Half time: Hearts 18s 0, Hibs 18s 0. Not a great deal to report from the first 45 with both teams more or less cancelling each other out

Reuben involved in the second and I think he has been playing well recently getting alot of mentions in match reports.
Hastie missing too.Quote:

Great talent this year, in our current under 18s, and many are eligible to play next season, so it’s looking good at HTC.👍🏻
I doubt Laidlaw will sign a new contract. I think he's away to a London club.Quote:

Where i think he'll disappear into obscurity. I think he'd do a lot better signing the deal he's been offered and playing his way into contention at Hibs.Quote:

Who knows 👍🏻
1-0 Celtic. Very soft pen. They are giving us the runaround
2-0 Celtic. Good shot from outside the box. Poor defending this time. Celtic still bossing it but we have had a bit more of the ball. They look a bit older to me so perhaps some of our regulars are missing
3-0
Very young hibs team, but celtic are much better, Laidlaw isolated upfront.Quote:

No complaints, very young Hibs side tonight.
You always learn something playing against better players so not a wasted night. I was speaking to one of the dad's I know and remarking on how many local lads there were. Half of those on the pitch or bench were from Midlothian or East Lothian. Not too surprising in some ways but at that age group I would expect players from a wider range of areas. Not sure it is an issue but it would be interesting to see if that is the case across the league.Quote:

No 5 had a very good game. Our right back was given the runaround early on but stuck to the task and eventually got the better of his man. We looked the fitter side come the end of teh game and seemed to press more in the last 10 minutes than at any time. Gave them far too much respect and never really set up to attack them until late on when we got some more bodies forward. As you say we fought till the end and there were a good few positives. I think I spotted the new DOF too and Steve Kean was really nice walking down the side line before the game saying hello to everyone. I'll definitely try to get some more games as enjoyed another Hibs fixQuote:

They may all end up being dumped but too early to know and no way of judging on a single gameQuote:

“The Conference League is all about developing Scottish players”
We often hear this argument from fans and representatives of Scotland’s biggest two clubs, but how seriously do these clubs take their role of developing Scottish players?

Hastie must have been 5. Khan did well in parts but was at fault for the first two goals albeit pen was very softQuote:

Anyone going down to Newcastle to cheer on the development team tomorrow?
Johnson
Miller
Devlin (capt)
Rocky
Cabraja
McAllister
J MacIntyre
Henderson
Jair
Hoppe
Molotnikov
Strong dev team vs Newcastle today.
7/9 of the subs on Saturday start No Mckirdy involved which isn’t surprising after his weekend commentsQuote:

Guys like Jair, Miller etc have played nowhere near enough minutes to develop and improve as players.
Then it’s good to see to the injured guys coming back.
Mcallister seems to be doing well too given his age
I think McKirdy will be out the door, surely he would play in this if other first team players are in.
Maybe fell off his bench and injured himself :greengrinQuote:

3-1 to Newcastle at the moment. The Development Team's first defeat in ages.....bring the young guys back in!!Quote:

Absolutely crazy, hibs play a mainly experienced team instead of usual youngsters and they get beat by a under 23 team. 😳Quote:

Positive is that recently "out injured" players are coming back and getting some competitive football.
Yeh id be interested to see the level of the Newcastle squad.Quote:

United's U21 side were victorious at Little Benton on Wednesday afternoon, defeating their Hibs counterparts in a kickabout.
The black and whites grabbed an early lead when Michael Ndiweni capitalised on a defensive error and walked the ball round Murray Johnson and into the net with just four minutes on the clock.
The visitors levelled on 27 minutes, when Ewan Henderson saw his shot from the edge of the box rattle the crossbar and fall into the path of Matthew Hoppe, who side-footed home.
Hibs threatened a second goal in the closing moments of the first half with a couple of long-distance efforts that were narrowly off target.
With the rain beginning to fall, trialist Emmanuel Owusu (see below) then tried his luck from fully 30 yards out, Johnson tipping over his effort.
Into the second half and the hosts regained the lead on 64 minutes when Amadou Diallo netted his fourth goal in as many games, cutting in from the left, beating two men and curling a right footer into the far corner.
The Magpies then opened up a 3-1 advantage nine minutes later when recently-arrived substitute Isaac Westendorf took James Huntley's pass and fired in.
This was the second meeting of the two sides in as many months, Hibs running out 3-1 winners on their own training ground at Ormston last time.
Team: M.Thompson, Wiggett, Bondswell, A.Murphy, Savage, Carlyon, Owusu (Hackett 73), J.Miley (Vilca 69), M.Ndiweni (Westendorf 69), Huntley, Diallo.
Subs n/u: Brown, Donaldson, Mavididi, C.Thompson.
HFC: Johnson, Miller, Cabraja, Devlin, Rocky, McAllister, Henderson, J.MacIntyre, Hoppe, Molotnikov, Jair.
Subs (usage tbc): O'Connor, Owens, Delferriere, McClelland, Aiken, Megwa.
Referee: Adam Herzceg
Crowd: around 30 including former mackem boss Lee Johnson, now first Hibs first team manager.
Just spoke to someone who was at the match, good runout for a number of players who haven't played much recently. He also said Devlin looked miles off it.
Looks like we were holding our own well into 2nd half. Most of that outfield team have played a handful of mins each recently, maybe explains the conceding of goal’s second half. We really don’t have much strength in depth past the first XI and a couple of subs.
Made captain. I wonder if that was a sign that he’ll be staying at the club?Quote:

He confirmed on the podcast with Grado he was brought in for 6 months with a view to get fit and earn another deal rather than play a lot of games.Quote:

The Newcastle team were much the same side that had played at HTC, (only three changes). MacA and David were in charge for yesterday's match with Steve Kean not involved with the actual match, LJ and Brian McDermott were also there watching on. As was Jack Ross (now with Toon Acedamy).
Think it was more just to get an experienced body on the bench. As good as Blaney etc are, i don't think any are ready to step in at CB yet, so a half fit Devlin on the bench as a stop gap was probably the plan, with a view to maybe giving him last 5/10 if we can go a few goals up.Quote:

18’s match away to Hearts off tonight.
Moved to Tuesday 16th .
Did they not play each other last Friday night or OriamQuote:

Fantastic that hibs have a club lined up already for these 2.
It’s what both players need, first team football, in a pro league.
Much better than the odd few minutes in our first team.👍🏻
Depending on results, Airdrie could be in the championship next seasonQuote:
