His team lost 5-1 today. Dead as a club.

Tbf I listened to that interview and enjoyed it

[H18 SFR]

That was a really good watch.

[BILLYHIBS]

Interesting watch

Some 5-a-side team

Always thought he's a good lad, another decent interview.

I'd take him back.

[lyonhibs]

I'd take him back.

Immediately. All he did was be a menace from set pieces, score some absolute bangers and have a great range of passing. Crazy we let him go when we currently can't create bugger all.

[Coco Bryce]

I'd take him back.

Is he available?

Great interview, sounds like a lovely lad.

We needs goals from someone and he could score them…

[heretoday]

He's better than what we have right now.

https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/stevie-mallan-tips-hibs-silverware-22002802Despite not ever really being his biggest fan I have to say he comes across like a genuinely nice guy. Wish him all the best in Turkey.

:agree::agree::agree:

He didn't run about enough for some of the experts on here though:wink:

[Key West]

Couldn't believe we let him go.

[Stuart93]

Mallan wasn’t good enough when given his chance. Rightfully moved on.

[MWHIBBIES]

All he actually did was not score a free kick for over 2 years before leaving, give the ball away and get run past.

We were more than correct to let him go. No drive, no pace, couldn't beat a man, rarely played a defence splitting pass. Allan was out with a major heart condition and Mallan still couldn't get a kick.

[Key West]

Disagree.

[blackpoolhibs]

Another player who couldn't get in the side and released/sold who's suddenly better than he was when here.:rolleyes:

[LaMotta]

He's not better than when he was here - what he is better than is most of the dross we have available right now.

Hyperbolic drivel.

[blackpoolhibs]

Of course he is. :rolleyes:

[LaMotta]

Of course he is. :rolleyes:

He's a better option than Drey Wright, Gogic, and James Scott. He'd be a better option than Newell the way he is playing right now as well.

[MWHIBBIES]

Hyperbolic drivel.

Couldn't get near the team under Ross for those reasons. Now in relegation trouble in Turkey. Nice guy, great shot, poor footballer.

[Northernhibee]

I loved Mallan in his first season with us but he was absolutely ***** after that. Baffled by some of the posts on here.

[LaMotta]

Do you think he is a better option than Drey Wright or James Scott?

[blackpoolhibs]

He's a better option than Drey Wright, Gogic, and James Scott. He'd be a better option than Newell the way he is playing right now as well.

Of course he's just what we need, someone who couldn't oust Drey wright, Gogic and Newell. :faf:

[SHODAN]

Mallan has a great shot on him but unfortunately wasn't at our level.

The derby against Hearts a few seasons ago pretty much sums him up - wonder goal to give us the lead, but didn't do much else and we lost 2-1.

[MWHIBBIES]

Do you think he is a better option than Drey Wright or James Scott?

All 3 are rubbish honestly. And no, because he plays a completely different position.

[LaMotta]

Of course he's just what we need, someone who couldn't oust Drey wright, Gogic and Newell. :faf:

Him leaving was a joint decision. He is not the greatest player in the world but he'd be a better option than them right now.

[LaMotta]

Mallen is miles better than the other two.

Doesn't matter about their exact positions, it's about what they could contribute to the team as an option.

He really isn't mate. Apart from a great shot, he offered nothing.

He put us in a match winning position in a derby and then was let down by trumpets like Josh Vela and Maxwell.

[Peevemor]

He really isn't mate. Apart from a great shot, he offered nothing.The poorest part of his game is his tackling which was generally badly timed and resulted in bookings. His link up play wasn't as good as Allan, Newell or JDH and if teams closed him down to stop him getting shots away then it vastly diminished his overall contribution.

It's a shame because he always gives his all and seems like a good guy.

[MWHIBBIES]

No. Mallan scored. The other 89 minutes he was useless. Thats the problem with him.

[LaMotta]

He really is "mate". How can you seriously think he is as bad as Drey Wright.:confused:

He offered more than nothing ( there is your hyperbole) including as good a set piece/crossing delivery as there's been in last few years as well as decent creativity. Not at Scott Allan's level but still not bad and better than anything available now.

He is not better than anything available now, because Allan is still here.

He offered nothing when he wasn't scoring, which was getting rarer and rarer. Speaks volumes that your only comparison for him is Drey Wright, another player who isn't good enough.

As I say, rightfully moved on and now losing every week in Turkey.

[LaMotta]

The problem with you is your lack of objectivity and desire to exaggerate everything.

I disagree:aok:

[MWHIBBIES]

Oh bore off. There is nothing to be objective about. He is not anywhere near good enough for a top 3/4 Hibs side. Thats a fact.

He scored a few goals, mainly against part time sides and lower league sides, and folk think that excuses his very poor play otherwise. Thankfully Ross has more brains. Literally, the manager who knows more about him than anyone moved him on.

Yeah because Jack Ross has got everything right in his time here - good shout:aok:

No, but he doesn't judge centre mids on a few screamers against a part time Faroe side.

You are not capable of fair and balanced analysis. :nanawave:

[Hibee Mac]

You are not capable of fair and balanced analysis. :nanawave:You've hardly given a fair and balanced analysis either though have you?

Example - want to make Mallan come across better than he really was, therefore compare him to Drey Wright to make a point. We all know Wright is crap so that doesn't really prove anything.

Compare him to Allan, Newell, JDH, Murphy etc and it's a different story.

Mallan was good enough to be an impact sub for us, and he still would be now, but understandably he wanted more game time and so left for Turkey.

[Allant1981]

Wasnt the greatest player in the world but certainly not a bad player, would he be playing in front of magennis, JDH or newell, probably not so was best for both to leave at the time, if we had more players fit just now i doubt anyone would think he could do a job for us

If you read my previous posts I compared him to four current players, including Newell. It's not just about Drey Wright, but the fact he is totally crap and we are having to use him actually proves the point. We have let Mallen go - but we don't have a midfielder available right now who can create or score. Magennis injury not helping of course and Allan out also not helping - but that's why you need a decent sized squad.

I don't think he is a great all round player, I don't think he is what we need long term. He lacks mobility which is an issue. His early form tailed off. But he can also score goals out of nothing and create goals as well ( and not just against part time Faroes teams). I think people forget the need to score goals to pick up points.

I think that is quite a fair assessment. Even if you don't think so, its certainly a lot fairer than saying he offered absolutely nothing apart from the occasional shot against part time opposition.

Fair enough, apologies if I didn't read all of your previous points.

I used to find myself thinking when he was here that there must be a system we can fit him into where we can extract his goals and others will make up for his downfalls. Unfortunately we found out that it just wasn't possible at Hibs. I don't think he can play in a well functioning midfield.

No probs bud. I think you are probably right. Looking back at the Scottish Cup Final though when one nil down and we all knew we were never scoring - he'd be as good an option as anyone to have got us back into that match.

Its only a fair assessment if you thnk we can keep every player who might do something in an emergency like we have now, and we dont move players on to make room for others the manager and his team want.

[LaMotta]

I would say its a fair assessment of his ability regardless of the other points you make.

I think he still would be useful here and may have made a difference in second half of last season. Ultimately that's because our recruitment hasn't been good enough though.

[lord bunberry]

I liked him, but he’s not coming back so the arguments are pointless.

[Iggy Pope]

No, but he doesn't judge centre mids on a few screamers against a part time Faroe side.

I was in the Faroes that night and speaking for myself, I’m glad Stevie Malian was as well

[A Hi-Bee]

Steve Mallan is a good football player, it did not work out 100% at Hibs, but thats all part of the game, he is I am pretty sure a far better football player than any here on this forum, so all I will say is good luck to the guy he is living the dream.

:aok:

LaMotta you are wasting your time and will just get hammered into submission.
