Kieron Bowie

[Bridge hibs]

Take a bowie Son, covered every blade of grass today and gave celtc no end of problems, still getting his fitness up but absolutely ran himself into the ground.

[JohnM1875]

****ing phenomenal! What a player we have on our hands when he's fully match fit.

[blackpoolhibs]

Looks the real deal,skillful, strong quick holds it up well and a goal scorer, and he's not even fit yet.:top marks

[Bridge hibs]

Oh and the power behind that shot, ****ing wow !! Kasper will be sitting at home with his hands in buckets of ice after saving that shot 🫨

[makaveli1875]

Once he went off we had no out ball and celtic started to dominate . He gave their defence hell and held the ball up really well

I actually thought Myko did well with that side of the game when he came on too. I was dreading it, but the big man won a few flick ons and used his strength well.

[A Hi-Bee]

Hibs had a few stand out performers today and when he went off I don't think anyone was not standing to give him a round of applause. He is going to be a good one for sure.

[Northernhibee]

He was much improved today.

[B.H.F.C]

He is going to be a superb player for us once he gets going.

[Real Emerald]

Thought he was immense, looks a brilliant number nine, hold up play, bullying defenders, intelligent and can score. Once he’s up to speed he’s going to be brilliant for us. 👏👏👏

[Since452]

Brilliant today. Great work rate.

[Hibees1973]

Gives us a new dimension.

The only forward player we have who occupies the opponents Central Defenders, both of Celtic's at some points today.

I read the Yam are very confident they feel they have improved since we beat them last time. We have as well, with Bowie in the side.

[kentao]

We got an absolute bargain, made CCV look Sunday league, love his 100% effort and never giving the opposition a second. Was unlucky with his powerful drive in the first half. Will be massive for us in the run in.

[jeffers]

Thought he was excellent today gave Celtic CBs a torrid time. Myko could learn a lot about using his physical attributes by watching Bowie. Understand why we subbed him but we did lose a lot upfront when we did.

Every time the ball ends up somewhere near him, he is looking to make something happen, and has the ability and brain to make it happen. And when he doesn’t have the ball, he’s like a wasp around them. And there’s more to come I believe. Defenders will have him at the top of their list of players they don’t want to play against in our league now.

Bring on Bowie v McCart. Just saying like. Could be fun for us Hibees.

[Squealing pig]

The reason we will finish 3rd hopefully

[Malthibby]

Was kicked off the park by Celtic today, from 5 minutes in when Carter-V went through him; hopefully he just went off knackered and not injured.

I forgot about that early tackle! Straight through the back of him. If that's Rocky on Idah thats a booking.

[matty_f]

Bowie was terrific, led the line superbly and put in a massive shift. He looks some player.

[DIXIHIBS]

Played very well today. Talking about him after game today and discovered he's 6ft 4. Knew he was big but not that big. Very promising player.

[PHeffernan]

If his hamstrings hold up he is going to be some player for Hibs.
Battered the Celtic centre halves about and they are pretty big laddies themselves.
Exactly the player Hibs have needed. A real physical presense to hold the ball up front.

[Nicho87]

Carter-Vickers didn’t know what hit him!!

[cubehindthegoal]

He was from the few moments we had seen of him in a Hibs top, a player. His recovery to get back fit, and his performance today, and his attitude ..

He’s going places.

And if our Scotland manager don’t recognise that he is the BEST striker Scotland has at the moment… then he needs to go and let someone better do his job. Bowie needs to be in that Scotland team NOW .. and settle into it .. and If .. say that if he played for .. ooohh I can’t say their name, but … put it this way, he’d stroll into OUR national team. Next match. First choice. So let’s see …

[cubehindthegoal]

Carter-Vickers didn’t know what hit him!!

Vickers could not cope with the challenge that Bowie presented. None of their defenders could. Tonight, celtics whole defence will be saying, please brenda, buy him so we don’t have to play against him.

That’s no exaggeration.

GGTTH 💚

[Unseen work]

His contribution can’t be undervalued today

He fought for absolutely everything, held it up, took us up the park and was a constant nuisance

The second he went off we got deeper

I can’t wait to see him starting more games, getting chances and scoring goals

Not sure Trusty and Carter Vickers will have a harder game in the SPFL

[neil7908]

I'm really really excited to see him play week in week out.

No disrespect to Boyle but I'd also love to see Bowie with a proper striker alongside him.

The guy has just come back FFS. Let's give him a few games before we start demanding a Scotland call up 😂😂😂

[PiemanP]

Played very well today. Talking about him after game today and discovered he's 6ft 4. Knew he was big but not that big. Very promising player.

His height doesn’t stand out as most of our team are massive. You can see that when the squad are linked up in front of the east at the end.

Bowie was fantastic. Centre halfs will absolutely hate playing him with his movement and physicality.

[Onion]

Just keep him fit and clear of Scotland duties. If he can start scoring goals again. :pray:, he might just push us into 3rd place.

Let's not get carried away to much! He needs to be scoring goals first

[Broxburn Greens]

He was excellent, except for smashing a ball in the warm up that smacked my 12yo daughter clean in the face (she was fine after the excellent first aiders gave her a wee check over).

To be fair he acknowledged it at the time as well, held up his hand in apology.

She's forgiven him anyway as we won :greengrin

[hibbydog]

First time I have seen him in the flesh. He was brilliant

I was worried when he went down holding his hamstring before he went off. Assume ok as we’ve not heard anything?

[expresso]

Think it was cramp…….hopefully

[JimBHibees]

Looks the real deal,skillful, strong quick holds it up well and a goal scorer, and he's not even fit yet.:top marks

Absolutely does. Be nice if refs started giving him a foul now and again

[Stevie Reid]

Yesterday was a great example of why judging a CF purely on their output of goals and assists can be foolish.

Bowie was immense, and I’ve never seen a Celtic backline more ratted than that. He played a huge part in helping every area of the team.

The goals will come too. Really excited to see what we can do when he gets a good run of starts.

[Unseen work]

Hold hold up play for our first goal was brilliant

Really strong boy

[Winston Ingram]

Absolutely love him. He’s going to be great for us

[BILLYHIBS]

Was an unknown quantity for Celtic and they could not handle him feared the worst as they started to put the boot in

First time I have seen Carter Vickers really struggle in a game

Onwards and upwards

[Jock O]

Agree completely with above, was amazed at how much ground he covered in addition to all the other attributes, at least twice he won the ball round our box. I thought he was blowing a bit after 20 minutes when Celtic had their 5 minute good spell, but he came back really strong as we picked up again.

Very exciting player. and one of the big calls that Gray got 100% right in team selection yesterday.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Noticed one of the players on Instagram (Boyle maybe?) calling him the horse. He really is as strong and powerful as a racehorse

Think I seen this, practice shooting they were all going over bar, and one hit a wee lassie on the head.
hope she’s fine.

[BILLYHIBS]

Wasn’t fit has more to come only going to get better

Two second half appearances as a sub

Myko might have had a couple ?

Think we had about 10 shots on target?

[HendoDelivered]

Once he’s fully fit and firing, we’ll have the best striker in the league on our hands, outside the OF.

[Unseen work]

Yeah he chucked Carter Vickers about in that game too and our muscled him before smashing an effort off the bar

To say you're jumping the gun with that last paragraph would be an understatement. Perfectly happy for his international debut to wait until he's banged in a few more goals for us.

[QUOTE=Broxburn Greens;7901827]He was excellent, except for smashing a ball in the warm up that smacked my 12yo daughter clean in the face

We are sorry to inform you that we are no longer considering you for our goal keeper position…

[MacGruber]

Should he start Weds? Went down with cramp and was holding hamstring after an hour - understandably. First start and massive effort then midweek game.
We have been unanimous in our view that he was mismanaged by Scotland because he started midweek after playing an hour at the weekend at a period he was being eased in on return from injury.
Massive game Weds and I'm sure it's not exactly the same circumstance - interesting to see if he starts again.
If he started a 2nd game in a week how fresh would he be for a 3rd and that being a Derby?

