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:
