cadden

[davym7062]

oh my god .... how weve missed that laddie

[Unseen work]

Thought the same midweek against county, his energy and enthusiasm is a huge plus and I think his forward passing is far better than Miller, he also releases the ball a lot quicker than miller.

I was a bit critical of him before his injury but been really impressed since he’s been back.

[truehibernian]

If anything he’s come back leaner and quicker - great to see him back.

[LewysGot2]

Far better football player than Miller. Technically better and reads the game better. Less physical and that could at times make us vulnerable but it's been a joy to see him back.

[andrew70]

Come back from a horrible injury as a better player.

All that time sitting with Montgomery watching video after video highlighting what he could do better must have really worked.

[BILLYHIBS]

Breath of fresh air was looking up more and picking out spare men in good position in the box

Was bouncing about like a gazelle with boundless enthusiasm I thought to myself only a matter of time before he gets crocked as he flew into tackles but luckily did not seem too bad touch wood

[GreenPJ]

Quicker? I think he is still a fair bit off it and is struggling when someone played in behind.

[Cat Stanton]

Is he OK? Looked OK walking off, but a worry to see him hurt after what he has been through.

[tonyrougier123]

Cadds is another with a great positive attitude,guys like Boyle cadden Alfie crucial to morale and giving the team a bit of quality and character. Still think we should sign his brother as well 👍🏻

[JohnM1875]

Correct

[Tarrahib]

Hope he is fine. I’m sure it wasn’t in the master plan that he would be heavily involved in 3 games in 6 days. I’m sure he will get a few days rest now before the next game.

[Allant1981]

I like cadden but I actually prefer Miller, Miller isn't as good on the ball but he is a better defender where as cadden is much better goi g forward, good to see us actually have options again(when Miller is fit again)

[tonyrougier123]

Great to have options,two versatile right backs. If we extend that to the left and sort out the centre and goalie situation going forward. Things will get a whole lot better defensively.

Honestly think Cadden is much better than Miller. Miller is still young though and has plenty room to improve.

I don’t see that, cadden isn’t the best in defence but for me Miller is a lot more rash, dives in and makes daft tackles like his booking against Ross County midweek

[Northernhibee]

Very much see it this way too, Cadden has been consistently very good since being here and offers a huge deal. Miller is still quite raw.

[Albert Kidd 86’]

If you remember, some voices were constantly criticising him before the injury because he “crossed the ball too soon”.

the way I saw it was, he was crossing the ball perfectly on time because he was trying to push the games pace, the problem was back then, our forwards were not up to his level. Now they are, both he and Youan (another unfairly criticised player) were fantastic yesterday, Youan’s assists and Cadden’s constant will to go forward were a joy to behold

always regarded him as a total bargain buy and fantastic player, and he appears to be one of us in interviews.

get both of them signed up long term sharpish!

[O'Rourke3]

The player that's returned looks a better player than the pre injured version. He always had speed but the balls into the box were erratic. It wasn't uncommon to see crosses booming out the other shy line. Since his return the balls into the danger area have been consistently good. Miller's injury hopefully doesn't mean he's going to be struggling by playing too many minutes too soon. I was worried when he went off yesterday.

[Donegal Hibby]

Big fan of Cadden ,I think he's a very good player though never seen him as a RB , more a RM . The way Monty plays though with fullbacks that push forward he will play more often as a RB .

Caddens strengths are his attacking play , crosses ,runs though defensively his games abit weak and while there's lots of games I'd play him I'd be more happier with miller against the old firm .

Good that we have two quality players for the one position though.

Miller is much, much better... at doing pointless step overs and falling over.

Cadden offers much more going forward but is less able defensively.

[blackpoolhibs]

I also prefer Cadden, Miller is just not very good at anything yet.

Modern football most teams play with attacking FB's/wingback's which suits Cadden's style of football and I for one am delighted he's back looking very sharp indeed.

[Is It On....]

oh my god .... how weve missed that laddie

Defence splitting pass to set up the 3rd goal was a moment of beauty.

[AlbertK86]

Great to have two dynamic full backs that love to get forward.

Cadden and Obita are exactly the type Monty likes as described in articles before he joined us

I agree. Miller has a few qualities, but Cadden being back is the best thing that could happen to him. He'll have to screw the nut and cut out the daft challenges/brainfarts or he's out the team. Cadden isn't brilliant at anything, but is pretty good at everything, one of those 7/10 players pretty much every week that managers love.

I agree with this, but it’s mainly down to the fact he’s not a very good defender.

[B.H.F.C]

Been pleasantly surprised by Cadden since he’s come back in to the team. Thought he did really well when he came on up at Ross County and had a really good first half on Saturday.

I’ve never thought he’s brilliant, but I do think he’s a better option than Miller.

I think the criticism was for him picking the wrong option too often. Regularly he would cross into a space that the forward was never going to reach.

On Saturday he also picked the wrong option at times. In the second half he had an easy cut back to ALF but chose to chop on to his left foot and he lost the ball.

He’ll get credit when he chooses the right pass, as it should be.

That’s about right. But some of the criticism was over the top (as always I suppose).

Not overly insightful but he kind of is what he is…a very good SPL player and one that I’m happy to have in the team.

He’s probably never going to play at a higher level than Hibs due to the flaws you highlight but that sure as hell doesn’t mean he can’t be a very good player for us.

[Forza Fred]

The plus is that whomever plays, Cadden orMiller they both know that they have to be on their toes, as it isn’t a 16 year old laddie who is waiting to replace them.

I have no preference.

I just want whomever is playing best at the time.

Great to see Cadden back, his energy and work rate makes him very useful down the right hand side.

His crossing, though, is frequently very poor. An improvement in that area would be very welcome.

Agree with this, with the exception of a nice pass forward which led to a goal, his crossing and finishing on Saturday was poor.

I made similar comments myself after the game in the "post mortem" with some pals. I felt that, as before, his enthusiasm and physicality tend to mask his shortcomings. I have no desire to simply pick holes in his performances, I only point out that his actual contributions to a match IMO are not as high as the praise he receives would suggest.

A few of my pals agreed with me but a slight majority did not. It hasn't changed my view on the player, only he can do that. I (sincerely) hope he does.

I think it's right to be critical where appropriate but still recognise that his general enthusiasm and intensity, aggression etc are a big plus point for the team. He leads by example in that regard.

😂

[ancient hibee]

He always shows for the ball and is keen to bring it forward. Is getting better at giving the ball to someone who can use it more productively. Has done well considering he had such a bad injury and hopefully will improve his match fitness .We all react to his enthusiasm.

I thought Cadden was actually looking up on Saturday and his delivery had improved

I read somewhere he had sat down with NM looking at how he can improve his game

Played well on Saturday was like a new signing

Lewis Miller needs bigger shorts 😀

[ekhibee]

All about opinions of course, but I don't rate Cadden as a good defender, he's more like Whittaker when he was younger, great going forward but often posted missing at the back. Good player to have in the squad though definitely.
