Whole new midfield needed

[dastardly8]

Has to be the worst Hibs midfield I’ve seen in 40 something years , Newell and Doyle Hayes are total mince , don’t think Henderson and Kenneh are improvements either

[MWHIBBIES]

Jdh and Newell haven't even been that bad. At least not compared to their teammates. Easy targets though.

[RoxburghHibs]

Newell, Campbell and Doyle-Hayes in the same midfield does not work.

Every time I see that line up I know it's going to be a tough afternoon.

Come on Hibs we can still turn this round..

[Benny Brazil]

Add in a new defence as well

[Heisenberg]

Jdh and Newell haven't even been that bad. At least not compared to their teammates. Easy targets though.

They are though. Majority of the time it doesn’t work when they are paired in the midfield. We have absolutely no creativity, no one taking the ball forward. It’s pish.

Forget about today, they're still not good enough.

They made themselves easy targets with their crap performances over the last year.

Don't forget forwards too.

Happy with keeper tho!!

[LeithMike]

Saw an interview this morning when he signed with Man Utd. Described himself as a player who gets up and down. We don't have anyone who gets up and down. Campbell might be able to do it but his confidence ebbs and flows. Newell and JDH run through treacle.

I think if we could get one good all round midfielder then JDH could hold and we have to hope that Henderson can do the attacking role but there are doubts about that and, like his brother, he might end up better in the holding role too.

Whichever way you look at it, its not good recruitment to have 5 central midfielders none of whom can get up and down.

Na, that midfield three’s fine. Don’t complain about them unless you can name every game they’ve played collectively poor in.

[madhatter]

Specialists in slow ponderous passing and no drive. Not just them though. Porteous and Hanlon are so slow at passing, especially Porteous who does his little hop when scooping the ball to his teammate (or out of play).

Not sure if this is a whoosh moment, but the lack of creativity and dynamic forward thinking intent from that 3 is frightening. Anyone thinking we're getting top 4 with those 3 starting most games has had a good batch of crack and I'd quite like some

Top 6 looking like an achievement with the current midfield I'm afraid, at least 1 new, starting XI midfielder required, ideally 2.

It’s a whoosh moment. It’s nowhere near good enough and anyone with a brain could see the way the game would go with they 3 starting together in the middle

[Pretty Boy]

We are the core of a team short.

Ron better give junior the cheque book this week and then say his prayers or this team is in a scrap at the wrong end of the table

[Keith_M]

Recruitment has a lot to answer for. The squad is nowhere near good enough.

[Bristolhibby]

Chuck in a new centre half also.

Losing first goal early against teams like St Mirren is a disaster. Like when we were in the Championship we always find it impossible to break down banks of four defending all game.

Ah ok,good. Agreed entirely

[Steve88]

Fed up of this thread, not because I don't agree - but because the same premise has been going since man invented fire...

[Northfield Hibby]

Not saying he's the answer to our midfield problems but surely Tait must b given a chance? Has Johnson not seen enough of that midfield to know its garbage.

[MWHIBBIES]

Worrying that the midfield were probably among our better players today. Back 4 and forwards woeful.

[Juice-Terry]

How can people in charge not see that Newell, JDH, and Campbell is the worst midfield at Hibs in living memory?

[Stuarty1875]

Midfield issue is becoming critical. Saw performances like today too many times.

[basehibby]

:top marks This - we watched it enough times last season to see that the balance of their attributes just does not click. I thought we were improved in earlier games with Kenneh involved - who's instincts are to play the sitting midfielder. This seems to have a positive effect on Newell's play allowing him to venture forward more often, making him more effective in a creative sense. This would maybe work with JDH in for Newell as well, but the two together just seems to be a recipe for mundane mediocrity.

Buck stops with LJ and he needs to sort it.

Adding a holding midfielder to the squad after last season is absolutely ridiculous.

Lack of signings in midfield is disgraceful.

100%

There has been many threads on here saying JDH, Newell and Campbell can’t play in same team regularly.

Our central midfield is a joke and the whole spine of the team needs fixed except GK.

[Alfred E Newman]

When I read we had almost 70% possession and only 1 shot on target it tells me we need more than just a midfield. That statistic is ridiculous.

[Thegreenside]

That midfield 3 will do nothing but get managers sacked. The quicker magennis is back the better.

