Jason Cummings

[Unseen work]

Anyone who watched the under 20s able to shed some light on him? Seems to be scoring a lot at that level and seems to have moved ahead of Caldwell who wasn't in the team for first team and under 20s this week?

I've seen him in a couple of games. Seems small (ish) but has a good touch, work rate and is quite tricky. All left foot from what I can remember.

Sounds like a young Pedantic. Except I'm 6'4, have zero work rate, have lost all my tricks and am two-footed. Actually we're nothing like each other. Barry!

Can't kick with either foot?

How very dare you. I wasn't the "Leith Laudrup" for nothing :fenlon:

My team mate played against him last year when he was at hutchie, and he said Jason will become a first team player, he's that good.

Was scoring more than 2 goals a game at hutchie aswell I believe.

Maybe we should sell East Mains and pitch up at Fords Road.

I've seen him in most of the SPFL under 20's home games, and I like what I see. Great touch and finisher, and a work rate to match. Definitely for a chance of making it at 1st team level

[HTD1875]

Played against him last season and he was fast tricky with a great first touch, finishing wasn't great but suppose he'll be working on that at the HTC with help of the first team players and good coaches. Scored hundreds of goals in the 2nd division but was still a class above when playing against teams from the 1st division.

From what you've seen do you think he is better than Caldwell?

[SaulGoodman]

Hope he gets a chance soon.

It's hard to say, not really the same sort of player. I like Caldwell, he just needs to knuckle down and work hard

To be honest I don't think Caldwell looks that good. Thought that from day 1 that he didn't look like he had it, but giving him the benefit of the doubt as he is still very young. Not that convinced with Handling either but same with Ross need more of a chance as still young.

Harris I think looks a player, the other 2 I will hope to be convinced.

You don't rate Handling? Find that staggering!
Talented player who will definitely make it at Hibs

To be honest, back in the day it was almost considered a Hibs academy - Hibs, Dundee and Hearts were the three clubs most of my Hutchie teammates went to to train - mostly Hibs.

Still recall those cold November nights having to take turns going into the river to get the balls - clearly it was my shooting skills that made them end up there

I'm not so sure. Hope I'm proven wrong of course, but I don't think handling or Caldwell will make it with us.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Putting my neck on the line here, I don't think Caldwell or Handling will make it. Higher hopes for Handling but if have a feeling it's all going to go horribly Kurtis Byrne for they two.

I think both will make it PH but maybe not at the pace they want it to happen. I'm concerned for Handling as I think he is a cracking player being asked to play a position in a pro team he isn't used to. As a striker he is top notch, but for me, never a midfielder or wide player.

Ross is a bit like Kris Boyd - same level of impact when Boyd was that age. He will look a bit disjointed at times, a bit 'disinterested' on occasion, but he does have a high work rate and he'll be a striker that has a stinker for 85 minutes but then be in the right place at the right time to score a cracker or an important goal.

Ross has to watch his social media use though - this week and pre-derby he didn't do himself favours (although for me he should have played in the derby due to the record he has, the fact he scored the winner there months before, and psycholigically it would have been on Hearts defenders minds).

I don't see what's so staggering about it to be honest, what's he actually done so far that would have me thinking any different compared to say Harris?

Don't get me wrong I'm not writing him off just not seen enough to convince me, same with Ross and tend to agree with Pedantics comments

Personally think Danny definitely will. Is very good on the ball beating players or linking up play/playing intelligent passes. Just before his injury he was one of our best players. Hopefully he bulks up a wee bit tho. Also want him to be given a chance up top

Where about is he going to get in to the team? And ahead of who?

He's 19 years if age with around 20 appearances for Hibs, mostly from the bench or out of position. I think Handling is and will be quality for Hibs. Not the quickest, but good control and a great football brain. In the last game he played for us at ER before he was injured, I thought he was the only footballer in our team

I think that's part of the problem me may have is lack of pace, modern game now is general about players that are quick, Forrest, mac-Stevens etc

[HappyHibby93]

Like both Handling and Caldwell, however I wouldn't say they're dead certs to make at ER. when you compare them to the start Harris has made to first team football, I wouldn't say they are of the same quality, at the moment! Not to say that they won't I very much hope they do! Just to add, think Caldwell would be a crackin' poacher!

[Jack]

In the cut and thrust of professional football I suppose these young laddies will have seen colleagues dissappear on a regular basis but I hope none of them are reading this.

It seems a bit early in these kids development to be subjected to the ferocity of a dotnet inquisition!

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

I remember Fletcher was playing out on the wing/midfield when he broke through. Perhaps it's a tried and tested method of blooding young strikers.

[MrRobot]

I don't think Handling will make it.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Is Jason not listed as a member of the first team on the official website?

With the training centre / academy our young players are perhaps more heavily scrutinised than before.
I don't know if that's a good thing or not time will tell.

Arsen Wenger like to play his strikers out wide for a while, says they gain a lot more experience than just being an out and out striker, the modern game means that as a forward, you need to be able to slot in to any forward position when needed.

Exactly, unbelievable how much importance people put on making sure their negative opinions are put about. Especially on the subject of youngsters breaking through, who should be given every encouragement.
