But he still tried to play him like a target man.

[eastmainsmsh]

Big Nishy has always scored goals in spl shiels could be right ... as he is hardly ever wrong lol

[marinello59]

Good luck to the Nishy. He will score goals, he was never as bad as the experts on here decided he was.

[3pm]

Confidence gone by the end at ER. Not the first, nor last.

Only if the target was his erse.

Never before has the title of a thread filled me with as big a sense of dread.

Yogi wanted a traditional target man - hence Trakys. But Nish had no capacity for that role. And what's worse, although he was happy to publically criticise him, when Colin was clearly demoralised and lacking confidence, he continued to play him in the same role, gave him no protection, and no support.
Frankly, it was appalling man management.

[The_Todd]

Nish will come back and bite us on the arse. Just like Rankin he was boo'd out of ER and will no doubt show the boo boys just why they were so wrong.

Still ranked in the SPL top ten goalscorers.

Riordan is ranked third.

Can you tell me what kind of a player he is if he's not a target man? He's certainly not a link man, a winger or a penalty box striker. Yet when he played up front, yes up front. He couldn't trap a bag of cement, couldn't run much, hold onto the ball or stay on his feet, keep onside or generally play decent in any position.

He's a player who will get around 8-10 goals a season in a semi decent side in a good season. As for biting us on our erse, i could do that these days. He was not nearly good enough for what should be a hibs side challenging for a european place every season.

Would anyone actually want him back, and why?

Colin would walk back in this current team imo,suffered horrible stick from a large section of fans.was awkward and gangly, but scored goals,some very good ones as well.A 25 yarder at tannadice springs to mind.signed of with 5 goals in his last 2 games to help seal our euro qualification.not a patch on our current strikers right enough

[Pretty Boy]

Nish was a trier, no doubt in my mind about that.

His SPL goalscoring record is pretty impressive, however things just didn't work out for him at Hibs.

Some of the abuse the guy took was way OTT though, there was some real vitriol in what was aimed at Nish that was totally unnecessary.

Rankin was pish, Nish was worse. What they do before or after their times at Hibs doesn't change the fact they were terrible at Hibs.

This Rankin revisionism on here is bursting me, we were turning cartwheels when Calderwood booted him out. If he has improved his game as a result of that then fair play to him but he was appalling at Easter Road. Utter muck. Complete toilet. A big vacuum packed bag of eggy fart.

When you get rid of poor players and replace them with worse, it does seem to make them seem better.

He's on the bench for Hartlepool today

[LeighLoyal]

I hesitate to say he was the worst ever, but he was rubbish. We got rid of Benji and Donaldson and kept him. Even Curier wasn't as bad.

[matty_f]

Nish was one of the few players that I really hoped wouldn't sign for us. He was gash before he came to us, was gash with us, and I would doubt hugely that he's improved any since leaving.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If Nish had stayed on his feet and kept his concentration levels up, rather than being caught offside, he could very well still be with us or even at a higher level. You can't support basic faults like that in a player just cos he is in a Hibs strip. That is their end of the bargain.

Probably don't want to risk putting him on in case he gets injured, and Killie don't take him off their hands

[Leishy1995]

I saw this thread and thought my bs had actually happened. Tenth top SPL scorer, someone has to use him right.

If this was facebook i was well ready to `like` this post.

[frazeHFC]

I remember Nish's control being as bad as every other part of his game!