[Northernhibee]

I’m a bit confused as to taking Campbell off today. He was busting a gut to try to get to things and getting forward.

Individually the three are decent players but don’t work together.

[LunasBoots]

Newell, Hayes and Campbell are too similar in style to play with each other, it doesnt work and hasnt for long enough, its an area that needs changed and has for long enough.

[CL0762]

Worrying that the midfield were probably among our better players today. Back 4 and forwards woeful.

Because Newell had one shot presumably.

We’ll ignore the hopeless amount of crosses into the box that met no one, the boring sideways passing that went nowhere & the pointless booking in a nothing area of the park.

I would genuinely love for you to explain what it is you see in any of our midfield because I just plainly do not get it.

[Eaststand]

When I read we had almost 70% possession and only 1 shot on target it tells me we need more than just a midfield. That statistic is ridiculous.

You're quite right it is ridiculous that we have no creative players able to play a killer pass and we also have a statuesque centre forward (Doidge) who wouldn't get on the end of a decent pass if his life depended on it.

Our midfield has no creation, up front we have no threat apart from Boyle but he was marked tightly today and that was our only chance gone.
Melkerson and Henderson both look like wee lost boys playing against men and both are continually brushed off the ball by streetwise journeyman players in our tough league.

Its sad that we've became such a poor team so quickly but there's no doubts after defeats to Livi and St Mirren that we have.

We have not become a poor team quickly, this has been a slow, long drawn out process, full of semi-talented players when we need some really talented players, quality players.
Right now I would go out and bring in Dylan McGeouch for starters, then a good big centre half, followed by someone who can score goals, start building from a good solid base, not a sand pit.

You’re at it again. Please stop this. You just can’t help yourself. Being better when the whole lot are poor is not good enough. Set your sights a bit higher and stop settling for slightly better than poor.

[Libby Hibby]

Newell, just GTF.

Where is Dylan Tait? Just give him a try.

[Hibernia&Alba]

The Three Stooges in midfield are horrific. Seriously, they are Championship level at best and all of them need replacing.

[Hibby70]

Newell, just GTF.

It's a strange one, I had assumed that perhaps he doesn't show much in training - but on the basis that Newell hardly shows on the pitch then surely Tait is worth a shot (and by that I mean a run not just 30 mins)

[Pretty Boy]

Newell, just GTF.

My neighbour is a Raith fan.

Said Tait had a bit of an attitude there. Good player but had a few people in his ear telling him he was better than he is.

Tbh I'd kill for a player with a bit of cockiness about him right now so not a huge problem for me. If there is anything in it I can see why a manager might not be keen to throw him in though.

[SlickShoes]

When I read we had almost 70% possession and only 1 shot on target it tells me we need more than just a midfield. That statistic is ridiculous.

Because we pass it around the back or up the wing but the middle of the park is a black hole, the other team just closes down our wings and that’s it. The amount of crosses we put in that amount to nothing is also criminal, too high, too fast, too long or just wayward nowhere near anyone.

[Tambo]

My thoughts on today that Campbell tried a few times to play a cutting ball through and a little energy but not involved enough.

Newell again not much going forward for 90 mins with a lot of keeping it safe and passing it on which is fine if you have someone else who can create something through the central area but we don't so we need to see more attacking from Joe week in week out.

JDH fine again when he was on the ball but again just not involved enough in the game.

We seen last season how much our midfield was dominated most weeks last season and it has happened a lot this season.

It's so slow passing around the back and then out wide because we don't have anyone in the centre, we was hoping Henderson would be that guy and he started really well pre season and league cup but has not had the best of 2/3 games lately.

Mcgeady could play that AM role but would he be fit for a lot of the season? LJ needs to bring someone in next week.

[WeeRussell]

To be fair I don’t think anybody is at it. It’s more stubbornness and wanting to be right.

People that claimed Newell would walk into any team outside the old firm, and Doidge is better than Shankland, don’t want to back down.

I think it’s human nature during a tough time.

Midfield dictate the tempo in which we play,these guys are far too slow and ponderous.
We always look better when we play at a higher tempo,absolutely critical that we get improvements in there and get the ball into our forward players quicker and utilise the obvious pace we have upfront instead of pointless balls into their feet

I defended Nisbet saying he didn't down tools. I'm not having a go at Cabrajas attitude like folk were with Nisbet. He just played dreadfully.

