IIRC Maloney said in the Longbangers interview that Newell might be available for Aberdeen but everyone else was further away.

(Not sure if Mueller was included in that 'everyone' if he was talking about injuries rather than illness.)

That is disappointing. So many injuries taking a long time to heal. I can't remember that in any previous season and it would be interesting to know if there is a reason or is it just bad luck

Even if the likes of Hanlon and Newell were available to play they’d be well short of match fitness, makes you wonder how much more of a positive input they’ll have this season🤷🏼……I’ve given up hope on Magennis making any contribution.

Hopefully it was an impact injury which didn’t damage his ligaments. They will know when the swelling goes down. Looked a bad tackle at the game as did the second one.

Still images can give the wrong impression but it was a shocking tackle and I would be worried about his knee. At least he had his foot off the ground. How their manager can moaned that it wasn't a red is beyond me.

I could only see his top half as I was up in the Gods. Fingers crossed it is an impact then and if worse probably better it is ankle rather than knee. Such a shame as he was really starting to play well again after a fairly average season. We are due some good luck

"However, the Evening News understands that Doig is able to walk on the affected leg, having suffered an impact injury rather than anything more long term" - translates as "the Evening News also follows Tam McManus on Twitter, as well checking hibs.net every 20 minutes for anything useful".

Any update on Magennis? September was the last time he played!

Maloney said he hoped to have a few back after the international break. If Magennis isn’t part of that group I don’t think we’ll see him again this season.

He’s been here for 17 months and started 19 games for us. The longer time goes on, the harder I find it to imagine a fit Magennis will ever materialise for us.

Not quite the same. He was recovering from a bad injury yes, but he'd played a good amount of football for St. Mirren up until that point. He's barely got going here - his 13 appearances at the start of this season is by far his best run of staying fit for us - but he's been out for the six months since.

The biggest problem is the pattern that's emerged: when he first gets injured, it always seems to be something fairly benign, and he's not expected to be out for long - then it ends up being much longer, and he inevitably hits setbacks on the way.

I'd be less concerned if he'd come back from his knee injury and then took a dull one and then broke his ankle - that would be just bad luck. But I don't even know what his current injury is, or why it's kept him out for nearly a whole season (and with no return seemingly imminent).

We paid a good fee for him and he'll be on a good wage - can't see him going anywhere soon with another 3+ years left on his contract. Of course I hope more than anything that he can come back and fulfil what seems like huge potential - it's just so hard to picture at the moment. The amount of time he's been fit and played well for us is tiny, unfortunately.

He also had a 4 and a half month injury before the one he came here with as well. He was out injured for 432 days spread over 3 seperate injuries over his last 2 seasons at St Mirren.

I would agree though that it may be difficult to find anyone to take him. You’re looking at a guy who is averaging less than 15 league appearances per season over the last 4 seasons with probably a good few of them being sub appearances while trying to get him going again. It’s not worth the risk for smaller clubs than us probably.

If he’s not back in some form of training with the team by the Dundee United game then I’d imagine his season is to all intents and purposes finished.

He has been a disaster. He’s missed god knows how many games and was terrible last season when he was available. Two seasons in and he’s had about 10 good games. Regardless of who’s fault it is, that’s a disaster when he was supposed to be our big signing costing us a fee and being given a long contract.

2 seasons in and I just don’t envisage things changing all that much unfortunately. His last 2 seasons at St Mirren were also decimated by injury so this is 4 seasons in a row now.

Unfortunately some players just aren’t physically capable of the demands of professional football. Hopefully it’s not the case but Kyle looks like he could potentially be one of those players.

Porteous
McGinn

Magennis
Nisbet
Doidge

All out tomorrow. Only Porteous be back for semi with Doidge outside chance but unlikely. That's arguably our top defender, midfielder and both senior strikers

Where we will struggle like we have been is for goals. Going into these games with attacking players, Melkerson, Jasper, Mueller, Henderson - 3 of which haven't scored for us at this level, and none of them at this level v 11 men. Quite something to be in this position though Boyle transfer and injuries to Doidge and Nisbet couldn't have been legislated for. Then will be a look to the bench at Wright & Scott - no goals there either. Just goes to show the size of the task.

None of that to say they aren't capable, they have all at times individually shown promise - Melkerson excellent v Well and 10 men or not excellent goals. Mueller has some experience/reputation and was scoring goals in the States.

We have a punchers chance in these games. It just feels a bit fanciful and we've left ourselves short on the previous recruiment last 2 or 3 windows - striker especially.

When everyone is fit though, he doesn’t fit in the defence and is probably not even first choice back up. If we play 3-5-2, it’s Cadden and Doig as wing backs with Clarke, Porto and Hanlon. I quite like what we did with Doig and Clarke on Saturday too. Was very Tierney-Robertson for Scotland with the two able to interchange.

Agreed he is solid but I don’t feel we miss him.

The defence has been fine since the turn of the year. As highlighted by some, it’s our lack of options up too where the issue lies. Mitchel returning would help and Harry Clark seems a real find.

I just can’t believe the change in our attack from Murphy / Allan / Boyle / Doidge / Nisbet to what it is now. It’s completely unrecognisable for various reasons that we all know.

I think he’s a bomb scare.

The penalty he gave away at ibrox just before he was injured was peak McGinn. Fantastic for us last season but miles off it this. I don’t think he was the technical ability to play the way maloney wants. He panics too much on the ball.

All very quiet on Mitchell.

Dont get me wrong it looked a really sore one at the time but the next week or so he was positing him on the spin bike, admittedly that’s a good cardio activity to do with an injury.

But thought he would at least be back training by now

Aye it’s getting a bit alarming that he seems to just not even get a mention anymore - you’d think if he was close to coming back there would have been some sort of chat. Don’t recall seeing him in any training pictures either.
It’s pretty much gone exactly how my Hearts pals warned me it would - he’d play well, look good and then get injured and be out for ages. Shame.

I met him 1st week in March, he told me he’d be back in 4 weeks
He’s had a lot of injuries last few years as well, you have to hope it’s just the injury he got at Arbroath that’s keeping him out

I think he’s a bomb scare.

The penalty he gave away at ibrox just before he was injured was peak McGinn. Fantastic for us last season but miles off it this. I don’t think he was the technical ability to play the way maloney wants. He panics too much on the ball.

Disagree has been a very good steady player for us imo. Have missed his versatility imo.

If we have Cadden and Clarke then McGinn won't be a starter for us but he's a very good option to have on the bench if he's willing to accept limited game time, which may not be the case as at his age he'll probably want to play as much as he can whilst he still can.

McGinn can play right in a 3, allows Cadden and Clarke to play further up the park
It’s not that long ago that Paul got a Scotland cap, I think he’s still got a lot to offer Hibs

I agree, he's had a load of unjustified criticism on here. Tidy and composed on the ball and you'd think he'd fit into the way Maloney wants us to play.

Also we’ve no idea if Porteous and Clarke will be at Hibs next season. I know we have an option for Clarke for another season, but if someone wants to buy him from Arsenal, he’ll be off