I would guess that Hibs will work with him, the physios, and whatever his surgeons etc have said relating to his schedule.

His interview with Hibs Observer suggests that he was delighted to start, and starting games was what they were aiming toward.

After the Scotland U21 debacle, I am sure they will be really careful.

I'd prefer he doesn't start on Wednesday. Give him 20-30m from the bench to save him for Sunday.
I watched Saints v Hearts and they looked shaky at cross balls. Bowie's physical presence in there will cause them real problems, particularly with Caddens delivery so I'd prioritise him for that one

[cubehindthegoal]

Well we will see. But I wouldn’t swap him out Hibs for any other Scotland striker. Don’t see a single one better at the moment. Sometimes we should recognise this, and not wait for eg a player to move to a “bigger” club. Things happen around him when he’s playing, because he makes them happen, his influence is both on and off the ball, and he would give more problems to international defenders than any of the current strikers Scotland have. Yes he will improve too, but it would be good to see a Scotland manager recognise a player when he’s showing it earlier when it’s obvious like this.

I'd be happy to see him wait a long time for a call-up considering the way he was handled last time he was on international duty.

[OstKurve Hibs]

Wonder what the managers thinkin for the game on Wednesday, start gayle or myko, give Bowie last 20/25 mins and start him Sunday against the tramps.

Like yourself, from what little I've seen I'm confident Bowie will end up donning the dark blue of Scotland before too long. In absolutely no hurry though - he's not even got 90 mins under his belt for Hibs and that's the least I would expect before he was called up for Scotland at ANY age group after last year's debacle.

Beating Dundee Utd is huge if we want 3rd. We can then worry about the next game.

[GRA]

Rag-dolled Carter-Vickers (no mean feat as he's a big lad) twice in two games at ER when not even fully up to speed. Imagine what he'll be like when fully fit and completing 90 minutes!

[Sioux]

Does this performance put to bed the misinformation that stats prove whether a player is good or bad? If we relied on stats for Bowie's performance, it would be something like 3 out of 10 :yawn:

Hopefully we now hear less about stats :taxi

[Donegal Hibby]

Like most I think we have a very good striker here , big and strong with a good shot . His work rate against Celtic was fantastic and gave Carl vickers a torrid time …

Really looking forward to watching him when he’s fully up to speed and think the club also done well in getting him .

[HendoDelivered]

Start Gayle Weds, bring Bowie on later on. Start Bowie vs Hearts 👍🏼

[Donegal Hibby]

Happy as I am to see him back, that still riles me. It should never have happened.

Personally I'd prefer him to be English and therefore unlikely to get international recognition. Bit selfish I guess but the Hibees come first.

Dykes and Adam’s will currently be better

[cubehindthegoal]

Dykes and Adam’s will currently be better

Wouldn’t swap either of them for Bowie, what we have in him, what he is capable of, and is doing such a short time after coming back from a long lay off, is obvious to me.

Bring on the maroon mob, can’t wait!

[The Spaceman]

What a player we have here. All the attributes to go very far in the game. He’ll batter Hearts on Sunday and his goal today will give him a real boost as well.

Yes he’s the real deal. If we can keep him fit I doubt we will be able to hold on to him in the long term but hopefully he’s here for a season or two with a shed load of cash eventually coming our way.

[Hibees1973]

If he stays fit, will be knocking on the door of the Scotland squad very soon.

A valuable asset, no doubt.

If Dennis the Menace had concentrated on his football instead of bullying Walter, he would have been Bowie! Same hair cut and same attitude. I can see him becoming a Hibs hero.

[truehibernian]

Reminded me of a Derek goal v Aberdeen years ago - he’ll score a barrow load for us 👍

[Mcbizz1998]

He’s the real deal.

[O'Rourke3]

His shooting is both accurate and struck hard. Schmeichel saved the strike Saturday but United's keeper was well beaten by a shot that wasn't too far out of saving distance.

His strike yesterday was everything I want to see from a striker. All the best strikers can finish chances emphatically, Bowie looks like he may be of that ilk. I always think it’s a bit of a tell with some strikers when they don’t seem to have the ability to finish chances emphatically.

He does what we hoped Myko would do.

[yerauldda]

He's such a presence. I actually thought he was quite poor until his goal but he causes so much uncertainty with his physicality even when he's not playing well.
His finish was excellent. He has to start Sunday.

Absolutely has to start, he will have them on their toes from first minute, and their defenders will be praying he is on the bench. He also made it clear he’s ready and wants to start games … let him loose on them ! He also makes things happen for others simply by doing what he does, there’s spins offs for other players with a player like that, like space, chances, markers being drawn away, uncertainty in their defenders making choices, having to play ball quickly.

[worcesterhibby]

It’s a few years since I’ve been this excited by a Hibs team.. the amazing thing is we’ve gone on this unbeaten run without a couple of our best players for most of it. Bowie is only just coming back, Youan has missed a lot of it, our captain has missed about half of it. Ekpiteta was looking really solid when he got injured, but Rocky has been different class filling his boots. Others have stepped up and filled the gap for every injury. I don’t think there’s a single player who hasn’t improved ( maybe Kwon). Now we can also look forward to seeing how much a fully fit Bowie can achieve plus the introduction of Manneh and next season, Jamie McGrath. Amazingly, im almost not bothered about when Youan is gonna be back fit, he’ll struggle to get in the team.

Sent from my SM-A556B using Tapatalk

That's one of the things I like about him, there's no messing about. As soon as he gets a sight of goal he hits it as hard as he can and it's usually on target, if that shot had been a foot or so either side of Schmeichel I doubt he would have saved it, and as you say his shot last night was in saving distance but hit so hard it was past the keeper before he could react properly.

He could be one of these strikers who even when he's having a quiet game will make the keeper work with anything that comes his way and it's been a while since we had a forward like that. If he keeps progressing I doubt he'll be here long, but what we got for Scott Brown could be dwarfed if we play our cards right.

[He's here!]

He's an entirely different build but his finish on Wednesday reminded me of the sort of goals Denis Law used to score. Difficult chances made to look easy and accomplished with an air of elegance.

To think some were saying we shouldn’t have signed him because he was coming back from a hamstring injury too

Good young player with loads of potential

Good signing

[JohnM1875]

Delighted that he scored today. Really really like the laddie.

Hopefully the goal settles him a bit though. You can tell he's desperate to make an impact and I think it's affecting his game.

Loved the fact everyone surrounded him after he scored. What was equally impressive was after Boyle scored you could see the players immediately go to Myko and try and pick him up after that miss (Iredale the standout)

Squad spirit must be through the roof.

[Carheenlea]

He got the ball stuck between his legs resulting in the ball shooting off away from him that many times I was wondering if he hadwas doing it deliberately!

[YETI1875]

He’s gonna be some player

Hope the goal kicks him on. Thought he was off it up until that point.

[PHeffernan]

Hope the goal kicks him on. Thought he was off it up until that point.

I thought so as well. Got himself into great positions but struggled to control the ball. Bowie is definitely a more proactive player than Myko and more of a force of nature which is great.

I am a little concerned that both our strikers Bowie and Kuharevych are a bit off it whereas Nisbet is rounding into form and scoring goals.
It looks like Hibs or Aberdeen for 3rd as a result.
Hopefully our young strikers can click soon to give us the one edge we are missing.

I woudnt swap Bowie for nisbet, he will come good, trying to hard today .

Agree

[Tambo]

A couple of bad/heavy touches when he was in a good position to attack and once where he wasn't even looking and the ball bounced off his boot after a pass to him, done well for his penalty and created good space for his chance.

From what I was told from a Northampton fan when he signed was he will give his all every game, and like some said maybe was trying to hard yesterday.

I think we've seen from his limited appearances that he looks a good player and we should see him at his best come next season.

[Halmyre Hibee]

If Nisbet is not in Millwalls plans why not bring him back to play upfront with Bowie if funds permit.

[PHeffernan]

I woudnt swap Bowie for nisbet, he will come good, trying to hard today .

Bowie has great potential and as you say was trying too hard today but Nisbet is the better and more reliable goalscorer at the moment.
Bowie is a far better disrupter which is something big teams in Scotland need to break low block teams.
It would be great to have both players. Bowie to disrupt and Nisbet to put them away.

[SickBoy32]

If Nisbet is not in Millwalls plans why not bring him back to play upfront with Bowie if funds permit.

Yep, take the Vente cash and bring Nisbet back in.

Him and Bowie up top would be excellent for this league IMO. That’d be a massive improvement on what we’ve had up front this season (#99 I mean, obviously Gayle has been a good signing!)

A couple of bad/heavy touches when he was in a good position to attack and once where he wasn't even looking and the ball bounced off his boot after a pass to him, done well for his penalty and created good space for his chance.

From what I was told from a Northampton fan when he signed was he will give his all every game, and like some said maybe was trying to hard yesterday.

I think we've seen from his limited appearances that he looks a good player and we should see him at his best come next season.

Didn’t look sharp imo thought he might have been hammered physically in the break so that he was. Quite telling Myko started in front of him and think likely will again at Rangers

[BILLYHIBS]

Cancelled bit part season for Bowie due to injury probably won’t see him at his best until next season after a decent preseason will be fitter and sharper

Would be all for bringing Nisbet back in but cannae see it

[CentreLine]

I’d be very surprised if we are not simply managing his return to match fitness. After all, it was a serious recurrence of his hamstring injury that had him out. I don’t think we will see him back to his full potential before next season. That said, he has not been shy whenever he has been on the pitch. I think he is an outstanding player and can only improve on that. Keeping him at Hibs may be our biggest problem.

[EGL2000]

Still think he's very raw and rough round the edges which was pretty evident on Saturday. That being said he has huge potential and with the right development I think will become an excellent player and probably be away for a decent fee within 2 years.

[eastmainsmsh]

Wouldn’t mind Nisbet Back Beside Bowie if we get Europe could Nizzy be tempted

[EGL2000]

Where's all this nisbet hype suddenly come from? Is he not a bit of a toys out the pram player?

Have a few Aberdeen supporting pals and up until recently they had been slaughtering him all season. His recent up turn in form wouldn't make me want him back personally. Think we could do better looking elsewhere.

We don't have a line on many international class strikers as good as Nisbet. It's easy to say look elsewhere when you don't have to name names. If it takes a bit of work to keep him on form then so what? Management isn't easy.

A lot of folk scoffed at the idea of bringing back Simon Murray. Likely said look elsewhere there too. 2nd top scorer in the division at a worse team.

Perhaps we need to stop looking away from quality players!

[Hibernian Verse]

Nisbet will sign for whoever gets third as long as Celtic win the cup.

Agree with that he certainly puts himself about on the pitch. Maybe one of these guys you need to persevere with him by starting but agree Hibs will be managing him to hopefully mitigate against any injury recurrence

He has been a key player for them in last few weeks and think thsts seven goals in 9 games he has scored
So thsts why Let’s see if he can maintain that form between now and end of the season
But last time we played them he was very poor

Id personally rather Simon Murray would probably be half the wage and works his arse off unlike Nisbet.

[Tyler Durden]

It's only "telling" that Gray is using the squad well IMO.

Don't think there is any chance that Myko starts at the weekend. Either Bowie or Campbell will take his place.

[Thatdayinmay16]

I'd personally not welcome either back at ER and venture down a different path.

[CentreForward]

Not sure what we’re really expecting from Bowie and Myko. Think it’s 34 goals between them in around 200 club games so neither of them have prolific scoring records. Do think that Bowie is the better of the two and think he will come good.

[Since452]

Nisbet is flying just now. We've already signed Aberdeens best player so taking their best striker too would would be quite funny. Sure Millwall wouldn't make it difficult.

[raeburnhibs]

If Nisbet is not in Millwalls plans why not bring him back to play upfront with Bowie if funds permit.

cause some have said that Nisbet isn't the greatest character to have around in a squad where the coaches clearly emphasise team spirit and one for all and all that....

To be fair we signed Bowie as a 21 year old. Was signed for now but also because of his potential I’d guess. He’d spent a fair bit of time playing wider at Northampton as well but stepped up from League Two to League One and scored more goals. If he’d been fit this season, I think he’d have a good number of goals. He’s only actually played 537 minutes for us so chipping in with 3 goals and an assist in that limited time when he’s hardly been fit isn’t actually too bad.

Am certainly not disagreeing with you on that and I am certainly excited by the potential that Bowie has. Really looking forward to seeing what he can do. Not so sure about Myko, and guessing he will go back to Swansea in the summer. Am certainly hoping that we bring in an established goal scorer then.

He's a proven goalscorer at this level which is reason enough for me. So is Murray; would be happy with either over an unknown quantity.

[cubehindthegoal]

Let's not get carried away to much! He needs to be scoring goals first

Wilson was capped. Says it all. I’d rather have the player Bowie is and will be. The way Bowie showed how he can treat the Celtic centre halves, will not have gone unnoticed by Brenda .. but Clarke didn’t notice it. But, he capped Wilson .. lol

Bowie and Wilson are the future for Scotland. Not really fussed if Wilson got capped when we were pumped or not. Was so he can’t get capped off another country too.

So why not cap Bowie then? Anyway. I haven't seen much in Wilson’s play to get excited about. Bowie is showing great signs of ability against “better” teams and players. That’s what Scotland needs.

If Bowie doesn’t qualify for any other country then there’s your answer.

[cubehindthegoal]

I get that, but don’t actually know if that’s the case. Anyway, the players who played were shown how to do it by Greece. Don’t think Bowie could’ve done worse than the strikers who played. I’d rather have seen him play than those that did. Would’ve got stuck in at least. But it’s all by and by .. we shall see in the future too. Hey, I might be wrong about Bowie !

[ancient hibee]

Although Wilson is nowhere near International level neither is Bowie to be fair. I also noticed when watching Saturday’s highlights that he was absolutely gasping for air after a run. Suspect we won’t see him with good fitness until next season.

Maybe. Perhaps I’m seeing what is an obvious end result, to me, a bit early doors. I haven’t saw the same in Wilson so far though. We will see.

Probably the reason why Bowie is not starting SDG sees him every day expecting big things in the new season with a preseason under his belt

Wilson at the Jambo’s has scored 6 first team goals this season no bad for a pupil still at Currie High School a prospect but not ready for international football

Kevin Nisbet must have been ragin no getting on when we needed a goal ?

I think as others have said he's eligible for Northern Ireland and has even played for them at youth level. Jambo or not I think he's been quite impressive for his age and size, although a lot of developing is still required for him to take full advantage of his skill going forward.

Bowie has been decent for us and the best is yet to come imo, but I'm not sure hand on heart that if you were going off just this season you'd pick Bowie over him especially knowing his fitness levels aren't perhaps quite there yet. In fact if Wilson wasn't eligible for Northern Ireland I'd doubt we'd have seen him this earlier too.

Offer them Youan

[Jones28]

He's exceeded my expectations already given how long he was out for. Thought he looked rusty when he came on on Saturday but he was busy enough and bagged himself a goal.

If he can do that 4 or 5 times more this season he will be making a solid contribution and with a good pre-season he will be a starting player next season.

[Brummie_Hibs]

Bowie will be picked for Lichtenstein/Iceland double header squad at the end of the season.

Scotland need a replacement for Dykes - Bowie can be that guy. Im sure Clark has been at the Games V Celtic when Bowie had Carter Vickers on toast

He’s also eligible for England so a sensible decision by Clark to get the matter resolved in Scotland’s favour.

Id be astonished if Bowie is in any Scotland squads before the October games.
