Big Chris doidge war of attrition💪🏻

[tonyrougier123]

Absolutely class today,worked Aberdeen hard in their own half superb for me.

[Northernhibee]

Their defenders found their match. Good performance.

[MWHIBBIES]

Very good. Hope he gets himself a goal or two soon but his general play has been vital.

[CMac1988]

Gives his all every game. Deserves a goal.or two for his efforts in recent weeks. Hopefully finds the net soon.

Graeme Thewliss on last Monday's Terrace podcast, "Just play Doidge, because Doidge f***s up defenders."

[Since452]

Love the guy.

[Inch joe]

Big guy had a great game

[weecounty hibby]

Big man works his ease of for the team. Total team player, hope he gets a goal soon as he deserves to go on another wee run of scoring

[Alfred E Newman]

He is frustrating to watch at times but there is no doubt that for a defender he must be murder to play against. He never stops roughing them up and that eventually creates chances for others. A great shift today.

[The 90+2]

He gives 100% every single week. Some time it works for him sometimes it doesn't but you can't every fault his work rate and he never hides.

[Vault Boy]

You can tell he really needs a goal, but despite that, the game would have been much, much tougher without his work and general play.

[Nevi_SOL]

Most unselfish player I’ve seen at Easter road and deserves all the praise towards him

[Roxyhibee]

I’m always been a fan. Defenders nightmare. Said before you have to be in the stadium to really see how hard he works and the gaps he opens for other players. Just seeing games on the screen doesn’t show his value to us.

[Pretty Boy]

He was a bit unlucky with the half chance in the 2nd half. It was a great ball from Irvine but it just came at Doidge a bit quickly and got away from him.

Overall he was excellent. Never shirked a challenge and bullied their back line all day.

[hibbysam]

He’s seriously intelligent as well. The amount of times he came short today dragging defenders out so Boyle could run in behind was unreal. Big mans a hero!

[J-C]

Worked very hard today and allowed others chances because he kept the big defenders busy all game, just needs to add goals to his game but if we keep winning and others score it's not important.

[et_hibby]

Good thread- quite right.

[Northernhibee]

Tell you what, considering we were desperate to get another striker in on deadline day and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth over Hendry and Hornby, what strike force would you rather:

The strength and link up play of Doidge, £3m Kevin Nisbet and four goals in three games Martin Boyle

Or

Horby (who was very poor), Hendry (who I can't recall being on the pitch) and Florian Kamberi?

[Crab apple]

He works so hard and is good for us defensively too with his aerial ability. Loves the physical battle and never stops running.

[Unseen work]

Brilliant from him again, really big fan of his but he really needs to start scoring again.

He doesn’t even have the excuse of not getting chances as he’s missed some guilt edged ones lately.

[hibbysam]

When we’re scoring 2 per game regardless then his all round game brings far more to the table.

[Since452]

Brings far more to the team than goals. Sounds daft for a striker I know he's such a nuisance for defenders, an intelligent one too with a footballing brain. The goals will come but I can let him off as he brings so much to the team.

[JohnM1875]

Outstanding work and effort today. The big guy is class and we're poorer as a team when he doesn't play!

He is a striker though, and needs to start contributing in goals as well.

I'd have Doidge in my team before Flo, Hendry, or Hornby though, that's for sure.

[Hibee Mac]

Always feel better when he's on the pitch, great guy and brings some presence up top. He must be great too play with, others usually play well around him.

I just wish we would work on his finishing more, just a bit more composure and technique when finishing and he'd be brilliant. I get that you can't train natural finishing instinct like Nisbet you might say, but I think Doidge could still do with some finishing technique

m pretty sure they do work on it! Great player, seems like a good guy, works his socks off and generally goes on goal scoring streaks, so I reckon we are due one very soon. :greengrin

Think it’s his balance rather than his finishing. When he’s got a solid base he’s a very good finisher (Dundee United away for example), but everytime he goes through one on one he’s off balance and falling on his arse.

No reason why he can't switch it on and get a streak going. Maybe he's saving it for after the split? [emoji23]

[FilipinoHibs]

Love the Doidge. Impact all over the pitch.
