Chris Hogg

[Jones28]

:notworthy: see what confidence does to a player? As soon as he scored his first he was a different man!

And what about the second?!

[Alex Trager]

Words cant describe how happy I was for him. He was the only player who showed a hunger rite from the first whistle. And the second goal. Superb

[_hucks_]

I was well impressed with Hogg today - going forward he clearly isn't a natural but he worked very hard, and was doing his best to get into the right positions. For his second goal, he'd been in an advanced position down the right, the ball was on the left flank and he drifted into the box really well. He sometimes struggles, but he's clearly an intelligent player who knows the game well, and with some confidence he can be a cracking player.

Chris Hogg = Goal Machine!

Er...well... mibbe no... but well done on a winning performance today.

Keep up the good work...!

[Westie1875]

I must admit I was a bit concerned seeing him lining up at right back to begin with.

That said, I was delighted for Hoggy today. After being dropped a few weeks ago to come into the team today, play out of position and go on to lead by example scoring the winning goals (2nd was a peach of a header) was fantastic. He must be over the moon tonight.

[hibee]

Fantastic response to being dropped, delighted for him and us, not having to sit through yet another loss !!

Chris Hogg: Cometh the hour, cometh the man!

[OtterHibee]

I'm absolutely over the moon for him

Still can't stop smiling. Doesn't score for 5 years and then hits a double within the space of 10 minutes, and incidentally against the team he netted his only previous goal for Hibs back in 2006 against. Superb!

Well done Chris! You deserve that.

[Toaods]

Man of the Match? Jesus, he was murder. The most central right back ever seen. If he's our future we're in big trouble.

[ionahibby]

So happy for hogg about time he got some luck! But i do think some folk are two faced though when it comes to hogg , folk at the game today were singing his praises yet these were the same folk that were giving him unjustified(imho) pelters and that he shouldn't play again months back! But anyway well done hogg you were outstanding today

Delighted for him on a personal level - a great big GIRUY to all his detractors (me included)

Never a full back in a million years though - he'll not be worried about that tonight

Hanlon or Bamba MOM for me

Stone. Back. Under. Crawl.

That is all.

MOTM without a doubt. His two goals were what made the difference today.

[Skanko79]

Delighted for Hoggy, lets hope for more of the same from him. Hope his confidence spreads throughout the team.

[col02]

Hogg did ok today and I am delighted for him to get the two goals that won the match. Fwiw I thought Wotherspoon was motm as he was back to his best I felt. No doubt be someone to shoot that claim down soon though as not the done thing to praise Hibs players. Good win today and albeit it only one win something at least to try and get a bit momentum going.

I agree with him. Their left winger scored and then missed a sitter with Hogg sleeping at the back post just before Hogg got his first.

Before the clowns start rattling their keyboard....Yes I know that he scored two great goals that won us the game.

[Dinkydoo]

Well done Hoggy; I've now got my two new hibs tops with his and Nish's name on the back. Oh wait I forgot, Nish is still pish

Seriously though, he does deserve a little praise for winning the match for us the day.

I take it he is "Hibs class" now?

Thinking maybe the exertions of playing for the Scotland 21's maybe took their toll on Wotherspoon hence the sub. Not been many players in recent years that I have thought can go on and play at a high level apart from maybe Steven Fletcher but Wotherspoon has imho potential to go really far in the game. I would love to see him given a role in the centre of midfield next season as he will have enough experience to handle the rough and tumble in there.

[lucky]

2 goals 1 assist. Somes it up for me. Second goal a cracker but he is an awful defender. Never MoM. But at least he tries.

[SRHibs]

I thought he had a shaky start and was leaving us a bit exposed, but after his goal he gained confidence, and with the support behind him he looked A LOT better than he has done recently. You don't get POTY if you're *****, and I'd imagine if he hits a bit of form then he'll become an integral part of our team again.

[thebakerboy]

Thought we started the game with a 3 5 2 formation but after Hoggy did his McManus impression , and ran under the cross to leave forward an open goal at the back post and a couple more near things , the 'management team' quickly changed to a standard 4 4 2 pulling Stevenson into LB and pushed Hoggy wide into RB (insert your own anti Yogi/Mixu comment here ). From there we played a bit better with Wotherspoon playing very well on the right. Now to Hogg , was to blame for goal , and is never a full back but he tried his heart out and scored two cracking headers so what can you say but well done son , hope it gives you back the confidence you lost under Yogi. I have one more thing to say , keeper is taking a free kick just outside the box and our centre forward is caught offside 60yds away on the edge of our opponents box HOW HOW HOW HOW can't he see where other players are it's not rocket science Nish is @{£$. GOOD TO WIN AT HOME

[Dirkster23]

[QUOTE=thebakerboy;2608232]Thought we started the game with a 3 5 2 formation

We played 4 4 2 from the start today but both fullbacks had obviously been told to push up the wings when we had the ball.

Hogg was guilty of tucking in too much today, but that's what happens when you play a CH at fullback. Two cracking headers and gave his all for the cause. Can't really ask for any more than that.

[sixtwo]

I criticise players when they are bad and I often aim criticism at hogg and nish when they are poor, but when players play well they deserve credit. When players make the difference they deserve to be applauded. When they score two goals to win the first home game for many months, they deserve a standing ovation. Well done Chris, keep it up! Your effort today was appreciated by every hibby!
