Jack Iredale

[1875M]

Most underrated player we’ve had in a long time. Came into the back 3 when we changed shape and had been immense since. Deserves a lot more recognition.

Underrated by who?

Everyone loves him, he’s brilliant.

[Dibben]

If meaning underrated when he signed… yes, he’s right up there!

Definitely not underrated now!

Fully agree.

[Alan62]

Great player. Goes about his business perfectly. Strong, no nonsense. One of our best players this season.

Think you meant to say best player we’ve had in a long time!

[Up-the-slope]

who ever was responsible for his identification and negotiating his recruitment.... and the extension :clapper:

[Davy Mac]

MOTM today in my opinion, solid as fxxx!

[lyonhibs]

Incredible to think he wasn't a nailed on starter from the word go

[Hibees1973]

It was indeed.

Most of the criticism aimed at Gray during our poor start was not to change the goalkeeper and not give the likes of Iredale or N Cadden starts.

He changed formation brought these guys in and well, the rest is history.

[Silky]

Absolutely. A cracking find and just gets better. It's funny, though, because I'm sure when we signed him there was a thread pretty much berating whoever identified him and writing him off due to poor comments on a Bolton fans site! Just shows that sometimes, recruitment staff so know what they're doing!

[Allant1981]

Player of the season for me, the guy just gets better and better each week

[Waxy]

What a goal in the derby too.
Pick that out.

[Onion]

Great player :thumbsup:

[supermcginn]

Best left footed central defender since Rob Jones, excellent player.

[bingo70]

Best left footed central defender since Rob Jones, excellent player.

Paul Hanlon deserves to be in this debate too, he was easily as good as Rob Jones but did it for a much longer period than Iredale has.

The three of them were/are excellent though.

[Unseen work]

He’s been brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

I love everything about him, seems to have everything you want in a left sided centre half

[Daydreamer]

Jack was the missing piece in the jigsaw that we needed to play 3 at the back letting Rocky play in his favoured position in the middle of the defence. I know O'Hora has been pretty sound the last couple of games but I prefer the drive of Miller to complete the back 3.

[JimBHibees]

Think he got a niggly injury not long after he joined

[Onion]

One of my favourite players at the moment. Under-stated, never tries to be flash, great attitude, must be annoying to play against. What a great find by Hibs.

One thing that’s struck me recently is how much of the spirit SDG brought to the shirt has become evident in this crop of players.

Confident without being flash or playing for their own ego, dogged, determined, hard working, professional, consistent.

[EGL2000]

Makes everything look so easy and hardly ever puts of foot wrong, some player! Crazy to think he wasn't getting a regular game at a mid table league 1 side.

I thought Ohora was pretty exposed yesterday when Middleton came on. He couldn't handle his pace at all.

O'Hora did struggle during that period of United dominance at the start of the second half. He's generally fine but like others I prefer Miller alongside Rocky and Jack. It's great though that we now have a decent pool of defenders.

Will be interesting to see who plays at Parkhead Miller has tended to do well v Celtic and with players like Maeda about we will need pace at the back.

I thought it was crazy Godwin opted to start a striker who hasn't scored all season over Middleton he always causes us problems when we play them. Once he came on they were all over us for that 20 minute period. Thankfully came to nothing!

Has to be inline for an Ozzy call up surely

The world cup might play into our hands with Triantis too

He was my man of the match and without a doubt, my player of the year. He’s solid at the back, has a great range of passing, plays with real passion, and just completely gets what the club is about.

No mention of him being in Popovich’s plans surfaced down here yet.

I thought OHora was good second half. Made 2 crucial blocks at crucial times.

Steve Clarke should be on the phone to him every day.

I think there was more to it than that. Levitt and Triantis looked really slow at that point, and Hoilett wasn’t providing an outball, which allowed United to play right on top of us.

Campbell and Bowie then offered a physical outball, as well as an extra mobility to squeeze United in possession between their own and the middle third. They could still try getting the ball out wide, but couldn’t throw bodies forward to support in the same way. By the time Milller came on, it was for Cadden, and O’Hora was comfortable again, because he could deal with the attacker without worrying about Midfielders running into the space.

I would start Miller against Celtic because of their exceptional pace, but I don’t think O’Hora was a root cause of our discomfort for that 20 minutes yesterday.

[Mcbizz1998]

He’s class. Lots of candidates for POTY but Jack takes it for me because of THAT goal.

[Paul1642]

When is our POTY event?

[Allant1981]

When is our POTY event?

Next weekend I think

This. Anything else is a dereliction of duty.

[SteveHFC]

He’s won goal of the season for the league.

[EdinMike]

The amount of Celtic fans in a huff that Iredale won is unreal 😅

[JohnM1875]

****ing YAAASSSSSSS!!!! Fully deserved. Fully.

[I'm_cabbaged]

With us or the league?

Quite a few Aberdeen fans in a huff too.

League. Should have put that in :greengrin

[JohnM1875]

Oh it’ll absolutely be both. Should win English Premiership goal of the season, Serie A etc etc goal of the season as well.

Why do they need everything so badly? Absolute weirdos. The folk with the least to complain about in world football, yet complain the most.

[Carheenlea]

Excellent and thoroughly well deserved.

I voted without viewing any of the other candidates. None were going to be better.

I hope Gayle gets our own Goal of the Season award now, as that will really have blood vessels bursting amongst our rivals as the rage goes off the scale.

How enjoyable would that be if Iredale scored the the national goal of the season, but it wasn’t actually considered our own best goal of season.

I’m confused. Has he ever stuck it past Smith?

I love this beautiful, mulleted, Aussie man. What a bloody signing. Can’t believe we managed to replace the Paul Hanlon shaped hole so quickly and excellently.

Fantastic strike by Iredale that deserved the award.

The Celtc support will be upset because it was a chance to actually win something in a proper competition as opposed to simply buying a trophy by outspending the opposition whilst still having enough cash in reserve for an emergency purchase if anyone has the temerity to get close to "their" trophies.

Very pleased on his PFA goal of the season - I do think that because sky were covering and had camera behind the goal the view of it was better than might have been the case otherwise and makes it look all the better than were it only a 2 camera game

[worcesterhibby]

Brilliant stuff. There was a post on here saying “I’ve voted, but a Celtic goal will win”. We keep surprising people, we keep beating records, we have on hell of a team. :agree:

I thought there were better strikes, but given the significance of his one thoroughly deserving of goal of the season.

[Hibee_Craig7062]

Scotland have friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein next month, Iredale should be named in the squad and hopefully play some minutes if selected.

probably one of my favourite players in the team. Thought he was a stand out on Saturday and deserved MOTM. Its his consistency that impresses me, always on it!

[Wilson]

I don't get it. I think that because it's our own goal, and we've seen it plenty, it loses it's lustre. Kind of like familiarity breeds contempt. But clear your mind and watch it again. What a f*****g hit.

It got the nod for a reason.

Again it’s for him to decide, if he sees himself as OZ he should be allowed to break into their team.

There were def better goals IMO, but it was a fans online vote and given Hibs are so massive our fans clearly swayed the vote.:greengrin
