Why are Hibs letting this guy go. Always thought he was more than capable in the games he played. With Marshall making so many errors we could do with KD now.

The guy is 25 in June, he needs to leave for his own good and Hibs need to make a space for Murray Johnson.
Dabrowski is a good character, the best keeper in the league he is currently playing in and will likely play in the Championship next season.
Goalkeeper is a crazy position isn’t it? You very rarely see a young goalkeeper get a chance and they do often end up out on loan or very little exposure to first team football, Kev for example he’s been at Cowdenbeath,Edin city, now QOS whilst also having a handful of games for us and it’s seen as well he’s 25 now he should be moving on not quite sure what else the lad could have done to make it here but I probably agree it’s the right call.
It would have been nice to have had a buy back option included but I suppose there’s no chance of that with him being out of contract now as there are signs he could be a very good goalkeeper given a run of games

I don't think he's good enough tbh
Likeable guy but not to the level we should be having (even as a number 2)
Wish him all the best ofcourse

I liked him and rated him.
Very capable deputy who never let us down, although at 25 he may want more than to be a deputy.

KD is not very comfortable with the ball at his feet IMHO. A good shot stopper who fills the goals and is decent at taking crosses.
I believe Murray Johnson is an all round better goalkeeper who will be between the sticks in the near future.

From what little I saw of him, the lack of confidence with the ball coming to feet struck me as the defining reason why Dabrowski won’t play top flight football in Scotland.
Johnson is young, but already has first team experience at Airdrie. He’s hopefully the future 1st team keeper at Hibs.

No one who was at Falkirk last summer will be surprised.

2 keepers at our 2 biggest clubs can’t play with the ball at there feet, our international goalkeepers are also rubbish with the ball, goalkeepers being good on the ball are not as widespread as your led to believe

True enough. Marciano’s footwork is poor and it’s also Craig Gordon’s biggest weakness. Still terrific keepers at our level.
I honestly think Kev is well worth having in the squad, it’s just whether he wants to pursue guaranteed game time at this point. Johnson won’t learn much sitting on our bench.

He wouldn't be getting a game ahead of Marshall. He looked like a rabbit in headlights at times.
Decent shot stopper, but below par on most other things.

He definitely looked shaky at Falkirk in the league cup but I didn’t think he looked like that often.
When he kept a shut out in a derby during his debut he didn’t really look like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

The Falkirk game is literally the only game I seen where he looked shaky. Not suggesting he's the answer but I always thought he looked good in the air and was good shot stopper. Two things Marshall has struggled with in recent months.

Made an absolutely brilliant match winning save for QOS at the weekend v Alloa in stoppage time, footage here:

His inability to communicate with Rocky resulted in him having to make a stupid save to stop an own goal.
He may have kept a clean sheet, but that doesn't mean there wasn't issues with his performance.

That's very good and against their rivals for the last play off spot.
As a result of that save they are now within 3 points of Alloa with 4 games to play.
Best keeper in the Division.
Will move up to the Championship next season.
25 in June needs to play at a good level to develop.
Interested to see how he plays next season.

Double save at that.
I like KD and think he could still make it at out level. One bad game doesn't mean he is a bad keeper but MJ has got plenty of time to improve and is probably a better option for the replacement keeper spot.

From the limited amount I seen of him he looked very unorthodox I thought.
There was a feeling of ‘he’s getting away with it just now but he won’t forever’ for me. Don’t think he’ll ever be a regular top flight goalkeeper.
