Hibernian v Clyde

[Haymaker]

We're going to win the Treble! :hyper

[chrisski33]

If this was Celtic it would be 10-0 at f/t just saying……not sure what we can make of this score after half-time

Strange comment to make on a Hibs fan forum, maybe you should just toddle off back to a Celtic forum!

[SChibs]

I'm sure the coaches would have a lot of positives today. Great to see the pace & movement & intent in that first half.

For me, if I was an opposition scout, I'd be saying the best chance teams will have v Hibs is to rob the ball from Kenneh (he wants a little too much time, as a first impression) and if he loses it as CDM, a good team will score on the break.

All in all though, great to see the new signings AND great to see the difference some positive coaching & tactics have had (so far) on last seasons players too.

If he can adapt to the pace I think he will be a valuable player for us.

[California-Hibs]

Scunnered that I had Hibs to win both halfs and over 3.5 goals, and the second half literally finished 0-0. Actually unbelievable 😔😂

[Sir David Gray]

no think we have him on a 3 year deal

That's correct, with the option of a further year.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Hibs Win over 4.5 goals! Nice wee return :-)

[Northernhibee]

Yep, think he’ll be very good for us.

[BILLYHIBS]

All about opinions I suppose but I thought Campbell Doidge Melkersen Kenneh and McClelland did ok

Would like to see them against higher calibre opposition where they don’t get as much time on the ball

Good to see Rocky winning some headers

McGeady looks as though he will be a good signing for us

[EdinMike]

When you think Bojang, Tavares, Ellie, Magennis, Mitchell and Nisbet weren’t even featured in this squad. It’s exciting.

[Franck Stanton]

Hope the big man Rocky isn’t injured and it’s more a give them a half each change.


Thought Rocky played very well today, won every header he challenged for, made some great tackles & didn't put a foot wrong.
I appreciate it was only Clyde we were playing, but we can only play what's in front of us.
Well played big man.

Y

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Thought Kenneh looked good and wasn't afraid of putting a challenge in. McClelland looks aa fantastic addition

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Porto, Mclleland, JDH, Campbell, Doidge and Melkersen were fantastic imo. Particularly excited to see how Melkersen develops this season

Kenneh was excellent at retrieving the ball but might take a few games to get to grips with speed. Cadden was his usual bundle of energy

Hendo showed some good moments too and was pretty strong

Wouldn't say anyone played poor, feels like we're an attacking left back away from having a really good side

Clyde were brutal, and very physical so hard to get too carried away but a very positive opener

[brydekirk]

Thought JDH and Henderson were standouts today,played very well.

Glad to hear that

[SChibs]

Can't remember which goal but was great to see JDH battle in the midfield then break forward with the ball and play a through ball into Doidge. Something he didn't really do last year

[Baldy Foghorn]

Excellent performance Today, enjoyed that

[Jakhog1]

Bang on, all good attacking options and we still got five today, wait till we have a full squad to choose from, really enjoyed the match today, first half was brilliant and seen no need for them to go full pelt in the second half, job was done.

[BS44]

What was the scran like ?

Perfect.

[Dr_Regal]

Thought Hendo was exceptional first half, and Kenneh was brilliant too.
Stevenson absolutely rotten second half. McGeady is a quality footballer.

[SHODAN]

Right, that's my Morton tickets bought.

Chips were awesome in the East, crispy wedges with a wee tub of broon sauce. Bangin

Hibs win 5-0 and one of your main takes from the game was that our club legend left back was “rotten”?

[Laced1875]

Didn’t like the Miller / Cadden partnership in the second half - hopefully they can work on that

[Dr_Regal]

Eh yep, he was very poor today. Second half was a bit frustrating today and there were echos of a Maloney type performance. Sloppy and wasteful.
I don’t care if him and Hanlon are club legends or not, they better be contributing to a winning team on the park. Kind of over the blind loyalty stuff, and I don’t think it will fly with LJ.

Good thing then that they have never ever benefitted from blind loyalty and have always earned their place by playing well then.

The Internet is amazing, sometimes it educates you, other times it shocks you and ever so often it makes you laugh.

This is a laughing moment. Dr Regal, I sincerely hope you are not an actual GP as a patient I would question anything you said.

Lewis was again the usual 7.5 out of 10 performance. Professional and did the job. Dr Regal clearly expects Cafu type performance against... Clyde

Aye okay.

League will be a different story, it will be back to Hanlon getting bullied by abday, and Stevenson getting out paced by every Tom, Dick and Harry. But they are legends so we will play them till their 40.
I have no problem being squad players, but we need better players in the starting 11, and we will get them.

Just type in Hibs and you should see them from a Channel called johnsparky2.

Goals are recorded from the east stand but can make them out good. Doidge with a lovely finish for his second.

Both part of a defence that was the 3rd best in league last year.


Lewis actually played some of his best games in midfield.

Think I’ll let LJ decide

How many Regal did you smoke in the 2nd half? Bizarre comments.

Enjoyed reading this thread. Beating a decent team 5-0 before half time but we aren’t good enough 😂😂😂😂😂

No sure about Clyde being a decent team. But no sure how anybody is really getting any criticism after that game even if most of them could have been a bit tidier on the ball at times. It’s only the 9th of July though.

I think being 5-0 up at half time against a league 1 team is pretty decent. I get that we'll be at different stages of our fitness though.

[Brightside]

Paul Hanlon was bullied today.

[BristolAnn]

Be interesting to see our new style in action rather than the players on show with only one of the starting outfield players playing his first game at ER. Can't make the game today, but I'll be watching on Hibs TV ...... Kind of hoping one or two of the new guys might get a game off the bench, but after the two games in Portugal I would quite like to see Delferriere get on, the kid looks like a class act in the wee snippets I've seen of him.

I thinks some of the new signings are still waiting for work permits.

[Northernhibee]

Paul Hanlon was bullied today.

Nonsense, he gave Tavares a wedgie in the stands and scribbled “Lee Johnson is a poo” on the changing room wall

I believe Doidge is now the first player to score 3 competitive hat-tricks for Hibs since Jimmy O’Rourke

Has the pitch been widened

No.

They have added new 3G all around edges which looks smart.

Assuming they will LED digital advertising boards for the 2 levels of adverts around edges.

Less space at front of FF and South stand now too which should stop away fans gathering at front.

Which part? Right down the front row?

There has been a wheelchair section in the front row there for years any idea what's been changed?

[Keith_M]

My feedback on the main points of yesterday's game:


Two out of three of Doidge's goals were really messy, so they don't really count, meaning we only won three nil against a bunch of part-timers.

The second half had no goals, so technically that half was a no score draw.. against a bunch of part-timers.

The FF Lower was disgracefully empty... again!

The new strip doesn't really do it for me, sorry. They need to scrap that and bring back the early 70's style.










Am I getting into the true spirit of the thread?

Was that Scott Allan dressed up as JDH with that assist? 😁

Jokes aside he has played well in the 3 games so far and it's only lower league opposition but consistency is what we lafked last season.

[Northernhibee]

Tell you what, it looked very clumsy at the game but Doidge’s first goal was a very clever finish. He said the ball was spinning so he looked to get the largest surface on it and stoops down to chest it in.

Would have been very easy for him to swing a foot at it instinctively and end up on one of those YouTube compilations of “worst misses ever” like Cummings did when he scooped over from an even closer position a few years back.

Very clever and deserves credit.

Yeah looked like an absolute bundler of a goal at the game. But watching it back, he does so well to use his body to cushion it in.

I really hope he stays.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Doidge looked lean and up for it yesterday. Remember his debut against Arbroath in a pre-season when he missed a penalty. He looked more composed and match fit against Clyde. Not bad for a player on his way out because of fitness issues.

[wookie70]

I thought the same watching live but the highlight shows it was a very good finish. I thought he had missed a sitter before it but the defender did pretty well, still should have scored. He was lucky with the third but any striker getting 3 goals from 4 good chances will be delighted. Hope he gets back to the form he showed a couple of years back and he looked a bit more mobile than the tail of last season.
