We need a proven goalscorer in January or we’re down

Don’t even look like scoring or creating a chance

St Johnston and Ross County are probably our competition for the drop and both have better strikers than us

I have a modicum of sympathy for the club a bit in that Bowie was the man we banked on scoring or setting up goals and being a general threat. We have Elie, Boyle, Mykola, Gayle all that you would think should step up to be a goal threat in his absence and instead we've had better luck out of Nicky ****ing Cadden.

Well it was Monty thst wanted the guy that scored freely when Brought in last January so unless the new guy from Bourmouth can work miracles we are going to struggle

A central midfielder who actually wants to get on the ball would be nice too

Add a goalkeeper, a RB, 2 centre half’s, a LB, 4 midfielders and you’re close.

[truehibernian]

I’m old school, we have two lads in the 18’s banging them in. We are intent on loaning for seasons and developing players - I look at Kenny Miller and Derek who were banging in goals at youth level and albeit they had very short loans, they both proved they were at this level so throw Landers and Cleland in 👍 we are not using the academy the way it should be. Give them a bloody chance.

[Northernhibee]

Couldn’t help think of Alan Partridge when I read the title.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Think it's time we brought Nisbet back. Don't we have a buy back clause in his deal?

[cubehindthegoal]

I think the right manager could shape a team out of what we have, goalkeeper aside (which is a worry), and lift us out of relegation, which is perhaps best we can hope for in the coming months. If they prove able, then hopefully they bring in one or two to improve it a little more in January.

Who that manager is … I have no idea. But no expert at our club seems to either. I so want SDG to turn it round, buts it’s just not happening, and that is hard to watch. But why can’t we, with our resources, find someone who can do better than other clubs with less, season after season. The ultimate owner needs to reflect and admit their failings, and maybe now listen to our minor investor who have had much more impressive sporting success. They can’t do any worse.

[Northernhibee]

You could genuinely make a case for us needing 14-15 players and it wouldn’t be a ****ing mental suggestion.

A good manager or head coach, whatever we're calling it, keeps this team up. That has to be the target now.

It’s not the target that’s the problem, it’s those selecting the target at the moment. It’s not beyond doing, with our resources. We need someone to not appoint a Butcher next.

[Musselbound]

You probably could but doesn't seem to be the answer when we are already virtually bringing in a new ream of players every window. I'd say we need to pinpoint two or three players that can make a real difference. Such as Maolida last season.

[B.H.F.C]

We could also ditch playing one up front and try to give them a bit of help. In all my time watching Hibs we’ve always been better playing 2 up top.

[TrinityHFC]

We paid a lot of money for a striker who is unfortunately injured.

Just need to look at our city neighbours to see how much the same players can move between success and regression within a season or two .. it’s not easy to solve though.

I'm sure we have a buyback clause with Nisbet. It's maybe time we brought him back.

Our issues highlighted in the stats…

[Since90+2]

Proven goalscorers aren't easy to come by, let alone in the January window.

I actually think that part of team if the least if our problems though. Keeper, midfield and defence are all more pressing areas IMO.

It sounds mental with how little they’re contributing but I reckon with a better setup and a plan to get the ball to them, we have more goals in us. I think the collection of attacking players are under performing rather than just being pish.

Just keeping doing the same thing, system and set up wise, whilst shuffling different players around is crazy.

[Donegal Hibby]

Hertz , Killie not in the mix too at this stage?

[kentao]

Would it be a daft suggestion to poach Kimpioka from St Johnstone and Hale from Ross County in January?

Both have scored 5 goals each in the league and are valued at less than 300k each on transfer market. Doing so would weaken our rivals and hopefully bolster our attacking options.

Maybe you've just described Hibs problem. We tend to go for the Yuoan Gayle Mykola players who are deemed Hibs level when realistically we should be going for the Nicky ****ING Caddens of the world. Experienced sensible signings.

At this stage yes but personally think they’ll do enough over the course of a season to be nowhere near it

I'm sure we have a buyback clause with Nisbet. It's maybe time we brought him back.

I thought you were joking the first time you mentioned that on this thread. What makes you think Kevin Nisbet would have agreed to such a clause when he was so keen to get out of here? I don’t think I’ve seen this buy-back clause mentioned anywhere until you did further up the thread. Seems like fantasy to me.

Try looking at the stats .Failure to score goals is at the root of our problems.

Sorry AH, can't agree totally with you, we do score but then proceed to throw the leads away by individual & collective errors. If it's not the entire team bottling it by retreating into our defensive third ( Dundee Unt game), it's our players, (for want of a better description), scoring own goals or that abomination that thinks he is a goalkeeper doing things a primary schoolboy wouldn't do. Playing one up front doesn't work, there is a lot more wrong than just not scoring goals. We shouldn't have to score 3 or 4 goals to win games (not that I am saying we can score 3 or 4 in one game ) .

We had a buy back clause in the Boyle deal. I can't find any details on it either.

What you say about errors is true but the facts are that only the top five teams have lost less goals than us and nobody has scored less.

[Donegal Hibby]

I’d probably say Killie are the more likely though they seem to struggle against St Johnstone and I noticed for a long time they didn’t have a shot on target, think they ended up with one …

hertz have Gordon who probably can save them a few points though speaking to a Jambo here . It was their opinion that Shankland is like a player that’s not interested and has been really poor compared to last year which must be a major concern as that’s where the majority of their goals came from .

He’s said he’s leaving apparently while it’s been said Critchley has made signing a striker a priority in January..

I might be wrong though I don’t see any big differences between us and the rest in fairness.

[Spike Mandela]

We paid a lot of money for a striker we knew was already injured. More flawed thinking from this recruitment team.

[Is It On....]

A quality striker and a quality keeper are essentials.

Goalkeeper and a "Rob Jones" type centre half are critical as we need to stop conceding soft goals to stay up.

[Smartie]

I reckon a goalkeeper, left-sided Centre half and attacking midfielder turn this rabble into a team who could / should stay up.

If you’re then talking about getting us to mid table you need a decent striker and attacking wide players to drastically improve our scoring threat. After that you deal with the full backs who cannot defend and the deeper midfielders.

In all honesty, the crap deeper midfielders should be at the top of the list as they’re pish and nowhere near the quality required for a team to challenge for 3rd /4th. It’s criminal that they’re so far down the list.

For the avoidance of doubt, I think Ekpiteta is decent enough. O’Hora or Rocky are probably acceptable back ups for RCB. I don’t think any other player we have is good enough to play for Hibs. Molotnikov probably gets a pass for being young and may improve with the right players around him.

To be remotely confident of avoiding relegation I think we need at least 5/6 players, good ones who can hit the ground running.

No new manager gets a tune out of the utter pish we have.

Would add a reliable consistent striker who can stick the ball in the net to your first paragraph hopefully to be reinforced by Bowie in the New Year

It amazes me that all of our rivals keep unearthing nuggets from the lower leagues and we end up with expensive dross

Buy black clauses only entitle the club to have a bid accepted from Millwall, Kevin Nisbet still has to want to come back which at this point I very much doubt he would.

Think thats unfair. Bowie was looking good. Getting more minutes and the injury being managed. As has been mentioned a few times it was the mismanagement of that injury on Scotland duty that screwed us.

I don't know if there was one or not either. But more that Kevin Nibset doesn't need to agree to one at all as it's between the two clubs. If he doesn't want to be here then he just doesn't accept our offer to come back.

[green day]

Correct.

He looked excellent against Celtic, for example, while Hibs were correctly managing his minutes and feeding him in.

I am convinced we wouldnt be in as bad a position had we used him as a sub in a lot of the subsequent games.

Don't see why he wouldn't come back he has ended up at Aberdeen on loan things haven't worked out for him since he left.

[Smartie]

Don't see why he wouldn't come back he has ended up at Aberdeen on loan things haven't worked out for him since he left.

2 reasons he wouldn’t come back - one, he’s a fanny with a massively inflated sense of his own worth who couldn’t wait to get away in the first place, and two, we are actually a total shambles that any player with any sort of self respect would do well to avoid having to join.

[Centre Hawf]

If I was Nisbet I would be staying at Aberdeen in the hope of either staying there or securing another move to half decent paying League 1 team than coming anywhere near us midway into a relegation scrap.

For what it's worth as another poster said he has a massive ego and would likely not touch us just purely on our current situation alone.

While I agree with both the reasons you state Kebin Nisbet hasnt exactly set the world on fire since he left Hibernian. He needs as as much as we need him and playing for a club closer to home might be appealing depending on salary. My concern though is perhaps the Nisbet we had was the best version of him but who knows.

It was never going to work out. He only puts in a shift when he's looking to move and a payrise. The jury's very much out with him for a lot of the Aberdeen fans.

[theonlywayisup]

My number one priority would be a decent, solid goalkeeper, along with reliable full-backs.

After that it is bring some energy & quality into midfield so we don't have to play Newell, Campbell and Triantis.

I understand why the OP says bring in a striker, but I feel our problems lie further behind the forward positions. We brought in Kuharevich to replace a non-scoring Vente and now Kuharevich isn't scoring.

[Chorley Hibee]

We're caught in a chicken and egg situation regards strikers.

For me, I still think there's enough goals in what we have, the problem lies elsewhere and particularly in the lackadaisical pace we play each game, and the utter lack of creativity throughout the centre of the park.

Whilst we continue playing the game in the manner we do, and in a such a one dimensional fashion, then it really doesn't matter who is playing up front.

[Stokesy's on fire]

He hasn't. But that doesn't mean he needs us. There are a host of other clubs out there that could be the remaking of him that aren't in the mess we're in. In fact I'd argue right now Aberdeen is the perfect place for him. He's been part of 6 goals in 9 games since coming up the road. If he can keep that up then I'm sure him, Aberdeen, and Millwall will be delighted.

I see no reason why any of those three parties would rip up whats working so he can play for us in January unless we gave them a hefty transfer fee and him a five year contract he can't get anywhere else.

I sort of agree.

There’s no way imo that Youan, Boyle, Hoilett, Myko and Gayle can be considered to be poor players. They all have their faults but they all have their uses. Whilst they might not be “challenging for 3rd” material, neither are they relegation or lower league standard.

They’re just missing that special something to get the best out of them and that must be a change in the middle of the park.

I don’t think we have that with our current personnel although I’d be trying Levitt and a change in formation for now to see if we can get more than we’ve been getting lately.

Totally agree, as you say the whole game plan needs changing with a dynamic midfield and hopefully Bowie will come back strong. It’s not just an ineffective style, it’s also terrible to watch.

That’s the risk of buying a player who needs an injury managed. Convenient to blame Scotland but for me it was an unecessary risk.

If you are going to spend a lot of money on players and have a list of targets then for my money it’s sensible to sign one who isn’t recovering from injury. We took the risk and it came back to bite us on the ass.

I wouldn’t say it was much of a risk, he was recovering from a hamstring injury, not a huge injury like a knee injury etc

Scotland not managing it has had a big impact on our season

We’d miss out on a huge amount of players if we wanting them all fully fit and ready to go.

Hoilett is another who joined after recovering from an injury but has looked really good

It clearly was a risk to spend a large sum of cash on an injured player who will be out for most of the season.

A large chunk of our attacking potential amounting to nothing. Hence we are bottom of the league and hardly look like scoring.

This wasn't bad luck it was, yet again, badly plannedl recruitment.

What is clear as day is we 100% need a striker in January. Myko is honking and Gayle doesn’t look great either.

Olusanya at St Mirren appears to have turned down a contract extension there and is out of contract in the summer. Might be worth a try if we are looking for a striker in January with experience in the league.

Thought Myk was poor tonight.

Think there was 2 headers he should have scored with but got nothing on. Dont know if he was put off my Mitov coming and flapping or what

In his first spell he seemed to really bully defenders and knock them about. Not seeing that from him whatsoever this time

1 shot on target in nearly 5.5 hours since his goal against Hearts, I’d definitely be starting Gayle ahead of him.

[Broxburn Greens]

We scored 3 goals last night? Hit the woodwork and narrowly missed with a couple of other chances. There was also a couple of last ditch clearances in there from the Aberdeen defence.

We have an expensive striker who as our luck currently goes picked up a bad injury early in the season, we have tried to plug that gap with Gayle (who admittedly looks a wee bit past it) but there's hope with Bowie now apparently back in light training that by the turn of the year he may be back, not sure if and when we could recall Vente if required.

We need a midfielder who can pick a pass and split a defence when we have our strikers back.

Most of all, we need a solid, stable goalkeeper who can inspire confidence from his defenders in front of him, we also need to sign a rock solid CH and probably look at more defence minded L&R backs as currently those holding those berths might flatter a wee bit going forward but both Obita & Miller are utter bomb scares when defending and make at time calamitous mistakes, including getting themselves sent off.

Ekpiteta picking up an injury hasn't helped either.

[Paulie Walnuts]

A striker playing up top on his own has to make some chances for himself but Myko makes none. Either try him with Gayle beside him or don't play him as he is as good as a man short playing up front on his own.

Yes.

Sorry SDG but surely you’ve seen this pattern before ?

WGS reflected (I paraphrase) on his time as manager and admitted he got it wrong trying to make players fit a system, better to find a system to get the best out of the players.

[CapitalGreen]

Just watched the highlights from last night. I’d be starting Rocky up front - that touch, turn and lay off before scoring was better than anything Myko has shown in recent weeks.

[erin go bragh]

He’s absolutely crap. Can’t believe people were so desperate to have him back in the summer.

He wasn't crap on his last loan with us but couldn't stay fit. Cardiff payed 2m for him.
So fluck knows what has happened to him as his first touch is a tackle and he doesn't even look like scoring. Maybe try him in goals 😁

None of the three scored by a striker and I'm not suggesting the sheep marked anyone out of the game. For the 3rd, Rocky did all the things I'd want a striker to be doing though - if McKirdy isn't the answer, maybe put Rocky as #10 for the next one. :wink:

We also paid a lot of money for a striker who is currently on loan in the Dutch Second Division.

He’s in the Eredivise. I think we will recoup our money on him. Doesn’t help us short term but hopefully Bowie isn’t too far away and if his early performances are anything to go by he’s gonna be a big boost when he returns.

It's probably unlikely to happen now but I would quite like to see a partnership of Vente and Bowie in a 3-5-2. But if someone wants to give us our money back on Vente we should probably just accept it.

We paid a lot of money for a striker we knew was already injured. More flawed thinking from this recruitment team.
He wasn’t injured. He had been injured. There’s a difference.

Don’t think we will be seeing Bowie until about February.

Pretty sure he was injured when we signed him.
