Moriah-Welsh

[JohnM1875]

Quite surprised there wasn’t a thread for the boy after today’s game. He’s everything we’ve been missing in the midfield. What a player.

He’s going to make us serious cash.

He's made a massive difference to the way we play, and he's an absolute joy to watch. He's got a bit of everything about him, tenacious, quick, covers a load of ground, gets stuck it, can play a pass...

His arrival, more than any of the other signings, imho, has been the catalyst for the upturn in our performances, not just because of his own form but because he's brought something that's been missing from the midfield that allowed Monty to change the system effectively.

[Northernhibee]

He shares the same trait as John McGinn that he makes everyone around him look better - and I mean that in a very good way. He gets everywhere and makes his team mates job easier and is invaluable as such.

[Hibeesdaft16]

He's going to have a very fine career in the game. Hopefully with us for the next few seasons. Does his job well which enables the ball players play ball.

[ElginHibbie]

Clearly destined for a level higher than Scottish Premiership, but a couple of years with us will set the lad up well for the future, sort of player hope the Foley deal means we see more of

100% agree, exactly what we've been missing in midfield! Been a great addition, and what's better is he's ours!

[LaMotta]

I found it mad when people were on here saying that Jeggo was a good player and vital to the team, and thought it was largely irrelevant that his passing was abysmal. Moriah Welsh is a major upgrade. Bags of energy and a couple of excellent passes today that Jeggo just wasn't capable of making.

[Unseen work]

It’s mental the difference having a midfielder that is a willing runner/presser.

Fantastic attitude.

Also very comfortable on the ball.

Really like him so far, made a huge change to our team and style.

[BILLYHIBS]

Just what we need can take the ball in make a pass make himself available bags of energy and can go box to box

Well done whoever unearthed this nugget

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Delighted we have him on a permanent deal. Looks a player.

[Hibeesdaft16]

For all the crap we have brought in over the past few years and recruitment has been slaughtered, Jimmy Jeggo out and M-W in is an incredible piece of business.

Your praising our club for it's business in recent years with words of " crap " really ? Comparing Jeggo and Moriah Welsh is daft right enough as they are totally different types of midfielders btw though .

I'm saying freeing up a wage by offloading Jeggo and replacing him with M-H is sensational business. They aren't two totally type of midfielders either, ones a standard we need and one isn't, that is the difference.

And I said for all the club has been criticised for the crap they have brought in, yes, because it's true. Everyone and their dug is blaming the state of the squad before the window as the reason we are in the mess we are in and that's because of transfers isn't it? This business should be commended though, just as I said. As should a couple of our recent loan signings too.

You shot, you missed, cheerio. :bye:

One was a defensive midfielder who broke up play , at the time we got Jeggo he was exactly the type of player we needed at the time , wither you like him or not he always gave us 100%.

Moriah-Welsh isn't a defensive midfielder which I thought would have been obvious to most hibees.

We have recruited poorly at times though it has also been really good and not all " crap " that your implying btw with us signing Boyle back , Vente , miller , youan etc ..

I shot ? , I miss ? Ok Dafty 16 ��


Pardon me? The only thing I can work out from that is the petty name calling.

Genuinely mate, that's the last thing you are doing. You really need to get over yourself though.

[raeburnhibs]

It was pretty early; maybe 58 minutes? Agreed though re midweek. That's what I said to my friend as we both looked at each other wondering why he was coming off. Amos was fine though, played a couple of nice passes; will get better with more minutes. Mariah-Welsh definitely looks a player.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Agree with the positive comments about this lad. After just a few games he already seems to have brought much needed drive and energy to the middle of the park ... gonna end up a fans favourite if he keeps this up.

[Donegal Hibby]

He is right. We've signed a lot of crap recently. Thats why we're miles away from where we want to be.

Our signings over the last 3 transfer windows have been pretty good . If you want to go back further than that fair enough I agree though don't see many of them at us now .

Trying to make a comparison with Moriah-Welsh and Jeggo who are two totally different player's is wrong and why anyone would want to have abit dig at Jeggo anyhow is beyond me . Guy give us nothing but a 100% any time he played which was my beef with yet another negative post from the OP .

To get things back on track Moriah Welsh is exactly the type of player we have been needing and could prove to be our most important signing . Delighted we have him on a contract too. Recruitment have done excellent in getting him like our other signings this window too 👍

[Smartie]

MW is an upgrade on Jeggo - top marks to Hibs for making this happen.

Jeggo though was decent enough and offered us something we didn’t have when he joined.

I don’t see why praise for MW needs to be accompanied by digs at Jeggo, who did a decent job for us when called upon.

My comment wasn't a dig at Jeggo, Smartie, Donegal interpretated that incorrectly. Swapping Jeggo and freeing us of his wage for Welsh was fantastic business was my point.

And the last three windows haven't been brilliant either, DH. Otherwise the majority of posters on here wouldn't be blaming our crap league position on the squad of players we have. January has seemed to be a success apart from sorting out defensive issues.

Jeggo was alright. That's about it. It's why he's left.

[Hibeesdaft16]

He left our midfield, freed up the wage and as soon as we did we brought in MW.

[blackpoolhibs]

We freed up a wage and sold Melkerson for £1m, big Doidge left freeing up a wage too, along with MW, they also dont play the same position as Jeggo.

I never once said they did mate. All I said was swapping the players was fantastic business.

Melkerson money should have freed up funds imo to sign Jason Kerr on loan but that's another story.

It seems it was one in one out in January without Melks sale. Jeggo left, MW came in.

[Spike Mandela]

Without being disrespectful to previous players who gave their all and filled a role, it is fair to say, that if the aspiration of the January window was to ‘get in better than we already had’ then by and large it was a success.

:agree: , different type players and we didn't just go out and get MW after Jeggo left either . I think we had Amos training with us and he was signed before MW too .

[CapitalGreen]

Jeggo started only 1 of the previous 12 league games while he was here (that start was when Newell was unavailable). We have replaced a player who couldn’t get a game in a horrendous midfield with a player who will be one of the first names of the teamsheet each week.

I suspect that if Jeggo had started more of those games in place of Levitt then our points haul from those games might have been greater.

Especially if it hadn’t been in an f’ing 442.

[LaMotta]

I brought up Jeggo.:greengrin

I think the comparison with him is entirely valid - both him and NMW take up a non attacking midfield slot. There is a difference with our formation now of course too (which probably didn't help JJ overall), but they are midfielders who are not operating in the final third very often. The major difference is, from early displays, it looks like NMW has a lot more in his locker as an all round midfielder. It feels like people are saying Jeggo was a different type of player to justify the fact he was a midfielder who couldn't actually pass the ball very well.

It wasn't really a dig from me at Jeggo - I liked him as a person, he had a great attitude and always gave 100%. It was more a recalling of people claiming Jeggo was vital to our team at any point - I feel that was always way overstated.

[WestStandWillie]

Wonderful player - get a contract extension sorted pronto.

See, I don’t see the need to slate Jeggo in any way but he’s the kind of player we’ve signed over the years that we think is pretty decent at the time, but just not at the level we need to have in the midfield. The midfield that started yesterday (even with newell in it) is ridiculous compared to what we’ve had since the Scottish cup team.

[hibee1875]

Hopefully just managing him for midweek. He does cover a lot of grass.

I think it was a case of managing both players. Getting more meaningful minutes into Amos and giving MW a rest before Wednesday

[Hibernian Verse]

Shhhsh. Don't tell the poster above that.

When we signed Jeggo ( defensive midfielder) he done a good job at the time though the way Monty was wanting to play with only two in midfield he probably wasn't the type of player that suited him which is why he didn't play so much towards the end .

When Jeggo left we didn't go out and replace him with Moriah-Welsh as been said , Amos came in before him . Moriah-Welsh and Jeggo are to totally different types of midfielders , it's abit like trying to make a comparison with chalk and cheese which the OP was trying to do .

Jeggo got dropped at the end of last season by LJ and he was pish at the start of this season under LJ - I am not sure losing his place in the team can solely be laid at the feet of NM.

Jeggo wasn’t suited to the team because he struggled to pass the length of himself, I cant think of many central midfielders I’ve seen play for Hibs with worse passing than his.

I don't think its like that at all. They occupy similar spaces on the pitch, like a piece of cheese occupies a similar space on a toastie. It's more like comparing a Kraft plastic cheese slice with a nice piece of Scottish Orkney Island Cheddar.

Chalk and cheese would be goalie and midfielder (and I'm not putting chalk on my toasties):greengrin

[JohnM1875]

Of course you can compare Jeggo and Moriah-Welsh. Both play central midfield, will be asked to track, tackle, close down and then move the ball forward when they have it.

Sure, Moriah-Welsh will be more box to box than Jeggo was, but they both play(ed) the same position for us.

His passing definitely wasn't one of his strengths alright though as a defensive midfielder his job I felt was to sit in front of the defence and break things up , apparently he was quite vocal on the pitch too .

Moriah-Welsh is more high energy , covers more ground and is a very good midfielder who we are lucky to have got but he's not DM , I think amos can play the DM role though.

I wouldn't say him losing his place in the team was solely down to him not being suited to playing the way Monty wants us though I do think it was part of it tbh .

Anyhow I don't see the comparison between Jeggo and Moriah Welsh just the same as I don't see it with say the likes of Rodri and De Bruyne either

Abit of a mis- match there if you were to ask who was better between Rodri or De Bruyne I'd say they are two different midfielders with different attributes and again I don't think you can make a comparison between the two , much like Jeggo and Moriah Welsh are imo .👍

Same. Think he’ll be better on the ball than Moriah-Welsh. Won’t buzz about as much and be in the oppositions faces, but think Amos will be a big player for us too.

[Donegal Hibby]

I’ve never mentioned Amos

I know you didn't mate , just thought I'd show it after been shot down for saying Amos can play as a defensive midfielder is all 👍

Decent analogy. :agree:

[VoltaireHibs]

What about Jeggo and De Bruyne? Who’s the better midfielder?

Vela. 😁

[truehibernian]

Jeggo just isn’t very good. This young lad is a different level.

This in a nutshell 👍 really nice lad JJ but not a good footballer and certainly not at this level. Didn’t offer anything meaningful to a bland midfield. Now we have really good options and technically much better players and decision makers in there. More energy and more creativity too. I’d add JDH in the same mould as JJ too. Too safe a footballer, injuries aside, offers very little dynamism or creative spark. Once injury free I’d be encouraging him to find a new club if he can. Levitt has all the potential but needs consistency added to his game and he needs to be much more concentrated in his passing and decision making.

[bringbackbenny]

Wonderful player - get a contract extension sorted pronto.

I think he's great as well but let's hold off n a new contract for a wee bit yet - remember the JDH error 😉

[JohnM1875]

Could be wrong but it's an initial 18 months with an option of a further year right? Might be worth revisiting at the end of the season.

[yerauldda]

Some strange takes on Amos. I thought it took him 5 minutes or so but he was generally very good when he came on.

Snap

[Tambo]

Missed both the Inverness and Aberdeen due to being tired from 6 shifts in a row on nights so yesterday was the first real chance of seeing him.

Brings a lot of energy to the middle of the park and looks decent on the ball, let's others players do what they're best at also.

[04Sauzee]

He was, thought he was very tidy. The good thing is he's getting more and more game time. A good pre-season and we will see the best from him

[ruthven_raiders]

Maybe not Amos, buddy.

But, defo M-W.

[ruthven_raiders]

Suppose it's a squad game, both will be in and about midfield places, Amos once up to speed maybe will be ahead of Moriah Welsh...who knows what will happen over the summer transfer window

[HendoDelivered]

Maybe not Amos, buddy.

But, defo M-W.

Know something in regards to Amos?

[HoboHarry]

Maybe not Amos, buddy.

But, defo M-W.

Didn't he sign an 18 month contract with us in January?

[VoltaireHibs]

What I like about M-W is his appetite for the game. McGinn was the last player we had that looked like he loved all aspects of the game. I suspect his biggest fan is Joe Newell. He hasn't half taken the workload off him. Also, M-W seems to be able to take the ball in any situation and he's comfortable. Terrific acquisition, well done the recruitment team.

Exactly this - not only has he energy but anticipation which means he thrives on ball winning. Jeggo ran about like a clueless chicken and more often than not his lack of awareness led to a booking or giving up set pieces in dangerous areas. I’m genuinely baffled that folk saw Jeggo as a good addition - I honestly thought he was an awful footballer, technically and generally. Ball retention, tackling, passing - all simply awful for me.

[JimBHibees]

Didn't he sign an 18 month contract with us in January?

He did. Slow steps with him however thought he looked decent when came in against Dundee a decent turn of pace when broke away near the end just over hit the pass to Tavare.

[J-C]

Lovely seeing stupid arguments from the same suspects over absolutely nothing on here as per usual, this place can grind you down reading it at times.

My take on MW is he's a very good player with a good engine, if he develops like we hope, he'll be away by the end of next year.

[KWJ]

So far M-W has been a big plus for Monty.

From what I could see of him before joining Hibs, there wasn't too much to be excited about.

Monty spoke up about his work rate and tenacity saying that's what the side has been missing. I was worried that this meant he had a really low bar as a footballer, similar to JJ.

It's been a great surprise then to see that M-W can play a bit but the praise to Monty as well because he was bang on that we needed that energy in the team to bring some spark and urgency.

Newell and Vente cover every blade of grass but M-W does it like the the Tasmanian Devil and it makes a big difference.

Hope he keeps it up.

I know what you mean by the place can grind you down at times as I to find that myself abit when reading a lot of negativity as well . As one of the posters your referring to I apologise mate 👍.

As for Moriah-Welsh I agree we have a very good player with a good engine , type of player we been needing for awhile now . Hopefully we get can get him on a longer contract though.

[MWHIBBIES]

Not really very happy that he's getting called MW.

[matty_f]

You should see how he feels about it.

[Hibernian Verse]

Moriah-Welsh v Baningime could be where it's won & lost in midfield. By all accounts the latter is having a great return to their side.

Yes, I think that’s correct.

They’re getting Devlin fit.

[Centre Hawf]

I think Amos probably looked the best he'd been on Saturday when he came on, think it's clear to see how much rust he needed rid of and match fitness back into the legs. He'll get there eventually but I am looking forward to him with a pre-season.

There was one run he made and just sadly played the ball ahead of Jair where I was very surprised at his turn of pace and want to drive when the space opened up. Will be a good player in time I think.

Yeah, I thought he looked good when he came on, misplaced a couple of passes but his overall game was good. He'll improve with games.

Think the same. He’s going to be a massive player for us when up to speed.

We’ve gone from having a weak as piss midfield to having something potentially special with a few good signings.

Hopefully more to follow in the summer as well as can’t imagine Emi still being here.

Thought he was really good.

Wins the ball back well, anticipates play, takes up good positions and tracks his runners.

Also very good on the ball and has ability to drive forward.

Really looking forward to seeing him/our midfield when he’s fully fit.

[Ronniekirk]

Welsh needs to play as long as he can in the derby His Energy and drive and determination are exactly what we often lack in a Derby .Just needs to be sure he doesn’t get over enthusiastic and get sent off .
When he went off v Dundee he was defo missed

Don't think we've really lacked drive and determination in derbies for years now. Its quality we lack.

[Walter]

I've got the fear that Bournemouth have a buy back clause

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I've got the fear that Bournemouth have a buy back clause

Of course they will. The flip side of this is that without our link to Bournemouth we would never have got Moriah-Welsh in the first place.

We are going to have players here who are a level above and because of that, they’ll get moved on to Bournemouth, Lorient etc after a year or so. However, give me that any day of the week as opposed to bang average players on three year deals that we struggle to a) move on or b) get any semblance of sustained quality from them.

[Mikey_1875]

If we can keep him long enough I think he will become captain of the team as he was at Bournemouth youth. Leads by example and it’s been a very impressive start from one of our lower profile signings of the window.

[Smartie]

Spot on.

A bit like worrying about a manager being headhunted by a bigger club, this situation only happens if someone is a resounding success at Hibs - hugely preferable to being shuffled out the back door with some sort of settlement on the remainder of their contract.

[.Sean.]

Of course you can compare Jeggo and Moriah-Welsh. Both play central midfield, will be asked to track, tackle, close down and then move the ball forward when they have it.

Sure, Moriah-Welsh will be more box to box than Jeggo was, but they both play(ed) the same position for us.
Agreed. I hate all this ‘he’s a 6/8/10’ nonsense

Any decent centre mid should be able to pick a pass, put in a tackle and cover some ground.

He will definitely get some special treatment, they'll probably take it turns. Hopefully the ref doesn't let them get away with too much.

Agree kind of overwhelming evidence though think their egos will be dented after Saturday and there will be a reaction. Up to the team and support to be hugely up for it and match them physically early doors. There is no doubt we have players that can punish them that is for sure. Get ahead and their fans will turn quick.

We have our players back and a few decent additions but we are only starting to gel after one game where we looked dangerous on the break and have the players to hurt them but can’t help feeling a blip might be just around the corner as a new experience for some of our players

Hoping Moriah-Welsh finds his form going in to next season.

He’s definitely one who gets it. Spoke to him briefly a couple of weeks ago at the Hibs First event and I thought it was obvious he wants to do well and wants to be here.

Things like that wee video are all good wee things.

[wookie70]

Well done NMW. Looks a nice guy and definitely a player who gives it everything

[The Modfather]

Thought he came onto a good game today, caveated against poor opposition. Think there’s a very good player in there if still raw. I’d have him as my first pick in midfield and then work out who around him will help get the best out of him and develop his game.
