I don't know how anyone expects Kamberi to perform like last season when the only service he gets is people punting the ball the length of the field to him where he's completely isolated.

I think Kamberi has been harshly treated. Same player, different team. Lennon’s used him as a scapegoat - others are more culpable for our position than him.

Kamberi is great running into through ball. Can't play back to goal. No first touch at all. Also, no offside awareness

Is that an actual quote from someone at Hibs?

Hibs should have known the risk in putting such a high investment in one player. Injuries and loss of form are pretty obvious possibilities so to be unhappy at the player when he’s feeding off scraps is a bit harsh IMO

I totally agree with this. The support from midfield has been like chalk and cheese over last season. If he had anyone feeding some decent passes he would be in a different position from where he is with the fan base today.

And playing him isolated up front on his own, when we all know that is not a role he can successfully play, made no sense.

It was almost as if he was being set up to fail.

I have also never known a player to play better because his boss keeps telling him and the world, that he is playing crap.

Lennon refused to take any blame himself - tactics, formations, his signings etc. That's the reason I ain't crying myself to sleep that he's gone tbh...think change is needed

This. Kamberi is not missing 1 on 1 chances or fluffing through balls he can run in to....he is not getting any decent service. The role he seems to be getting asked to play does not support this either. Same with issue with McLaren IMO. We resorted to this back to the goal / hold the ball up tactic when our midfield was weak....we now have new quality heads in MF, who could deliver quality balls.

I have no doubt Gauld & co will deliver the service when kamberi is played in a way we know works. I am optimistic that we will start scoring goals again if someone else is in the dugout and makes the switch.

The service to Flo has been horrific all season and Lennon’s public humiliation of him was never going to help. It’s obvious the guy is at a low ebb and hopefully that can be turned around.

That said if the board are upset that a potentially large saleable asset is being run down then it’s a bit early for panic as he signed a three year deal. Surely the logical move is to be looking to cash in during the summer window if 2020?

I wonder if the Players Union have had any involvement. The way you handled it is very much on the lines of what a Union Rep might advise and I really hope the players have done similar. The whole situation appears to have been going on for months and if they have documented it then Hibs will have a far easier and cheaper way to exit Lennon.

If the club writes off its investment in Flo it would be a serious setback for us.

The ‘lack of service’ is just a lazy argument regarding his form and Kamberi’s fan club really have the blinkers on.

‘Give him a chance and he’ll stick it away’ is another. He’s missed 2 blinkin penalties in his last few games.

And now he’s been ‘set up to fail’! Ridiculous.

I assume Leigh Griffiths got great service at Hibs? Erm no. Kamberi needs to look at himself. He was brought in to be our difference maker and has been soft and some of his football has been woeful which probably explains why he couldn’t make it as his last club despite having another sob story of alleged poor treatment.

Lennon shouldn’t have gone public but you can understand his frustration.

You may have a point on Kamberi not enjoying working as a lone striker - it’s not an uncommon role though for most strikers these days ..

It’s too simplistic this view for me - the picking on Kamberi has not been helpful from Lennon - but Kamberi’s performances have also been poor at times - even if he doesn’t like playing as a lone striker, it shouldn’t stop him controlling the ball and laying it off..or anticipating the ball rather than being caught on your heels - we’ve seen lots of that this season from him

For me Lennon handled this poorly, but equally Kamberi has not performed well enough this season - and its not just about formations

This is doing the rounds and that he punched a door in her office.

As you say purely a rumour and the full details of what has led to his suspension will probably never come out.

Whatever has happened, the suspension suggests the club want to give themselves time to consider how to proceed. Lennons an intelligent guy well skilled in advocating his case, so if rumours of such a bust up were true, the club would be wanting to make sure their legal case was watertight.

The Sun's reports so far are clearly the result of briefings from someone on Lenny's side.

The paper seems to be trying to isolate Kamberi and, to a certain extent, Dempster as the people at fault. They are implying that all the players support Lenny.

In a dispute between an ex-Old Firm player who's still popular with their fans and any non-OF club the tabloids are always going to support the position of the ex-OF person. As a perspective it is likely to appeal to more of their readers.

As such - I don't think anything the Sun/Record etc says on this topic is necessarily likely to get us near the full story or even the truth.

Not the only example of players struggling when played out of position.

I don’t really see it especially when Boyles been fit. We’ve lacked a cutting edge and the ball has a tendency to be lost when played up to the front men. Your man has to take some responsibility for that.

In modern football you can’t just be a goal hanger. Every player has to do their bit in the build up.

Kamberi has had some good game this season and a lot of very poor ones. Stop blaming everyone but him. It always has to be so black or white on here. A lot of people have caused our problems this season -nobody should get a pass.

For a whole team to so obviously lose their form and confidence at the same time has to be down to management.

Not one single player is playing anything like maximum of their ability.

I agree that Lennon should not have gone public like he did👍🏻 I think people are trying to hard to apportion blame when it’s clearly a collective mess.

The quality and style of football being played I do not believe is down to Lennon instructing the team to play a long ball game. His signings... Mallan, Allan, Gauld, Horgan ... prove that. Some players have let him down and injuries and lack of squad depth have hampered his ability to just drop the under achievers.

People can defend Kamberi if they like but he is nothing like the player he was last season. His running and work rate was immense.

Not sure about the fish analogy - it’s more like ‘giving a talented International football player the ball and telling him to score’ .

If the ball lands at his feet then great - we hope he scores. We also want Flo to go searching for the ball and to chase back if we lose possession. Dare I say it, we also want Flo to take penalties and bury the ball in the back of the net.

It’s not just the missed chances after he’s been served the ball, the poor penalty misses but also the general lack of energy that’s missing from last season. We all know he can do better .

Lennon hardly mercilessly lambasted him publicly. The criticisms I’ve read all seem valid and measured. You’d take on the chin then pull your socks up.

I have no idea exactly what’s been shouted from the touch line (somebposters give the impression they could enlighten us?) but I doubt it’s been purile abuse like you often hear from the stands (and can do without). It’s the manager’s job to shout at his players from the touch line. Alex Ferguson did it, Steve Clarke does it, Eddie Turnbull did it. They may very well remind a player to focus, try harder and generally get their finger out.

I want a manager who does that - I want to see Hibs players fighting for every ball and busting a gut for the jersey.

I remain comfortable with the idea that attacking the guy off the pitch and in public whilst playing him as the type of striker he naturally isn't is not good management or tactics.

I say all of the above as someone who was plugging a pro Lennon line when he arrived having had the pleasure of meeting him long before he joined us through a mutual friend. Sadly I think the majority of responsibility for our place in the league and performances lie with him.

"The club are unhappy with the Kamberi situation as they paid a significant fee to get him in the summer from Grasshoppers and view him as a major asset with a real sell-on value."

Are we a football team or a business first and foremost? I think it's a valid question to ask

By definition we are both - a professional football team should be run as a business otherwise it won't last very long.

This is Lennon getting his mates in the press to blame everything on a 23 year old against whom he has a personal vendetta.

well seems similar to his treatment of dylan mcgeough at the last derby of last season. he hung dylan out to dry, dropped dylan, we of course lose the game (no great surprise when you drop your best players) then lennon went into hiding.

not something he(lennon) would get away with in his next managerial job

He's singled him out all season and now after his suspension all the West Coast papers are saying poor wee Lenny is being bullied by one young striker. Yes, I believe it.

You got any links? To papers saying Kamberi bullied Lennon?

He’s not singled him out all season he only really did it a couple of times.... which he shouldn’t have, but he’s also criticised others such as Martin Boyle.

My guess would be that the truth is somewhere in the middle of both sides of the theories. Doubt Lennon managed to conduct a conspiracy in the space of 24 hours. We all know that Kamberi can do no wrong in the eyes of some and is the victim but this is too far fetched surely?
