Thought it would be worth having a thread for all those out on loan. Don’t think there is one but if there is feel free to merge.

Noticed Josh O’Connor got another goal today, seems to be doing well so far.

Great that josh got another goal today.
However Murray Aiken our other young player, has played every minute of every game, in a good championship side, and has had rave reviews.
He is generally a central midfielder.

The Airdrie fans rate Murray very highly and at the moment think that he is the better of the two Hibs loanees

He hasn't played every minute of every game, but he's certainly getting plenty game time.

Working out well for them.

Can't mind which mcintyre has gone to qots, but he missed out the day as he was cup tied.

Is Murray Johnson still with us or has he gone back on loan?

Remember being disappointed that he didn't seem to be starting when on loan and turns out he would have gotten more game time had he stuck around here by chance.

He needs minutes on loan over the full season.

Sent from my Pixel 7 using TapatalkI thought the only reason he didnt play was because it was the league cup games and he was cup tied with hibs, but he played a league game or two before he was recalled due to our keeper injuries

I could be wrong though

Hoping he's one of those players who looks like a completely different player under a new manager and gives him a bit of a selection headache

I felt for Jair last season, he wasn't as bad as some had made out him to be and at times he looked like he had potential.

Never really got many minutes with one week in the squad and on the bench, the next not involved probably not having a clue where he stood.

January would of been a perfect time to get him out on loan as how is he expected to improve and adjust to Scottish football not playing anywhere.

A fresh start for him could be good 👍

Would be fantastic if Monty turned it around and Jair became a viable alternative to Youan on the left side of attack. It would certainly make it easier for the manager to persuade Youan to take on board what he has to tell him, if there was actually someone competing for his place:agree:

I'm hoping that all three of our highly rated youngsters (Jair, Melkerson, Kennah) fulfil their potential under Montgomery. Yes they haven't performed well so far, but each has shown flashes. If one of Montgomery's key attributes is getting the best out of young players and he can do so with those three it could save (or potentially earn) us a fortune.

I think we’ve treated Jair shockingly.

We announced him like he was an absolute superstar and someone we had no right to sign. That was all the club hyping him up to that standard, not Jair.

We gave him the number 10 number when he said he never wanted it.

He was quickly made a bit of a scapegoat, the first game against St Johnstone he was fine and unlucky not to get a goal or assist. The following game away to Livi he was poor on that shocking pitch and against a team he’s probably not used to playing against, since then we’ve seen very little - can I add against Livi the whole team were brutal and that includes those who know what to expect.

Johnson would come out and say stuff like he’s the best player in some closed door games but not give him any minutes? Doesn’t help does it.

The game against raith at Christmas I thought he was the best Hibs player by a mile and the next week he wasn’t in the squad.

Hopefully Monty and Serge get a tune out of him and make him feel confident again.

I agree with every word of this.

There's a bit of me wants to be proud of Hibs as being a good place for young players to come and develop. You could say that for Fish and Egan-Riley that that has been true over the past year but there's a big bit of me feels bad for how it's worked out for Jair and Melkersen and our role in stunting their development. It's not too late by any means for either of them but it's a critical age for both and I can't help but think they'd have been much better off developing elsewhere.

I share the last sentiment that there's always something quite exciting about a new management team coming in, giving players a fresh start, and sometimes you'll find something in someone that wasn't going to be found under a previous regime. I'm also a bit gutted that it's happened that month or two too late for Ethan Laidlaw at Hibs, who will probably end up doing his career fatal damage by making a crap move to a crap place and have to rebuild his career up here again in a few years, having missed out on what could have been a great pathway to first team football at Easter Road and a strong part of his career that will ultimately end up with him being punted out on loan from Brentford repeatedly.

Think it is difficult to argue moving to an EPL academy for a team who do well with young players is a crap move.

All for the youngsters going out on loan to get game time in men’s football but find this a bit of a risky decision given Cadden’s injury and the lack of another right back being signed in the summer.

Miller did have a bit of injury trouble last season, have to hope he stays fit until at least January now otherwise we’ll be forced to play someone out of position in that position

It's clear though that Megwa is way off being ready for 1st team football. Any time I have seen him he is naive and often caught out of position.

Know we are a bit iight in various positions in the team, but I'd rather see a more experienced player played out of position than see the likes of Megwa in the first team.

Montgomery has been here for a couple of weeks now and will have studied our squad prior to joining. I expect to see a lot more moving on.

The amount of players punted out on loan is a bit embarrassing and a clear reflection of poor recruitment over a long period of time. Hibs will stiil be paying a fair chunk of the salary of these players loaned out which is a drain on finances/resources.

We're paying for young guys learning their trade that rarely, if ever, go on to contribute to Hibs in a meaningful way through games played.

I appreciate there's the odd exception and occasionally one of them will come off, but I think it's fair to say we've had a pretty poor return in recent years.

I unfortunately don’t think Kenneh is ever going to be good enough on the ball to play for us every week.Think I agree with you there, I think Jeggo has shown the last few weeks that despite what many say about him he's actually a decent passer of the ball. Not at Newell's level but passable.

Kenneh's weakest aspect of his game is his passing, by some distance I'd say. I just don't see him being able to displace Jeggo, Newell, or Levitt if and when he comes back into the fold.

You can't play a ball winner with very little ability on the ball in a midfield 2.

I posted similar before but I feel Kenneh almost hides from receiving passes because of his lack of confidence on the ball. Instead of finding space he positions himself behind an opposition player. Conversely he's excellent at closing down players. I dont know what needs improving first, his touch or his confidence. Is he getting game time at Shrewsbury?

Delighted for him, for a 19 year old to be on loan, and get so much playing time, in central midfield, of a decent championship team is fantastic.
The fact Airdrie fans have voted for him to be player of the month, even better.
Glad he didn’t go to HULL CITY.

Agree good to see him playing regular with a team doing well in their league. Also would like to see him getting another shot at the club with a coach who seems able to get more out of the players.

Unless we have a break clause in the loan contract we can’t just recall Kenneh and Henderson as they are on international loans. Melkersen will be back as the Norwegian season ends this month.

Definitely needs to get another chance, he's scored four in eight for a side who are close to the bottom of the top flight in Norway.

Worth mentioning that Henderson is playing in the Belgian second tier, so maybe not quite the high level mentioned by another poster. I wonder where they've deployed him? From what I've seen at Hibs, he's been most effective playing in behind the main striker.

That list shows who Montgomery was referring to when he mentioned contracted players not contributing.

Boruc, Delferriere, McClelland, Harbottle, Kennah, Tait, Henderson and McKirdy is a lot of money tied in players who should be in the first team squad but weren't good enough. Think there's also Mackay at Livingston which means we have almost a full team out on loan.

McKirdy 28, has not played many minutes and is now injured. He's toast. Horrific waste of big money.

Nohan Kenneh, another one who has not played in several weeks so again guessing injured but not heard anything.
Kenneh 21, played lots of minutes for Shrewsbury until the manager changed. Very good defensive bid but still hopeless on the ball, hence dropped.

Murry Aitken, noticed he was back on the bench for Airdrie on Friday, so hopefully he's fit and can get some game time before the end of the season.
Hibs supporters should note his surname is Aiken. Played well until his bad injury in October and it was good to see him on the bench on Friday

Megwa starting again and O'Conner getting 20+ minuets
Megwa has progressed well in his loan. A shame he's not a left back as he is ready and would be a good back up for Obita next season.
O'Connor has played little football this season. Was given 20 minutes on Friday to get regulars of the pitch and rested for the play offs. Another loan required for him next season.

Boruc still starting regulaly for Arbroath but shipped another 5 goals yesterday
I looked at Pie & Bovril recently and Arbroath fans were praising Boruc. He's certainly had plenty of practice in an ill equipped team who at one point in January only had 13 fit players including two keepers and 5 strikers.

Dylan Tait again getting the whole game for Falkirk
Only a season left on his contract and he's not ready for Hibs. Think he will move to Falkirk on a free with a sell on percentage in case he comes good.

Kyle McClelland aging getting the whole game for QoS. He usually plays CH but looks like he could have been at LB last couple of games.
A poor start at at Queens but has improved massively and is well rated by their supporters on Pie And Bovril. One to be assessed at pre training.

Oscaar MacIntyre whole game for Annan.
First half of season at Queens and second half at Annan. Another loan next season.

Rubin McAllister last 20 mins for Kelty, think his game time has been limited.
Only a year left on his contract. Good player. A contract extension and another loan may pay dividends

Malik Zaid, got 80 mins and an assist for Edinburgh C

Will be assessed at pre season. Needs game time.

I've not really been keeping tabs on Henderson or Delferriere.
I've watched highlights of all Oostende games this season and Henderson has been very good.
Has always played when available, has played well and scored goals.
They have an option to buy but have been in financial trouble so we might get him back or be able to sell him to someone else.
No idea how Delferriere is getting on in the Czech Republic




I've added my own comments and additions which are highlighted in your post above
IMO Megwa and Henderson have improved most of those out on loan and an honourable mention for Aiken who did very well before his injury.

I have similar thoughts to you on most of the highlighted comments. Particularly happy to Aiken back and as i say hopefully gets some game time. McClelland looks to be one that has come on as well, not sure if he has moved to LB the last few games.

Suppose the obvious one missing is Rudi Molotnikov. Is he getting any minutes as from the small bits i seen of him for first team looked promising for such a young guy

Kenneh, Harbottle and McKirdy will all be back at East Mains next week and Montgomery will get a good look at them over the next 3 weeks.

He mostly has been coming on as a sub.

Rudi has played 128 minutes in 6 league games in difficult circumstances given Stirling Albion are now in the relegation play off place. The only upside is he may get more gametime in the play offs.

Massive last game of the regular season against Annan who they are equal on points with Stirling. Oscar MacIntyre is at Annan so they might be fighting tooth and nail against each other next weekend to save their respective teams. A draw is good enough for Annan to survive on goal difference.

I've been going to city games when we're away from home. Rudi got about 5 minutes and a shot on goal (which was dealt with by the City keeper whose been decent in the circumstances) but no much time to do much else.

Malek is having a good loan, loads of ball and seems one of the main men. Agreed he'd benefit from another loan at this or Champ level next season.

That list shows who Montgomery was referring to when he mentioned contracted players not contributing.

Boruc, Delferriere, McClelland, Harbottle, Kennah, Tait, Henderson and McKirdy is a lot of money tied in players who should be in the first team squad but weren't good enough. Think there's also Mackay at Livingston which means we have almost a full team out on loan.

The other players are all developing youngsters so aren't included.



Slightly harsh on Boruc, he was 18 when he signed, so I’d include him more in the developing youngsters group than the others (who I agree with you on). I think that’s especially true of young goalkeepers, they’re much less likely to get flung on for 20 minutes than an outfield player

The B team usually consists of 18 and 19 year olds, loan players not getting enough game time, and first team players not getting first team minutes. And those coming back from injuries.
I’ve great hopes for Jacob McIntyre.👍

I've said it a few times, we have a few highly regarded players. Will it be a new golden generation? Probably not but I have high hopes for Johnson, Jacob and Rudi.

Megwa like others have said has done really well on his loan spell so that is another young player who could make the grade.

Then we have players like Reuben and Blaney who have impressed at youth level.

Alot of people had high hopes for Oscar at the start of this season so I don't know if there is still time for him.

Zaid unfortunately I don't think will be giving the chance to make it at first team level but could be wrong?

Josh is another who despite looking ok for us in his cameos he has made in a first team shirt I don't think will make it at first team level.

I'm always for giving a player another chance under a new manager so who know with Henderson.

Boruc was 20 when he signed (21 now). Your point is still valid about young goalkeepers - but I'd rather Murray Johnson was given a chance ahead of Boruc.

Josh landers , is the best striker in the youths, although he has been injured recently.
He’s a big unit.👍

Freddie Owens on loan to Civil Service Strollers, played as a trialist yesterday?
Clean sheet and a penalty save in a 0-0 draw with Stenhousemuir.

Did he sign a new contact, last note from Hibs were they were in discussions
He little or no football last season as he signed as the development goalie, and then Boruc and Johnston played in front of him

New one year deal.
Loaned to Civil but was put down as a trialist yesterday.
Damaged ankle ligaments at the start of last season no sooner over that then broke his wrist.
