I can't help thinking there's a bit of favouritism as McAllister makes tonight's squad before Jacob or Malik.

Id heard McAllister was really impressive at Blackpool?Quote:

I actually think that it could make it harder for the young lad to breakthrough due to his Dad being the Assistant Manager.Quote:

A lot of pressure on a young laddie to impress when you know there is fans all too willing to accuse you of getting special treatment.Quote:

I remember the Miller boys.
Met Big Mo prematch. He said that Hearts v Hibs under 18’s, is at the Oriam this Tuesday, 2pm KO
When he first signed I had this thought but those who keep track of the development team seem very impressed by him so it’s possible we have attracted a great young playing in part due his dad being at the club rather than the other way around.Quote:

Watching mcallister last year for the under 18s, i probably thought he had no chance of making it.Quote:

I thought he had a good game in the time he was on, showed good awareness in taking a quick freekick and looked to get involved.Quote:

2-2 at home to Hamilton last night after being 2 nil up.
Not everyone is going to make it as a future first team Hibs player but I think we have a good few exciting players who could make it.
Molotnikov signs a 3 year deal.
Good news , young lad looks a very good player .Quote:

Yip great young player.
If it’s based on preseason then it’s probably fair. He was excellent in Blackpool along with Molotnikov. Rudi was a better shout for the squad than Jacob or Malik based on preseason. McAllister likewise.Quote:

I keep bringing it up, but Josh Landers is built like a man already. Hopefully we fast track his development and get him some experience against pros somehow.
From the small samples that I've seen him he's impressed with his size and ability. Reminds me of Garry O'ConnerQuote:
