Good link up between Doidge and Melkersen for the goal, good to see

Rocky and Newell have been our best players for me.

We've played very well.

A poacher's finish. Great to see.

[green day]

Shame that McGeady going off means we had to switch Tavares. He was much better on the right.

It’s doing my head in! Incredibly distracting, but we are winning so I need something to complain about.

[Smartie]

I thought we were going to get worse when we forced into the sub but we’ve actually been much better since Doidge went on.

[Unseen work]

Looking forward to miller setting.

Does some things really well then leaves you scratching your head at times.

Think he has alot of ability and potential though

[Greenio]

He’s hit and miss.

Sometimes looks neat and tidy, sometimes he’s really sloppy.

I think he’ll come good long term but he’s pretty raw - not sure if he’s got the right now.

Ive not seen much sloppiness from him tbh. Maybe at times v Clyde but he tries things, gets forward and plays with confidence - player of the season for us, clalling it now

[HendoDelivered]

Some of the Norwich players are lean as hell!

I much prefer when we play it to Doidge to flick onto a runner than for him to hold it up. He'll not always find a man but if he wins the flick on it puts the defence on the back foot

[H18 SFR]

Rocky improving, miller improving, Melkerson constantly looking to impact the game.

Solid 45 mins.

First 15 minutes wasn't great but we've played pretty well in last half hour.

Good to see a real poacher's style scrappy goal.

[Hiber-nation]

Rocky getting better each game. Seeing good wee signs from Miller, his passing is still poor though. Norwich reserves look awful mind you.

[Since452]

Very good first half Hibs.

[Northernhibee]

So pleased for him, hugely admire the mental resilience and attitude of the lad to pull himself into contention.

Enjoyable 45 mins that

Signs and patterns of play that are encouraging

Playing at a good tempo

Best players have been Newell and Rocky

Miller has settled and done well and Kenneh has quietly been breaking up play

Hope it's not only because we're playing a team that actually want to get forward rather than bore us into a draw or 1-0 loss. I felt that's what we struggled with in the league cup and you can put your mortgage on St Johnstone doing it on Saturday.

[Mikey_1875]

Definitely a bit better, especially Kenneh and Miller compared to previous performances. Hopefully McGeady was just a precaution.

I’d worry about the lack of balance in the back four all being right footed if that’s what we go with next week but realise it’s a temporary fix.

[Borderhibbie76]

Much better 45 have to say better since McGeady went off and Doidge came on - much more positive

[LewysGot2]

Doidge, Rocky, Henderson all been good.

Some heavy challenges from Norwich especially the No9. He's been warned but he's still going in late and OTT.

[JamesHFC]

A friendly but an improvement today, once we have the boys back from injury and the new boys settle in we be fine. 3rd is ours.

[Tambo]

A slow start but thought we was the better team for most of the game.

Hope Mcgeady is not to serious and Doidge has won every ball in the air so far.

Expect a few changed at half time.

[The Captain....]

Rocky, Hendo, playing well..some nice touches by Tavares and a good knock down by Doidge, good to see Melkersen poaching in the 6 yard box.

Found my enjoyment of the match was increased immeasurably by muting the irritating commentary.

Tavares, Miller and Kenneh look exactly what they are to me - young players with some impressive attributes finding their way at a higher level than they are used to.

It's not all perfect but there are flashes and positives. You can only see them improving from some decent exposure to first team football and you could actually see all 3 of them becoming very good players.

Do we have the patience to let them have that luxury though?

[MWHIBBIES]

Doidge absolutely excellent since coming on. Good assist.

Agree with that 100% and is the risk you take when you sign young players with potential.

Could be good one game and terrible the next.

They’ll be playing against guys similar ages to them today which might make a difference but hopefully the confidence they take from it is massive.

Hoping to see Tait come on.

Definitely makes a difference when you play a team that attacks. We have found it difficult to break down defensive teams, the 8 man Morton defence being a perfect example. Hopefully, the new manager will be working on it.

Wouldn’t have minded some of the first team getting more minutes in their legs but I guess with injuries etc Johnson never wanted to take any chances.

Don’t think we’re as bad as what a lot of people on here thought we were last week.

I thought we had it tough, imagine being a Norwich fan going to Scotland to watch your team play on a Saturday and Sunday, losing both games and scoring zero goals.

[Hibbyradge]

I enjoyed that. We did well in the first half, confident passing and good discipline.

I thought Doidge was excellent and he should have had a penalty. The defender should have been booked a few minutes later for the cynical trip which definitely stopped a promising attack.

I would have given MOTM to Miller at right back rather than Melkerson, although I'm delighted he got a goal.

The youngsters looked very promising in the second half so I think there's a lot to look forward to.

If (when) we can work out how to break down 10 man defences, we'll be in for good times.

Sorry, I disagree. I think he's pretty terrible at it and would bet good money I'd do better. I think most could. He's probably brilliant for other things, but commentary really isn't his thing.

Well volunteer your services then or go to the games and dont need to listen

[cabbageandribs1875]

I assumed Cabbageand ribs was counting the number of time KH said yeknow!! :wink:


and i missed the first 20 minutes, over 10k then, yi know

[Greenio]

If you need to know, I already have, multiple times and haven't received as much as a reply from the club 👍. And experience wise yep, nothing, but as an aspiring journo that's interviewed multiple other sports stars, yes I do believe in myself... I've not said anything out of order regarding dave, even edited my last post when I realised it read as an insult, I'm just stating I disagree that hes decent at comms.

Tells me you need to work more before approaching Hibs rather than slagging off the folk who've achieved what you haven't.

Good luck to you though

[cabbageandribs1875]

i do miss oor cliff and his cheap suit comments



Tam as well to be honest



the two replacements are fine

[SHODAN]

Where the **** have we been hiding all these talented young midfielders?

[Hibernian Verse]

So what, are you some linguistic genius. Talking down a Hibs great due to a working class dialect are we?

Oh aye, I was definitely making a direct correlation between working class people and 90 seconds of football commentary.

You missed a question mark after “genius” btw.

[Tambo]

Good battle second half and could of maybe scored a couple more.

[Carheenlea]

Right, we’ve had a decent result and performance so let’s have a go at our commentator :hilarious

You used speech marks instead of inverted commas btw!

Ha! Sorry, massive detour here. Back to football. Impressed do first half. Too many changes for my liking but positive signs of from some. Miller is quality. Melk will get goals. Bring on the season!

[Gloucester Hibs]

Allan Delferrière and Dylan Tait both look ready to me. Hope to see them involved on Saturday.

This. They all get pass marks today but those 2 in particular stood out.

[Borderhibbie76]

Lot more positive and given the no of players out I enjoyed that tbh, liked the look of Miller at RB but baffling that Tait and Delferriere not played more in LC- impressed with both

People commented on his commentating in the previous games too.

I don't think the standard of commentary is all that important, he can keep the job for all I care, but he does make a lot of mistakes.

Yip he isnt the greatest(didnt hear him today) but is there a constant need to have a pop at the guy, especially the post above about him today from the expert with no experience

[SideBurns]

Having walked ('stormed' might be a better word 😁) out of the ground on Wednesday in the cream puff I didnae go today, but heartened to hear the boys put in a performance. Tait & Delferriere might just provide a solution to the midfield problem?

Hope McGeady is OK; although I haven't been impressed so far, if he can get himself match fit then he should still be able to create and score goals in our league.

[Lago]

Kind of lost track anyone care to give a round up of our current 1st team injury situation?

[Pretty Boy]

If it's the Irish guy commentating that people are talking about then he isn't the best. He spent a whole game getting Dundee and Dundee Utd mixed up last year.

It doesn't matter to me as I rarely watch the games online and he is a volunteer after all but the few times I have heard him he struggles with the basics.

I don’t think match fitness is an issue, he played a full 90 minutes against Morton. The injury today came from a tackle, think it was his knee that he hurt.

[I'm Spartacus]

A wins a win, I didn't see the point of today pre-match, but any win, no matter how weak the opposition, can only be positive.

[cameronw-hfc]

Good luck to you though

I wasn't slagging off, I was echoing the exact same thoughts as most people on this thread that have mentioned it so far. The commentary has been noticeably poor the last few weeks, if we're not allowed to say that then it'll never improve.

[1875Sean]

In relation to the commentator chat, I understand it’s not great for people to have a pop at them however people pay to watch Hibs and this is part of the package, I know they volunteer however the Irish guy have covered Hibs long enough now and is dreadful!

I think Tam isn’t back due to costs, Harper is already employed by Hibs doing scouting work so wouldn’t surprise me they include this as part of his work?

[leith lynx]

Impressed by Jacob Blaney, have watched him a few times in the Dev team, put in a couple of great crosses, got the feeling he is the pick of the young team, great awareness.

Agree ! Absolutely incredible the amount of folk on here who can’t wait to have a go at the club about everything [emoji2375] ever thought of accepting we are in a massive transitional period. The new manage team and new players need time to blend. Nowhere near our strongest team today - 8-9 potential starters missing but we still won. Instead of sitting in your houses moaning about hibs TV why not get out and channel you’re pent up negative energy into a positive and do what fans are meant to do - go along and support your team.

I thought Blaney was very good as well. Where does he usually play? Came on at left back last week but thought he looked really composed where he played today.

[percy veer]

Calum Davidson was In the west today.

Not really sure what he will have learned from it but they look to have not had a great start in the LC either.

Let's hit the ground running Hibs.

[percy veer]

200 ishy it looks like

Looked alot more than that to me.

[The Captain....]

Really enjoyed the second half. Have been banging on about Delferriere and thought him and Tait bossed that midfield. Was refreshing to see.

Tbh all the youngsters did well and contributed.

A few good prospects there who can't be far away from pushing for a first team start or at least minutes off the bench.

Agreed - thought he was really good, very composed on the ball and defended well - big future ahead of him if continues to perform like today

[SideBurns]

I don’t think match fitness is an issue, he played a full 90 minutes against Morton. The injury today came from a tackle, think it was his knee that he hurt.

Aye, true. Maybe not just finding his form yet then. Time will tell, as ever.

[Willis1875]

Very impressed with delferriere during the pre season games he has played don't think there is much between him and Kenneh tbh

I think he’s better in the tackle and on the ball than Kenneh also has a knack for creating plenty space for himself

[wookie70]

Impressed by Jacob Blaney, have watched him a few times in the Dev team, put in a couple of great crosses, got the feeling he is the pick of the young team He stuck out most for me too. A couple of great deliveries, positionally good and touch tight to his man. Looked very composed. MacIntyre had a terrible first 5 minutes then played very well. He needs to get some more strength but looked good. Tait has got a chance too and Delferriere is very solid. I would have given MOTM to Miller who had a very good game and I was delighted with Doidge who worked very hard, won most headers and looked better than he has since his injury. All in a good run out and although McGeady getting injured isn't great we improved immediately he went off

[Paul1642]

Hopefully todays result against a good side gives the team a bit of positivity going into the league campaign

[Since452]

I think this team could develop in to a very good side. Certainly a lot of talented young players. Very early days but there have been positive signs. Especially considering we have a lot of players out.

[Iain G]

Calum Davidson was In the west today.

Martindale was at the St James doing some shopping today 🤣

[Keith_M]

It was a decent enough game but should really have scored more than one goal.

The Norwich players seemed to get away with quite a lot of rough tackling. I was surprised to see a Hibs player booked but they only got warnings.

[JimBHibees]

Is Delferrier athletic enough to play centre mid? Thought that Tait was good on the ball maybe the same concerns re him re athletically?

[buktapurple79]

Really enjoyed that the day. Once Kevin is back fit and Melker is fully bedded in we will be a serious proposition. The Yams are not all they’re cracked up to be and Sniper’s Dream Shankland is a burst flush. We quietly go about our business and let there bam sporting director bash on about winning the league. Got a wee vibe we will be clear third, we’ve got a squad about us and the hoofballists will struggle wae the thu/sun schedule.

[Willis1875]

He was all over the place(not in a headless chicken way) closing down,looks a calming presence on the ball aswell

[LewysGot2]

Really? In what way?

[CapitalGreen]

When I see Delferrier I think of Dylan McGeouch

Obviously very early days but I said the same after the games in Portugal. He’s very comfortable in possession while under pressure. He’s what some people would call a press resistant midfielder, something we have been crying out for since the days of Fyvie, McGinn and McGeouch.

[linlithgowhibbie]

Spot on. They could have had 3 yellows in the first 20 minutes!

[Billy Whizz]

I heard him before I saw him, with his little girl

[Since452]

We need to take our chances. Numerous chances against Falkirk, Morton and Norwich with only two goals to show for it. That's my only gripe. A big positive is that we're creating numerous opportunities each game.

[Billy Whizz]

When I see Delferrier I think of Dylan McGeouch

Where is his best position
Wiki says he’s a right back and Transfermarkt says he’s a centre back?

[Springbank]

I think he does the Kenneh/Marv/Matty Jack role better than Kenneh or Newell

One player who is absolutely not ready for an early Derby is tavares. I'd be happy with Delfierre playing on the right in the derby as he is a competitor wherever he plays

[leith lynx]

I thought Blaney was very good as well. Where does he usually play? Came on at left back last week but thought he looked really composed where he played today.

Plays alongside Daz in the middle of defence for the Dev squad. I reckon he will be challenging for a first team slot soon.

He's a midfielder and nothing else. Too wee for centre back and certainly no full back. Really like the look of him, particularly with Tait alongside him.
