How good is he?

Strange to single out a keeper after a 6-0 win but his save in the 1st half after Efe and Porteous left the ball to each other was huge. If that went in it was a different game. He also came and claimed 2 or 3 balls under pressure and had one punch in amongst bodies in the 2nd half that he got good distance on.

After a nervy start when it was obvious he needed games he has just got better and better. He looks so calm and composed and pulls out big saves when neeeded. I like Marciano but he has a real fight on hos hands to get back in the team; that can only be good for us.

He has been excellent since the away leg in Greece

Rocky is going to have a real fight on his hands to get the gloves back

He is the best keeper we have had in years. I doubt it will happen but making his deal permanent would be a brilliant bit of business.

Think he’s out of contract at the end of this year so might have a chance of a permanent deal?

I think he has better distribution than Rocky, i.e., no long kicks aimed at David Gray on the far touchline that go out for a throw.

We are lucky to have very reliable goalkeepers to pick from. Bogdan has the jersey just now and rightly so but what a fight Rocky has on his hands.

I like how comfortable coming for crosses is for Bogdan.

Remember them well used to dae ma heid in did it at least once every game. I remember he did it at Tinycastle last Derby of last season I thought Lenny was going to have a heart attack.

Very quick distribution with a roll out or pass to outfield player. Think we have been working on that. Puts us back on front foot quickly. Think also good at taking cross balls. No spills or dangerous punches.

Still don’t think he’s quite as good as Rocky but thats more because of how highly I rate Rocky than a slight on Bogdan. He’s been very good other than his first couple of games.

He’s maybe the best keeper I’ve seen play for us (not counting Logan of course :greengrin )

I was saying to my Grandad yesterday that you never worry with Bogdan, always got complete confidence he’s getting the ball first. He’s so alert to what’s going on too and that’s not something we can say about some of our previous keepers.

We’ve also not had to rush Marciano back after injury due to Bogdan’s form and that can only be a good thing.

Completely dominates his box. He's sheer quality and Rocky will struggle to get the gloves back off him. Extra points for his great distribution, too. He is class.

4 clean sheets in a row... no matter how well Rocky does in training can't drop a guy with those stats! He looks very comfortable, good distribution and knows when to come off his line.

Rocky's only getting in for injury or suspension the way Adam is playing. Last season there was a lot of pressure for him to perform before Laidlaw's unfortunate semi final and lattetly after Bell's performance at McDirmaid Park. When there's a challange - he's been brilliant. Kind of bodes well for the season both keeper's knowing there's someone as good/better waiting....

Bogdan has pulled off some amazing reaction saves has he not? I think marciano is brilliant, but bogdan has been pretty much flawless for the last month at least.

If the reason for Marciano making a return to the starting line-up is that Bogdan makes a costly mistake, I hope that doesn't happen.

blackpoolhibs

07-10-2018, 10:53 AM

Bogdan for me is the better keeper, although i do rate Rocky in my opinion Bogdan is better.

I have no problem with Lennon bringing in better players than we currently have, if he brings in someone better than Kamberi and Mallan in January i'd be even happier than i am now.

BT58

07-10-2018, 12:23 PM

We got in early yesterday, Rocky was in goals for the players to take shots. I honestly thought Bogdan was not playing, does he not warm up like the rest ??. Its great to have to class goalies as they will know any mistakes and they could lose them their place.

I agree and posted the following on another thread:
"I would also like our club to be negotiating a precontract deal with Adam Bogdan. He has settled down and has been playing faultlessly. At 31 he might decide that he is enjoying playing football for an improving team and be happy to stick around. I prefer his all round quality to Marciano's spectacular shot stopping which masks some of his weaknesses"

cleanyman

07-10-2018, 01:23 PM

For folk saying Bogdan is streets ahead....come on

We are lucky to have two excellent keepers at the club. Unforunately for Rocky he has had a bad injury and Bogdan has taken the opportunity with both hands

I am happy with both and we also have a very good goalie at number 3

marleyhib

07-10-2018, 01:33 PM

Bogdan is a class act, it’s been a long time since I remember us having a keeper as good at handling crosses. Rocky is a fantastic shot stopper, away win at Killie last season sticks in my mind but so does him getting sent off against ST Johnstone which admittedly might be a bit harsh.

We love us to sign Adam permanently.

007

07-10-2018, 01:45 PM

Much as I like Rocky, Bogdan just shades it for me as he is better coming for crosses whereas Rocky doesn't command his box so well and sometimes stays on his line when he should be going for the ball. Bogdan also has a good long throw in his locker.

Great to have them both, would love it if we got Bogdan on a permanent deal.

Rocky has consistently pulled off a number of world class saves for Hibs - It's still early days for Bogdan but he's earned the chance to prove himself against tougher opposition. Its nice to have 2 top quality keepers to chose from though.

