Stack

**1875Sean** · 31-10-2010 10:45 PM

Anyone know when he is due back from injury?

Could really do with him back inbetween the sticks next week

Didn't realise Mark Brown was such a crap keeper and is such a liability for Stack to suddenly return between the sticks.

and remember the goal stack gifted the yams last season.

Brown is the better keeper IMO.

I don't think there's too much between them. Happy with either in goals, to be honest.
Stack only gets a hard time on here because people went looking for faults so they could defend maka.

He's consistent & reliable and doing a good job right now.

The only mistake he made that cost us anything IIRC. And he wasn't the only one to blame for that goal either.

I would agree. Same keeper and back four for Hearts as started against United. The only thing I would say about Stack, is that when he is fit, he has to be first option if Brown is ruled out. Stack, then a choice from the younger players. Smith needs emptied.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 01-11-2010 07:47 AM

I prefer Stack, although he's been out too long to throw him back in if he's fit next week.

We don't need our goalie's chopped and changed again. Hughes tried it and broke Smith and Stack's confidence. Stick with Brown, best we have

**Pretty Boy** · 01-11-2010 08:38 AM

Brown has been doing ok.

He's not exactly been helped by some of the absolutely woeful defensive performances that he has had to contend with either.

I think Brown and Stack fighting it out for the gloves leaves us in a pretty good position keeper wise.

**Taz_hibee** · 01-11-2010 08:40 AM

Talking about Maka, could you imagine the threads on here right now if he had made that howler on Sat

***.Sean.*** · 01-11-2010 08:47 AM

Stack for me.

Maka wont be making any mistakes on a Saturday for quite a while.

The silence is deafening. There's one angle on the BBC footage that shows how slowly he was coming out for the ball to begin with. He then skips gaily past the player into no man's land. Not the first time he's jumped away from the ball either. Still...best keeper at the club now that Maka has gone.

**1875Sean** · 01-11-2010 11:13 AM

Has brown kept a clean sheet nice playing for hibs?

For me he should have done alot better for the goal on sat, looked like he bottled a 50/50

Plus think Stack is better at orginasing the defence

His positioning for Aberdeen's first goal last weekend was pretty dreadful IMO.

Had Maka made that blunder, as someone has previously posted, there would be a 7+ page thread full of abuse. And i wasn't even a Maka fan.

Oh great.

Five years at leasst we've been going on about our goalies. Hughes punts Public Enemy Number One in the summer, so NOW we have to start on Brown, Stack, Smith....

Smith I would agree has questions to answer from the end of last season, though I do think he's a perfectly adequate keeper for an SPL team.

Stack has injury issues. Do we persist with a guy who seems to be injured more often than he's fit? (See Chris Killen, aka Sicknote....)

Brown is the man in charge just now, at a time when the new manager's looking to steady the team and bring some order and understanding to the defence. Seems to me to be doing OK.

But hey, why bother about any of that?

There's a bunch of posters on this site who seem to reckon that our best keeper is the one who ISN'T playing whenever they decide to post. If Brown's in goal, it must be Stack. If Stack's in gola, let's have Smith. If Smith makes a mistake, Brown's tha best. Or maybe we should throw young Flynn into the Derby match?

My impression (which is no doubt influenced by my warped and twisted nature) is that a lot of posters' opinions are formed by what they hear on Sky Sports, or (God save the mark!) BBC Scotland. Opinions often voiced by media hacks of doubtful intelligence and depraved and crooked character.

Watch the freakin game for 45 years, chums, and by then you might know something.

***rainman*** · 01-11-2010 11:29 AM

Not seen much this season but don't see how anybody can comment on the keepers when the guys in front of them defend like they did against Aberdeen.

***SneakersO'Toole*** · 01-11-2010 11:34 AM

Stack is far too injury prone and should be punted in the summer IMO.

Brown is a more than adequate goalie for the SPL. His mistake on Saturday was probably the 1st one I can remember since he got into the team.

He deserves to keep his place for Sunday.

No, but the fact that we've had 2 clean sheets in about 42 games would suggest that maybe Brown's not the problem?

I'd prefer Brown for Sunday even if Stack is fit.

The way I would describe the goal on Saturday was that the keeper "shat it"

**Ozyhibby** · 01-11-2010 02:18 PM

Brown for me. Has performed well considering he has to play behind our defence.

Yes, and if Brown starts making them every two or three weeks then it will be the same. What is your point?

***cocopops1875*** · 01-11-2010 05:36 PM

in my opinion stack is the best keeper we have had in ages, that said he is an injury nightmare and struggles to put 4 or 5 games together that is no good for the defence as knowing your keeper is important

It's hard to keep a clean sheet nice when you're playing for Hibs and your name is Brown.
