Kept the ball well and didn't look out of place against 2/3 good prem players.

Thought he worked hard yesterday covering a lot of ground closing down players in midfield. Most of his passes here back to defenders or to the goalie however.
I think he is still handy to have as midfield back up but we need creative players in there that can move the ball forward and influence our play.

Made some important tackles and never tried anything too risky. An accomplished game
Like to see him start next week.

hope he gets the full support from the Hibs fans when wearing the green & white.
Played well yesterday and hopefully can continue it into the league matches.

Didn't see the game yesterday but I am convinced there is a good player in there somewhere, lets hope he comes out this season.

Had a decent game, maybe just maybe he can have a few more, I certainly hope so.

Got time on the ball in a friendly. He wont get so much time against SPL opposition who will be snapping at his heels.
He played well yesterday lets hope he can carry that on. I dont think he will but I wish him well and hope he proves me wrong.

I thought he was excellent yesterday, worked hard, kept the ball well, tracked their players throughout and looked good against a Sunderland side full of quality players.

I thought he was average at best in the first half but slightly better in the second. He hasn't got the pace to be a first team player. He was better than Galbraith though who was really disappointing.
The positives were the defense and the young lads who did well as Sunderland tired in the last 20 minutes. We desperately need a fit forward to play alongside O'Connor."Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.' - Paulo Freire

Yesterday the fact that SA looked to play football, he was on from the start and not a sub in an unfamiliar position being expected to change things, and the absence of Boo boys all helped.......
He looked like he could make a good contribution to our season......

I was happy with his performance yesterday, I must admit I have always felt he was too slow but as someone's already said he never seemed to be left for dead by anyone. Hope its onwards and upwards with him, cause i've seen a few bits and bobs that make him look like he could be a very good player for us!

Tracked a few runs yesterday but hasn't got a lot to offer. If we dont get 2 or 3 midfield players who can contribute something in an attacking sense in then we will struggle because at the moment we've got nowt.

I thought he'd a good game and he was involved in the thing that raised the biggest smile for me. Hibs had won a corner but the ball was lying against the hoardings about half way between the corner flag and the goal. Callum was waiting to take the corner and so Ed suddenly sprinted towards the ball from around twelve yards out and Gyan spotted this and chased after him thinking Ed was his man to markThis is how it feels

When the game is played at any pace, EDG is always second, sometimes third to the ball. It often bounces off him in the style of Davie Beaumont and indeed if he's got half an hour, he can certainly keep a move going, pick a pass and offer himself as an option for a return ball but under pressure, he's no use to us I'm afraid.
CC refered to 'a busy period' in terms of transfer activity before the window slams shut forever until January and I can't help thinking that whilst it hasn't been said, two or three signings in 3-4 weeks isn't really what I'd call that busy a period and so I wonder whether we'll see players departing as well?

He did well but we have to put it in prespective. He played every ball back or side ways Hibs as a team again created very very little.
It was a friendly there was maybe one tackle in the whole game, neither side gave a monkeys and neither side tried a leg other than in the odd flash early on.
If he could not play in a game of that pace and with the lack of tackles he really should give up.
As I said he did fine lets not say we have a player lets give him support and wait and see I hope he shows has something in a real game.

If we add another midfielder, I think EDG will be loaned out, and will be no loss IMHO.

It's true that they weren't flying in with tackles but they most certainly weren't treating it as an unimportant bounce game. And why would they, their season starts next week. A bit disappointing for a Premiership side but a Premiership side none the less.
They were quick to close down ball carriers and close down space and if it weren't for sterling work by Murray and De Graff we would have had precious little possession at all and even less in the way of attacking forays (especially since anything aimed at O'Connor usually came straight back at us with interest).

Good to see him getting a bit of a chance. Good player and a wee goal would make a big difference.
