You can’t be enjoying this. You must know that your time has passed.

Please just retire with a bit of dignity intact.

Should have been retired by anyone with eyes after some of his clangers last season

[Paulie Walnuts]

The worst Hibs keeper since Simon Brown.

You could see it quite early doors last season. He wasn’t great, the stats backed it up and then the howlers started rolling in.

Should never wear a Hibs strip again.

Thinks saving what was basically a cross is his fault

[supermcginn]

Just can't understand why he was even playing. Stripped of the captaincy and a keeper with 11 caps signed in the summer for a fee sitting on the bench. Hopefully that's his last game.

[Pretty Boy]

I started the thread about him last season and got pelters from a fair few but the issues were clear then and even more clear tonight.

He's done and it was obvious after about a dozen games last season he was done. I genuinely thought he would have moved into some kind of coaching role or other role at the end of last season, he's already studying football directorship at uni. He can't be enjoying this anymore, it's embarrassing for him.

Yep, all feels quite capricious.

It’s a really sorry end for a player with a wonderful career to his name, but dragging the arse out of it like this is doing no good for us as a team or Marsh’s legacy as a player.

It's been obvious since early on, I think a few just didn't want to admit it. He barely saves anything, and xosts us a he'll of a lot

[B.H.F.C]

Paying money for a new goalie, not playing him and watching Marshall proceed to do what he’s spent months doing is completely on Johnson.

[Heisenberg]

Shouldn’t be near starting for us again.

[Stuart93]

He’s done. Said last season he was finished when he was chucking the ball in the net

It is indeed on LJ, however, DM simply won’t start next week.

Yup could see early doors that the reaction and agility was slower, plus lack of concentration. He has competition, no excuses get the other lad in.

[Centre Hawf]

I didn't want to admit it at times last season but you could tell by the split he was finished and we just needed to get over the line with him as we had no alternatives.

Get the new lad in next week and start fresh. Marsh can either retire or play number 2, up to him.

[JohnM1875]

Actually ridiculous he started tonight. Shocking the majority of last season, stripped of the captaincy and singed two other keepers. Yet he starts?! 😂

[Billy McKirdy]

Time for Wollacot to step up, DM deserves nothing less, he gave us prior warning numerous times last season he’s past it.

Marshall made plenty mistakes last season and got the luck to start the first competitive game of the season and made a blunder

It was the weakest shot you’ll likely see and somehow he fumbled it

What do you mean?

[Carheenlea]

A costly error. Basically gifting a goal.

Very frustrating, and with number of errors starting to amass, that feeds into the confidence of the defence and also the fans.

When you start to half expect an error then it’s time to consider a change of No 1.

Unfortunate but true - he is beginning to lose a number of identikit goals because he's just not agile enough any more.
The rest of them were pxsh as well (Newell excepted) but goalies just can't afford to make the kind of regular mistakes which cost games.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I genuinely think Marshall will start next week. Blackpool we may try wallocott for first half on saturday

If Marshall is currently being selected ahead of Woollcott then what does that say about our confidence in him. Very concerning.

Not trying to be a know it all, but I've coached decent enough boys in Sunday league level in goals and it's the same for them. Get decent players that have played at lower league level dropping down and you notice right away at times how slow they can be if age is an issue.

You see guys that know what to do, they know they coxudld do it, but for some reason their body just won't allow them to get down as sharp as before. It'd sad as he was definitely a good keeper in his day, just his day is long gone now.

Older keepers are fine if they have retained some sort of agility, Marshall unfortunately doesn't look like he has.

Watch him trying to get up for the rebound, it's actually sad. He slips but even before that he honestly looks like a Sunday league player trying to get up quickly.

That's where I am.

When he signed I thought great, no need to worry about our goalie for the next couple of years.

He has been a bitter disappointment at Hibs and has heaped pressure on himself and our defence due to his displays.

Can't just hope that he will get better. We have so many others in the squad who we hope will get better. Melkersen, JDH, Miller, Henderson, Tavares, the list is endless.

We have signed so many poor players in the last couple of years it's no wonder we get displays like tonight when we keep persisting with them in the hope they will get better.

[LancsHibs]

I took a long time to be convinced but there's little doubt he's finished.

Even after his poor finish to last season I was prepared to see him take a break over the summer, come back refreshed and maybe improve again but you just cannot accept that second goal.

He's done.

We just need to hope the new guy is better.

I've met him and he's honestly a fantastic guy, absolutely nothing against him. He's just nowhere near good enough to be playing for Hibs these days

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Wollacot and Boruc are decent replacements to allow Marshall to bow out of first team action. Whether it's the first competitive game of the season or not, a professional goalie should have no complaints about losing his place after that showing.

Has anybody seen Boruc play to make that judgement?

I’m not meaning to be argumentative, there’s no question Marshall is done, it’s just whether Boruc is likely to provide genuine competitions for Wollacott.

Worth remembering Wollacott is likely to be away at the African nations cup with Ghana during the season so we will need Boruc or Marshall.

[CL0762]

One of the worst I’ve seen for Hibs.

He was a shambles last season and has carried that into this season.

His level of performance after an initially decent first 5-6 games has been as bad as any keeper I’ve seen at Hibs and I’m sad to say that.

Absolutely no redeeming qualities at this point although he still looks quite a young fit guy. It’s baffling.

[Leith Green]

Cost us so many times last season and here we go again. The management clearly realised the damage caused last season by signing 2 new goalkeepers and replacing him as captain, So why the hell has he still been selected in our first competitive match of new season.

[Baader]

Like Marshall, was pleased when he signed but he just shouldn't be our number 1 anymore. Or probably even at the club. Quite obviously finished and unfortunately a complete liability now.

To still play him and for him then to make the type of mistake in the first game, that became all too frequent in the latter part of last season, was madness.

At least it’s happened in a game where we have a second chance. Wollacott should have the gloves now and, if he doesn’t, god knows why we signed him.

Indeed, two horrific attempts to pass the ball out he was very lucky didn't end up in the back of the net, ok not poor attempts at saves, but still alarm bell stuff.

Far too many clangers last season and this on top of it has to signal the end for him. He's had a great career, made himself a bit of a Scotland legend with that penalty save, but man its time to step aside and give the new guy a chance. This club has really built itself a bit of a reputation as a graveyard for goalies over the last few decades ... which makes it a bit less of a surprise that the only one who has achieved legendary status at Hibs in all that time is a 4 stone overweight Irishman who had barely played a game for a year before we signed him and only played about 10 games for the club :greengrin

He started off last season quite well and his kicking was a notable upgrade as was his general distribution but a keeper’s main job is to keep the ball out of net. Most of his saves were in the category that a first choice SPFL keeper would make. Errors in the 2nd half of last season definitely affected his confidence and his kicking deteriorated too. He also let in a couple of very savable pens which would have gone a long way to lifting his performance levels. I think he knows the writing is on the wall with the signing of Wallacott and the captaincy situation and instead of fighting back and showing some grit he’s withering away.
Wallacott should come in now. Charlton supporting relatives have said he’s a very good keeper so now is the time for LJ to get him in and for him to show it.

The fact he started last night is unbelievable. He’s the worst goalie we’ve had in nearly 20 years.

I’d said the other day I was concerned we were going to persist with him. Surely he has to be dropped now. He shouldn’t play for Hibs again.

Hate to say it but other than maybe 8-10 games at the start of last season I think so too.

Actually tbf I don't remember Zibi spilling shots the way Marshall seems to manage.

He couldn't set up a wall to save himself though.

He just isn't as mobile as he needs to be.

It makes John Burridges career longevity seems even more impressive.

Just looked at Budgies wiki page, he was at 7 different clubs in the 1996 season, that must be some sort of record.

[He's here!]

It's age. That's all. He's slow now, takes a year to get down and even longer to get back up

When he arrived last season he got a lot of praise for his play and for the steadying experience he brought to the team. The decline seems very rapid though. I can't claim to have followed his career closely but is he not maybe just a keeper who has always been capable of a gaffe? Think he was made to look a bit daft in a Scotland game a couple of years ago. 38 is old for most footballers but not so much for a goalkeeper who keeps themselves in shape. Is Craig Gordon not over 40 now? Budgie was definitely playing in his 40s. Zoff and Buffon too.

At least Zibi was OK outside of the errors - the errors were usually in high profile games.

Marshall can’t even seem to do the basics right anymore. His kicking which was his saving grace after his few OK games last year has even gone massively down hill.

I just find it baffling that the manager played Marshall, when we could all see by the end of last season that he was done.

It's not Marshall's fault - it's the manager. If Marshall was a young lad I could just about understand as it would be part of his growth and development.

It does seem like LJ has made the same error as with the LC last season.

We need to put on a real performance in the second leg to get morale back. Marshall should be nowhere near the squad again, not even the bench. Would rather we give Boruc a go.

His mistake the other day against Inter, his one at Celtic park and the goal he conceded against Rangers at Easter Road from Tavernier's free kick near the goal line are right up there among the worst Hibs goalkeeping mistakes I can remember (with special mention to Simon Brown). If he'd had the misfortune to make those mistakes in derbies like Zibi did, I think Marshall would be thought of quite differently.

[HIBS NUTS]

Marshall needs dropped, but as was said there has been much worse.
Thankfully we have some good spellers amongst us.👍🏻

:agree:

The difference with guys like Graeme Smith is that they didn’t play all that many games. Marshall played every single minute of every single game last season pretty much. I know from my point of view when I say he’s the worst we’ve had in about 20 years in more talking about guys that actually played regularly, there’s no doubting he’s better than guys like David Grof etc but they hardly count.

[Smartie]

Marshall started fine but if you take the howlers alongside the big saves, distribution from feet and hand etc over the last 20 games or so, he hasn’t got a leg to stand on - his current form (and trajectory) put him up there with our very worst, quite possibly worse.

At the start of last season we where all falling over ourselves with the difference in distribution between him and Macey, he’s made a few costly mistakes which have effected his confidence and he’s then tried to keep it simple IMO, he needs dropped which we can all agree on but by no means does David Marshall have my heart beating as fast as it did when the ball went anywhere near Oli,Zibi,Brown, macalamby it was alarm bells at every turn, eyes closed whilst defending corner kicks to lump him in with that company is crazy

Cause these guys where so bad we couldn’t keep them means they should be discounted in a worst goalkeeper in last 20yrs conversation, Graeme Smith was awful, a hologram of a goalie

No, you’re probably right. I was just more thinking of the guys we’ve had that played every week - Rocky, Oxley, Williams, McNeil etc. If we’re diving deeper into it and including guys that didn’t play all that often then Marshall isn’t the worst.

[SHODAN]

I can't remember a Hibs keeper making as many mistakes overall as Marshall.

Zibi? Pretty much all in derbies.

Ma-Kalambay? Terrible positioning sense, and his errors were beyond the scope of reality, but still didn't make as many.

Graeme Smith? Aside from the worst goalkeeping performance I've ever seen in my life (6-6), generally passable.

Simon Brown? Again, mistakes were limited to a few games only.

The others got very few games but were promptly released once it became apparent they weren't up to it.

[Carheenlea]

No one will be more frustrated and angry with some of the errors than Marshall himself.

An excellent keeper with many international caps to his name, but just not hitting the same levels of athleticism and reliability that enabled him to enjoy a great career.

At 38 he’s in the twilight of that career and probably might have to accept that he’s not going to be 1st choice at Hibs this season. A good guy to have around the other keepers with his experience and knowledge of the position.

I think your remember the Zibi / Brown era more fondly than me. I seem to remember one of them fumbling the ball into our net ever other game 😂

Marshall isn’t great and I want Wollacot to be given a shot as our number 1 but I would have killed to swap current ability Marshall into our Mowbray team.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Michty me folks.

[Rumble de Thump]

I expect he'll retire at the end of the season. He just doesn't seem to be as sharp and as focused as he used to be. He'll probably be disappointed with some of the mistakes he's been making. He's had a great career and is a bit if a Scotland legend. He seems like a good guy. Maybe coaching is the next step for him.

Oxley wasn't very good, mcneil hardly played for the club, only had about 30 appearances for hibs

List of keepers I've seen that were not as good as Marshall despite him not playing as well, appreciate not everyone will agree, there may actually be others than I've forgot about but these are the ones I remember that weren't very good
Zibi malkowski
Oli Gottskalksson
Graeme Smith
Simon brown
Tony Craig
Makalamby
Graham stack
Mark brown
Sean murdoch(didn't really play that much)
Ross laidlaw

The next derby game after the 7-0 against hearts, herriot got injured, we got a an on loan emergency goalkeeper from Airdrie, for 3 games , i think he let in 15 goals in the 3 games.
He was murder .😄

[eastmainsmsh]

Is wollacot any better ?

Smith was the worst, blatant that he was a jambo, or had something to gain from that game.

Stack, Brown and Laidlaw were better imo. Ma-Kalambay I’ve managed to generally forget about somehow.

I agree with all your selections apart from Laidlaw, he had a poor game in a European tie, can't remember who, but before that I thought he was okay for a young keeper just coming into the first team. He's done no bad at RC as well. Agree with all the other ones though. For me Simon Brown was just about the worst IMO.

I agree. Zibi let us down in big games but Clown was consistently bad.

[GreenCastle]

How did Wollacott play today ?

Laidlaw was steady enough, just not at the standard we needed

Don’t think he was on loan but I suspect you are thinking about Roddy McKenzie !

Was he related to the Roddy Mackenzie that played for Hearts?

[hibeg]

Don’t think so. ours was actually a good keeper, Northern Irish internationalist I think

[Hiber-nation]

One of the worst we ever signed. Who can forget the 1-4 at tynie.

[HIBS NUTS]

AYE Roddy mckenzie actually played 7 times for hibs
the 3 i remember i think
4-1 defeat hearts
5-0 defeat celtic
and lost 6
All within a week.
Now that’s PISH.
and he was playing with a good team. 😄

[BSEJVT]

Long time ago but I think I remember him being terrible away to Raith Rovers also?

[HFCbingo]

Surely there's no chance he's starting this week? Thoughts?

[MrRobot]

Surely there's no chance he's starting this week? Thoughts?

If we are to have a serious chance of turning this around then he simply can’t start; we cannot rely on him.

[Hibees1973]

My money is on him starting.

[Libby Hibby]

I think he’ll start

[B.H.F.C]

I have a feeling he’ll still be in the team and, if he does, I’ll really be wondering why we bothered signing Wollacott.

Hope I’m wrong.

[ancient hibee]

In the few Blackpool highlights I was perturbed to see Wollocatt try to punch everything. I hope that’s not standard for him.If it is we’ll lose a lot of goals as the ball goes everywhere while he’s on his backside.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I said a week or so ago that I had a bad feeling we’d let Marshall keep the gloves. I actually still fancy he’ll keep them on Thursday incredibly and if he manages to get through the game with no howlers he’ll start the league campaign as well.

[WeeRussell]

Should be able to start me in goals and still have a serious chance of turning this around.

He probably will start. Hopefully comes out this week unscathed and with regained confidence… especially if he is going to have the gloves going into the first few games of the season.

[Pretty Boy]

I only recall him coming and punching the ball twice, both times under pressure and it seemed the smart choice to me on both occasions. I'd rather that than a keeper come, try to catch it and drop the ball in the danger area.

I also thought he was comfortable with the ball at his feet. He looked happy holding it under pressure and never look hurried even when being closed down, that's a good sign for me.

Hard to judge him on 80+ minutes of a friendly but I didn't see anything that unduly concerned me.

If Marshall does start then its a worrying sign as to what the management team thinks about Wollacott.

But we know he holds Wollacott in high regard as hes played for him previously & signed him again for us

[Callum_62]

But we know he holds Wollacott in high regard as hes played for him previously & signed him again for usHe did make an interesting comment about settling in recently

I thought that might mean he will take over as number 1 soon

I'd be very surprised if Marshall starts the season in goal for us, the manager saw the same as we all did last season, with mistake after mistake resulting in some awful goals conceded.

And then in the first meaningful game he did that in Andorra, what manager can continue to ignore these signs?

If he doesnt start him on Thursday then he can't hold him in that high regard currently for whatever reason.
