Deserves a thread of his own for that performance, came on at half time and we looked so much better going forward. Has to start against Celtic now IMO.

Outstanding when he came on, completely changed the game. Looked good to actually have a midfield in the second half today. Horgan played his part too done well and great ball. Slivka was class second half as well.

I like him and think he's a really good player.

It's a bit of a mystery to me how he hasn't done more for us.

Wasn't there today so can't comment but let's not rewrite the past few months where he has been in the main poor and ineffective. Another who clearly has ability but hasn't shown anywhere near enough.

he's had 1 and a half great games v Hamilton and a few other decent spells.
i relly hope he kicks on but up to now he hasn't done enough

Whilst I agree that he's not been amazing. We've really struggled without him for 7 games and he's come back in today and we've won. So there must be something he brings to the team.

He was class in the Aberdeen game when we pumped them 0-0.

Not having a go at you but that would be another player who gets better the longer he is out the side. When he signed and heard what the Huns thought about him coupled with his YouTube video I was delighted but with the odd exception he's not shown that form anywhere near enough. Agree though re Aberdeen game he was excellent in that.

I actually agree with you. He's flattered to deceive and I'd have had him sent back but you can't argue that our record with him in the side is better than our record without.

So whether he's class or it's simply that his presence brings us better balance or opens up space for others, there's definitely something.

I didn't know that but I'm not convinced him playing in the past 8 games would have ended up with better results. Maybe he's just a lucky omen 😀

When was McGregor on the way out?Couple of seasons back, just before he established himself in the celtc team, they thought they were losing him down south and had enquired about Emerson, obv they bolted when Bournemouth priced Hyndman out, prob because a couple of German teams and Spurs were waiting in the wings

Played really well and made a difference when he came on.

But let's not kid ourselves, Hamilton's midfield is probably as bad as we'll meet this season. They're awful. We didn't need a DM today and all our creative players had more time and space that they've had in weeks. His value will be shown against better opposition and over more than 1 game.

So we didn't need Stevenson in DM today then? We'll just play with 10 next time. Be that easy.

Hyndman, along with Horgan gave us what we were lacking in that first half. The tempo was upped, we were more direct with the passing and there was more of a zip to the play. Still not vintage Hibs, but a step in the right direction all the same. Delighted with the win

Yep, I'm delighted we won, and hope it brings confidence to the team, but Hamilton are by far the worst side I've seen Hibs play this season.

But for a very strange decision by the ref to not award a stonewall penalty, coupled with some poor finishing in the 2nd half, we could have won by a few goals today.

Much better balance today when Hyndman came on and played old-fashioned inside-left position with Slivka on right.

I like to see Hibs players that are comfy on the ball.

Gorgeous and Efe complemented each other well, too. Big test next week, though.

Not anywhere near enough he hadn’t. Hopefully the start of him kicking on but I’d still go for Allan ahead of him in January.

His previous insipid and invisible performances were quickly forgotten as he stood out like a beacon in that 2nd half.

Well done for a great performance.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Before today I felt he'd had maybe 2 games of decent performances with the rest being absolutely anonymous.

He flitted in and out of some games but we've undoubtedly played our best stuff when he's been in the side. That's why Lennon brought him in. To be the Scott Allan we need.

Why would you want Allan in January? He's not played all season. He'd be so far off the pace it would be like playing with 10 men. Better sticking with Hyndman now.

Good points, but we can worry about "getting him up to speed" after we "get him".

I'm sure there will be other pursuers.

Hyndman has hardly played either. Or at least not consistently. I’m not sure it would take that long to get Scott Allan up to speed compared to Hyndman who’s been stop start all season anyway.

It could take Allan a long time to get up to speed. No games in 6 months mixed with his diabetes and it could take him 4/5 weeks to get ready. He's worth it of course but throwing him in right away could lead to injury.

08-12-2018, 11:36 PM
The problem with Hyndman has been his inconsistency. If he could reproduce his best performances, he’d be a first pick. He’s a bit like Slivka in that respect. It’s one great game and two poor games. He has to start next week, but he also has to produce again.

Hopefully Scott Allan has been working away diligently despite not getting first team action and could very quickly 'get up to speed'

A half pace, half fit Allan would play in my Hibs team any day of the week.

Hyndman was great yesterday and his efforts had an immediate effect on those around him including the hoards behind the goal. Between him and Porteous for MOM for me.
Horgan also made an impact when he appeared.

I like Hyndman bud, has a touch of class about him and is on a par with Allan regards vision and eye for a pass - but I also think he has a touch of Dylan about him regarding injuries............interesting he is back fit when we are about to face the biggest teams in the league and there will be TV exposure.......call me cynical but I think he needs to toughen up and show he is up for a cold night in Dundee, Fir Park and Perth. There's a few in the squad I think need to toughen up and not think a wee tweak means four or five games out :agree: you look at the likes of Lewy and think how on earth can a wee guy like that play through the pain barrier and still give 100% - some need to look at the likes of him and Paul Hanlon and get these 'injuries' out their head. When these guys are injured, they are injured.

In Hyndmans case I've already commented on him (praised him actually for his last performance) in another post.

It does not matter if it's Hyndman, Slivka or any other of the players we have or have brought in, none of them are McGinn, McGeouch, Allan or even Barker.

They are all being unfairly compared to them, and we were never going to be able to replace those players with similar, never mind better.

I'm sure we can get back to challenging for Europe, but it is going to take more than one transfer window, and this is why i feel we need to hold our nerves and get right behind the manager and his team.