Shrekko

07-10-2018, 03:50 PM

Rocky is the better keeper , he's pulled off some mind boggling saves for us . That said he is prone to the odd moment of madness like his red card , Bogdan is more consistent and better distribution but Rocky is the better shot stopper

So if Bogdan is more consistent how is Rocky the ‘better keeper’? The shot stopping thing is debateable in any case. Some incredible saves but some shots that often look saveable going past.

Rocky for me has been good for Hibs but he has your heart in your mouth a lot of the time and for a big guy he just doesn’t command his box and often flaps at crosses. Bogdan is the first keeper in donkeys years that I’ve seen dominating his box and his timing is always impeccable. His distribution is a mile better than Rocky so I’d say he probably has a far more rounded game.

southern hibby

07-10-2018, 03:55 PM

I have no preferance over either goalkeeper as both are good. But we’ve kept a few clean sheets now AND since Bogdan has been in Ambrose has been outstanding. Coincidence ??? Not sure but both together are doing the damage together for our defence.

Bogdan has done brilliantly and currently for me is looking a good upgrade on Rocky.

Marciano always seemed to have a bit of a lapse in concentration in him, a touch of Efe if you want, but Bogdan just seems so switched on all the time.

Nice problem to have but on recent form I’m backing Bogdan in this discussion [emoji736]

Hi Heid Yin

08-10-2018, 12:33 AM

Bogdan is in a rich vein of form and looks every inch a solid, quality keeper.
His handling and distribution have been excellent.
Rock is also quality but when he is fully fit he might just have to bide his time to get back in.
It's an ideal scenario for our club - Two great keepers.

08-10-2018, 03:38 AM

Got off to a poor start with us and I must admit I was worried we had gone back to the days of bombscare hibs keepers but delighted to have been proven wrong. He's been great so far this season, making some terrific saves.

As said above, Marcianno is going to have to work dam hard to get the gloves back but having 2 good goalkeepers in competition with each other for 1st spot is a good thing :thumbsup:

Wasn’t sure about Bogdan but he’s definitely grown in confidence and built a good understanding with our defence. The run of shut outs and goal against numbers in last few games makes him hard to displace, even by Rocky who’s the best we’ve had in a while. Great problem for Lennon to have.

BBC had him in the team of the week so must have done something right.

22-10-2018, 12:45 PM

It's amazing we have a thread praising our keeper after conceding four goals... but if it wasn't for him, it would have been much worse.

As good as Celtc undoubtedly are, I think the formation (and some of our defending) let us down big time in the first half.

Delboy4

22-10-2018, 12:54 PM

Lennon got his team wrong in the first half hour!

He changed it to a diamond after 30 mins or so. We were getting over run all over the park the first 20 mins - game could have been ( if it wasn't already ) over when they went 2 up. To be honest, Celtic were back to their best
and were hard to play against until Lennon changed it. I just wished he wouldn't play Slivka RM because he can't play there!

hibsbollah

22-10-2018, 04:48 PM

There were some nonsense threads when he made his debut and the weeks following, many posts criticising his 'body language', which I've always thought is a way of criticising a keeper when you don't actually have any tangible mistakes to criticise him for :faf:
I've always liked the look of him from day one and glad he's proving me right at the moment. Gaun the ginger.

If it's accurate it's testament to the guy that he's willing to come here and put the shifts in that he's doing rather than just sit on the £24k per week Liverpool are paying him. He's come up here determined to work hard and be our No1 for the season.

He needs to put himself in the shop window if he wants to get anywhere near £24k/wk with his next contract. If he does well with us this season and as a result gets a good contract elsewhere next season he'll go with my best wishes.

Would be delighted if we get him on a permanent deal, maybe by doing a pre-contract in January, but suspect he'll be out of our price range. You never know though, Leanne and co have been pretty smart with some of the deals they've done.

SRHibs

23-10-2018, 04:41 PM

You had to be at the game on Saturday to understand how good he played. Would have been a cricket score if it wasn't for him ( and our post ) also, love how quick he is in distributing the ball from defence to attack!

If Lennon gets him on a permanent deal, it will be a massive signing! Top class goalie who has now settled into the team...

Aye, it’s a small thing, but the way he throws the ball out for players to run on to is almost perfect every single time. It’s quite satisfying to watch.

The_Horde

His one brilliant save from distance that tipped away for a corner in the first half it looked to me as though he did not expect the strike and it took him a bit by surprise but nevertheless coped admirably

Had very little to do but as you said he should never have come for the ball at the end. Daz had won everything up to that point and they were never scoring from it so let Daz win it and stay in your goals.

Yeah it was odd. Don't want to be overly critical, he's been excellent for us but was a couple of rushes of blood to the head at the end trying to get balls into the box that were never his.

I suspect he was bored given how little they gave him to do!
