Genuinely hope we get campbell moved on before the end of the summer.
His level is no better than L1.
I’m sick of seeing him in the starting 11 and thinking his performance will be any different from what we get.
I was a fan of Newell but I’m getting sick and tired of seeing performances from him like tonight. Slower than a week in the jail and barely ever looks to go forward.
We’re desperate for some quality in there

Newell should have been given the boot after getting done for drink driving. Now can’t run pass shot or tackle unless it’s giving away fouls.
Campbell is powder puff in the tackle, his drive, passing, crossing and shooting. His lunge on the Falkirk player was disgraceful and I was was shouting for a red purely to get him suspended and out the team

Agreed,if LJ cannot get rid of Newell it will be a repeat of last season,Campbell not good enough ,Newell is an very expensive dud.

Can’t believe your missing JDH, been missing more games than any midfielder over the past 3 years

My heart sinks every time I see Campbell in the starting line up. The boy is gash.

I reckon out of the three he’d be the one I’d keep if we had better around him

100%. He’s so, so bad. Not his fault he’s being thrown in but he needs to go back to League 2 and develop more. On a hiding to nothing with us now.

Is he even league 1? He was kept quiet by a midfield that had Stephen McGinn in it for christ sake.

Campbell is a part time footballer. Shouldn’t be anywhere near Hibs and it’s laughable folk we’re suggesting LJ could get a tune out him and that it was Maloneys fault he was pish.
Likewise Newell. Nowhere near good enough for this level and should be binned at the first opportunity.

Based on what? Not on past performances in a Hibs jersey

I just think he’s got a bit more about him and could do well in a better midfield

Campbell blows hot and cold, sadly for us it’s more cold than hot.
Fraser Murray contributed more than him and got punted out the door.
Appreciate he’s a fan living his dream but we cannot afford passengers this season.

In my opinion Newell offers more, again in a better midfield he would offer more , they have all been really poor but when newell is on it he is offers a lot more bite in midfield and for me his passing is better

Never wants to drive forward with the ball and would rather pass it back to where it came from.
Slower than a week in the jail on the ball and let’s the opposition get back into position

He’s on it about once a season. Pish. The sooner he’s gone the better

That’s once more than JDH

If Campbell, Newell or Bushiri start in Perth we're in trouble.
Newell should be done now as an automatic start as we have better in Henderson and McGeady.

I couldn’t agree more on Campbell and if LJ can’t recognise that then he should just pack it in now.
If he learns his lesson and never plays him again then at least we will get a silver lining from tonight.

A wee while back I would have agreed with you. But JDH will be a far better player in a LJ team than Newell in my opinion. Newell just doesn't have the speed or engine to play a pressing game.

Agree. Campbell is sadly miles short of what we need, just doesn't have it at this level. Newell performs only when he fancies it and that's getting to be a rarity now. At least JDH is a solid enough performer who looks decent when we're playing well.

Not even having a pop at you but when does Campbell ever blow hot?
He is so far below the standard needed it’s crazy and it’s not a joke to say that he would not start a game for Falkirk.

Campbell looked out his depth tonight at league one level. Running around a lot can’t be a justification for an obvious lack of talent.
I’ve defended Newell a lot on the board but towards the end of last season he was starting to annoy me and it’s continued tonight. Replacements needed but it might be easier said than done.

It’s no surprise that Campbell has had his best games for Hibs when all he was asked to do was run about and make a nuisance of himself (semi v Huns and Celtc at home). He isn’t a good enough footballer and should definitely be away in this transfer window.

This 100%. What is really worrying is that the new manager thinks he is a key part of the squad. Does not bode well for the season ahead.
As for Newell, I've said it before hes a decent player when you are ahead in a game but when you are one nil down chasing a game he's a total waste of space.
