Chris Cadden

[LaMotta]

The fact so many people think this guy is one of our top performers speaks volumes about how ****in pish we are.

He has an engine but nothing else. Today we are one nil up in first half injury time in a promising position on the right and his pathetic cross basically led to them breaking up the field and scoring. He can't defend, can't attack, all he can do is run.

Symbolic of the lack of quality at Easter Road just now.

[G15 Hibs]

A workmanlike player at best. Dare say he could be useful with decent players around him, but to be talked of as one of our best shows how dismal a situation we're in.

Cadden is a long way from the worst of our problems right now. Embarrassing to start a thread highlighting him.

This. He’s definitely good enough and would be so much more potent if he had players in front of him capable of doing something.

[Mcbizz1998]

I would tend to agree. I have nothing against Cadden and he actually IS one of our best players….. but that the problem.

[Allant1981]

Chris cadden is the least of our problems, agree with the other poster, mental that theres a thread highlighting him

If he'd lost the ball just outside our own penalty area you might have a point. He lost the ball 100 yards away ffs. That goal was down to Hanlon, as was last week's goal.

Cadden loses the ball 80 yards from goal

His fault we went in 1-1 in HT

Genuinely disheartened by how far our standards have fallen. Cadden is such a limited player and is clearly part of the problem . I actually think he is one of our better players - that says it all.

Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalkhe didn’t lose the ball he passed it into the middle with no hibs player there, but agree hanlon should have dealt with the big huddle up front for them.

[The Modfather]

I think there’s a grown up debate to be had about Cadden. Lots to like, has some engine and gets into lots of good positions. However he doesn’t create many goals, scoring or assisting. That’s a a real issue when he’s our sole width on the right.

I could probably change the above from Cadden to Doig. I think, among many others deficiencies in the squad, and through no real fault of their own, Doig (I know he’s being played as a CB more recently) and Cadden being our sole width is a big part of our struggles to create. Wingbacks are a specialist position and I think you almost need athletic wingers who can also do the basics of defending to make it work.

[scoopyboy]

I think Cadden is ok but I've noticed he plays far better in first halfs than he does after the break.

[LaMotta]

He gave the ball away with a **** final ball. Not unusual, his final ball is brutal.

I get what you’re saying totally. Cadden is limited, he’s energetic, but limited. Rarely beats a man, tends to launch crosses into the box, when the lone striker is outnumbered three v one. It worked with Clark’s goal last week, but more often than not, we just give away the ball.

Some of the daft comments in response to me saying this just show me how much people need to take off the green tinted specs.

He’s not gash, but he’s not really that good.

[Inconsequential]

Chris Cadden - the new Drey Wright. :greengrin

[WeeRussell]

I think he’s always been alright. Consistent without being great.

It was only a few weeks ago a few posters were in disbelief that he wasn’t called-up by Steve Clarke though.

Yes fair point and yet some on here wanted him in the Scotland squad a few weeks ago.
Like most of our squad he is just an ordinary player but as you rightly point out shouldn't be singled out.

That's not Cadden's fault. That's a fault of the system deployed.

Put your specs on.

Aye, Cadden couldn’t possibly engage his brain and use some footballing intelligence? I think he takes the easy option because he’s not confident in his ability to do anything else with the ball. Sweeping in a cross to the lone striker is a cop out.

[1875Sean]

Works hard but how some people can think he is near the Scotland squad are dreaming

[scoopyboy]

He's no worse than Paul McGinn who made the Scotland squad

[B.H.F.C]

Runs up and down in a straight line. Lack of quality at either end though. Just another one of our average players that is, apparently, good.

[1875Sean]

When Paul McGinn was called up he was in a good Hibs side, keeping clean sheets and providing assists

[GreenGray]

He was **** today. Poor cross (no shock there) leads to their first goal and he gives the ball away for their third goal. At least he can run though! We accept the bare minimum as hibs fans sometimes

[LaMotta]

A fit McGinn far better IMO.

[Jones28]

Naw. No way. Better defender? 50/50 on that, attacking threat, nah, Cadden wins that hands down.

Cadden is faster no doubt. Who has more goals for Hibs? Who has more asissts? Guarantee its McGinn.

🤦🤦🤦🤦 Chris Cadden isnt why we lost today. We were **** all over the park, rudderless and no shape. No plan B.

He played a big part in it though.

But you single him out

[Unseen work]

I would love to know what he was doing for the first goal.

46th minute, he’s played through on the right wing and it’s a 2 v 3 in the box, instead of flying it in or keeping it to see the half out he cuts it back to absolutely no one on the edge of the box.

Agree with you, there is a lot more to worry about in this team than Chris Cadden

[WeeRussell]

Possibly, debatable. The point is that neither of their ability or form should be demanding places in the scotland squad.

[#2 Double Tap]

good attacking wingback.

his passing could be better, but he does have that engine and moves forward with the ball often. his crossing is mostly decent and he puts a lot of crosses into the box.

imo cadden, porto, doig and newell are the best players we have.

[Iggy Pope]

Absolutely ridiculous pass. Hold it in corner and get to HT 1-0. Not only was there no hibs players there was 2 hearts ones. One who slipped and it rolled to the other. Utter dugmeat
