There’s a bit on FB from Hamilton Accies., saying that Hibs loanee, Dylan Tait will no longer feature for them and that they are in a process of engagement with Hibs. Strange wording. It might simply mean that Hibs have asked to terminate the loan, but you can’t help surmising that there’s more to it.

Only started one game recently on the 23rd .
It’s a shame, very talented lad, but i would be amazed, if hibs have recalled him.
Absolutely amazed.

Everything since signing Tait has been weird

Was a stand out for raith before we signed him, even performed really well against us just prior to signing. Signed him but had to loan him out for 6 months to get the loan over the line. Obviously Ross sacked and Maloney came in but again straight out the door on loan.

Under Johnson he never made the trip abroad when Delferierre etc did.

He had the falling out with Nisbet on a night out although that’s not uncommon and then loads of rumours about attitude issue despite nothing really been said.

Lads clearly got talent but seems like he’s ruining it for himself

I would be amazed if it was us that are asking that. We probably want him to stay there as long as possible.

Some laddies have the world at their feet and just can’t knuckle down.
Shame if he’s been punted from accies, if he was that good they would’ve kept hold of him despite a bit of mischievousness.

You look at what mcginn has done and there’s your marker to kick on.

Work hard and keep a good respectable attitude and your sorted for life.

Agree with this. The life of footballer, while replete with opportunity is you’re prepared to sacrifice some aspects of the spontaneity of youth, just isn’t for everyone. We’ve all known talented guys who have loved the game as a hobby, but are not prepared to put up with the inevitable restraints and privations it increasingly requires in the modern age.

Let me stress that this is a general point arising out of the discussion here, and not related to DT. I don’t know enough about the circumstances there to speculate.

It’s enough to make you greet, absolutely pitiful (the transfer business, no me - though maybe me as well, if I’m greeting at transfers, tbf)Apart from Murphy , David Mitchell who was obviously signed as a reserve goalie for emergencies and maybe Demetri Mitchell , all of these players were in their teens or early 20s when we signed them . Melkersen got us a good transfer fee . Jasper is playing in the first division in Portugal , Henderson seems to be doing well in Belgium , was Nathan Wood not mentioned as doing well back in England ? , Harry Clarke was very good for us before his injury just as he`d been for Ross County , James Scott scored a few goals for us , Dan Mackie has shown potential ,
Most importantly , Rocky has played quite a few games for us , JDH looked good before his injury and hopefully he`ll be back soon - if he can regain full fitness , he could be a key player for us .
Can`t see us signing better players than these in this or future transfer windows so it`s going to depend on how our managers and coaches make the most of our squad .

You can’t see us signing better players than that list in the future? What a thoroughly depressing thought.

Hardly any of them played a significant number of games, or were any good when they did. The fact that a couple of them are performing well elsewhere doesn’t mean they were good signings for us.

Was this after we sacked Graeme Mathie and Ian Gordon was in charge of recruitment?

Not scapegoating but when Lee was here didn't the Board carry out a retrospective review of recruitment which led to Brian's appointment? They all agreed that the squad ended up completely bloated.

In a stable SPL side, four in and four out is all we need every season. Otherwise your Director of Football is useless in his primary function of building a well-structured first team.

A bit harsh, I think he's an average defender, nothing more than less. He has some horrific moments in him sadly that paint him worse than what he is on a weekly basis, but he is capable of playing at this level. But I'm not sure he's capable of being in a team challenging for 3rd in the league with the mistakes he currently has in his game, moments like the Hearts game are going to cost you enough points over the year to make sure of that.

Sorry, but that is bang out of order. Bushiri is not the greatest, no arguments there, but he is far from horrific. Decent SPL defender with more improvement in him I think. Not great at one on ones but I think he controls the box better than any of our other defenders. And he can bring the ball out from the back, with varying degrees of success. But until we can sign Baresi or Maldini then this is where we're at. I have more concerns about Fish, he's been poor the last couple of months.

Had a howler against Hearts and he will know it and won’t repeat it but it doesn’t put me off he listens is progressive has pace, power and is mobile gets about the park and is still quite young

I wouldn’t give up on him just yet

Fish and Hanlon have been far from perfect in recent games

Agreed, he's worth persevering with. I think he overthinks things a bit. But that's lack of experience. I don't actually think he's made any more errors than Porteous, and some thought he could walk on water. Current Status - Benched at Watford.

Rocky needs what Hibs need, a commanding, experienced centre half that's streetwise and knows this level of football and what it's all about.

Porteous was a good player for us, but think folk are forgetting the rash tackles, and the shambles that he generally was in his last six months etc. I think with Porteous he reached his ceiling with us. Steve Clarke seems to be able to get him to screw the nut, but the wee bits and bobs I see of Watford the same errors are there, the rashness and desire to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Tbh, I think Porteous is just a bit thick. Not sure that can be cured. Talented but unless something changes he'll be back up the road or dropping into the English 1st division. Possibly file under - Future Kilmarnock player.

Porto was guilty of some rash errors of judgement in his last two years

Wish him all the best but might have been better staying for another season and learning his trade :greengrin

All I am saying is Rocky has room for further improvement and is not as bad as some on here are making out

Porteous played 90 minutes for Watford on Saturday.

Think it’s a pity that previous players get slagged off in an effort to boost present players. Rocky tries hard and may come good but he is part of the third worst defence in the league.

I like the guy, did pretty well for us, wanted a move and got his move. It all worked out. At that point he's on his own. Far more interested in Rocky than Porto now, but comparisons are inevitable. That's football.

To be fair, Rocky came to hibs under Maloney. The defensive dip really started under LJ.

Only Celtic conceded less goals than us over the first 10 league games of last season. LJ then decided to switch us to a back 3 to accommodate Rocky during HT at Celtic Park, following which we went on a run of games which saw us concede more goals per game than at any point over the last 30 years. Rocky then got injured against Hearts in the cup and after that we had the 4th tightest defence for the remainder of the season.

Anyhoo, back on track. Does anyone know what Dylan Tait did to be so suddenly bumped? Think someone said he's away to Falkirk so a reunion with Mcglynn, (who, for all his Jamboesque leanings, is an excellent youth coach and very decent manager) will be good for him. Good luck to the laddie, pretty talented by all accounts, just needs the penny to drop.

I don't know but suspect from previous incidents that he is a very frustrated lad. He probably came to Hibs dreaming of playing in front of bumper crowds at ER and 2 years later finds himself still knocking about League 1 and is wondering wtf is the point.
Going by the pub incident with Nisbet he also has a short fuse and I'm guessing this has lead to a stroppy attitude during his loans that has not enamoured him with coaches and managers.
This is all speculation on my part but he'd be well advised to take a leaf out the John McGinn handbook as suggested above. Hard work, discipline, respect and humility go a long way - as well as not letting self belief spill over into arrogance. All easier said than done which is a large part of why so many talented footballers don't progress as we would hope.
Nisbet himself fell down the leagues a bit before having a moment of realisation that saw him turn things round and progress to full international caps and (relatively) big wages. I hope Dylan can achieve a similar turnaround and make an impression at Hibs.

This is all speculation on my part but he'd be well advised to take a leaf out the John McGinn handbook as suggested above. Hard work, discipline, respect and humility go a long way - as well as not letting self belief spill over into arrogance. All easier said than done which is a large part of why so many talented footballers don't progress as we would hope.
Nisbet himself fell down the leagues a bit before having a moment of realisation that saw him turn things round and progress to full international caps and (relatively) big wages. I hope Dylan can achieve a similar turnaround and make an impression at Hibs.
Hear ! Hear !

Well said hopefully he can get his head sorted whatever it is and get back on track and fulfil his earlier promise

Falkirk might just be the right place for him under the guidance of a shrewd Coach

Agree, think, as posted above, that he's going to the right place. On that note, and as unpopular an idea as it may seem, I'd happily see John McGlynn run our youth set up and I also think he'd fit pretty well with NM's ideas on the game. McGlynn's a really good coach, seems to get young players doing the right things. Pretty sure it will never happen so you can all save your rage. :greengrin
