Just wondering if anyone knows why Murphy wasn’t in the squad on Sunday?
On his day a really good player but gets injured just kicking a ball it seems, surely the bounce game was perfect for getting match sharpness and not to get re injured. He'll be one of the top earners too so will be surprised if he doesn't leave when his contract is up.
As good a player as he can be, the team looked much better without him in it...
In order to accommodate him, we often seem to have to play in a way that disadvantages too many of our other players. Hanlon - better on the left of a 3. Doig - better at WB. Nisbet - how much better did he look in a 2?
Great player, if only he has some composure in front of goal.
The new Tim Clancy.
I’d be disappointed if we offer him a new deal. Ultimately he flatters to deceive and is injured too often.
Notice Wood was missing as well.
Knee injury (as per Jack Ross interview)
Worried about Murphy and Magennis. Two top players, very important to us. Appear to be out ling term
Murphy has shown flashes of what he can do but he’s been massively disappointing otherwise. Always injured and when he does play his end product is lacking the majority of the time.
Nathan Wood has been a dreadful signing. Still relying on 34 year old Darren McGregor to fill in says it all.
I assumed it was down to the change of shape. I think Murphy can play more centrally or off the centre forward but Jack went with different personnel and tbf got it spot on.
Nathan Wood has been the strangest signing - excellent pedigree in his career so far but not gotten a sniff at it.
Someone will probably correct me on this, but I can’t remember getting a young player up on loan from England who’s come in and been decent recently. Loads of them who are youth internationals or whatever but different thing when they need to come up and play real football. Even at the point he signed you’re looking at it wondering what the point was because he was never going to play unless there was an injury or suspension.
In the recent European Championships I saw what I considered to be great players.Jamie Murphy does not come anywhere close to these players.
I’ve never understood why Hibs agreed to a deal whereby at the end of a loan period a player who had suffered a serious ACL injury was guaranteed a year long contract.
When we do get the chance to see him there is no doubt that Murphy has good qualities.But he is of no use to Hibs if every time the wind blows the wrong way he goes out injured.
My concern is that Kyle Maggenis may turn out to be another treatment table jockey.
As far as Nathan Woods is concerned if Daz get the shout before him tonight in Dingwall,Woods might as well pack up and head south now.
Jack Ross saying he has a knee knock which kept him out the semi and will keep him out tonight.
