Where’s the third trialist?

[smithy_hibees]

2 trialists, honestly unsure why don't give trialists starts, rather give them 60mins to impress.. but we didn't sign Moon who btw look half decent so what do I know

[04Sauzee]

Where’s the third trialist?

My mistake I read the trialist 2 on the subs bench as a further 2 trialists.

Sorry

[GloryGlory]

Anyone there to give updates?

[Diclonius]

Looks like the search for the backup DM is on already.

[Billy Whizz]

Anyone there to give updates?

I’ll do some updates
Quite a few along to watch today

[Robbo6-2]

Is the trailist Liam Burt?

[JohnMcM]

Thanks Billy,
Can you see who is there from the coaching staff ?

[jws1875]

Excellent start by Hibs. One good chance saved very early on.

[jws1875]

1-0 Newcastle

[Billy Whizz]

1-0 Newcastle

Against the run of play, been all Hibs

[Billy Whizz]

Trialist is a just a young lad

[GloryGlory]

Against the run of play, been all Hibs

Sounds like the story of the last few years - Hibs on top, fail to take chances, get mugged by the opposition...

[Stuart93]

See “ball over the top” got Newcastle their goal

Senior teams lost a few goals like that this season so far too, wonder if that’s a downside of the high press tactic?

[Iggy Pope]

Newcastle right winger giving Mackie a time of it.

[The_Horde]

Newcastle right winger giving Mackie a time of it.

Maybe a chance to see if any Newcastle boys are worth a loan deal?

[jws1875]

Two good saves by Martin

[Billy Whizz]

1-1, 2 great saves from Paddy, Hibs break away and the no 7 scores

[jws1875]

1-1 Good counter from a Newcastle corner

[jws1875]

Hibs playing well & keeping the ball well. Another good save by Martin.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Who's the center mid trialist?

Dylan?😉

[GreenCastle]

1-1 at half time.

Newcastle have some very dangerous attacking players - very quick.

Newcastle had better of chances too with Martin making 3 very good saves.

Hibs goal was a counter from Newcastle corner.

Who is Hibs 7 ?

[Hermit Crab]

1-1 at half time.

Who is Hibs 7 ?

Trialist? Is he any good like?

[brog]

Is it Newcastle U 23s? Our team are all 20 or younger aren't they? Sorry, not being pedantic, just curious if we're playing against older guys.

PS, updates are much appreciated.

On the sheet as John Smith, Trialist. Young lad very quick. Left sided but comfortable playing on the right and took his goal very well.

Think this is him as there was a photo of him kicking about training with the Hibs team and it looks like the same boy.

[GreenCastle]

It’s Newcastle’s u23 but they have a very young team and only just started back.

They have quite a few players missing as some are in China with 1st team who have lost a lot of players and some aren’t playing as going on loan.

Newcastle bench all about 16.

If that’s him you would imagine he would be a first team player as he is 22 in about a week!

Good spot. Would guess we are maybe having a look before a possible loan. Still got a year left with Bristol City.

First game for a considerable number of the Hibs side too (save for those like Shaw who have been involved with 1st team).

Looked good.

Very fast.

[Heisenberg]

Played for Tranmere in League Two last season though so I’m sure some will still be upset.

[The_Horde]

Im just getting that in before the usual crowd do.

Helped Tranmere get promoted from L2 last season, played 36 games. Their fans seem to have liked him.

They had a great year last year so hopefully he can kick on if joining.

I would hope that the player is already identified?

League 2 you say? I am out. He is rubbish

[04Sauzee]

Boyle/Barker fast?

[erin go bragh]

What was the final score ? Had to leave at HT . Thought the no 7 started well but lost possession a couple of times but took his goal well . The Newcastle no 11 looks a player .

[Heisenberg]

Full time 2-1 Newcastle.

[Tarrahib]

You mean John D'oh..... :doh:

[Bayern Bru]

EEN reckons second trialist was Will Donkin, ex-Crystal Palace, 13 caps for Taiwan national team.

[thegaffer12]

Trialists were Smith and Donkin, as listed on the team sheet

[PaulSmith]

Im just getting that in before the usual crowd do.

if you are happy that Hibs are looking at this market to take the club forward into the top 4 then so be it, I’ll make no apology to say that it’s extremely disappointing.

Will Donkin went to Eton, Future Tory MP if he dosen't become a footballer then...

[Callum_62]

2 young lads, especially Donkin

Maybe Smith would be first team material

I was just watching our 5-1 league cup win over Killie the other day. 2 free transfers, Hogg & Murphy & 2 very lower league signings in Jones & Sproule from Grimsby & Institute respectively. They all helped take our club forward.

Could be Wee Ron's business model. Get rich parents to pay for their kids getting a game?

[GreenCastle]

Was watching the game and thinking are any of these young players going to break through to Hibs 1st team.

Was also thinking would many Hibs players get into the Newcastle u23 team plus would any of the Newcastle players be good enough to come on loan.

Anyone who watched have any views ?

I once heard a story that he keeps missing chances cos his boots keep coming undone. Apparently he can only Taiwan.

:bye:

[Bishop Hibee]

Was Donkin a doughnut or am I wrang?

[04Sauzee]

Looks like he played in a game for Bristol around a week back

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/callum-odowda-still-favour-among-3063895

[Vault Boy]

Jonny Smith looks decent. We still need a more direct, speedy winger IMO and he seems to fit the bill. Lefty too, which is good for balance.

[Billy Whizz]

Good game today, really enjoyed it. Think Hibs decision to play against these sort of sides instead of reserve team sides will pay dividends
Hibs set up 433 and enjoyed most of the early pressure. Newcastle were sitting in and trying to hit Hibs on the break
Hibs almost scored in the 1st minute, United goalie had great save from Murray
United goal came from a quick attack, ball was put behind our centre backs and the quick forward slotted home

Hibs goal came from a Newcastle corner, ball got cleared and the trialist and Murray chased it. Thought out no 7 had waited too long, but tucked it away nicely

The 2nd half was more even, and United scored from a scrappy goal from Hibs point of view. Newcastle also hit the post, but Hibs had a few chances late on, Hammer and Mackie put in a few great crosses, but we just couldn’t get on the end of them. Hammer in particular was giving their right back a hard time, Oli was unlucky to get on the end of things

For quite a few of these lads it was their 1st match of the season. Hibs will also be happy with the 3 new signings first performance in a Hibs shirt.
Also managed to get 3 young lads on too in the 2nd half, Gullantes,Yeats (Scholesy) and 15 year old Jayden Fairley, all 3 did well!

A few tasty challenges too, which could have possibly resulted in cards at senior level, but Ref kept his cards in his pocket

Thought Paddy Martin was fantastic today, has put his Arbroath performance behind him and moved on. He’s a good goalie!

Development teams next game is against Linlithgow Rose away, Wednesday 24th July, 7.30pm ko

Get along if you can

[Smartie]

It would be great if this spiffing Will fellow came on to score a hat-trick against Hearts and the game was forever more known as the Donkin derby.

[Allant1981]

Glad that the Arbroath game hasn't affected Martin.

Got to think games like this will be of more benefit than winning 7-0 against Dundee Utd or whoever it was last season

[HoboHarry]

Poor guy better score a hat trick or he'll be forever known as Honkin Donkin.....

Sam Cosgrove came from Carlisle, played for some other lower non league clubs prior to that. Hasn't done all that bad

[Brightside]

Spoke to a pal who follows tranmere. The lad is seen as being too lightweight to make it at a higher level.

Like mcnulty and Griffiths being too wee for Hibs 😉

Funny that, from what I've seen on twitter most of them want him back. At a higher level in league 1.

Thanks for that Billy. Was disappointed not to make today but hoping to make some dev games again this season. Any word whether our games will still mainly be at Oriam?

Looks like 433 is going to be our custom formation right through the levels. Glad the keeper bounced back well.

Apparently Smith was hailed as "the new Gareth Bale", when he broke through at first.


Sounds ominous.

Wheat Hound, I didn’t ask, but not sure we’ll need the Oriam other than for the Reserve League Cup games. Most of the home friendlies will be played at East Mains I’d have thought

4-3-3 attacking
4-5-1 defending

The saves were outstanding by Martin today but I do worry he's too small. Yes you can name me small keepers who have been successful but I'm just surprised we don't have more keepers on the books.

At the weekend we couldn't name a full bench ?

Then today Combe is on the bench ?!

Dabrowski played for Cowdenbeath on Saturday, and will play again tomorrow which is why he wasn't involved today. And given you're only permitted 3 subs in the League Cup, surely six subs was more than enough on Saturday?

Four 'keepers taking part in first-team training sessions - Marciano, Maxwell, Dabrowski and Martin. More than enough IMO.

[Craig_HFC]

I was pretty impressed by the ginger boy in midfield for us, number 12 (Yeats?). Looks a really tidy player.

Steven Bradley looks like he’s got really quick feet when he’s got the ball too.

Number 7 looked decent too, very quick.

I also thought their number 4 in midfield was very good.
