Looks like a couple of first team members will be getting some game time as well

Hopefully Bojang can get some minutes and goals under his belt in these games.

[Lendo]

Due to be thunder and lightning in Edinburgh from about 2pm.

[offshorehibby]

Hopefully Bojang can get some minutes and goals under his belt in these games.

That was my thoughts exactly. Get him some game time and hopefully goals will come.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I thought delferriere was at FC Edinburgh?

[Paulie Walnuts]

I’d imagine that team should give DU a bit of a doing.

[CapitalGreen]

I thought delferriere was at FC Edinburgh?

Development loan means he still trains with us in his off days from FC Edinburgh and can play for us in non-senior matches.

[nonshinyfinish]

I thought delferriere was at FC Edinburgh?

I think part of the reason for sending him there (rather than, say, a full-time team in the Championship) was so he could still train with us for part of the week and play in some of these games.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Cheers for that

[GloryGlory]

I thought delferriere was at FC Edinburgh?

Can still play for dev team, like the other loanees (well probs not the ones at Dundalk!).

[Blaster]

0-0 after 27 mins. It’s on skybet in-play

To watch it you mean? Do you need to place a bet to be able to watch it as I don’t have that option?

Just score updates mate, sorry

[stuart-farquhar]

As usual it's very blustery. Looks like a storm imminent.

3 bookings for Hibs. Not much happening otherwise.

[stuart-farquhar]

Lj here.

[HIBS NUTS]

HT 0-0
i love watching Delferriere, he’s so committed, unfortunately he also gets booked every game.😄

[Unseen work]

1-0 United

[yerauldda]

2-1 United. Tavares the scorer for Hibs

[04Sauzee]

Wonder how Bojang is getting on? I really hope he can score a goal or two soon and up his confidence.

Had an ambitious overhead kick go wide in the first half and made the keeper make a save with an angled shot .

Jair played well Oscar McIntyre and Mclelland also

Delighted for Tavares, hopefully he gains confidence from this and kicks on.

Henderson not doing particularly well on the left so interesting to see if he’s done enough to earn himself a start out there on Saturday.

[HIBS NUTS]

2-2 full time.

Delighted for Tavares, hopefully he gains confidence from this and kicks on.

Tavares was good in the second half.
Balde came on at ht, and was excellent 👍🏻

Tavares looks a good option on the left played well

He didn’t play very well.
others might think otherwise

[chippy]

Maybe Hibs have made the right decision with staying out of the Lowland league, if this reserve league and cup proves competitive with a sprinkling of first team players

[Since452]

Good to see Bojang and Tavares get minutes.

I’m not sure about that
I’m a bit concerned where our young aspiring players will get game time
Players like Megwa, McIntyre, Blaney etc. you’d have thought these guys would be the 1st on the team sheets
They’ll be playing in the Champions League qualifiers in a few weeks. Unless I’ve missed something, they don’t seem to have player fora while
Players like Delferriere and Balde are playing most weeks

Just an observation

[The dalmeny]

Was the United team quite strong also?

was there with a mate who’s lad plays for United. Mostly loan players with a few u18s.

what’s the score with the cards, was it 5 or 6 we got, a couple for dissent too seems to be a bit of an issue with composure/temperament

We still have our B team scheduled games and they will still get reserve team football.

[HIBS NUTS]

We still have our B team scheduled games and they will still get reserve team football.

I’m really starting to get confused by B team, reserve team, development games.
As far as i’m aware B team got beat by Brechin, so they are out their cup comp, this was reserve league today.
I’m presuming development team will play friendlies now, with mostly players that are not eligible for normal under 18 games.
🤔

[Brooster]

Taveres had a good 2nd half after a poor first half, Bojang struggled throughout. Balde and Miller Hibs best players in my opinion.

[Billy Whizz]

We still have our B team scheduled games and they will still get reserve team football.

We only have 2 scheduled games this month, today and the Reserve League cup in 2 weeks
No idea what other games they have before the Champions League game
As I said it’s just an observation, 1st team will always be the priority

[HIBS NUTS]

Agree balde was very good, agree with the rest.
Bojang was very poor.

What position does Balde play?

[HIBS NUTS]

What position does Balde play?

He plays centre midfield, we’re he is always very good, however he often gets put wide, to accommodate others, which doesn’t suit his style.

[Golden Bear]

How did Murray Aiken play?

I didn’t think we had a ‘B’ team. The team that played in the trust trophy is pigeonholed as a B team cos all the premiership teams are the same.

Also reserve league cup too. Is that knock out or sections?

Still the U18 league as well? I was hoping for a bit more in the way of fixtures as well for the team there building up, when does this 1875 tournament start? Really the only bunch of fixtures I’ve heard about being arranged so far

[Billy Whizz]

Groups, gives them one game a month in the cup, and one game a month in the league

https://spfl.co.uk/league/rcup/fixtures

https://spfl.co.uk/league/rl1/fixtures


Will go to the Molde home game on 5th October at ER and try and get to the Livingston away in the league on 11th October, and possibly Queens Park away in the cup the following week

My days of standing in the outside at East Mains are long gone at my age��

[Brooster]

How did Murray Aiken play?

I thought he struggled, got brushed aside for the first goal

[Stuart93]

Bit of a worry that bojan struggled at that level as well.

I can see us terminating his loan come January

[stuart-farquhar]

He didn’t play very well.
others might think otherwise

He didn't I agree. Seems to be a little weak footed. Sharp passing or sharpshooting not his thing. Ergo....!

So B team gets 9 league games and 5-7 League cup games per season along with the 1875 league which I think is around 10 games. So 25 games plus some guys playing on loan too. 2 games for under 19s in ECL at least and then regular under 18s league and cup. Seems to be plenty scope for our youth players and the B signings to develop alongside each other with a sprinkling of older guys and play against similar. Plus against the under 23 sides from England

[Tambo]

Hibs main site saying Bojang had a fierce shot which forced the United keeper into a save and then created the assist for Jair with some good composure in the final third.

Didn't watch the game so couldn't comment how he played overall.

Having watched the game today, along with other fans,who have also commented on this thread, i think everyone at the game thought he was very poor, i wish he looked good, because i want him to be a success, but for me , he was our teams worst player.

[Forza Fred]

How did Lewis Miller go?

[JimBHibees]

2-2 full time.

Delighted for Tavares, hopefully he gains confidence from this and kicks on.

Anyone at the game?

It's pretty clear Tavares just needs time at Hibs. Big move going to a new country. Hopefully starts to impact the first team. These games will definitely help him.

This goes for all players coming from teams abroad.

The league is so fast paced it would be tough for them all so we need to cut them some slack for a few months.

[JimBHibees]

True but he clearly has ability

They all will have but you even see it in England where they spend millions on players and it takes 3 months before they are on form.

Yep a lot of change at one time especially coming over and a different language and culture. Players certainly used to be given more time to settle than they do in the everything now time we now have.

[HIBS NUTS]

How did Lewis Miller go?

He’s big and athletic, and moves well, i thought he was decent.

[The dalmeny]

Are all the still photos put up somewhere? Sure this happened for previous games

[HIBS NUTS]

There was a bit of thunder, and lots of rain at the end, the drone was grounded, and a camera man climbed the steel structure at the side of the pitch, and started using a camera from the top.
I actually moved further away from him, as i thought it was a bad idea.🤔😳

[eastmainsmsh]

Wonder if Jair Did enough to be considered on the left of a 4-3-3 looked part yesterday

[munchar]

I thought he struggled, got brushed aside for the first goal

Agreed. Thought Hibs were very poor. No style of play. Loads of experience & first team players, McGregor, Stevenson, Bojang, Tavares, Miller. A very young Utd side knocked the ball about well & thoroughly deserved a point.
Bojang poor. Tavares impressive 2nd half, but body language & effort 1st half not good. Balde looks a good prospect. Always showing for the ball & wanting to play on the front foot. On loan at East Fife & doing really well there.

[Tambo]

Murray Aiken was a stand-out performer for the Hibernian Development Squad as they were held to a 2-2 draw with Dundee Utd team on Tuesday afternoon

From the main site but he match report would also have you believe Bojang had an ok game but people that was there say he was poor so not sure if Aiken did stand out.

Bojang looks like a bloke who won a raffle to get a game. I don't think the cultural shock of running about in a field near Tranent would make his general play look this bad.

On a side note the wind - at every game I've attended at East Mains - is strong and consistent. Doesn't help passing and the game in general at all. And I know we live in a windy country but that place is a micro climate for sure.

Agree all the pitches are of a superb standard, but surely when it’s windy the could play on the bottom pitch which has some trees protecting it.
Bojang was a punt that’s went wrong, now that we have numerous choices at centreforward, he will not feature for the first team, i can’t believe how off the pace he was against dundee united youngsters.

Aitken a young boy & he worked hard, but don’t think he was a stand out performer. The Utd youngsters looked far more composed.

[Unseen work]

Just on Tavares, what sort of game did he have?

Direct, running at and beating his man, getting crosses in, shots at goal, good passes?

Really hope he gets a chance again soon, unfortunately think it will only be if we’re a couple up before that happens for the time being.

He was ominous first half, and very good the second half, scored a cracking goal.
not ready to start for first team yet.

Split opinions as ever on Hibs net. I wasn't there so cant really comment but it is good to hear about the continuing progress of some of the lads who featured in last season's successful under 18 team.

The U23 thing with English sides is dead in the water - and Bojang played like he wanted to be somewhere else, utterly devoid of confidence.

[basehibby]

But ready to make an impact as a sub maybe? I hope so. Having watched a couple of the LC games he looked like he could be a footballer for us but didn't get involved enough realy. Understood he'd just arrived but we need our forward players to take the initiative - from the comments on this game it sounds like he may be finding his feet.

Is that true- re the B team games with English clubs?

[Brightside]

Is that true- re the B team games with English clubs?

I was going to mention that. Has the 1875 competition been scrapped? Kean even mentioned it last week.

[Since452]

I see something in Taveres. Very raw but there is definitely something there.
