Bring back nish

[Sloppy]

had no height up front tonight, playing high balls to stokes and riorden get nishy back

[hibee_girl]

I said the same thing tonight, we could have done with him

[Sammy7nil]

Are things really that bad ?

Benji surely worth a shout before "NISE"

again he has no presence about him

[Greenblood70]

I'm not sure how nish would've been the answer tbh, honest trier that he is.

I think our problems run deeper than that sadly.

Anyone who was at Hamilton will testify that Nish does no better than Stokes with high balls.

Isn't the answer to stop playing high balls?

but you have no movement from midfield and fans moan so stack does the reasonable thing and smacks it up for them to header straight back to us

[HibbyKeith]

never mind nish... get bamba back in midfield!

we were shocking again in the middle of the park, no bite/presence/anything.

hogg/thicot and murray at cb with bamba in the middle replacing mcbride pls.

and nish up front

[Captain Trips]

Nish, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Messi? Matters not when the defence hasnt the papers to defend.

Now how often has Nish been named in same sentence as those guys

[Jones28]

Until we can pass the ball to feet and stop playing 50/50 balls, it dosen't matter who's up front.

[ScottB]

To an extent we may be missing his assists etc, but really the key areas are exactly what they were last year, despite massive (for us) investment.

Dodgy Keeping situation

Shaky Defense

Midfield

We are, over flowing with talent and options in the attack roles, but everything else is stretched thin frankly. A doing like tonight has been on the cards and we have, to an extent, ridden our luck thus far this season.

Surely nobody can want Murray at CB,he can't even jump anymore.

[TheBall'sRound]

It's not the end of the world if you don't win the high ball as long as you are committed to winning the second ball the comes out the way. We're sitting so deep that their centre halves are having no problems hitting their midfielders unchallenged.

When was the last time we dominated another side? That game tonight looked all too familiar compared to last season

TBH I feel that this is more of the problem rather than who it is playing up front.

And despite the fact he is tall Nish doesn't win anything in the air much anyway

If you are going to hump high balls into the front players then Nish is the only person who can deal with them...

[Bayern Bru]

Nish can't deal with high balls. He either misses them completely or gives away fouls.

It wouldn't be a positive change, it'd be lateral at best.

At least he would compete with the defenders physically which is a lot more than Stokes or Deek can do... There defence tonight won't have any easier 90minutes for a while ...

[Hibs90]

Where was Thicot, Nish and Cregg?

Would have been an improvement on that crap.

Exactly, we have players who can pass the ball and link up with the strikers so why not just play the ball through Cregg, Mcbride, Miller etc

Thicot would be better at the back than Sol that's for sure.........

Nish 'competing' usually means him grappling with the defender, losing the ball with a poor first touch, falling on his a***e and then complaining when he doesn't get a free kick. Sorry, but having Nish back in would solve nothing at all.

I doubt Nish would be able to effectively compete with defenders. His 'performance' at Hamilton is an example.

Stokes and Deek can't deal with high balls, but the answer is to change tactics, not bring in Nish.

Agree! Or give Benji a game.

Eh... maybe we could try playing some football instead

[HibeeUnderwood]

I was sitting west upper tonight and I saw Colin Nish sitting in the executive bit with some other guys and this is a game that he could have been playing in and he seemed really peeved that he was sitting up their instead of playing on the park, understandable! I think that we would have benefited from Nishy's presensce tonight, he does give height and puts in a good shift, it is just a shame that his games to goals ratio doesn't add up!

It's not his goals to games ratio, it's the fact that he's been pish the past few games he's played in...

What presence does Nish have?

He's a big guy, but he has no presence, no strength.

Nish would not have been the answer.

His height I'm afraid, that would have been useful when you consider every ball we played was a long high one and the st j defence was heading every ball clear

I think it may not have changed the outcome of the result but it would have created more chances for us, if only those who are given the chance take it!

When have you ever seen Nish win balls in the air?

Ronnie Corbett could make as good a go at winning a high ball as Nish.
