Nectarios Triantis

[Percy Vere]

Hibs hoping to land the brilliantly named ozzy defender Nectarios Triantis from Sunderland on loan (previously at, you've guessed it Central Coast Mariners). Looking forward to hearing :
There's only one Nectarios Triantis

Update - Confirmed 6 month loan

Whatever else Hibs may lack, we do not lack exotic sounding players. Some of our commentators, who struggle with English, will be having nightmares.

I guess we need to see him play first before commenting on his ability but it strikes me that Monty may benefit from having a player come in who's enjoyed success with him before and will presumably have a lot of good things to say about him to the other players.

Resident in Oz and a close Mariners observer, I admit to a feeling of surprise when Sunderland made a move for Triantis last season.

Mostly because it was his ‘break out’ season….his first full season where he was a regular in the A League after having been on the fringes of the first team squads of Sydney and Western Sydney Wanderers.

A bit of a ‘bolter’ as he might be described over here….someone who has quickly shot to prominence….

He played in a few defensive roles in the Mariners championship winning team, but there were certainly others I would have mentioned as possibilities for Hibs before him.

That should in no way be taken as a criticism of Nectar, obviously, Monty and the Sunderland scouts know more than me…and I look forward to seeing where Monty slots him into the Hibs team.

He’s definitely got ability, just needs the experience imho

Looks a really poor signing.

[sleeping giant]

Meh

[sean04]

Just send him back to sunderland. No what we're after. Needed a big bruising defender, a darren mcgregor

[neil7908]

That might have been one of the worst debuts I can remember. He looked absolutely rotten.

For a guy that's 6'3 he couldn't even handle the physical aspects of the game.

[PH91]

Not his fault we signed the kind of centre half we don't need.

Glad we never let Hanlon go because, unbelievably, that's yet another window we have come out of with him as our best centre half. I hope he can get fit and stay fit.

[thebausburst]

Another great advert for the standard of the Aussie league, who would have thought a player from a league where Cumdog is a star would turn out to be 💩.

[easty]

I’d not write the laddie off based on one game. He could well be a good player.

If he’s playing though, it should be beside an experienced pro who can bring him on, not with another 20 year old laddie.

[Wheat Hound]

2 x 20yr old loans at centre half. Brian McDermott is failing in his core role.

[Exuberance1875]

Miles off the pace and if he couldn’t get a game for Sunderland he shouldn’t be playing for us.

Monty’s mate, nothing more, nothing less. Couldn’t pass wind the day.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Just dreadful today 😔

[California-Hibs]

Scary how poor a debut that was.

[Unseen work]

The defending for the third goal was absolutely criminal.

Would have to see the reaction if that was Rocky or Hanlon.

[Scotty Leither]

Not physically equipped for this league. That's on the recruitment team.

[B.H.F.C]

It was as poor a debut as you’ll see.

Not a huge surprise. Pairing one 20 year old loan player with another was hardly likely to solve our defensive issues.

[TrinityHFC]

Two new centre halfs in and Hanlon comes out again as our best defender. Bevan I’d suggest will never play a game with Rocky and Hanlon to come back in.

Poor recruitment again for a key position.

[ChuckNor]

I can’t believe how bad he was. So bad I hope to never see him start again. Awful footballer. Bring back Rocky.

[Scotty Leither]

It's indicative of a recruitment team who are taking the piss.

It was frightening in the last 20 minutes of that game as to how many players in a Hibs strip that I couldn't even put a name to, I had no idea who they were, yet you've some on here lauding it as a "great window" - what glaring weakness(es) have been addressed in any way that makes it a "great window?"

[Heisenberg]

We don’t need experience apparently. Clear as day that Fish/Triantis was never going to work. Mind against Dundee United last season when Fish and CJ had to play together? They got totally bullied for the 90 minutes just like the two of them did today. Will Fish has come back this season a totally different player, brutal most games and costing us goals most games.

[hibee-boys]

It’s not rocket science, sign players with at least some track record of being able to perform at SPL level, not these bxxxxxxx experiments! I can’t believe people were turning their nose up at the likes of Findlay and Kerr. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just sign 2 central defenders whose main attribute was dominating the box and stopping goals! Monty can stick these ‘ball players’ centre half where the sun don’t shine.

[ShinyFantastic]

Worst centre half debut since Nathan Wood. Utterly woeful.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I felt sorry for him; he looked like a lamb thrown into the lion cage. He didn’t look like a footballer; we better hope he improves quickly,

[IberianHibernian]

I wouldn`t write him or any other player off after 1 game especially one that hardly had time to meet his new teammates let alone get used to playing with them . Rocky won`t be back for next 2 games ( 3rd / 4th match even if Congo lose semi ) and Hanlon may be out too so not many options .

[GreenCastle]

A back line of...

Ageing keeper whose reactions aren't as good as they used to be..

A 17 year old right back
A 20 year old centre back
A 20 year old centre back
A 30 year old left back

Then a midfield 2 who don't tackle or protect the centre of the pitch.

[SHODAN]

Yeah that was up there with Boateng and Wood. Again, however, like with Maolida, it's just one game.

Can't help but be concerned at the fact that this guy was handpicked as the main man to shore up our defence though.

[Ronniekirk]

Not up to it and he
was Monty’s no 1 target for centre back ffs

[Mikey_1875]

Poor debut but it’s only one game. He was turned so easily at one point during the second half. His partner Fish was equally as poor imo. He will need to find his feet quickly in an already fragile defence.

[eastmainsmsh]

Young Jacob Blaney must be miffed and Paul Hanlon also but if that’s best we can come up with then McDermott and Co all need to go

[Chorley Hibee]

I'm just surprised that anyone thought a collection of mostly inexperienced youngsters and loans were going to make any discernable difference to the utter shambles that Hibs are on the pitch (where it matters) under the stewardship of the Gordon family and Kensall.

They're the root cause of this, and I've absolutely no faith in either of them to change their ways.

If only Foley was in a position to buy them out now.

The football team is a shambles, an absolute rabble of misfits, youngsters and transients. I have no emotional connection to any of them. How I hark back to the days of Mowbray's teenagers who terrorised the OF, McLeish's team that played some of the best football seen in a generation and even the team of 2016 with Stokes and McGinn. How the Hell has is collapsed to this ?

I couldn’t believe folk talking about it being a brilliant window on paper. We totally neglected the most glaring issue. Marcondes and Maolida, despite today, will still have something to offer IMO but for all the talk of players ready to come in and make a difference, we seem to have the exact opposite.

[Not In The Know]

Yup. At what point will anyone at the club realise that 19/20 year old kids at so called decent English sides youth teams won’t be able to stroll it up here.

I think money ball and a desire to profit from player trading is the answer to your last point. No semblance of a strategy to target a cup win or anything of the sorts, just a gamble on promising stats and a mystical resale value.

I don’t think another American speculator is the solution to this either FWIW.

There’s absolutely nothing about Hibs at the moment that makes you think they’re a credible football club with a strategy that places any sort of emphasis on the success of the first team. It’s disjointed and so many decisions make no sense.

That’s the sort of situation that lends itself to conspiracy theories - and I think there’s an awful lot of merit in the suggestion that we’re a tin pot moneyball outfit who exist as a vehicle for players to pass through, for reasons other than it being of benefit to Hibs or their first team.

Yep. See also the reluctance to sign anything resembling tried and tested SPFL pros.

I mean I guess you could file Levitt under this category but he’s been a complete flop and wasn’t even a standout at the worst team in the division last season.

[BoyledEgg]

Same suspects saying the same thing as they said about Fish’s debut, and about Myzianes’ debut and probably many more debuts.

Agree unfair to right off after yesterday. Bits he looked OK but both him and Fish weren't particularly dominant against Saints big striker. From his perspective he will be thinking what absolute pub team have I just joined

[hibee-boys]

Difficult to evaluate his performance/role in how inept our record has been over last 3 management teams but his record as caretaker boss is reasonable. However, as a ex defender and as integral part of the coaching team it is fair to question the value of his contributions, like any other paid employee. I hope he’s there on merit and not some attempt by the board to appease fans during the managerial merry go round. The success of this club should always trump one man’s contribution, irrespective of how valuable that contribution was in the past. Is this now 4 coaching teams he’s been involved with? One thing they all have in common is the fragility of our defence/cross balls/goals lost at back posts etc. ‘If’ part of his mandate is working on helping us become more solid at the back then it’s clearer not working.

[LewysGot2]

He really doesn’t look 6 ft 3

Which tells you his physique is perhaps less than Rocky-esque

[hibee-boys]

Another example of how a highlight reel on YouTube can make anyone look good as he looked incredible uncomfortable on the ball and when trying to defend the box. We need to give these guys time to settle in a guess but we just don’t have that time.

[malagahibby]

The abuse on here about our players is shocking
Ok an off day -it happens -two decisions re pens were awful .

Hopefully Boyle / Hanlon and Miller back this week at some stage -3 senior players plus Cadden .

He was poor, but it was his first game for us, and it was also a couple off players 3rd game for us.

That's all i've got.

[RossScott1991]

I got shot down the other day in here for being worried about signing soo many loans and young CB on loan.

Our January window just leaves us in a bigger mess come the summer with having to sign about 6-9 players

[Greensunshine]

Partly to blame for the third goal yesterday. Allowed his man to get in front of him and score.
I won’t judge him on one game but that wasn’t a good start.

[wookie70]

A poor debut but he hadn't even been in the stadium before, first game in Scottish football, young, inexperienced(only played 36 games in total of adult football and only 90 minutes at a level anything like yesterday). I would view him in the same way as Whittaker, Megwa and quite a few of the loanees and youth players. Having one in your team surrounded by experienced players is a good thing but filling your team with them is madness. Our recruitment methodology is akin to Jack going to Market with a valuable cow to sell. You might get the odd one who makes a profit that pays for all the players that cost us(Melkerson) but the team suffers as a whole and that costs more than money.

[NC1875]

Just watched the highlights again and he was terrible, along with Fish.

Neil McCann hit the nail on the head. 7 signings and not one with any Scottish experience. We try to be too clever with signings and it doesn’t work.

We needed a solid experienced CH for years now and we’ve brought n another wee boy.

Whittaker as well at the 1st and 3rd goals too weak. Men against boys

Men against boys, that was the phrase I most used yesterday too. That applies even when their ages are similar too. Teams consistently outmuscle us and are sharper and quicker to the ball simply because they playing at a much higher intensity. Those teams have nowhere near the resources we put into sports science etc or the cash to spend on players. Like many aspects of life I think simple things have been over complicated and money spent on jobs that are not as high a value as perceived. Football still is a very simple games and like most sports where physicality plays a part you have to win the battle first and we are simply not taking up arms in most games. Hibs need a root and branch review similar to the very successful one LD did when she came in. We need to work out what the overall plan is and start thinking about how we blend current competitiveness with a long term strategy to grow players and improve the squad. The first thing that needs binned is tippy tappy, low intensity football

Obita for the first goal was terrible at their free kick, allowed the ball to go over his head, it then got cleared when the St mirren player moved in to the by line he rushed at him not gitting a tackle in or a block for the cross.

[Unseen work]

2 mistakes tonight. 1 miss placed pass in the first 2 minutes and then gave away the lead pen.

After that I thought he was really good, actually thought the whole back 4 were brilliant tonight.

Agreed and I'd hope NM will stick with that CB pairing. I'd like to see someone else take the LB position and move Obita into Youan's place, think we would get good crosses in and look a lot more solid, also less brainfarts....

[Hibernia&Alba]

I thought he did well tonight. He showed character, as it wouldn’t have been easy to keep such a poor debut out of his mind. Much improved, well done to him.

[BILLYHIBS]

A dodgy start tonight with a reckless challenge in the box conceding his second penalty in two games

As the game progressed looked decent on the ball with some nifty foot work thrown in and some nice precision passing

Once he settles could be the left sided centre back that NM thinks he will be

Credit where it's due I actually think he was good tonight, despite the penalty conceded.

Willing to give it time before I make my mind up on him, good to see he was part of a good looking defence.

I was away at the weekend so didn't see his debut but apart from a dodgy couple of passes he looks OK in defence, quite quick it seems

[Slim Shady]

I thought he was honking and looks like he’s well of the standard of SPL.

It was also pretty evident that some of our players were reluctant to pass him the ball as they know he’d lose possession with a **** pass.

Nobody was reluctant to pass to him, almost every ball Marshall played out from the back went left to him.

[Heisenberg]

He started dreadfully but definitely got better as the game went on.

[Callum_62]

Shaky start but ended by doing pretty well I thought

Showed good character after a ropey start to still take the ball and show composure

The SPL hasn't even existed for about 10 years now.

So you clearly didn't watch the game if you thought that was the case

Yip he had loads of the ball coming out from the back

I think Slim Shady has a point. Celtic were leaving Nector as the only free man first half as they were quite happy for him to have it when we were playing out from the back.. This almost forces Hibs to use him as the pass. Teams regularly do this and if theyd watched his distribution on Saturday (as they would have) it would be an obvious tactic.

He had a terrible start to the game last night but def grew into the game, which is promising.

He only lost the ball a couple of times(maybe a wee bit more) in the first half though, which is opposite of what the poster was suggesting, agree though he definitely came onto a game and seemed a bit more confident

File that second paragraph in the "things that didn't happen" file.

Fish was available to play out from, it looked more like we thought there was joy to be had down the Celtic right.

[USA_Hibee]

Hoping this has given him some confidence since the weekend and he can kick on from here. :aok:

Utter nonsense

[Chipper1875]

Utter nonsense

His passing was good, some excellent diagonals. After a poor debut and giving a debatable penalty after four minutes, he could have crumbled. He was mentally strong. Well done . Hopefully, plays on Saturday

Agree after nervy start definitely came onto a game. Like the look of him looks comfortable on the ball and has a bit of pace about him.

Wtf were you watching? Nearly everything from the back went through him. Didn’t see much of him ‘defending’ but he’s a ball player willing to get forward. The head knock could have been any player, anywhere on the pitch and that aside, he played well.

[Since452]

Rocky looks way better IMO and should regain his place when he returns. I think he'll be behind Rocky and Hanlon.

That’s the centre halves Monty wants . Challenge is him and fish are both wet behind the ears. Nowadays centre halves don’t have that agressive and nasty streak a yogi and a big daz have . Something they need to learn quickly

[ChuckNor]

Fair play to him for growing into the match. Need to see him do that for 90 minutes.

I wonder what this place would be like if Rocky had made that mistake for the penalty...

Not so sure

:agree:

[truehibernian]

Other than a shaky opening 10 minutes i thought he was excellent rest of the game. Played a lovely couple of long range switch passes, few times drove forward into space (importantly retaining possession), and looked assured.

No danger will Rocky come in to replace him in my opinion, and rightly so.

[hibsdaft]

He needs to prove himself against the huddies he'll come up week to week.

He looks a gifted footballer, but if he can't handle the physical side that won't count for much in our league.

[JohnM1875]

Still no chance he's 6’3

[Keith_M]

I'm still trying to get a decent anagram from his name.


The best I've come up with so far is....

No sectarian tits

But that leaves me with two letters unused.

[JimBHibees]

Quite tall i think

[JohnM1875]

Quite tall i think

Nah he is, maybe he just has quite poor posture.

Much improved last night though and will only get better with more minutes.

Hanlon is back in training today so quite a good bit competition for places now.

[supermcginn]

He won't be, Sunderland haven't sent him up here without us intending on him being first choice. Hanlon and Rocky aren't good enough, Triantis deserves more than 2 games before being written off

Well he certainly handled Johnston last night.:greengrin

[greenlex]

Not so sure
Me too. He is quicker than Rocky and his passing seems much better. Certainly quicker between the ears.

[Hibiza]

Keep Rocky out please .

[truehibernian]

Keep Rocky out please .

I don’t think Rocky will be at Hibs after summer.

I hope NM sticks with Fish and Triantis, let them develop an understanding.