That's not true about Newell. Youan was really dreadful today. And at livi. Ridiculous no one will say it because he's new. He was pish in both our league defeats.

[loanheadhibby]

I think that goes without saying. He’s a Celtic man thru & thru. I don’t think he hides that fact. As previously stated on this post, he was and is a poor signing. Injured most of last season and likely to be injured most of this season unfortunately.

[hibsbollah]

I’ve defended Newell to the hilt but some of the basic mistakes from him and Doidge today in particular just had me wanting to leave early. A terrible performance from the whole team and 1-0 flattered us.

[skyehibee]

Newell is the route cause of our midfield problems for seasons now. He’s not good enough, he ups his performances for say 1 in 6 games usually against rangers/Celtic then becomes oblivious and useless for games against Ross county etc. You can’t afford to have players like that starting every week. But come that 1 good game he has you’ll have half this board raving about how great he is. He needs replaced and if nobody can see this then we will continue being bottom 6 for the next few years of his contract.

Difference is, mcginn had much much better players around him when here. We were a better team. There are 6 or 7 guys performing rubbish. Was significantly worse out there today than Joe. Everyone needs to step up or **** off, not just Newell.

If changing manager doesn't fix everything, changing 1 player definitely won't.

Jim, I posted in the relegation thread, that midfield today is not too dissimilar to Craig, Tudor Jones, and Robertson in terms of creativity, desire, drive, and energy. They’re on a par. Sadly, we know what happened the longer we persisted with that midfield in 2014. It’s the most important area of the pitch to get right for me , and it’s never been properly balanced or invested in.

We won’t be able to, but I’d happily start all over and replace three or four of them and build around Tait, Kenneh and Delfierre, with some proper experience and a couple of creative sparks.

[B.H.F.C]

I guarantee you swapping say Tait for Newell will bring a different dynamic to the side.

Tait bossed a midfield against a recent Premiership side. Pre season or not. Newell can’t boss Livingston or St Mirren.

Tait is already a better option than Newell for me having seen him now a few times. So was/is young Delferierre. Both worked really well together.

JDH,newell,Campbell,doidge etc are the obvious target for fans and rightly so as they are clearly not good enough but how come guys like cadden,Stevenson,henderson,melkerson get away with less abuse?
They are equally poor on a weekly basis.
That’s 7 first team starters!!
Really poor recruitment

[Leith Green]

Henderson is powder Puff , so weak it’s ridiculous, always losing possession … Newell useless going forward and a liability defending.. Campbell full of running and hard work and his effort cant be questioned, but is nowhere near the quality we need to be challenging at the top end of the table. Doyle hayes doesnt do enough to impact the game.kenneh looks like exactly what he is , a raw young defensive midfielder. Who is a gamble .. That is our central midfield there , and that is where our biggest problems are. No power , no drive , no creativity, no tactical awareness. , no players with a proven track record of commanding the middle of the park .. Until we sort that out , we are going to continue to struggle

It’s easy to look good in a good team. He is an absolutely terrible player who needs absolutely everything to go his way to have a good game. The complete opposite of a player who can take the game by the scruff of the neck.

Like you, ive stuck up for Newell in the past. He's capable of good things from time to time.
But this line of defence 'he wasnt as bad a player x or player y' just doesn't hold water anymore. He was woeful. The shot was a good effort, but it was remarkable only because its the kind of thing he does so rarely, and was so at odds with the rest of his performance.
You know why there isnt a thread for Cabraja, because he probably isnt 100% mentally for obvious reasons and you'd be a dick to call him out on that basis. And Youan has a bit of credit in the bank. Although he wasnt good yesterday either.
I've just completely run out of patience for Newell.

Cabraja shouldn't be playing then because he cost us a goal. Give him the time he needs to deal with something far more important than his job.

Youan has been very very poor in our last 2 away games. Not looked like scoring in any game. Not sure I'm seeing what others are. He's not very good.

Him not being as bad as X or y does hold water when he's still the one entirely getting the ****ing blame again. Post after post on him. Every time. It's ridiculous. 11 guys failed yesterday, not 1.

Newell gets more stick because he’s a constant. He’s been largely pish for ages but he’s in the team every single week.

Cabraja had a really poor game yesterday but that’s the first one and he’s only been here 6 weeks or something.

It was totally predictable what we’d see yesterday as soon as you saw the team. And that’s largely down to watching the likes of Newell produce the same over and over again.
