Hibs v Killie - who was your MOTM?

[theonlywayisup]

There is probably one clear winner, but him aside I thought Williams (their goal aside), Claros and Doyle had good games too.

Definitely Claros for me. Started another thread about him but he was excellent in midfield today. Close control, passing, tackling, effort. It was all there today.

[Piqué]

Griffiths for me with Cairney a close second.

Would not disagree with any of that. He was good, very good. I like the bit when he lost possession near their box, but then chased the player for quite a distance then won the ball back. Take a bow son!

[hibee_girl]

Has to be Griffiths for his goals but Cairney also deserved it

I'll second that , hope sparky's injury isn't too severe though,

[patch1875]

It's great to have a midfield that doesn't get bossed around anymore

[martin63]

For me the hardest one to call so far this season. I gave it to cairney but a close call between him claros and clancy. Surprised clancy has no votes as I thought he done a terrific job of covering mc pake who was never at the races today

[thebakerboy]

Voted for Claros because he made it all look so easy but he covered miles of the park tackled well and passed well , closely followed by Sparky for the goals (years since I saw a goal from a corner) and Paul Cairney was very good as well.

[erin go bragh]

Claros for me ,just ahead of Griffiths and Cairney .

[shetlandhibee]

I don't think Doyle or wotherspoon get enough credit. Whole team looks very stable, solid & when needed to be very creative

Keep it guys GGTTH

[HibeeN]

Cairney for me. Faded a bit in the second half but thought he was excellent in the first in terms of pushing forward and getting into attacking positions. Fought hard, made some good passes, won a penalty. Hope he keeps up the excellent work.

[whiskyhibby]

Claros, had a great game today and saved the 3 points for us at the end with an immense brave block

[saltandsauce]

For me it was hanlon

Me too.

So far this season he's looked like a very, very important part of the team. Second name on the teamsheet IMO.

[Makaveli]

Hanlon was superb again. Cairney used the ball well as did Doyle, and Claros seems to be improving by the game.

I understand Griffiths getting it but personally can't look past Hanlon.

[bingo70]

He probably wasn't man of the match but i picked Clancy as i thought he deserved a mention. Been a bit unsure of him since he joined but i thought defensively he was really good today.

[lucky]

Claros had his best game for Hibs so I gave it to him

[twiceinathens]

Imagine having to pick from a number of sound performances rather than picking the best of the worst

[Deek01]

Thought Clancy didn't put a foot wrong the whole game, very consistent performer !

[gegs70]

I thought williams did well. Best game ive seen claros have, he misplaced a pass then sprinted back to put in a good tackle. Griffiths up front worked hard certainly our best forward so wouldnt argue with any of the 3.

Changed days at Easter Road - for too long there hasn't been much of a debate about MoM awards, mainly because most/if not all were total garbage week in week out. Today however, at least 4 players could have been awarded it without much of an argument. Thought Claros, Griffith, Hanlon and Clancy were all outstanding, each putting in a performance worthy of the award. Me? I voted Claros who IMO just shaded it for his workrate.

and what about Williams saves just after we had scored. They were fantastic saves.

Clancy could have been a contender for man of the match if he hadn't been beaten soundly by their winger twice in about five minutes in the second half putting us in trouble. That aside he's had a very solid start at ER

[down-the-slope]

Hanlon - didn't get anything wrong and bailed McPake (who was by his standards a wee bit off form - counted 6 occasions when he was caught under the ball, 3 leading to chances that Hanlon covered) out a number of times. Also his distribution was good (which is one area that has sometimes been less so)

Claros / Sparky / Clancy / Cairney in that order were all well above average. Doyle worked his socks off and won far more headers than he has in past - he is combining well and when he gets a couple of goals we will see him on a run.

Its good that with McPake / Deegan and Spoony a wee bit below par we can still show enough through teamwork to get a result

[theonlywayisup]

I am surprised that no-one has voted for Doyle. I thought he had a good game. His run near the end would have been goal of the season if he could have bent it round the goalie instead of shooting straight at him.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Claros, by a distance. Tim Clancy though is shaping up as a Paul Fenwick or Gary Smith type of signing. Initiial reaction of WTF is receding with every game.

[sbell1875]

I went for Hanlon. I can't recall a single error and some of his long passes were exceptional. I've always felt he had the potential and I think having McPake there has really improved his self confidence.

Without a doubt a future captain of Hibernian FC if we can keep a hold of him.

Claros definitely deserves a mention though as he was solid. I recall one moment he lost the ball and chased easily 30-40 yards and put in an excellent challenge to win the ball back. I hope we can keep a hold of him come January.

I went for Sparky, but - totally agree - thought Clancy had a great game today
