I like Doidge. I get he goes through streaks of scoring goals. I also get he offers a lot to the team when he’s not scoring. But why does he look so unsharp?
He is not the greatest but that is why he is still at Hibs, just the way it is.

I like Doidge. He's not had a great day today and should have burried at least one, if not both, of those chances. I don't think he deserves to get singled out though - most of them had a bad day today.
His first chance today wasn't a bad miss. He struck it well and got it on target from wide right but the keeper made a good save. Straight away we have some posting that he "needs dropped".
The second he should maybe have done better. He waited for the ball to come down, he volleyed it when at was still fairly high and the keeper saved - however he was only about a foot away from where Doidge connected so the angle was well narrowed.
He should definitely have done better with the header from the loose ball.
I still think a lot of the criticism is way OTT and, as others have said, Nisbet didn't look great either.
I’m losing patience with him.
That was garbage and on the back of a poor run without scoring, he’s going to have his work cut out staying in the team from a squad very short on strikers.
Any other season he’d have been dropped long before now and had a big job on his hands getting back in the team.
We need much more from him or he’s going to have to be top of the list of players needing replaced over the summer.
He’s very good at hitting the keeper. Hits some of his shots higher than needed giving the keeper a better chance.
Doidge looks a bit like he did when he first arrived when he couldn't buy a goal. His work rate has always been excellent, wins his headers, are ins the ball back, presses well. In front of goal he is looking down on confidence and getting frustrated. A crappy goal would do him a power of good to get going again, but a week on the bench might be needed. For me not our worst player today
Absolutely love the big guy and he has a lot more to his game than goals. However, this has been a bad spell for him, missed a good few chances since he last scored a goal.
Hopefully can bag one soon and go on another run.
I’m of a similar opinion to Blackpool. If we’d signed him this season I think the reaction to him would be totally different IMO, he’s getting a lot of leeway cos of his scoring run last season.
He’ll come good again of that I am sure.
IMHO too. Afraid he's slower than a week in saughton which doesn't help.
He normally wins his fair share of high balls but didn't today. However, as others have said, he's long overdue a shot on the bench.
Huge disappointment for the supposed fee we paid for him.
