Hibs 18's and Development

[Donegal Hibby]

Wee report on Hibs official site of Hibs beating rangers. Four of our players mentioned ' Josh Landers ,Freddie Owens , Ethan Laidlaw and Rudi Molotnikov . Can anyone tell me about them and how they are doing ?

[JimBHibees]

I found this nugget of information today on Follow Follow.

Rangers lost to Hibs at every age group from U13's through to U18's over the weekend.

U13's lost 6-4
U14's lost 4-2
U15's lost 5-2
U16's lost 2-1
U18's lost 2-0

That is a wonderful read and shows we as a club must be doing something right. Long may that continue and hopefully that will provide a conveyer belt of young quality coming into the first team over time.

landers is very young, fast plays forward, outside football i believe he is a very good runner .
Rudi attacking midfielder, quick feet good engine.
Ethan tall thin fast, tricky, and scores loads of goals, has been looked at by many EPL sides.
I don’t know Owens very well.
Im sure some parents of the players can put me right though.😄

There's a preview of Hibs development teams next game against Queens Park and I think it also says you can purchase tickets for the FC Nantes game on it . It's on Hibernian official site everyone.

I think Laidlaw played against Molde, are the rest of these lads involved with the European matches?

Landers and Molitnikov came off the bench against Molde and Owens was on the bench.

Yes he's played a few times but yet to make any sort of impression.

Interesting, I think the stories about the (rumoured) size of his transfer fee have possibly created some very high expectations about this lad.

Landers an athletic striker. Only a 2007, so must be highly rated. Rudi a winger, come midfielder. Very powerful with an eye for goal. Along with Jacob McIntyre, they’re very highly regarded. Both 2006’s. Ethan Laidlaw is a prolific goal scorer. Was on trial at EPL clubs in the summer, & done really well. Think Hibs possibly priced him out of a move. Seems to be playing more on the wing now. He’s a 2005. Freddie is an excellent keeper. Has had to bide his time, as Murray Johnston has been in front of him, but is 18’s regular keeper now. Very agile & athletic. Has played outfield also & 2 footed. Saved penalties last 2 games against Motherwell & Rangers. Also a 2005.

[Tambo]

Rudi looks like a decent prospect from some of the highlights I've seen.

Unfortunately it's not very good Billy. It actually says there are no results for this season then if you press the link it shows results. It's not yet been updated for this week's game. Similarly the SFA site has no details of the U17 6 0 win over Malta. You can't sell the game if you don't advertise It!

Comes from the borders,a lovely family for Celtic fans!
He is very athletic,can hit the ball really well with either foot,sure our goalie used to get out of the way of his shots when there was a shooting drill,good in the air and a talented runner as well.
Hibs did well to sign him ahead of Hearts,really hoping he makes it with us,and time is on his side being only fifteen.

That is because it was a Reserve League Cup game - when you click on Reserves there is one option for league games and another for the league cup games.

Rudi & Jacob away with Scotland 17’s this week. Gives boys who are behind them in the pecking order a chance to impress for 18’s while they’re away. The boys highly regarded will start every week for 18’s. Frustrating for boys on the bench, but happens at every pro club when they have high hopes for some boys.

Hibs' Youtube throwback of the day is the 2018 Scottish Youth Cup victory v Aberdeen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9eWdTpoTHs). Line up from that day below. Good to see the majority of these guys still playing professional football, a high standard of youth development at Hibs. 7 of the starters have had decent exposure to First team football at Hibs, either making the grade or going elsewhere, as a club we definitely give youth a shot.

Hibernian: Maciej Dabrowski, Callum Donaldson, Sean Mackie, Ryan Porteous (Captain), Kevin Waugh, Josh Campbell, Fraser Murray, Ben Stirling, Oli Shaw, Innes Murray, Jamie Gullan
Unused substitutes: Partick Martin, Kane O’Connor, Adam Watson, Gregor Woods, Ruari Paton, Ryan Shanley, Yrik Gallantes

No no no no no. Landers goes to Peebles High School but he is from Innerleithen. Saying he's from Peebles is almost akin to saying a Scot is from England. Ooof! :wink:

18/1 on sky bet, worth a little punt?

18/1 on sky bet, worth a little punt?

If you back both the away win and the draw it's still a pretty good return for your money if either occur. (9/4 if it's a draw and 19/2 if Hibs win i think.)

There is no way we should be 18/1 for this game whatsoever. I think it's a mistake by the bookies.

We will face one of Ajax, Porto, Inter Milan, Frankfurt, RB Salzburg, Shaktar Donetsk, Borussia Dortmund or Juventus

Dunfermline today, like the Premier teams against Hibs are much more productive in the final third.
This suggests to me that our teams are becoming predictable in the way we are playing and easy to beat.

Also interesting Schofield wasn’t involved, I think him and Dabrowski will be off in January with Johnson back up.

Tom Carter was also listed as on the bench but didn't see him among the subs - was definitely on the pitch doing warm-up though. Would imagine Schofield back to Huddersfield in January and Johnson as third choice - clubs don't tend to go with just two goalies these days, unless you've heard something :wink:

You could say the same for the last 15 years or so regardless of whom the Manager was. Its baffling to me as well.

[Brooster]

Great performance from the lads tonight, never gave hertz a sniff. I've said it before but Laidlaw is streets ahead of Tavares as a left sided attacker and Jacob McIntyre must surely be a better option than some of the non triers in our midfield.

Great stuff. I’m all for giving these guys a chance. No harm in 15-30:mins from the bench initially and if they get the pace of the game , more than that

A lot of new names, to me anyway, in that team which is exciting.

Can we bring any of these guys into the team, or are they too young, would rather have home grown talent playing. Mind you lambs to the slaughter springs to mind....maybe not

Haha that's the standard reply when an under age team lose heavily. Hibs had younger players too.

Unsure if this result tells you everything about things at Hibs right now or if that’s restricted to defeats, but well done to the young team anyway, great result for them and brilliant to see us beat them at any level.

Certainly shows some areas are working well. If I was LJ I would be bringing in some of these kids and starting them not just putting them on the bench

I don't think it's as simple as that, they have done well against other kids but are they better than the player occupying the shirt in the first team? Johnson and Kean see these boys every day and if they were better they'd be getting their shot. The youth team lost to Dunfermline the other day and were held up as everything that's wrong with the club or taking us everything we need to know etc.

I agree with your sentiment, it would be good to see them get their chance but they have to be better than the player they're replacing.

They might not be ready but that doesn’t stop us persisting with players who aren’t ready like Melkerson, Bojang, Henderson, Tavares, McGregor etc. I still think Hibs are guilty of favouring players signed over our youngsters and still struggle to see a pathway for our U19s given the size of the squad and the number of signings still required.

Agree with all that however I think if you are as a coach concerned with mindset or attitude of players starting regularly then a good opportunity to shake it up a bit. Agree there will be s huge gap between playing against kids and first team players however I would like to see some getting a chance.

Would assume that physicality will likely come into it some of the younger players appear to be quite slightly built. That is from my viewing of brief highlights rather than seeing them live.

I agree, I think most of us want to see something different to what we're getting at the moment and it's good when youth players come through so there's a desire from probably the majority of fans(myself included) to see these boys get a chance.

[The Modfather]

.
Maybe they see those players as better options at this moment in time?

Quite possibly, but like persisting with Drey Wright last season, at some point we will have to accept a small step backwards in the short term for benefit in the mid term if. None of the youngsters signed, at great expense, look like they will make it and are potentially now just blocking the pathway for the U19s. Who also may not make it but they at least have some pedigree and still to be tried.

The 19s (minus Johnson,Blaney and Aiken who were on Scotland duty) lost to Dunfermline Development team who had a few first eam players playing in their side. We obviously won't know if the young guys are ready but let's see them getting a chance rather than persisting with players who are obviously not good enough or not trying a leg.

[Fanforlife]

I realise that but the point I'm making is that both teams had 15-18 year olds in the team.

My point wasn't really about the youth team just that taking a good result in isolation as evidence that they should be in the first team is much the same as using a bad result as evidence of deep rooted problems.

[Fanforlife]

Grandson,s actual words were Hearts had a much younger team out,nobody said Hibs didn't have young players at anytime.

[Smartie]

Some of them must be close to getting a chance.

O’Connor and Laidlaw both play in a position where we’re now struggling due to various injuries, Aiken plays in a position where we could do with a bit of freshening up. Cabraja hasn’t fully nailed down LB yet, leaving a possible opening for Oscar McIntyre and you’d expect Johnson to be pushing to get into a few squads ahead of a loan goalkeeper.

That’s a pretty decent situation to be in. Playing for our first team isn’t exactly a cushy number right now and I think Johnson can largely feel justified in not having given these players much more of a look in thus far. I’d expect that to change during the 2nd half of the season.

[green day]

Grandson,s actual words were Hearts had a much younger team out,nobody said Hibs didn't have young players at anytime.

I think that Hearts have some of their "older" youngsters with the first team in Spain at the mo, and younger players have been temporarily promoted in the meantime.

That said, they got scudded by 6 from someone else (Motherwell?) the week before shipping 5 to us - thats a learning curve !!

Main point for all these players is improvement rather than results - if we bring a few through to be first team regulars, that is the main thing

[truehibernian]

Steve Kean is doing an excellent job, would t surprise me if he gets the job once Johnson is punted - the added excitement for me would be much like Southgate he knows the young players inside out and don’t think he’d hesitate to include some in the first team.

Great result, love beating them at any age group, and 5-0 is tremendous for their confidence and belief in future derbies. Good stuff boys.

All being equal , he maybe worth a shout. But rather go for Mackay - tried, tested and paid some dues - maybe not enough for some

[RIP]

I've watched our 18s a few times.

On physicality alone, there's a big gulf between the size of e.g. Melkersen and say, Laidlaw or Aitken. Many of the signings we've made in the past 12 months were made to transition between our U18s and ghe first team.

Interesting article. The reserve league table shows we've only played 2 games, no one has played more than 3. As mentioned our game tomorrow is postponed so next scheduled game is January. I know there have been some reserve cup games also but its strange that both Blaney and Kean in the article place great emphasis on playing against men in the reserves when it appears there have only been a few games. It does seem as if greater organisation is required for the reserve league.

[Bayern Bru]

I thought he was more a wide player, at least he was in the youth league games I watched.

Can play anywhere across the front. Likes to drift wide left like Stokes but can play centre-forward. Seen him play wide midfield as well but definitely more effective in the final third.

Five goals and a few assists in his last three games. Physically he's improved, his attitude seems a lot better, and he's hitting form at a really useful time.
