positive focused and bounce back for more. We probably needed a change at that stage anyway but offered more in a forward sense than say Slivka has lately

That’s how I feel. He played well tonight but I’m still not won over by him yet.

He got off a couple of shots with both left and right foot tonight too. Thought he had a decent outing.

He got hooked because he was absolutely done in.

[Hermit Crab]

Hyndman was excellent tonight after a patchy first half. Ran out of steam after running about for 90 minutes.

[matty_f]

His best game yet for us. I would like to see him demand the ball more, get more involved more often, but when he was involved tonight he did a lot of good things.

[BILLYHIBS]

Agree put in a good shift was goosed but best performance to date in a HIBS shirt glad we got a glimpse of the real Hyndman.

A lot of players looked done in perhaps down to the new system Lenny is asking them to play.

Milligan faded after about eighty minutes but understandable in the circumstances

[CLASS OF 72 -73]

That’s how I feel. He played well tonight but I’m still not won over by him yet.

Me neither. Played better but was trying too hard to impress.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

He need to learn to pass to Shaw

But overall a much better game

Hyndman benefits when you have a player like Bartley or Milligan in the midfield digging in to do the ugly work

[Dancehibs]

He’s good in possession but lacks drive and strength. If he’s in the last third he has shown he can slot a pass away. Needs a different type player in centre mid to complement his skills.

[WeeRussell]

Unpopular opinion but I think the praise for Milligan has been overboard and some of it is to compensate for the stick posters want to carry on giving Hyndman despite a good display last night.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Looked like the player we thought he was. Some guys need time to settle in which is fair enough. I'm excited to see more now based on last night.

[jacomo]

I’m not sure what he offers us to be honest.

He clearly has ability and good passing technique but unless he lifts his head and finds a team mate in the final third he carries no threat.

[Hi Heid Yin]

My thoughts too.:agree:

He offered us at least two very good chances tonight which unfortunately weren't taken. Hopefully he proves to be an important player this season.

[DH1875]

Did he get man of the match? Think he had a decent game but......still wouldn't be anywhere near my starting 11.

Hanlon got it I’m sure. Should have been Efe though. Absolute geezer.

Outstanding vision, he plays the ball into space but too often his teammates are not switched on enough to read the pass.

Yep Hanlon did get it.

[Borderhibbie76]

Said as much myself after the Kilmarnock game. He can unlock the tightest of defences with such passes and he’ll get his fair share of assists I’m sure.
