Taken of at half time today, does anyone know if he was injured?

He never travelled back by the team bus as he was the passenger in a black Range Rover which under took us and several other cars on the way back down the road. Apart from dangerous driving, is it the norm for players not to travel back by the team bus?

Would think that as he doesn't live in Edinburgh, it is fair to assume that he was ok to make his own way home. I don't think that's unusual to be honest, players will often do that if it's easier to go straight home rather than getting the bus to Easter Road, only to have a long drive back home afterwards.

He had about 2 touches first half, was rotten. He seems to stand really far away from Sodje, and given that nearly every ball is aimed up at him, you think he would stay close by to win the flick ons etc.

Agree with this, he was very ineffective today

***blackpoolhibs*** · 05-03-2011 05:41 PM

I have a feeling we are seeing the end of Deek as a Hibs player.

there's no point playing long balls up to Sodje to flick on if Deeks is 30 yards away from him. The distance between the pair of them is ridiculous at times

Yep, he needs to get himself around him. Deeks was poor today but wasn't alone. Still convinced Murray is finished!

**7Hero** · 05-03-2011 05:53 PM

He was rotten today. Not many played well though and Murray is definitely finished

why was everybody sitting in the outside lane then ? when people insist on doing that it does my nut in

other than that it is a wee bit strange

Just a gut feeling, thats all. I think Calderwood wants someone who will contribute more than goals. I might be wrong, but just a feeling i have.

Murray had a nightmare today, looked so uncomfortable at the back, and put us under pressure on quite a few occasions with poor decisions. Got zero pace which doesnt help things.

Thought Thornhill was rubbish as well, looks very lightweight compared to the likes of Scott and was quite slow. Think he needs to come off the bench until hes up to speed with things.

Yeah, i'd only give pass marks to Hanlon and Dickoh today. Can't make my mind up with Murray, had a couple of really goods games before his suspension but was terrible today.

***Keith_M*** · 05-03-2011 06:48 PM

Lat season, I felt our strikers never really looked like a proper partnership.

It may be that CC would prefer players up front who know how to play off one another, which could mean Deeks exit is getting nearer.

**Andy74** · 05-03-2011 06:49 PM

Forgot about Thornhill! The new Brian Kerr!

I think your right

. Really hope he stays but think if a deal was going to be done it would have been done by now.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting but IMO Murray didn't play at the back.

As regards Deek I don't like the way its heading.

I would love to see him stay but as each week goes by it seems to me more and more unlikely.

I would love to be wrong on this one.

**IWasThere2016** · 05-03-2011 07:12 PM

I don't think Thornhill is fit - looks heavy to me. I think this may be IM's last season. Agree with Blackpool, Deeks will leave IMHO.

Later in the 2nd half he moved to the back and Booth/Stevenson played in front of him.

Nah I know, but a few times he was in our box defending and he was all over the place, he got the ball and despite everyone screaming that he had time he either hoofed it straight out of play or right to one of the St. Johnstone players.

As someone mentioned, he moved to LB later on and looked shakey then, got spun very easily at one point allowing their player to fly down the wing unchallenged.

I sicerely hope Thornhill isnt fit (if so why is he starting?)

as his 1st half display was woeful. Get some extra training done son, was slightly better after interval but 1st 45 was gash

But so was the rest of the team in the 1st half.

Based on his previous performances I don't think he is either (didn't see today) but there is a decent player in there I think. Am I correct in thinking he hadn't really been playing many games this season before coming here? Not everyone can hit the ground running, maybe just needs a bit more time to get used to this league than the other new players do.

Fair points.

I think with Ian Murray he plays well when he is a regular first pick.

The suspension kicked in at a time he was playing well.

Problem being he is likely to be like that for a while due to our sporadic appearances over the coming weeks.

Back to square one really.

**truehibernian** · 05-03-2011 08:09 PM

I thought Thornhill initially played left mid, and then when things were getting physical Nid and Thornhill swapped positions so that Callum had a little more defensive cover from midfield. DW played a wee bit too wide and high, however in saying that all Saints play first half came down Boothy's flank and Towell and DW were left in acres of space but the ball not getting to them.

McInnes got it tactically spot on today. Their centre midfield pairing was huge, they won all the headers and second balls, and played with greater width.

Derek was anonymous today. I get the feeling with him sometimes that he looks at the pitch and surface and his head drops when things go away from him. Just didn't look at the races today. Midfield gave him and Sodje nothing to work on first half though.

Credit to Saints today though. They battled hard and won a hell of a lot of tackles, headers and loose balls. We looked very jaded and tired out there.

I know we need a scapegoat at the moment but let's not get the hate campaign in full swing for a few weeks yet.

How many games has the boy played? 3/4?

**Davy Mac** · 05-03-2011 09:14 PM

Cannae believe some of the shxte I'm reading about Deeks. on this forum.

Honestly, do me a favour - we are lucky to have him and for all you who think he will be able to be replaced better think again.

Deeks sign for life - you know it makes sense.

He was replaced pretty effectively at half time.
