His contract runs out at the end of the season, and I reckon he's probably one of our higher earners. Just wondering if people think he'll be offered a new deal?

He's never really been a regular starter, and I think his best position is wing-back, which isn't a formation we play.

He's a decent footballer, but I don't think we've ever made the most of him. As a right-back, he's decent going forward but a liability defensively. As a right winger, I don't think he's got the skill or pace to make much of an impact either.

Was thinking this myself.

I’m not convinced he should be kept on based on his quality/form etc, however I think SDG will want him to sign an extension due to him being an experienced player, been here a good few years now and a good character around the place.

Also whilst I don’t think he’s brilliant, you know what you get and he’s a very committed lad who you can rely on

Wouldn’t be fussed for keeping him but I think Gray will keep him.

I don’t think he’s a terrible player but he’s one where I think we could put the wage towards someone who will be a first pick.

That said, it probably depends how things go over the course of the season.

Good in this type of game with his running and defensive cover but if you are trying to break down a team he doesn’t start (unless at RB). Tough decision as a decent player.

I think he’ll be offered a new contract but I don’t think he should be offered a new contract. Not great defensively and not great offensively, you know what you are getting with Cadden and it’s not very much. If he was out of contract at a rival we wouldn’t be talking about trying to sign him up.

I think he is a solid performer and probably worth a new deal. If you take out his long period out with a bad injury he has generally been one of our better players.

Chris is a squad player for me, who can be relied upon to come in and do a job when needed. As others have said, he's a decent wing back but he struggles defensively.

Can't see him beating Boyle or Miller to a starting spot when both are fit. Maybe time for Chris to move on.

Cadden isn’t one of our better players, he doesn’t get in Gray’s starting XI when everyone is available either at right back or right midfield.

This is it for me. When we signed him he was a a bit of a coup, and I imagine, he would have been paid accordingly. Then 2 years ago we gave him a new deal and a further bump in wages.

To me, he’s never performed for us like a high earner should, and if we do choose to let him go in the summer, I don’t see a massive clamour for his signature. We will either offer him a deal on reduced terms or he’ll be off to Killie, St Mirren or Motherwell.

It may come down to whether they see Megwa as challenging for starting right back slot next season, surely we do otherwise why give him a 3 year deal. On that basis, not sure if Cadden will be offered a new deal.

He's better on the ball than Miller but not defensively. I know Miller hasn't had the greatest start to the season but in no way whatsoever is his defending worse than Cadden.

He only signed a deal 2 years ago so i still think he'll be up there wage wise.

We won't need to offload him. His contract will be up with a shed load of other players. I don't think it will be difficult to replace him with an actual right back or an actual right winger for cheaper.

Likewise.

I wouldn’t bother giving him a new deal. He’s very average and I’d rather take the chance on signing an improvement but I’d suspect the club will keep him around.

We can’t and won’t have 15 top earners at the club and would be surprised if Cadden is one if them. He’s mobile and can play more than one position and never let us down. Don’t get the apathy to be honest. There’s better out there for sure but a new deal will be rightly offered.

Is it?

He’s been part of a massively underachieving squad for years now. I’d say he’s a part of the reason why. He’s a mid table Scottish Premiership player and having too many of them along with atrocious managers has lead us to numerous mid to bottom end table finishes. That’s a contribution to letting us down.

If Cadden leaves Hibs it certainly won’t be to go to a bigger club, that’s for sure and I think that’s telling.

In Caddens case I think people are meaning it as in when he plays he is solid and reliable

Joined Jan 21 and played 12 games to season end. Season 21/22 played 34 games, season 22/23 42 games and last season was cut short by a snapped Achilles with only 12 games.

He was here for 21 games in 20/21 and he played 12 and missed 9. We played 50 games in 21/22, he played 34 and missed 16. Played 42 in 22/23 and missed most of last season where he played 13 and missed 37. A total of 164 games with 62 missed. He’s missed 38% of games over a 3 and a half season period.

If we keep handing out contracts to guys like Cadden then we will never learn as a club. For too long we’ve been handing them out to guys that are good solid pros and work a lot.

Cadden falls into the bracket of one of those who have played their part in getting manager after manager sacked due to poor performances. Not all his fault I will say but he’s played a part in being part of the problem.

What absolute nonsense.

I like Cadden a lot but it’s hard to deny the fact that his defending isn’t the strong suit of his game - and arguably not up to scratch for a first choice premier league full back.

As cover for other players it’s probably ok and he does offer an awful lot going forward from that position.

I’m a bit torn as I like him but it’s hard to see him being a first choice in any position in a 433 / 451. Excellent player to cover a couple of positions competently though and a top notch wing back should we play 352.

This is why I think he’ll leave. He’s a wing back and 352 formation doesn’t tend to favour teams that like to play football. He’d be perfect for teams that play that way like St Mirren, Dundee and Killie.

This is where I’m at. There’s also no reason we can’t offer him a new deal at a lower wage if his wage is too high.

He probably not going to go to a higher level and no other Scottish club is going to offer him as much as what we will, even on potentially reduced terms.

I wouldn’t really be fussed either way. I think Miller is a better RB and is 4 years younger. We obviously have faith in Megwa given the recent 4 year deal and he’s not going to be happy if he’s not getting 1st team opportunities next season.

As for right mid, he’s definitely fine but there is better out there in our price range. Basically I could take or leave a contract extension but if he gets one the wages need to reflect the fact that he might be a squad player rather than a 1st team starter.

I think he will get one though.

He’s brutal at defending too. Just prior to Motherwell’s 2nd he lost track of the ball in the air for what should have been a fairly straightforward clearance out the box and we subsequently conceded the thrown in from which they scored.

Triantis gets sent off so clearly that is an error, he should stop this habit of getting booked early in the first half, but he was not part of the problem today, he was very good actually. Kwon also good.

The issues today were Myko not scoring with the header first half, Cadden not scoring second half (that one was a really great chance). Two stupid as switch off at a free kick and a throw in and then the sending off. Why Hoillett was subbed by Gray at that point I don't understand. So 5 moments, messed up them all; that's the game right there.

We were actually good today and should have won.

Tyler Durden

A massive mistake by Gray to put his faith in Cadden and Campbell today. Both did ok last week mainly out of possession.

It was totally predictable that we’d need different options today against Motherwell. Campbell in particular, is just not capable of playing the role in a game like that.

Cadden should be considered for RB only. Toss of a coin as to who is worse between him and Miller.

Triantis did a fair bit of good stuff today but he also made a number of stupid mistakes. He was way below his usual excellent standards that we’ve seen since he returned. He was way short of very good. Miller and Cadden on the right had no cohesion at all. Miller needs to stop throwing himself on the deck constantly. Kwon was also well short of the standards he’s set to date.

Gray screwed up today with the lineup. That team is fine for a tough shift away at Ibrox but not when you should be on the front foot at home.

Yet we were pretty good first half

For a guy that gets himself into some great positions his final ball is atrocious. He maybe puts in one decent cross in 20, it's as if he practices hitting the first man.

He simply shouldn't be starting for us. It's that simple for me. Not good enough at any one thing to be a starter.

You could add a few more to that list.

We made a few chances yes, but some of the play in the first half was poor. Especially down the right. A lot of ponderous stuff and the only real bright light was Hoilett.

Him and Miller on the right hand side in the second half really were pathetic.

The whole of the East Stand witnessed the pair of them at close quarters.

Abysmal.

The whole of the west stand witnessed them as well. Believe me , it wasn’t good viewing.

If we're even considering giving guys like Cadden an extension then that tells me we've learned nothing from the last 5 years or so of horrendous footballing decisions.

It's been clear since his first season with us that he's far too limited to take us on a level. Someone else put it perfectly earlier, a player who's biggest weakness is both his attacking and his defending. He has a good engine but absolutely no real quality to make the most of it.

There are broadly speaking two types of player who make it as pros in our level of football, those who are technically very gifted with great attitude, and those who are physically gifted with great attitude. He is the latter in terms of his fitness but no quality, what's the point?

Today was revealing as to why we need to think beyond Cadden. Athletic and not that bad but struggles to pass well or do the right things in key moments

Wonder when we’ll announce his contract extension. Nothing would surprise me.

We’ll probably offer him a 4 year deal too.

It’s all okay because he’s “a hard working honest pro”.

It’s like the ‘never lets you down’ quote. He does, all the time. He shouldn’t be starting in that position in a game like today. I can’t believe he remained on the park for so long.

Hopefully puts to bed the chat he's better further forward as well. Nowhere near quick or good enough to play as a winger.

He’s just never a right winger in a front 3

He’s a right wing back in a hard working team

He’s not creative and only beats men from a deep position with his running

:agree:

The fact people keep putting him into there starting 11s as a winger as mind blowing. I know that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things what the fans think, but today showed why he should never be anything other than a RB or RWB and even then, he’s not very good at that.

Finished. Such a severe injury takes away the little burst of pace needed at this level. Championship level now, just hopefully not with us.

Put it this way. If I'm an SPL left back lining up against Chris Cadden I'm rubbing my hands with delight. The same could be said about right backs lining up against Nicky Cadden. It's like watching old men trying to play football.

Whole team today was so slow.

Myko drops in - no one runs beyond.

Wide players get the ball in good areas but due to lack of speed opposition catch up.

We need Boyle back but at same time he’s not as quick as he used to be.

Junior was our best player by a distance mainly due to his game intelligence.

Cadden is done - the injury came at the worst time for him as he was playing well before it. Issue is he’s not a defender / he’s not a winger.

Couple of years ago during the Maloney season I posted on twitter that Cadden wasn't as good as people were making out. I got a fair bit of abuse, I've never been able to understand it - how he won player of the year that year is a mystery. Poor defensively, rarely assists, rarely scores, rarely finds a man with a cross. I genuinely don't think enough fans really know what they are watching on the pitch.

Couldn't believe he was getting his name chanted by Block seven after he got subbed off today TBH.

Cadden's problem is knowing exactly where and how to play him. At Motherwell he was a hard working right midfielder, no real great pace but good in a 451/442 system, he then went to the States where they converted him into a RB, he comes back over here and he's played as either a RB or RM but just isn't good enough as a winger. I still prefer him at RB over the ever falling Miller who in my opinion is pish.

Miller is actually better going forward than Cadden, at least he has the occasional skill to beat a man. How on earth we are playing a wide right forward who cannot get past a defender and plays 1 decent cross out of 10 is astonishing.

….and if he is offered a new deal we know that it’s jobs for the boys as there must be countless players who will be available, probably even on a lower wage, that could offer more than Cadden.

We’ve just given his brother, who pretty much looks like a left footed version of him, a three year deal so I fully expect a new deal to follow for Chris. Gray, to me, looks like he has a preference for the hardworking, industrious type of player and I think he’ll hold on to Cadden.

Would rather Rudi there or even McKirdy.

He should have been subbed off so much sooner, he wasn't at the races at all yesterday, compare the miss to the one boyle scored a few weeks ago and that just shows what we miss on the wing
