I could never understand why he didnt get more starts. Is it as simple as he's just not impressive in training?Quote:

Would still be a good squad player for Hibs but wasn't good enough to be first choice. Don't think anyone is really claiming otherwise since he's gone.
He's a really accomplished finisher who scored some great goals for us.Quote:

I agree, hope he's not another we let go.Quote:

OK no problem, we all have our opinions. I'm not saying Shaw is better than Doidge but Doidge can't possibly be called an accomplished finisher. I point you to his many skelfs, air shots, mis jumps to put headers well wide or over the bar. Again not saying Doidge is a bad player but all I'm saying is Shaw could still be doing a job at HibsQuote:

I probably agree and I don't think that's what we're arguing for. Just think he could have done a job for us and was released too soon.Quote:

It’s not really important though
For this level he really is.Quote:

It's the rest of his game that lets him down imo.
Agreed! If we had a combo of Doidge's work rate, strength & hold up ability combined with Oli's finishing then that would be a top player.Quote:

Good luck Jamie
He wasnt released, we got offered a fee for him and he wanted to go rather than being 4th choice striker with us.Quote:

Sorry if that’s been posted already but I wonder if we’ll see any of the Brighton players released coming in.
Not being good enough for the Premiership isn’t the same as not being good enough for us, they’ll know all about those you g players and wouldn’t surprise me if they’re recommended to us, even if it’s just to get them in to train.
The players who have been released now have no connection to Brighton so there's no reason we would have any inside advantage in signing them. If we get anyone from Brighton, and I'm sceptical, much more likely IMO to be younger players who Brighton want to send on a development assignment.Quote:

Maybe not relevant to this group of youngsters but I think Brighton attracting young players by saying if you don’t cut it at Brighton we could get your foot in the door at another club at not as high a level would be appealing to a youngster. Means they’ve effectively got the chance to make it at 2 clubs.
That was my understanding of one of the points of this link up.
Yep he wasn’t good enough for us when he left and probably still isn’t. If we were to sign him now people would be underwhelmed.Quote:
