Nisbet - Potential new contract

[Brightside]

I see Burke is no longer in Sheff. Utd plans and they were in talks with Middlesboro late in the transfer window but obviously couldn't come to an agreement.
Re Phillips, not wanting to play for Scotland is news to me. Big, strong and playing well for the top Championship club. 30 years old with 16 caps but don't think he will get a look in from Clarke. Was about at the start of the Clarke reign when we got a few painful shoeing's from Belgium and Russia.
Shankland is as slow as Nisbet so he won't get in
Tony Watt is a good shout. Has played well for over a season now. Putting in the effort week in week out now. Pleased for the guy as he really was considered a figure of fun. Still has a bit to go to get considered for Scotland.

Nisbet is now slow?? I’m starting to wonder why we bought this lad. Slow, lazy, poor attitude. What next? A hearts ST holder.

[Tyler Durden]

I think his record is 10 goals in 39 matches this calendar year.

I was working to games he's started. Hasn't started more than 30 games

The lazy and bad attitude comments by folk are unjustified and baseless.
All I am saying is that he does not have the pace to run away from defenders.
He is powerful with good feet but he is not quick.

[Since452]

Burke isn’t injured. Just not being picked. Phillips doesn’t want to play for Scotland and is no longer being considered. The only other alternative was Shankland who got replaced by Nisbet in the squad as a result of a poor season last season.

Only alternative is Tony Watt. If he carries on as he is now and Nisbet does likewise, I can see him replacing Nisbet in the squad.

Wonder how Shankland is getting on over in Belgium?

Wonder how Shankland is getting on over in Belgium?

His team, Beerschot, are bottom of the league with 0 wins.

He's played 3 times and scored 0 according to wiki.

[Winston Ingram]

Wonder how Shankland is getting on over in Belgium?

Been involved in 5 games, started 0 scored 0

He's died on his arse and spiralling into oblivion.

[Peevemor]

Remember, like Nisbet, he can still be doing work for his team despite those numbers.

You can't help yourself can you?

And for what it's worth his team are bottom of the league with 1 point from 9 matches and a -15 goal difference.

Nisbet & Hibs are doing slightly better.

Yep imo his form fell off a cliff last season.

Great header today. Hope he gets himself on a wee run of goals now.

[B.H.F.C]

Today could have been massive for him, should have been a scorer in a result at Ibrox. Instead, because of a diabolical decision, he spent the next hour running about without getting a kick and I almost forgot about his goal!

[JimBHibees]

Good to see him scoring an excellent goal hopefully put him on a run of goals for us.

Both Nisbet and Doidge aren't doing too badly, so far, in comparison with previous strikers who made between 50 and 100 appearances for the club.

[superfurryhibby]

Delighted for Nisbet that he scored, just a shame that the sending off intervened.

Hopefully this will spark a run of form and hopefully the goals will flow. He is having to adapt his game to the current set up. Given his football intelligence, I think he will do this just fine and silence his critics ( he certainly has here :greengrin) up and go on from strength to strength.

Where does Keith Wright sit in this lot given the timeframe?
Edit, if it’s only 50-100 I see why he’s not there!

The late great Joe McBride was the Daddy 58 goals in 91 appearances = 64%

Shudda played more but wouldn’t move thru from the Weedge and IIRC had quite a few goals wrongly ruled out for offside

Legend!

How come he doesn’t feature in the above stats in that case, I wonder? Too early?

Probably

I didn't use Joe McBride Snr as an example as he was on a different level from those listed and also most folk made comparisons to Nisbets' scoring record / ability by judging him against more recent players. I did add Joe Harpers' details as he was the closest example to making 100 appearances.

There are loads of ways to look at stats and loads of players who could be compared but I chose those with between 50-100 appearances with the exception of Joe Snr who was, in my opinion, streets ahead of the rest.

I just about remember Joe McBride at Hibs, he scored loads of goals and was terrific for us. Am i right in saying he was let go by the smellies because he was a bit injury prone, and who replaced him at Parkhead?

I think he was considered injury prone but the soapies loss was our gain thankfully. I think Celtic bought Tommy Callaghan from somewhere like Dunfermline or Raith Rovers to replace Joe?

[BILLYHIBS]

Joe McBride’s goal scoring record with Celtic was even more impressive scoring 86 goals in 94 games

When he returned from injury Stevie Chalmers and Willie Wallace had formed a partnership upfront that would see Celtic champions of Europe

JoeMcBride could not get his place back and lucky for us after losing Colin Stein to Der Hun he was sold to HIBS

Don’t think he was injury prone. He had a very bad knee(I think)injury which I’m pretty sure meant he missed half a season although he was still the top scorer in the league at the end of the season. I thought Celtic were nuts to let him go.

[A Hi-Bee]

I was just a wee bit young to remember Baker in his prime, but Joe Snr was a goal machine and very good player, just a pity it all went tits up with T. Hart at the end. Him and Gerd Muller of W. Germany best goal scorers I seen.:aok:

[Mr. Wonderful]

Ramirez isn’t any better than Nisbet as a lone striker. Boyce has more goals but these are all penalties and absolutely nothing to do with being an effective lone striker, which is the discussion. If you want to argue Boyce is a better penalty taker then it’s fair and history shows he’s better than Nisbet. On overall play, open play goals and being part of the team they are pretty similar.

Please give your reasons for why Ramirez and Boyce are any better instead of lashing out when folk challenge your opinion.

Bump. Ramirez 1-0 Kevin Hibsedit

[RossScott1991]

Would take cummings back in a heartbeat at hibs.

Has a personality and scores against the hearts

[Mr. Wonderful]

Go and take a ****ing hard look at that comment and ram up your ****ing inbox. Absolute **** to take time out of your day to post that.

Not ashamed. Nisbet without penalties is Kamberi on valium
