    Player Ratings Scottish Semi Final Win

    Stack - 8/10 - Good until he went off, nobody in the world would have saved the Aberdeen Goal
    Doherty - 7/10 - Played wel & took a lot of bashing, weak clearance header for Aberdeen Goal.
    Mcpake (c) - 10/10 - Both attacks for the Goals were started by his input into the game. very solid at the back.
    Hanlon - 8/10 - Solid honest shift
    Kujabi - 8/10 - Aberdeen never really got to grips with him, perhaps only one lapse though in defence.
    Soares - 6/10 I wanted more from him, but good passing passages and combined well.
    Ozzy - 9/10 - Ran all day protected the defence when required, the engine of the midfield today.
    Claros - 7/10 - some nice touches and is growing into the team.
    Sproule - 7/10 - never set the game alight but constantly kept Aberdeen
    guessing
    Griffiths -9/10 - played for 95 minutes, well taken goal, hit the post too
    Goc - 9/10 - All class, has lost weight, is sharper. A very, very good striker took his goal well and assisted Giriffiths Goal

    Subs
    Brown - 8/10 Did well 2 good saves (there are no easy saves in the semi-finals)
    Francomb - 6/10 almost lost the game giving away a free kick with minuted left
    Wotherspoon - 7/10 on for Claros, some good go forward and changed things around a bit

    Doyle - unused -still think his fate is to do something for us in the cup yet (just a feeling I have)

    Stack 7 Still wish he would come out a bit more. Not a lot to do but did it well.

    Kujabi 8 Great assist, won his individual battles.
    McPake 8 Very good. Not completely faultless, a couple of slack.passes thatcould have cost us against better players, but still our best defender.
    Hanlon 7
    Doherty 7

    Sproule 6 worked tirelessly in a defensive role.
    Claros 6 an occasional touch of quality but needs to impose himself more.
    Ozzie 6 Like the rest of the midfield was completely dominated in the air. Much better when he got it down and played.
    Soares 6

    O'Connor 8 Has obviously worked hard on his fitness. Delighted for him.
    Griffiths 9 Sensational workrate and took his goal really well.

    Fenlon 9 Got the tactics right...pressed their players hard throughout. Sometimes the quality wasn't there but the effort they put in was tremendous. Really pleased and proud of them all

    Doherty 7
    McPake 8. Solid.
    Hanlon 7
    Kujabi 6

    Sproule 7.
    Osbourne 7. Best I've seen him play in ages, needs to improve his distribution a lot though.
    Claros 7
    Soares 1. Total passenger, looked absolutely exhausted for the last 20.

    O'Connor 8
    Griffiths 7

    This is outrageous ! Why did you only give James McPake a 10 ?

    Claros hasn't been playing, so he can't have been crap for the past weeks. Whilst Sproule and Soares didnt do a great deal in attack, the whole team pressed all over the pitch, Claros put himself about well and played the easy passes. The midfield as a defensive unit were good today I thought.

    The whole point about today was that Sproule and Soares were to defend the wings so that Aberdeen couldn't get crosses in to the two big men-this worked a treat -anyone who doesn't think so in my humble opinion knows SFA about football.

    Spot on As a result Aberdeen only created a handful of chances throughout the game.
    Happy as Larry!

    Sometimes players sacrifice their own games to do a job for the team.

    It makes them look bad but "real football people" know whats going on

    Have to say i thought Claros had a bit of a shocker at times today! You can see the odd glimpse of class with some of the stuff he does but seems to be struggling to get used to scottish football but hopefully in time he will get used to it.

    Stack 7 - Caught everything he had, came off his line (once, maybe ), had no chance with the goal

    Doherty 7 - Good game
    McPake 10 - Solid
    Hanlon 9 - Another good solid game from him
    Kujabi 7 - he was good but can never relax watching him!

    Soares 6 - Wasn't great, kept drifting into the middle leaving the Aberdeen player in acres of space! He'd be better in the middle though
    Claros 6 - thought it was his best game for us so far but fully expect Stevenson to claim his place back next week
    Osbourne 9 - he strolled through that game with ease
    Sproule 7 - yes he didn't come forward an awful lot but it was clear he'd been told to protect/help Kujabi

    O'Connor 9 - the hardest he's worked all season
    Griffiths 9 - he just never gives up

    Stack 5 - Didn't have much to do, poor distribution, should have saved the goal
    Doherty 7 - Played well
    McPake 8 - Brilliant, a couple of mistakes
    Hanlon 8 - Yet again, solid
    Kujabi 7 - Exciting again.

    Soares 5 - Wasn't great
    Claros 6 - Never done much wrong, was a bit quite
    Osbourne 8 - Was hard in the challenge and stopped any sheep attacks
    Sproule 3 - Looked absolutely clueless...again!

    O'Connor 7 - Hitting form again, looks clumsy sometimes but he's a goalscorer
    Griffiths 6 - Tried to be exciting, not much came off for him. Scored the winner! Typical

    Average Rating: 6.36

    Brown - Better than Stack. Deserves a start

    Agree about Soars but i thought Claros and Sproule did contribute considerably to our Victory.
    I was proud today to be a hibee, well done to all the team.

    Doherty - 7, did well
    Mcpake - 11, MOTM by a mile
    Hanlon - 9, excellent
    Kujabi - 8, one bad pass apart from that didnt put a foot wrong

    Soares - 6, dissapointing, but worked hard defending
    Osbourne - 7, did alright, lack of composure let him down
    Claros - 7, ditto
    Sproule - 5, infuriating going forward but worked hard as per

    Go'C - 8

    McPake was outstanding closely followed by Griffiths and if PF has funds at the end of the season then for me the 2 if them should be top if the list.

    McPake was the MOTM by a country mile IMHO

    I thought Griffiths was MOTM today. Held the ball up and always showed for it. Generally was a total pain to the Aberdeen defenders and never gave them peace.

    As an aside I though Claros did ok as well though at times looked unsure what his role was.

    Stack 6 - Solid enough but not much to do.

    Doherty 7 - Battled well. Decent game.
    Hanlon 7 - Distribution poor at times but has much improved since playing alongside McPake.
    McPake 9 - Inspirational
    kujabi 7 - One moment of madness but otherwise a decent game. Loads of energy.

    Soares 5 - Pressed and covered well but quiet game.
    Osbourne 9 - Our best midfielder by a mile. Solid throughout.
    Claros 6 - Did ok but yet to settle. Will be a better player next season.
    Sproule 5 - Like Soares worked hard but didn't pose much of a threat.

    Griffiths 9 - Must be a nightmare to play against. Perpetual motion. Brilliantly taken winner.
    O'Connor 8 - Has picked up following a mid-season slump. Forming a decent partnership with Sparky.

    Brown 6 - Assured when coming on at a time when the dons were on top. Gave team confidence to push on in the final 10 mins.
    Wotherspoon 6 - Did really well when he came on.
    Francombe - 1 - no time to shine.

    Well done Hibs. A great battling performance.

    People who are moaning about the midfield.


    Who's to say that we still would have won today if we had a different midfield?

    O'Connor's positionai awareness with his back to the goal when he scored was really impressive.
