    McGivern and Craig

    Tin hat on here, there's no doubt both these players were horrendous last season but after hearing Stewart and Williams last night would they be worth keeping for next season?
    They're both still under contract and with a new manager who could inspire them and have their confidence brimming would they blossom???

    Craig perhaps, but I'd chase Mcgivern as I never want to see that guy in a Hibs jersey again.

    Not for me, I'm afraid. Bigger problem though might be getting rid of them so might be stuck with them anyway.

    We know the strength of their character when the chips are down.

    Get rid please.

    We have Craig and Robertson, they could be the best midfielders in the division next season if the midfield is used this time round !.

  10. #9
    No thanks.

    Both were absolutely horrendous over the last 6 months in particular and we need better if we're going to make a serious attempt at getting back up at the first attempt.

    This, especially in McGiverns case.

    Craig could probably get in to double figures from midfield in the Championship. But he was absolutely gutless in the latter part of last season which is hard to forgive.

    As for McGivern, just naw.

    Should we sponsor them to go on Richard Branson's plan to fly to the moon?

    both can beat it

    Nope, both were useless. We need guys who can step up to the plate.

    Craig yes, even if he gets back to his pre Butcher form that should be enough for the Championship - McGivern, absolutley no chance, he is just mince.

    If they end up here for next season I hope they get a chance to make amends for last season. I'd rather they left, but if they are here I think they could be okay if they put the work in and we have an okay man manager.

    I could listen to someone's argument about Liam Craig being kept as a squad player if I was really toiling. Under no circumstances would he be my first choice number 10 or captain.

    As for Ryan McGivern, he can't go quick enough imo. Defensively brutal and his distribtion is nothing short of criminal so a huge NO from me.

    Hamitons first goal should tell you everything you need to know about his game.

    Liam Craig, a world beater when we are two or three up against the likes of Stranraer, but one down to anybody and you would need the Hubble telescope to find him, heart of a slug and same amount of backbone. And as for McGivern, usually the main reason why we go one down to just about anybody ! Two truly awful players symptomatic of why we are in the Championship, hope neither of them are anywhere near this club next season, why on earth will these imposters suddenly manage to raise their standards to mediocre from utter drivel ?

    Not what we need for the campaign ahead IMO. Get the feeling these boys only come out to play when the sun is shining and we are three nil up with 15 minutes to go, and the away team have just gone down to 9 men.

    A midfield in the top flight (or Championship) can't accommodate players who are static, slow and unable to track back - Liam needs to get quicker and stronger if he is to offer us anything, and I really don't see what he will bring to the table if I'm brutally honest. Even with a balance in there, with maybe some braun and some busy players, he doesn't create enough and doesn't shoot enough.

    If someone has the time to coach Ryan how to jump and head a ball, beat a man on his outide, pass to a Hibs player, cross a ball without it looking like a beachball being popped up in the air, and how to play offside properly........then I'd keep him

    Both offer nothing, both can go. Always fancied Callum Booth at left midfield anyway......better balance on the ball, better feet, gets past a player inside and outside when confident.

    I agree about McGivern,I still think Craig should be given another crack, I thought he showed signs early in the season that he can play a bit, he also played alright for St Johnstone, and maybe it won't work and he will start next season like he finished last season and be hopeless and then we can get rid, I think it is worth the punt..
