Time we started talking about Rocky..

[California-Hibs]

The guy is brutal. So clumsy and always has a mistake in him. Quicker his loans up the better for me because we're needing much much better than him for next season!

Should never have been here at all. We would have been as well plodding on with McGregor.

[Hiber-nation]

To think folk moaned about McGinn as well. Rocky is hopeless.

[Bostonhibby]

I very rarely single out our own players once the jerseys on, but I'll share this one.

The Rocky guy is hilarious, looks like a non league defender who didnt get in from a stag do until 3 hours before KO.


Maybe hes just been having a few bad games or injured.....

He’ll be great for us in the Championship next year when we go down. Give the lad time :wink:

[PiemanP]

Bad on the ball, positionally all over the place and has a less than great disciplinary record in his short time here.

The thing that worries me the most is that this is very much a Maloney signing. He knew about him and thought he was of the standard required to play his desired brand of passing football. Can we trust this guy to make more signings?

[Pretty Boy]

Like most of our signings since the jobs for the family policy was implemted, he's pish.

[LithgaeHibby]

Wish we’d learned our lessons from the Fenlon era of signing loan players who are out of favour at their parent club. There’s a reason for that…

[1875Sean]

People went on about Maloney not having his players but him and Henderson were defo his signings, both have been Colin Nish, can’t take him on next season, will be better players out there no a free

[neil7908]

Doesn't look like a footballer. He's a on loan right?

[madhatter]

No point digging in on him but he's not good enough.

[hibee1875]

Never seen someone as tall head the ball so badly

[Jones28]

I didn’t think he was so bad. I think our general lack of anything in the second half was our main issue.

[overdrive]

His timing jumping is shocking, like the rest of his play. A woeful player.

[Iggy Pope]

Disastrous
Seen it before so many times.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Get rid asap, take Hanlon with you, powder puff as per.

[ZitellZeTime]

First couple of games I thought he looked a bity rusty which was understandable and was thrown in at the deepend and thought he did ok. But he seems to have got worse the more fitness and match sharpness he's got rather than better. Shows how wrong I am at spotting a player.

Clumsy is the exact word I, I couldn't actually think of one myself.

[Rondon]

Defo looked a bit shakey today

[Smartie]

He looks like a raw, fairly obscure youth player that has been chucked in at the deep end and has to play every week because he’s got the physique of a footballer and there are no alternatives. Under those circumstances you might cut him a bit of slack.

For someone who has played for a decent nation at U21 level, shown enough to be signed by a Premier League club and presumably scouted by us, he’s absolutely nowhere near the quality required.

If we don’t cut his deal short at the end of the season then someone needs their head examining.

Sorry.

[AL-Qaholik]

When asked about Sibbick, Maloney said “Rocky was always my number 1 target”.
Says it all.

[IberianHibernian]

First half was the worst he`s played since arriving but to his credit he did well in the second half . Other young players might not have recovered so well .

[Since452]

Maloney pushed to sign him. Can't wait for the summer window...

[skyehibee]

Terrible today. Half asleep the whole game

[SHODAN]

At least he won't be starting next week.

[Callum_62]

He was poor today although I dont think any of his mistakes lead to anything

Not as bad as this thread is making out for me

WE also need to somehow get Stevenson in,the team needs players who are not gutless and truly care for the team.

[A Hi-Bee]

Did you ever see Tony Higgins play, but you are correct he is not good enough just now for a Hibs team struggling to win any one of the next 5 or 6 battles.

[hhibs]

Rocky had a terrible game but in every game I have watched he seems to targeted for fouls with no protection from refs,and ,I think is caring knocks.
To me it was clear at about 40 mins he had again been crocked,he needed subbed then and Stevenson brought on.


As usual the management team made the wrong move,

[Northernhibee]

He’s ****ing atrocious.

Not just about today though.

Over a dozen or so games he’s not been good enough.

That’s a fair number games to makes a judgment over, and I accept that there were one or two decent performances in there with the average and pish.

The challenge in which he picked up a knock should’ve been a foul against him. He jumped aimlessly at Boyce and made a mess of it

[Hibby Bairn]

End loan now. Brutal.

Thankfully Porto will be back next week so he should drop out

Yeah he might be coming to the end of his career but in the here and now we look soft.

And Lewis in the midfield too.

I laughed at this more than I should.

[Currie Hibee]

What worries me is Maloney knew him from his Belgium days. I thought Maloney wanted players who can keep possession and pass. He can do neither!

[Not In The Know]

Seen it before so many times.

Rocky is pish. Hanlon, one half of every diabolical Hibs defence for the last 10 years. And as dull as dishwater. Zero inspiration for the so called young guns in our team.

[Crab apple]

Creative midfielders might be able to get away without knowing how to head the ball but for a centre half it’s a serious failing.

[Stevie Reid]

Rocky isn’t good enough and the idea of paying a fee to sign him permanently is ridiculous.

[Inconsequential]

Rocky? Very. :agree:

[MKHIBEE]

Add Rocky to the list of those who need to be moved on or loan cancelled

First goal he was nearly standing at the corner flag

Honking , when is Porto back plz say next week?

[Greencore]

Thank god its only a loan.

A few of us have been talking about him for nearly 2 months !
Tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he is just not good enough. He can’t even time his jumps FFS
He is not a very good footballer.

Reminds me a wee bit of Benny Brazil, just another target, but he has not been very good, for sure.

[Unseen work]

Don’t think he’s as bad as others make out.

But, I find it bizarre Maloney signed him as a right of a back 3 centre half who he said was really good on the ball.

His timing/heading ability also infuriates me.

Not good enough.

Him and Jasper I’d be binning at the end of the season if we’re not tied into it.
Terrible players.

Other than Porteous, Newell, Stevenson and Melkersen I think I’d try and get rid of every one of them.

He is not a very good footballer.We`re in early April . A couple of months ago , he`d just joined us after playing very few matches in previous year . Like several others who we signed in January he was probably not intended to be a regular starter but tremendous injury list plus Porteous suspensions have meant he has played regularly . I thought he had a terrible first half at Tynecastle but showed great maturity for his age in the second half and certainly wouldn`t write him off yet .

[500miles]

Rocky is a young player with limited experience getting chucked into an injury riddled team, playing a very demanding style of football. He's got improvement in him and when he joined we certainly lost less goals. He's not the problem, and I'm not convinced individual players are. Except James Scott, what happened to the dynamic, powerful forward that ended Tom James' time at Hibs? Utter garbage.

I’d absolutely hate playing alongside Jasper. So greedy on the ball, runs into trouble and has no final product at all. Barely a tenth of the footballer he thinks he is.

Agree. He’s had a lot of praise but I think he is absolutely rotten.

Seems a fairly grounded guy to me?
