Jeggy Jimmo

[LaMotta]

As someone who had been extremely critical of Jeggy Jimmo during John Leeson's time here, I have to pay the Jeggermeister some well deserved respect for his performances since the previous manager got the Ruud Gullit.

He's gradually got better and better since Villa away and looks like an essential part of the team. Thought he was tremendous tonight. All hail Jeggy Jimmo!

I think the system we are now playing really suits him. The emphasis in attacking is on our front 4 and full backs while the two centre mids can lie deeper, help out the defence and play more simple passes to start off moves.

Well worthy of his place in the team at the moment.

[WeeRussell]

Lots to like about that post. ‘Jeggermeister’ definitely the favourite though.

I'm away for a Jeggerbomb to celebrate.

[hibee_girl]

He’s been my MOTM the last two games

[jeffers]

Yup I thought he was really poor but he’s been excellent since Monty came in.

[Carheenlea]

For someone who's main criticism has been a lack of passing ability who'd have thought he would be a key component of a passing side.

The Scottie Allanesque defence splitters are perhaps going to be thin on the ground, but keeping play moving and short quick passes to manoeuvre out of tight areas is something he's quite adapt at. Has a bit of bite too to niggle away and win loose balls.

Very good tonight.

My motm

[Alfred E Newman]

He is certainly flourishing under this new regime. Excellent tonight but Newell my MoM. Another who is enjoying having the ball at his feet instead of chasing second balls all the time.

[HibeEC]

I think we'll see many players flourish now that Lee gone son!

The new manager's crazy tactics of actually passing the ball on the deck to people in the same colour of shirt is definitely suiting Jeggo. And everyone else.

I heard you twice the first time!

I know I messed up first time.

[The Harp Awakes]

Didn't like him much at all during LJ's time. He's been brilliant since the new Manager came in. Thought him and Newell were Hibs best players tonight.

[Hibbyradge]

I've liked him since he arrived and I just couldn't understand the excessive criticism he was getting.

[LewysGot2]

He's been great since Villa Park. As soon as LJ went and SDG gave him back his midfield role. It's 5 games on the bounce of impacting games. He covered a few erses tonight.

[tamig]

Man of the match again for me tonight although he dropped off it for a bit just after the three subs came on.

[Stevie Reid]

I've liked him since he arrived and I just couldn't understand the excessive criticism he was getting.

Likewise.

[Ozyhibby]

Even when Johnson was here, our results were better when Jeggo played. He has limitations but it’s important that someone is playing that role.

Jimmy Jeggo's a good player who I think has got quite abit of unfair criticism . Does what he's in the team to do and does it well while giving 100% .

[matty_f]

Same here.

I still don’t see a Lego Jimmy Jeggo in the club shop.

:faf: now that made me laugh

[Jakhog1]

Think a lot of players will flourish under Monty, looking forward to when Dylan Levitt returns from injury

[Liam89]

Naa I think he’s been rotten ;)

[Alex Trager]

Played really well last night I thought. Him or Miller for MoTM for me.

[JimBHibees]

Yep definitely more suited to our more possession based style which as a fan is so much more watchable playing a more intelligent and progressive style of play.

[Dashing Bob S]

Our most effective performer of late. Nick knows how to get the best out of players.

[greenlex]

This.

[Irish_Steve]

He's been disappointing of late, I mean, when's the last time he was booked????

I cant wait till Melkerson gets back in January - I think we have seen enough of the recruitment team to know they have picked up some great players with resources we have... I just can't believe we have seen anything near what he is capable of and led to his recruitment to be seen as a bit of a coup

Yeah, he is another one who I think Monty is more than likely to get a tune out off, not really followed how he is getting on but January is not far off and all these players could feel like new signings

I was delighted when we signed Levitt and a combination of getting played out of position and then his injury didn't do us any favours, no way have we seen the best of him yet.

[EdinMike]

Jimmy Jeggo is the unsung hero in the middle of the park, even Joe Newell pointed it out !

Sold out . They don’t last long on the shelves

Can't say I'm all that keen on his hair.

[1875M]

Glad Jeggo is getting the recognition he finally deserves. We were better with him in the team under LJ and now him and Newell are our best midfield 2 under NM. He’s no world beater but he’s a solid pro who understands his position, does the basics well and allows the better players to go and play.

[portycabbage]

When he’s in defence mode, everybody and their friends know you canny meg a Lego Jimmy Jeggo - especially with his legs closed.

[s2hart]

Jeggo looks a different player under Montgomery, biggest improvement has been his passing, another solid game today and a cheeky edge of the box bicycle kick attempt 😁.

[LewysGot2]

Another good outing. 👏

[Billy Whizz]

Best game in a Hibs strip. Can’t believe the sponsors gave the MOTM award to Newell. Joe had an ok game, but Jimmy was everywhere

[Brightside]

Did his job well again. But we need to change up against teams like that.

[LewysGot2]

Best game in a Hibs strip. Can’t believe the sponsors gave the MOTM award to Newell. Joe had an ok game, but Jimmy was everywhere

And they played side by side - so an easy enough comparison. Someone obviously wanted to meet Joe.

[JohnM1875]

Wasn't even close eh? Jeggo was brilliant today. Newell was fine.

[gaz1875]

Jeggo's best game for me, and clear man of the match.

[Tambo]

Played very well again today for me and looks to be a key player for us under Monty.

[judas]

Only saw the first half and thought Jeggo was a weak link. But can’t speak for the 2nd half in which I assume he was far better. But fundamentally I don’t think the guy is a good footballer.

I was impressed with Miller who is aggressive and takes responsibility. He knows how to mix it a bit and can play a bit too.

[Victor]

I thought Jeggo played well. Falling back into defence when required.

Think he has been good recently personally thought he was better than Newell today

[A Hi-Bee]

Jimmy was fine today, its a squad game, Montyball we love it.
:flag::flag:

[Broken Gnome]

He's a much better passer than he was initially given credit for. Nothing wildly creative, but he's good and brave enough to fire in it into feet and break through whatever press an opposition have.

A good part of the team at the moment.

[jeffers]

Absoluteiy. I thought Newell was poor today in the main.

[coldingham hibs]

Definitely better than Newell and had another good game. I’d have preferred Levitt coming on for Vente and keeping Jeggo on.

Agree Vente should have been subbed he was knackered. Would have brought Campbell on for his running near the end.

[Pretty Boy]

It's a conundrum for Monty if he wants to go with only 2 in the middle. Jeggo was ok today but when Levitt came on you saw the quality he offers in possession. He always wanted the ball and generally did something positive with it. For all Jeggo has improved his all round game in recent weeks he doesn't offer anything like as much in a creative sense as Levitt.

Long term I think it will be Levitt and Newell as the middle two with Jeggo coming on to shore things up or starting when we need to switch it up and put another body in there.

Agreed, but I think if we had Levitt on with Newell at the start, we'd have been overwhelmed totally in the midfield. Jeggo was essential today, I think, at least in a formation where he had two wingers. But it was a good move to bring Levitt on later when legs tired and play was stretched and where he had more opportunity to pass and run.

I love the nads on Monty, though some of the formations are a little scary.

[Skol]

Jeggo has an important role in Monty’s team and does the job well. However, Levitt looked the part when he came on and give both an option and a headache.

Jeggo was much better than Newell today, who was probably our real weak link.
