Wotherspoon

[Monts]

I thought he had a pretty good game today out on the right.

Hes been one that has been in for a fair bit of stick recently, so I think its only right to give credit where its due.

He had some nice footwork, good interplay and set up the goal perfectly. He also threw in some dangerous crosses, although others were fluffed.

Overall though I thought he was much improved.

[steakbake]

Yes, another plus today was to see him pick it up a bit.

Had a really good game today, only 1 mistake for me could have easily put Caldwell in on goal near the end but launched it out of play.

[Spike Mandela]

He certainly seen plenty of the ball but was disappointing with a lot of his deliveries. Really needs to work on getting crosses and corners past the first man.

Good work at the goal as you say but would like to see more from him considering some of the advanced positions he found himself in though.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Spoony's best game in ages. Great assist from him too.

[SaulGoodman]

Am I right in thinking he was playing in his preferred position tonight?

[Heisenberg]

We did well to get the ball over to him and target their left back as he looked quite poor. Good assist for the goal too.

[hibee_girl]

I thought he did okay today but was still the weakest in the team IMO

[HibbyAndy]

Fantastic today.

[aunty joyce]

I totally agree and it was Spoony who threaded the pass perfectly for Sparky to score . . . unfortunately the pro-soccer manager who sits behind us would

clearly disagree as he hurled abuse at him saying he's been awful

Good ball from Maybury as well. Fenlons been at the video vault and watching some of the forward plays from the Mowbrat era.

I long for the days we had defenders who can find a pass. Some of those Whittaker to Murphy looping passes across the pitch were just sublime.

[Wotherspiniesta]

Did well today

Much better option than Sproule.

Was it not Stevenson who played the ball wide?

Could be wrong.

Certainly was a great goal from us!

Fairly sure it was from Maybury on the left and he found Spoony.

GOAL- Hibernian 1-1 Hearts (Griffiths)Lewis Stevenson finds David Wotherspoon with a long, cross-field pass and this time the midfielder does pick out Leigh Griffiths with a lovely pass. The striker is eye-to-eye with Jamie Macdonald and pokes the ball under the advancing goalkeeper.



Anyway, I'm away for a steakbake!

[Matt92]

I'm away at the very back of the Famous Five and genuinely thought for the first 20 minutes he was a new signing/youth! Great performance by him.

[lucky]

Played his part today. Hopefully he can kick on and get some confidence and be more consistent

[I'm_cabbaged]

Na was Stevenson, usually a spoony defender but thought he was pretty poor today. Plenty of opportunities to get past the last man but did his usual cut inside

Edit: should have quoted stakebake

[Northernhibee]

Would be thinking of this for the next game:

Williams
Clancy McPake Hanlon Maybury
Wotherspoon Claros Deegan Cairney
Griffiths Kuqi

Subs: Antell, O'Hanlon, Booth, Stevenson, Doyle, Stanton, Caldwell

Which looks much, much stronger.

Plus PF will be back on the touchline.

[essexhibee]

Great pass for the goal. Thought he played well today. Few dodgy passes he needs to cut out but massive improvement than when I have previously seen him.

Yep. if PF is talking about a few more signings or loan deals it would be spoony making way IMO.

[ahibby]

I thought he had a poor first twenty minutes then got better as the game went on. Was a good assist from him.

it's a fair cop.

[Broken Gnome]

I'm usually a sympathiser but was half expecting him to get pelters on here. Didn't think he was bad as such, good moments such as the assist obviously, but I almost symbolise with having his head almost permanently in his hands. See the throughball to Handling that was hit around four times as hard as it should've been, immediately after the great skill to give himself space.

Bloody infuriating. Looks so naturally gifted at times, yet the most simple things can look such an effort minutes later.

Thought he was our weak link too....Sublime ball for goal, but deliveries woeful....Shocking ball for Caldwell, near the end....

[Scouse Hibee]

Opinions eh, he saw plenty of the ball but thought most of his deliveries from wide were poor and and his passing at times was woeful.

[Piqué]

Just a shame he isn't a bit quicker, would have torn their full back to pieces if he had that little extra burst. Had to keep cutting inside instead.

I hate to be negative after such a great team performance. The fighting spirit was there to see. However, I have to agree that Spoony was our weak link today. I couldn't see how good his pass was from where I was sitting.

[J-C]

Looked better than has been for a while but still gets caught too often in possession, bullied off the ball, painfully slow at times and passing/crossing poor, better but still needs to improve a lot.

Goodbye.........he is the weakest link!

Yes - good pass, but poor crosses throughout, poor pass at the end when we had a chance to hit on the break, cuts back when there is no need to!! Sorry, not good enough, weakest link, has to go.

I am usually very supportive of him, but he is not good enough.
