    Looks to have something about him. Seems tricky and good on the ball, something tells me he's not been signed to play at right back.

    I am pretty sure he has, i think it was just the circumstances that dictated where he played today. In fact i am sure in their interviews they both said he was here primarily as a RB and PF def said he was a natural RB.

    He'll have to fight really hard to win the RB position from Hart.

    Looked comfortable on the ball, played with his head up and looked for a pass. I like the look of him and agree with the previous poster who said he may not have been brought in to play at right back.

    Really impressed with this guy, looks a player and could form a decent midfield with Ozzy & Stevenson.
    Desperately require full backs & Centre Half, it was a bombscare everytime Dunfermline attacked.

    Don't rush to judgement, many said the same about Victor Palsson after game 1.

    He was signed to play for Hibs.

    Fenlon has been saying its important whoever comes in is flexible enough to be used in other positions.

    Hart seems to have done quite well the last two games, although I didn't see who wasn't marking well enough at their first.

    A good debut. In the short time he was on the park he looks like being a good acquisition. Looking forward to seeing more and will be interesting to see where Pat will play him.

    Pretty sure it was Hart at fault for the first today.
    Happy as Larry!

    He looked really comfortbable and reckon even at RM again he can replace Sproule. Looks like he will be a good addition for the rest of his loan.

    Just saw it. Between Hart and Brown they both could have done better IMO.

    you can see he is technically good straight away and looks to be a good signing

    If Palsson and Thornhill were to be signed by Fenlon, one suspects they'd have been of far more importance and value than the players Fenlon inherited.

    I'm straying off topic here but I honestly think Calderwood's signings were by and large good players who were not managed properly enough or strictly enough.

    Wee Paddy's gonna sort us out.

    Been really, really critical of Hart myself recently but from where I was sitting it looked like he cleared the ball off the line at 2 - 2. So credit where credits due and all that, he helped us get the result we did today.

    He only played 20 mins and it was only against a very poor Pars team but if he played like that week on week and ran in to the box he would be a legend

    I know what you mean. Stevenson has looked better for a start.

    Palsson for one seemed to fit the managers "not that bothered" Attitude.

    I was trying to figure out how long he was on the park, and knew it was not very long but mates around me discussing him thought he was a player.looks the real deal, and the question has to be, RB or not RB? although he played through the middle, and his touch,passes, and drive were all exellent for the short period he was on.

    he looked good. Very composed and decent on the ball but if he has been bought to play at right back then you can't really judge him in terms of defensive awareness and positioning which can often be a problem with young defenders. fingers crossed though!
