Kevin Dabrowski

[-Jonesy-]

Three huge saves one on one tonight and one crucial save from a pass back he had to make (cheers rocky). Looked a decent shot stopper if nothing else, not an easy way to make your debut.

[Northernhibee]

Keeps the gloves by far.

[Vault Boy]

Keeps the gloves. Well done Kevin.

[Diclonius]

Has to keep his place after that.

[chasitup]

Solid debut.

[sleeping giant]

Great performance from him.
Keeps the gloves.

[kentao]

Great performance from Kevin, needs to keep the gloves. Some of his saves were outstanding.

[Pretty Boy]

Done really well. Daft breakdown in communication for the FK but otherwise solid.

We may as well see what we have with him between now and the summer.

[Hfc_Since1875]

Well played young man 👏🏻

[King conrad]

He was outstanding

[Bridge hibs]

Good to see Dabrowski get his chance, has bloody quick feet 😵

[Unseen work]

He had some very good saves also some very eccentric saves with him trying to push it out - on another day it might come back to bite him

But it never.

Congratulations on your debut Kev, great performance for a young keeper playing his first game at this level and first competitive game in what 8 months?

[cameronw-hfc]

Was in tears at the end. Clean sheet in a derby at home for an academy product is about is big a moment as it gets for him.

[we are hibs]

Fair play to him. Thought he was a bit nervy first half with a couple of crosses but made some big saves 2nd half.

A pretty busy clean sheet too

[JohnM1875]

Be mental to drop him now. Especially after the howler for Livi's first on Saturday.

Macey had an outstanding first derby this season and kept a clean sheet with two absolute worldy saves mind

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Played brilliantly

I remember Rocky getting injured but coming straight back in to starting 11 when fit, I don't think Macey has done enough to cement the number one position so keeps the gloves even if Macey is back at the weekend

Brilliant. Dick Campbell always says that players play themselves into a team and they play themselves out of a team and Kevin has played himself into the team tonight. Gloves are his for the forseeable.

Fantastic young man, can be proud of himself. We're proud of him.

[JohnM1875]

I'll be honest, if he doesn't keep his place on Saturday I'll be a wee bit annoyed.

The place in the team is his to lose now.

[One Day Soon]

Great interview too. Lovely guy, great keeper. Give him the jersey.

[OldEast]

No chance Macey would’ve kept a clean sheet tonight.

Not even playing and still the negativity.
Agree with everything said about Dabrowski. Nervous start but grew in confidence. Kept us in the game and must keep the gloves.

[Eaststand]

Well played KD, a motm performance 👍

GGTTH

[Greencore]

Could tell he was nervous, but honestly. I would start him every game. Very big potential, I like him.

Also for what it's worth, we finally have a goalie who can kick the bloody ball upfield!!!

[The 90+2]

Take a bow my pal.

MW was right :aok:

[Vault Boy]

Really lovely post-match interview on Sky Sports. What a deserving young man.

[EdinMike]

Massive. In a derby ? Well played !

[Mick O'Rourke]

With the mood and atmosphere amongst a lot of supporters in the past few weeks,it was crucial we did not lose tonight.
The banner said "Fight for the Badge"
The defending at that free kick inside the box illustrated that they did just that.
Kevin in goal was tremendous.
He looked like he had been our number one for ages
Superb display and saves.

Oor Ryan !!?
Heart of a lion that laddie has.
Not short on skill either.

[A Hi-Bee]

He can be well pleased with his game tonight, saved us from ourselves a few times, well done the new goalie.

Did he not play well in a friendly vs Celtic? Can't remember what season butnnever really had a chance.

Can be proud of his performance.

Was good against Arsenal pre-season as well. Think he should get a run of games now.

[random sub]

Well done KD. And to be honest, it looked like a dodgy attempt at a pass back by Rocky rather than any mistake or communication problem by him.

[WhileTheChief..]

Fantastic interview on Sportsound just now. Really impressed with him.

[lyonhibs]

Dawdled coming out for a bouncing ball in the first half but otherwise my MOTM. In a 0-0 game a keeper that makes those saves must be MOTM for me

[hibbyfraelibby]

Not that I told you so but told you so...

[weecounty hibby]

He was OK. Made a couple of good saves but he is shocking with the ball at his feet. Certainly no better than Macey for me. Well done to him though, clean sheet isn't to be sniffed at

[lyonhibs]

I genuinely think there's no way Macey saves that back pass from Rocky late on. I'd be given Dabrowski a run out after tonight for sure.

[vincipernoi]

Not disagreeing with you, you could be right, but can you tell me some of the 'shocking' things he done with his feet. I genuinely don't recall any that I would describe as shocking

His kicking was very poor, often not even getting past the hearts midfield. It was also clear to me that the defence were very reluctant to pass it back to him. As I say he did OK but I'm not getting carried away that we have the new Peter Shilton. Youngsters will need to look that one up

Well done Kev, should be proud. Watched his interview and he seems humble. His place to lose from now as far as I’m concerned.

[Turkish Green]

The Emperor Napoleon would say when appointing a general "do not tell me he is good, tell me he is lucky". Dabrowski is lucky. Should keep the gloves.

That's an amazing interview. Genuine rather than the normal rubbish.

[lord bunberry]

I’ve been saying it for months now, he’s the best keeper at the club.

[Rumble de Thump]

Was a foul awarded against him for handling the ball from a backpass? It seemed like he had to make a diving one handed save, which couldn't be considered a backpass. Maybe I just didn't see it properly.

[Ronniekirk]

Has to keep his place after that.

[bingo70]

I was a wee bit emotional watching that interview, well done to him, he should be proud of himself as he’s had to bide his time and obviously work hard. It would have been easy for him to give up and join a lesser club.

I’m looking forward to seeing his second half saves, sat in the famous five it’s hard to judge properly what happens at the other end (I hate it 😂), my jambo mates were spewing with him though so he obviously did well.

If I’m going to be overly critical, I think he was a bag of nerves in the first half and that contributed to his poor kicking. He did the right thing though; loads of keepers ruin their careers early by making bad judgement calls trying too hard to make themselves look brilliant as they might not get another chance any time soon. He was clearly a bit uneasy so he took the safe option and got the ball away from the goals.

He’ll play on Saturday and be a lot calmer now, I’m sure of it.

Surely has to be deemed a back pass? Rocky was trying to play the ball back to our keeper, he clearly over hit it and Kev had to make the save to stop it being an own goal?

[Danderhall Hibs]

Some great saves, interview was magic.

We can pick up on his kicking another day.

[Hibee Mac]

Can't help but love the guy, really happy for him.

Maloney definitely have him licence to kick the ball long given he's dropped into the starting 11. Ironically I actually think that worked well for us as we were way more direct in the first half with some good possession in their half.

I wonder if he will be able to adapt to Maloney's passing game, but I really hope he can as he deserves his chance with us.

[hibbysam]

Does anyone know the rule regarding the back pass? As a keeper I honestly thought he was going to be sent off for a deliberate handball denying a clear goal. Heard the studio mention that he couldn’t be sent off for that, just not sure of the actual rule. Decent to know now for myself going forward though 😂

[SMAXXA]

Delighted for Kev brilliant debut. In all honesty I think the saves he made Macey would have made them aswell and would expect a keeper to save them and that’s not meant to take away from him as for his debit he did brilliant.

[easty]

Deserved to play. Should keep the gloves.

[B.H.F.C]

Gloves are his to lose IMO. He’s been patient, deserves a chance to show if he’s up to it.

One handed stop of the ball that is goal bound from a player of own team is seen as a pass back. Doesn’t have to be a pick up.

Macey must be out for a while which give him a chance to get the position.

Looked a wee bit nervous in the 1st 15 mins but grew into the game and made some tremendous saves, looked comfortable with his feet and kicking, I noticed he was shouting and pointing a lot at the defence, which is good, he keeps the gloves for me.

[B.H.F.C]

Think we need to give him a chance to keep the gloves. We’re bringing a lot of young players from abroad in to the development set up, we need to show them that there is a pathway and that they’ll get an opportunity when it’s earned rather than just because we’re forced to play them. Obviously they do need to earn it, but if we put a young striker in and he scored he’d more than likely keep his place, same should apply to a goalie keeping a clean sheet and getting MOTM.

Some very good saves in 2nd half, a bit fortunate that Simms put his header over the bar in first half after he pushed Boyce’s shot straight out in front of him. If the header had gone in, think that would have gone down as an error.

Overall though, a very good debut and he should start on Saturday. Although I remember Chris Reid having an excellent debut at Dunfermline and Goram coming straight back in (not that Macey is in Goram’s league).

Nice to see him taking the time to do his own wee lap of honour, similar to Budgie!

Certainly looked the part. He should be in again for the next game.

[h185forever]

He could’ve been sheeeeite last night, but was absolutely brilliant, and I wouldn’t have cared.

His after match interview brought a tear to my glass eye and he’d deserve the gloves on Saturday for that alone.
I wish we could hear more interviews like that from our players.

Kevin clearly gets the club, the honour it is to play for the badge and is truly appreciative of how the club have developed him as a player and for me …more importantly…a man !.

Gets player of the coming year Now for me….made me so proud to be a Hibbie last night.
