Deserves to stay?

**Cocaine&Caviar** · 25-04-2010 08:30 PM

After a season of lots of players not playing to their ability or potential, who do we believe deserves a second chance to remain in the squad, or get a new deal?

Also consider, we only really need two first team goalkeepers and a youth under them.

I think the majority of us agree that the team next season should be built around the likes of Hanlon, Murray, Stokes, Wotherspoon, McBride, Galbraith and Miller.

I would also suggest that Bamba will definitely not be with us next season.

I think it must be to do with the fact he is ***** and always passing backwards. He is a poor mans Rankin

You can tell all that after seeing Cregg a few times this season?? How long did it take for Stokes to come onto his game and that was with a proper run in the team and i didnt hear people saying he was sh 1te

**Westie1875** · 25-04-2010 09:05 PM

Why on earth is Riordan even on that list?

**Tiocfaidh Ar La** · 25-04-2010 09:05 PM

He was rotten today and showed nothing at all to suggest he should be at Easter road next year. Smith, brown, hanlon, Murray, wotherspoon, Galbraith, thicot, miller, mcbride, riordan, stokes, are all that should be here next season. Would love Bamba to be there but resigned to him being sold and personally would offer benji another season long deal but think he will be emptied... We need about 6 or 7 players. RB, CB, CM, CF, left/right mid. We have some good players but also an awful lot of ***** as well unfor
tunately... GGTTH

**murray26** · 25-04-2010 09:11 PM

Thicot and Gow, dont understand why Deek is on the list that is a no brainer.

**Cocaine&Caviar** · 25-04-2010 09:12 PM

Lets be honest, if i hadnt put him on someone would have been asking why he wasnt on. No one can doubt the amount of critics he has, deserved or not.

We'd miss him if he left. He had a good game today and never stopped fighting for the cause which was illustrated by him chasing and game and still trying to get on the ball in the 92nd minute, running after Papac from the other side of the pitch. Noone else seemed bothered.

***BSEJVT*** · 26-04-2010 06:51 AM

Although Rankin is an extremely limited footballer, he shows more desire and application than most of the rest of the team put together.

This myth that Hibs are a flair team is utter crap.

From yesterdays team, the only two I would pay money to watch from a skill point of view are Riordan & Benji (and possibly Wotherspoon)

Murray Hanlon & Rankin would get marks for effort.

Thicot did well when he came on,but always looks like he is out for an afternoon stroll.

The rest are utter crap Mccormack, Hogg, Cregg especially and most cant even be arsed to try that hard.

Felt sorry for Mcbride as the only folk that ever showed for a pass were Riordan & Rankin, who invariably gives the ball away.

The best players in the world, Rooney, Messi Xavi, Iniesta have a fantastic work ethic.

Until some of the posers playing for Hibs get that we are stuffed.

Would we **** miss him..

Get the finger out in the summer Yogi an sign a few decent midfielders so we dong have to put up with dross like Rankin, Stevenson etc for another whole season!

***J-C*** · 26-04-2010 09:31 AM

What's amazing about this wee poll is that Thicot is 3rd, hardly had a game all season and when he does he shines everytime.

For this reason alone I think Rankin should stay. But keep him away from creative play as much as possible. I believe he is the solution to our right back problems!

I assume, hope and pray that you are joking.

Rankin may well not be here next season, but people are kidding themselves on if they think he is the root cause of the atrocious run of the form we've been going through over the past 3 months.

**Long suffering** · 26-04-2010 10:37 AM

McCormack and stevenson and galbraith, and nish possibly are the only nes id want punted. We dont need a mass overhaul of the quad just about 3 players 0r 4

Why on earth would you want to see the back of Galbraith? He's been very good whenever hes been involved, and as it stands hes the only natural left winger in the squad.

**hibeezuco** · 26-04-2010 12:42 PM

Granted the season isn't finished and we still have a good chance to hit europe, I'm just wondering how many new players us hibbys think we need.

I'd say at least 10.

This isn't a knee jerk reaction to yesterday. I was there, we weren't as bad as we have been previously but it was like watching THEM play a training match against us.

Thoughts appreciated.

Yup strange one that, never let us down when he has been given the chance, would definitely keep Danny.

10? are you gonna release funds for these new players,everybodys saying we need this player and that kind of player,but quality players cost good hard cash and they need half decent wages? plus quality players you'll find usually end up at other clubs coz we wont bankrupt the club for players who might not work out?if we get quality at a tidy price ill be over the moon!!

plus a good coach/manager should be able to get the best/most out of a average bunch of players?

what are we paying Gow in wages and he aint even played a full game yet has he? maybe im wrong

Just seen your thread titled 'new team please' I suggest you go away and find one

**Cocaine&Caviar** · 26-04-2010 01:03 PM

What id like to see:

Out: Stack/Brown, McCann, Cregg, Stevenson (on loan), Benji, McCormack, Gow, and Maka.

Therefore a squad, that must play 4-4-2 of:

GK: Smith, Brown/Stack

DR: Gray, new player
DL: Mulgrew, new player
DC: Hanlon, new player
DC: Hogg, Thicot

MR: Wotherspoon, new player
ML: Zemmama, Galbraith
MC: Murray, McBride
MC: Miller, Rankin

ST: Stokes, Riordan
TM: Kyle/GOC, Nish

For me, 7 new players needed.

I said partnering either Stokes or Riordan.

***SneakersO'Toole*** · 26-04-2010 01:36 PM

For me personally, the following are not good enough if we want to qualifying for Europe every season like Yogi is stating.

Maka/McCormack/Hogg/Cregg/Rankin/Stevenson/Nish/Benji

I don't care if Yogi keeps them or not. The point being that they can't be accruing 30games each per season if we want to be going places. They are squad players at best and should be used if/when are 1st choice players are out.
