This suggests to me that our teams are becoming predictable in the way we are playing and easy to beat.
Worrying!
It finished 2 nil to Dunfermline, much better 2nd half performance but still no end product.
Any idea why Dunfermline are having a points deduction. Report in the courier, but I’m not a memberQuote:

U18’s cup
Rangers v Hibs
No socials from Hibs on this game??
1-0 to Rangers at HT
You’d be shocked to hear it was a penalty.Quote:

U18s away to celtic tomorrow 7pm.
IF ever there was a time to blood some young players, it was that pointless mid season friendly on saturday.Quote:

Tom Carter was also listed as on the bench but didn't see him among the subs - was definitely on the pitch doing warm-up though. Would imagine Schofield back to Huddersfield in January and Johnson as third choice - clubs don't tend to go with just two goalies these days, unless you've heard something :wink:Quote:

Report on the game last night.
Laidlaw with a goal and assist with Rudi getting a assit also and was at the heart of most of the action according to the report.
No mention of Reuben.
The wee Derby tomorrow at 7pm.
Many going?
From what I’ve heard and clips I’ve saw this season Rudi seems like a top player.Quote:

Opposite end so couldn’t see the scorer’s.
Strong first thirty for Hibs, even last fifteen.
The guys filming couldn’t even tell me the scorers🙁.
Hibs 3, Hearts 0. McGarva’s brace and one from Jacob MacIntyre have Hibs comfortably ahead at the break
Penalty Ethan laidlaw 4-0
Another good game from the sounds of it, another assit and was his header that come off the bar for one of the goals.Quote:

Can’t do any worse than Henderson or Tavares, surely?
Get the impression LJ not interested in our development talent & would rather persevere with those brought in from elsewhere.Quote:

Good to hear. How was Reuben?Quote:

Cracking result, however im reliably informed (Grandson,in photo above) that Hearts had a fair few younger players tonight.
Haha that's the standard reply when an under age team lose heavily. Hibs had younger players too.Quote:

Yes and consistently all seasonQuote:

The youth team lost to Dunfermline the other day and were held up as everything that's wrong with the club or taking us everything we need to know etc.Quote:

They might not be ready but that doesn’t stop us persisting with players who aren’t ready like Melkerson, Bojang, Henderson, Tavares, McGregor etc. I still think Hibs are guilty of favouring players signed over our youngsters and still struggle to see a pathway for our U19s given the size of the squad and the number of signings still required.Quote:
Originally Posted by matty_f

Agree there will be s huge gap between playing against kids and first team players however I would like to see some getting a chance.Quote:

Would assume that physicality will likely come into it some of the younger players appear to be quite slightly built. That is from my viewing of brief highlights rather than seeing them live.Quote:

Quite possibly, but like persisting with Drey Wright last season, at some point we will have to accept a small step backwards in the short term for benefit in the mid term if. None of the youngsters signed, at great expense, look like they will make it and are potentially now just blocking the pathway for the U19s. Who also may not make it but they at least have some pedigree and still to be tried.Quote:

O’Connor and Laidlaw both play in a position where we’re now struggling due to various injuries, Aiken plays in a position where we could do with a bit of freshening up. Cabraja hasn’t fully nailed down LB yet, leaving a possible opening for Oscar McIntyre and you’d expect Johnson to be pushing to get into a few squads ahead of a loan goalkeeper.
That’s a pretty decent situation to be in. Playing for our first team isn’t exactly a cushy number right now and I think Johnson can largely feel justified in not having given these players much more of a look in thus far. I’d expect that to change during the 2nd half of the season.
I think that Hearts have some of their "older" youngsters with the first team in Spain at the mo, and younger players have been temporarily promoted in the meantime.Quote:

Main point for all these players is improvement rather than results - if we bring a few through to be first team regulars, that is the main thing
Steve Kean is doing an excellent job, would t surprise me if he gets the job once Johnson is punted - the added excitement for me would be much like Southgate he knows the young players inside out and don’t think he’d hesitate to include some in the first team.
Great result, love beating them at any age group, and 5-0 is tremendous for their confidence and belief in future derbies. Good stuff boys.
👍👍Quote:

On physicality alone, there's a big gulf between the size of e.g. Melkersen and say, Laidlaw or Aitken. Many of the signings we've made in the past 12 months were made to transition between our U18s and ghe first team.
Size is nonsense. Do you ever see Peter Cormack or Mickey Weir or Derek Riordan start their 1st team runs. Skinny lightweight but good players, that’s all it takesQuote:

There are many reasons why they wouldn’t get a game : crap manager, scared manager, team in a slump , manager doesn’t have the Aristotle , etc. It’s,what differentiates good and very good managers from the restQuote:
