Great performance today. For balance to the other threads today.

[Beefster]

Look at me.

[Shanksaidno]

What game were u at ... he got mugged by the donkey umpteen times

[B.H.F.C]

Did fantastically at the first goal.

[Sammy7nil]

Look at me.

Sorry can't see you :confused:

Apart from getting ragdolled at the first goal by the big dumpling??

I actually thought he was our best player today. That isn't saying much mind.

Correct. Scott Allan hardly touched the ball second half. But MoM

[CloudSquall]

Needs to redo his man up course, back to being soft as *****.

[hfc rd]

You must be related to him or something because you’ve been defending him for months when it’s clear as a day he looks nothing like the player he was before that injury.

Ikpeazu was bossing him all game the moment he realised he was struggling to get the better of Ryan Porteous and decided to go over to Paul’s side. Porteous is the only one at the back that deserved pass marks today.

[we are hibs]

Porteous had the better of ikpeazu. Ikpeazu went onto hanlon and dominated him. Not a coincidence.

I respect your posts, obviously youre not trolling but I watched him fairly closely and I thought he was all o er the place positional and seemed to actually give up on Ikpeazu at one point. We all see things differently I suppose, as I see from the Marciano thread!

He didn’t boss him in the slightest. Hanlon won the majority of the 1:1. That’s a clear fact.

That was Porteous and the big dumpling had hands full of his shirt pulling him to the ground.

LOL. Made shop front of it for the first goal. Hanlon lovers won’t ever see anything bad though. Happy clapping at its finest.

[danhibees1875]

:agree:

He was okay, not much more. Conceded a soft corner which at 1-0 I think led to the goal, I'm not saying it was his fault for the goal but that's indicative of the way he's been playing recently.

Porteous was the only player I'd go out of my way to say had a good game, and even then it was a 7/10 for losing the battle at their equaliser.

[NC1875]

Proves my point that no matter what he does. He’s amazing

Ragdolled as usual at the first goal. Soft as ***** and never a captain

[Hermit Crab]

He picked out heckingbottom with a fine pass in the first half under zero pressure.

Again. That was Porto.

The amount of times Stevenson waits on the ball rolling towards him then does that stupid wee on the spot shuffle whilst making his mind up does my head in. We really need better if we want to move forward. Sentiment has to go out the window with these players.

[Weegreenman]

Hanlon is very soft. A strikers dream to play against.

[Speedy]

I thought Hanlon had a decent game against Uche

[Fife-Hibee]

Hanlon Stevenson GTF.

I like Stevenson, but his actions were odd in the first half. There were several times when he had the left side of the pitch all to himself when the keeper had the ball and rather than breaking out wide left and calling for it (there were no players directly ahead of him), he would doddle over to the right side where 19 other players were concentrated. Utterly bizarre.

[The 90+2]

Hanlon Stevenson GTF.

Stevenson is a championship player and is struggling big time. No composure or confidence and can’t defend. It’s like he’s been coached by Whittaker.

[Hermit Crab]

Hanlon is effin pish. Replace.

Made a point of watching him in the first half. Out of all the passes he got he played the ball forward twice. The rest went sideways or backwards. Murder.

I’m with you - the big boy was a real handful but Hanlon did well today. As good as I’ve seen him for a while.

[Borderhibbie76]

Hanlon Stevenson GTF.Sadly I agree. Been great servants for us but this looks like a season too far imo. Both were absolutely woeful today and have been all season so far. Lewis is now more of a hindrance going forward than a help

Tactics?

If the tactics are to avoid big empty spaces on the pitch and go over to where the 10 opposition outfield players are, then it's no wonder we're relegation fodder.

Two of the nicest guys you’ll ever hope to meet and if your a Hearts player, play against.
Soft as ***** and devoid of confidence.

Yes. The guy who fouled Porteous for the first and came in from the (Hearts) left for the winner.

Not sure what Hanlon was meant to do about either.

[Since90+2]

He's not a captain and doesn't strike me as the type of person who folk would look to for leadership. That's not a dig at him as most players don't have that quality but he's certainly not captain material.

[Hermit Crab]

Both need replaced.

You have to bear in mind who is playing in front of him this season !! Stevenson is a decent hard grafting left back.. who at the moment is under severe pressure most games because of the limited help he gets from the midfield in front of him.

[The 90+2]

Back in the day, aye.

[The 90+2]

Usually went out for a throw to them after turning back, then forward then back again. God knows what’s happened to him. James is a better option.

He can’t play a forward pass, gets done for pace, barges off the ball and has zero composure. You’re right in there’s nobody ahead of him to place a pass to though to be honest but he’s having a nightmare more times than not now.

[davhibby]

It’s been clear for weeks that Porteous and Jackson would be our best cb pairing. Hanlon needs dropped to give him a reality check. Been terrible for the best part of a year

[Stanton Spence]

Stevenson is a bang average player that far too many of us get teary eyed about cos he's hung about for so long
He ain't a bad player but he's certainly not a superstar

Which is fine. We're not a superstar club. Stevenson plays well in a good team that knows what it's doing. He looks terrible in a bad team that doesn't know what it's doing. People are quick to sing his praises when the whole team is playing well, but they're equally as quick to scapegoat him when the whole team is performing poorly.

Oh dear - were you at the game?

Too slow. Must be dropped

[Stanton Spence]

Which is also fine mate but let's not pretend he's a legend etc he's just an average player when he's got good players besides him if not he's just not a good player at all and actually looks like a nervous wreck the same goes with hanlon
The pair of them have really only looked like fitbaw players when we were in the championship and that's me being brutally honest and trust me it hurts

It's not always that simple. Some players are just brilliant individually. Other players are team players and their performances are highly dependant on the confidence level of the team as a whole.

Well quite.

[familyman]

seems just far too nervous these days..sad really as he has been such a great soldier over the years..just maybe there is something else going on ...whe he is surrounded by underperforming players it does not help.so we should give him some breathing space he has earned that.

[gogsy23]

I thought hanlon done really well with little or no help from the officials given he was constantly being fouled. 2nd goal is deflected so not much he can do, 1st goal couldnt see clearly. Defo worse players than him today thats for sure

[Hibs90]

Hanlon is one of the weakest center halfs I have ever seen

[where'stheslope]

This is a player loads on this forum wanted capped for Scotland?
All players have dips in form, he'll bounce back!
Our problem is to many players are having form dips at the same time, we'll be back!!!

Agreed, I thought I had watched a different Paul Hanlon today after reading some of the posts on here.

[Hiber-nation]

Same as last week, strolling through the game then as soon as real pressure is put on him he crumbles.

Lewis was far worse mind you.

Hanlon of a few seasons/18 moths ago! Sure. Get the laddie capped.

This version of Hanlon? No thank you.

Captain, supposed to lead by example, be a cool head etc. There was one point today where we could have had a break on from a Hearts cross/corner, falls to Hanlon at the edge of the box. Allan makes a forward run into centre mid, in hectares, actual hectares! Hanlon boots it straight out the pitch for a Hearts throw?!

Agree, Lewis had a shocker today!

Which is a shame cause I genuinely love the guy and hate when he has a bad game cause folk on here tend to accentuate it. But even I can't defend him today.

I'm exactly the same. Don't know if it's confidence, fitness or what but he's miles off it.

No forward pass because no one in front of him in space looking for the ball... Done for pace because more often than not he is caught between his man and the one the midfield have left running through on his own. Stevenson has his faults and shortcomings certainly, but at the moment he is one of the first names on the team sheet for me

Probably our most consistent player.

[Coach Jon]

Probably our most consistent player.
he is consistent,as soon as he gets the ball you know exactly what he is going to do with it, spends most of the game passing the ball back to whoever gives him the ball. Counted in the first half today (I know sad) received the ball 21 times, all under no pressure, passed forward 4 times, backwards 17 times.
