Doidge MotM

[Juice-Terry]

Brilliant fae big Christian. New lease of life. Long may it continue. GGTTH!

[ian cruise]

We should be starting with either Doidge or ALF in place of Campbell right now.

[#2 Double Tap]

Doidge is magic!

[hibee_girl]

He's back to the Doidge we had when he first signed.

So glad we kept him :thumbsup:

[JohnM1875]

He changed the game when he came on. The work rate for the first goal, you're not getting that from any other striker. Great ball back in to Newell as well.

The second goal was a brilliant header.

So pleasing to see him back to his best in a Hibs shirt. Happy for him.

[Hibbyradge]

I wouldn't be giving him MOTM but his contribution was huge.

Didn't give up on the loose ball for the first goal and scored the second.

I'm delighted for Doidge, but I'd be inclined to give MOTM to Jeggo.

[Clarence]

Great work rate, great strength, great lad.

[Borderhibbie76]

Doidge like the Sept weather just now - he's having an Indian Summer - great to have him back and what a bonus

[Forza Fred]

Miller got MOM…….but Alfie’s goal changed the game and Doidge was always a threat when he was on.

[Exuberance1875]

Alf was different gravy when he came on, vente will take time to come good and settle as he looks more a poacher but we look much more threatening with 2 up top and Boyle and Youan out wide in the midfield 4

[Northernhibee]

He never went away.

Ladies and gentlemen, Christian Doidge.

[gazzag70]

Both Doidge and ALF were class when they came on. Doidge is playing out his skin and what a finish from ALF.

[The Tubs]

New contract please.

[Baldy Foghorn]

He works his socks off, and never gives up. Well done CD:flag:

[JimBHibees]

Personally would have given Lewis Stevenson motm. Definitely cut out the nonsense he can't still play at this level.

[Mikey_1875]

Delighted he is back to form and contributing. He was one of my favourite players before his injury and today was a brilliant example of how to lead the forward line.

[Bostonhibby]

To think we were supposedly looking to let him go, glad he outlasted the then manager and delighted he is back and doing well.

Yep. He certainly is. Say it quietly though, some people don’t like it👀

[Northernhibee]

Said it before and will say it again, possibly the best traditional centre forward/target man in the league outwith the two arse cheeks.

:agree:


Happy to accept he's proved me wrong, and long may it continue

[LewysGot2]

Not long back…CD and ALF were excellent but it was a cameo performance- MotM for me was one from Fish or Jeggo. Notable contributions from Hanlon and Stevenson, Boyle and to be fair a much more secure outing from Marshall.

Great 3 points, great atmosphere in our end.

They’re just more of the industrial, streetwise versions of themselves over the last decade. Shinnie thinks he’s the son of Willie Miller…trying to referee the game whilst operating like a thug. Apologies to Willie Miller…

Duk is a good player who doesn’t need to cheat but cheat he does.

Barry Robson sounded like LJ minus the animal analogies on the radio coming back.

Feeling much better tonight. :agree:

[Cuikyhibs]

Doidge is brilliant in his position, never gives in, always 100%. Might not be the silky player some want but is effective as hell and a thoroughly a nice bloke to match. Superb today

[cammy1969]

Looks fitter than ever and give his all every game give me that every time. I think the 3 main guys unfront get double figures take that that any day

Good shout. Jeggo has no football skills whatsoever, but paradoxically one of the best footballing brains.

I for one will eat some humble pie with regards to doidge . Though he was finished and was wanting us to move him on to free up his wage , how wrong was I. He's been very good when asked to play this season and deserves to stay

He's far too inconsistent to get a mention! :greengrin

[6-2MAGIC]

I've said since the start of pre-season that Doidge needed to moved on, not because I don't like him I just genuinely felt his time at the club was up and we needed to move for a different type of striker etc now. However, I have to give him credit, since he has came back his all round game looks different... link-up play, goals, bursting a gut all round he looks a different player. He certainly looks re-focused and long may it continue.

[Borderhibbie76]

I'd say one arse cheek as those new Sevco strikers all look brutal. Give me that guy Doidge over them anyway of the week. As they said on Sportscene last night, Doidge is just brilliant at being an absolute pest to defences. A lot of his hard work and closing down goes unnoticed by fans sometimes, glad he is getting the praise he deserves for a change

Tbf,it looks exactly the same to me as it did prior to the injury.

Yep it's the Doidge of the Jack Ross era again - he was brilliant in the Covid season and the start of the following season before injury and getting Covid himself

To think we nearly gave him away for free last year to killie

[Roxyhibee]

Always loved big Doidge, a striker who can turn his hand to anything - feet, in the air, lay offs and a tremendous work rate. I think we have a similar gem in ALF. I don’t necessarily think he’s always a starter and think the new manager needs to focus initially on developing Vente and decide how best to utilise his role with someone else.

Everytime Doidge scores or assists though - it must cut through that Hibs hating utter buffoon Richard Gordon, who mocked him in his first few settling in games with us. So, yesterday must have really killed the smug sheep tw@t.

Deserves it. Had a bad injury and went off the boil. The plastic pitch on loan to Killie isn't the best place for rehab, but he's obviously worked very hard on his fitness levels in the close season, and came back stronger, sharper and faster. A great example of a pro knuckling down instead of throwing the toys and the pram, and working hard to force himself back into first team plans.

[brog]

I actually thought he looked trimmer and fitter than he ever has yesterday. Hes also now has 2 assists with excellent left foot passes when my prior recollection of his left foot was him kicking it onto his right foot a yard from goal!
Was always a fan of his effort, less his ability. Will be absolutely thrilled to be proved wrong!
PS, he does have some previous at Sheep, the game where he missed 4 one on one's, the game where he scored a superb one on one and the game where he scored the superb volley. Probably his only Hibs goal from outside the box?

[Crab apple]

I'm so glad he is still here. Offers up something different. And with ALF, Vente, Boyle and Elie we're reasonably well off in the forward area.

I'm very excited by our forward options. They all offer something different and you actually feel happy about them coming off the bench as you feel, as already been proven, as if they'll impact the game.

Think he scored from outside the box against Dundee United in the Scottish Cup Semi during covid

[Brooster]

What a season he's having, big player for us.

[IvanSproule]

Personally would have given Lewis Stevenson motm. Definitely cut out the nonsense he can't still play at this level.Agree completely he was class.

He's the same as he's been his whole career, if the main job of the back line in a specific game is just to defend the box then he always shines. Luzern at home was the same he was near perfect.

It's when we're expected to dominate the ball and he's expected to overlap all the time and become a wing back that he struggles. Should be playing Obita there in home games except maybe old firm.

Both him and Hanlon still have it.

This summer in fact… if he’d fancied the move.

[Since452]

To be fair that loan did him the world of good. Was really coming on to a game towards the end of last season. Was obviously the wee confidence boost he needed.

[brog]

I was actually thinking of that one. May have been right on edge of box and IIRC was offside but pre VAR thankfully! Good goal though!

[flash]

I wanted him gone but am more then happy to be completely wrong on this.
He looks like a man on a mission.

[LewysGot2]

Have to say I think him going off today was a big miss second half. He was working like a Trojan first half, everything was sticking to him and he gave us presence up top with Vente. He can also help out at the back at set pieces. Definitely hampered us after the ridiculous challenge that saw him have to go off and not even a yellow for the assassin :rolleyes:

We definitely missed him. Had a knock on effect a later in the game when we took Vente off but had already brought Le Fondre on and ended up with Campbell up top which just didn’t work.

[EdinMike]

Always been a fan of the big man, he’ll come right this season!

[Shrekko]

Felt he was our key man in that good first half - absolutely excellent.

Massive miss in the 2nd half in terms of the way we played. I also thought he had a goal in him today.

Hundred percent agree. He was excellent until he went off and we were not the same after that.

Mad that we farmed him out last season and we looking to let him go in the summer.

Also another observation, when logging onto Hibs.net this morning, why is it those threads criticising our players are at the top of the page, yet those praising our players are well down it. Funny that!

He was miles off it last season and needed to go out on loan to get his confidence back. It worked out well for both parties.

[Northernhibee]

Needs a new contract. Him, ALF (who doesn’t look as if this is likely to be his last season), Vente and O’Connor could be a great strike force. Focus on depth out wide and a better defensive line/midfield and we’re motoring.

Doidge has an elite mentality IMO - always works his socks off, always looks to contribute, positive in how he plays.

[Onion]

Terrific performance. Great to sees him playing with such confidence again, and hope his injury is not a long-term problem.

[allezsauzee]

I was a big fan of Doidge in his first couple of seasons but I had genuinely thought his time had been and gone. Delighted that he's proving me wrong.

He'll be fine. Physio had a good look at him on field and even tapped him on the shoulder to say no damage done. If he had a broken or dislocated shoulder or busted collar bone, physio would have noticed that. If not, then the physio should be looking for another job.
