Without getting into whether Joe Newall deserves it or not, given how average we are I’m surprised so many players have been getting long term deals?
Congrats to Newall either way.

On his day he's arguably our best player. If it wasn't for Hanlon and Stevenson years of service I honestly think he'd be our captain also. I appreciate he's not as consistent as many would like but he's a step above the others in central midfield. Good news.

Joe speaks, his comments there give a lot more insight into a player's happiness than a lot of the other generic statements that come out.

He's one of the better footballers in the team, and if we're looking at the likes of him, Melkerson and Jasper to be key parts of this then it bodes well.

On paper.

I think we’ve toiled a lot in midfield this year and that’s Newell, JDH and Campbell all contracted until 2025 now. Although I do think Newell is the best of the three by a fair bit.

The other two did get their contracts before Maloney came in (I think) but given he’s already spoken about a midfielder being his big priority for the summer, they might not all be around for the duration of the contracts.

On his day a very decent player and the type that will suit the way Maloney wants to play, if Shaun get his No.6 that he wants it'll free up Joe to be more attack minded where he's better.

Not sure I’d have given him a new contract but not bad news. He’s the best midfielder we currently have but I still think he’s possibly closer to being part of the problem than he is to being the solution to our midfield issues. Too much of an “on his day” for the talent he has and what we need in midfield, IMO.

He's very hot and cold.

Those who love Newell can feel justified in doing so as he is occasionally outstanding.

Those who loathe him won't be short of inept performances they can quote.

Personally I don't think I'd be chucking a pile of resource at a player who you never really know when or if he's going to turn up, and I'm far from convinced he merits another contract extension again so soon.

At least he's good some of the time and you have something to work with though.

If Newell played consistently at his “hot” level he’d be playing a much higher level than us…but those of us who rate him can see that even when he is not running the game, how important he is to the team ….

He’s highly regarded across the league. Great extension news for us .

2021/22

Played 29 out of a possible 45 scoring 1

Good on a going day when he can be arsed

Sad indictment of the current situation that he is probably one of our best midfield options

Taking into account all the games when he hasn’t turned up I don’t think I would be looking to offer him anymore than he already had

Anyway will he be fit for the Semi ? :greengrin

I don’t really think Newell does blow hot and cold. He’s pretty consistent, for me, in that he rarely has a bad game but I also don’t think his really good games are as frequent as others do. Most of the time he just does what I’ve come to expect he’ll do.

On balance I'm definitely more pro than con when it comes to Newell and he's had some superb performances for us. Most of his recent performances have been good (allowing for the number of games he's missed lately). The derby at home he was excellent, first half at Fir Park he was top notch. When he's playing well he's a standout and at the centre of everything for us.

The "other games" aren't necessarily stinkers but there are games during which he's very quiet indeed. They're normally weak team performances where he just goes missing. You're wanting him to get involved and take the game by the scruff of the neck but too often they just pass him by. That simply isn't something that happens to "top midfielders" often, but it happens with Newell too much.

I do think that it sometimes boils down to other parts of the team being weak, putting pressure on him. With the right players around him playing consistently better themselves I'm sure we'd see more consistency from him.

Doyle-Hayes is similar FWIW. Occasionally excellent, occasionally anonymous. They both play well enough often enough that you wouldn't want us to be getting rid of either, but they've both been anonymous enough often enough that you sometimes wonder what is up with them.

Delighted.

Very good on the ball, good at winning it back and really strong. Hopefully under Maloney he starts venturing forward more as he 100% has the ability to influence things more in the final third.

The sign of a good player imo is how many opposition fans praise players and he’s one I always hear folk saying is a good player. Whether that’s fans or pundits, they all seem to rate him.

Maloney knows what he’ll get from Newell. Probably never brilliant and probably never terrible but playing to,a reasonable standard most weeks.He’ll use him as Mr Steady but I suspect he’ll be looking to bring someone else in to be the main man in midfield.

He's a Dylan mcgeough type except he doesn't have the drive an energy of a mcginn or the flair or a fit and firing Scott Allan beside him.

He's a very good player but he's not the player that drives a team on and because we don't have that (maybe mcguinness could if he's ever fit?) He looks hot and cold.

All our problems are central midfield. We need to get the balance right in there then the rest will follow.

This is good news IMO. Joe is a quality player albeit that he has inconsistent performances. The day's that he doesn't play that well are also opportunities for those around him to step up and perhaps force him out of the team as they can do better. Maybe we haven't seen enough of that.

Remember seeing joe play his first couple of games and it was clear he didn’t anticipate the quality of our league. Ross Definatley found his best position in the middle. Contracts mean very little these days.

Good news, a player who can be great to watch when he's on his game. Like most on here I wish his consistency was ramped up a wee bit because he does blow hot and cold.

The player I do want to hear news of is Magennis. For that all too brief spell where he was fit he was beginning to show exactly why we were so keen to sign him, but after two extremely lengthy spells out injured he's on the brink of making Dylan McGeough look like Mr Consistency and a player who will never make anything of his undoubted potential.

If we are looking for excuses all the time, then yes we can blame injuries. It is wearing a bit thin tho. Every team has injuries through out the season and get on with it. We keep hearing we have a far better squad than St Mirren/Ross County/Livingston and yet we're in a similar position to them.

I didn't compare him to mcginn or Allan. I said he didn't have that calibre next to him. The point is without them mcgeough would have looked a lesser player.

Newell is a good player but until we sort the balance our, he'll look like he blows hot and cold.

Don't tell my Mrs, or she'll say you were wrong too.

He’s a very classy and clever footballer. Couldn’t stand him when he first joined us, but has completely won me over and delighted he’s extended his contract with us. Just need Magennis back in there as well - he’s a huge miss for us.

:agree:

Struggling to think of a better Hibs redemption arc than that of Newell.

I really want Magennis back.

Happy with Joe signing on. He will only get better when we settle things a bit then start to progress next season.
What is the current situation with him, gone awful quiet re his recovery progress.

Not sure I’d have given him a new contract but not bad news. He’s the best midfielder we currently have but I still think he’s possibly closer to being part of the problem than he is to being the solution to our midfield issues. Too much of an “on his day” for the talent he has and what we need in midfield, IMO.

Totally agree with this.

Not really, have a look at the league table.
We are on a par with St Mirren, Livingston and Ross County.
I rate Ryan Porteous but not so sure his career is going the right way.
Surely this forum is all about different opinions. I can't come on and say I rate JDH, Newell, Doidge etc when I don't.
I may be wrong but I'm not so sure the club is a happy camp at the moment.
Two derbies coming up which are huge.
I'd love to think we have the players available to compete.

He did pretty well until heading off injured.
Remember the two games are away from Easter Road.

I don’t think some of your points are that wide of the mark about the quality of some players. But when you talk about competing in the derbies, surely if you’ve watched the two we’ve played this season you’d have to acknowledge wr have. I think we will again, whether we have the quality in the final third is a different story.

Sadly that's my opinion on the current lot.
I rate Ryan Porteous and feel Josh Doig is young enough to have a decent career.
I do enjoy reading your positive reports each week however.

I disagree and think he is overrated on this site.
For goodness sake we need better than Joe Newell if we are to progress.
One post on this thread reckons he is class - deary me we are settling for mediocrity.
When did he last score a goal?

Overrated is spot on. He was available on a free transfer last summer and nobody wanted to sign him on a free so if he is as good as the support makes out then he would've been away..

I personally don't think he's consistent enough ,c certainly a good player technically but a 1 good game in 5 player and Hibs need a lot better than that....

I’m happy he’s signed a new deal. I do think he could be more consistent but when he’s at the top of his game he’s one of the best in the league outside of the top two.

It's nothing to do with that , it's because he was the best player on the park and made at least 3 saves that stopped them for scoring.

As for depth of thought , how deep do you want to go here ??

In your opinion..many on here noted his good performance but recognised Porto and Newell were better at the time…

Don’t want to get into any further depth with you. IMO you deliberately bring nothing to this board other than negative noise. You revel in it…and obviously don’t understand what players like Newell bring to the team….

Re Magennis I think we’re trying to be quiet so fans don’t get too excited and heap pressure on him.

That said, him and Clarke, even Mitchell being back would add huge impetus to our play. All 3 are direct and run beyond the opposition.
