Really think this is a big season for this lad and feel giving the chance to play as striker under stubbs he can do a good job for us in this division

I think he's been utter gash whenever I've seen him but we're at a lower level now so might be his chance to build some confidence and make it with us. Wouldn't like to be relying on him though.

Really don't think he's good enough even at championship level.

I feel with a bit of persistance he may be able to play wide right mid.

Can't understand people slating Danny Handling. He has been playing in a horrendous Hibs team that has only been capable of utilising hoofball tactics. When he has been in possession of the ball he has looked composed, looks for a pass, very promising player for us. He certainly strengthened up since Christmas as well.

Needs to get his attitude and lifestyle sorted out sharpish if he's to make an impact at Hibs.

All he ever did was control the ball and pass it back 10 yards, never looked any sort of a threat.
As you say though maybe that's because of how we played.

He's got a chance to prove himself, but again, he needs the right type of football being played and the right role models around him like all young players do.
There was a threat comparing the developments of both Sterling and Harris a few weeks ago. Sterling is playing alongside Suarez, Gerrard, Sturridge - Alex Harris and Co have been playing alongside Rowan Vine, Ryan McGivern, Tim Clancy and a larger smattering of tubes in their careers so far.
I hope a big part of the development of youngsters is getting in experienced players of good quality who look after themselves, work hard in training and can pass on their wisdom and show them how to have a long career in football. A lot of our young players seem more preoccupied on getting up to George St than getting up to the Premiership.

I feel Handling has a place in the side for next season. Certainly don't understand all the abuse he gets on here. He has probably the best touch of any hibs player we have at the moment, and he seems to have a good understanding with Jason Cummings. Has good vision as well, gave a great pass in the Ross County game if I remember correctly.
Let's not forget he was often played out of position, and whilst he didn't shine he never looked out of his depth at SPL level. I think he'll do a good job for us this season. This talk of too slight is nonsense too. Apparently everybody on here want skillful players capable of playing a quick game on the deck, but when we have a young lad capable of doing that he's slated as not being big enough.
All the young lads are worthy of another chance this year. Especially Harris, who has shown sparks of brilliance and then came back bereft of confidence after injury, and Handling, who never had a proper run in the side in his proper position. You never know what they might be capable of when playing with a bit of confidence. If anything, Stubbs will definitely know how to get the best out of a group of youngsters.

My own judgement is that he will struggle to make an impact going by last season, however go on Danny prove me wrong and light up Easter Road.

Would love for Danny to come in and become a smashing player, personally I see him scraping about the Juniors in a couple of years.
The problem a lot of laddies have when they break through into a top domestic team is that they think they've made it. Hibs should be a stepping stone for these laddies, with the greatest respect to teams like us, who wants to be challenging for Scottish honours for the rest of their career? Surely your goal should be moving abroad to a top league and fighting your way into a properly elite team? Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, even the Premiership? To reach the Hibs first team and then stop progressing, it gets on my chebs, I mean, what's the point in settling for that?

I remember us having a sequence of games under Fenlon at the start of last season where we were absolutely pitiful and barely created a chance.
He got into the team for a few weeks and I thought he did stand out. He seemed to be the only player that could play with his back to goal (in midfield), take the ball to feet, turn and go. He was the only one that could punctuate the sideways pass/hoof cycle.
For that I had a wee bit of respect for him. He seemed to come into the side from time to time under Butcher too, do ok, then get binned. Never really got a run of games so hard to say if he's good or not but if he couldn't break into that team then you'd have to assume "not".
Clean slate for me, but he isn't going to get forever to show he's a good player. It's now or never for him.

See where the OP is coming from but in all honesty this could be the biggest season for any Hibs player under the age of 22 .
These lads have got a golden opporchancity to impress/make their mark/improve or they can "ship out"
If they can't make it at this level " ba's on the slates"
Good luck to them all and think we might just see one or two surprises amongst these lads along the way

Agree it's an oppertunity for some of the young players but we saw the pressure they were under in the bottom six T B put too Mutch pressure on them to get us out of trouble and they didn't get enough support from some of the Seniorplayers that are still at the club so Stubbs has to build back up the young players confidence but bring in the right players to help them .
As for Handling I personally haven't seen enough from him to suggest he will be a big player for us so yes he has one last chance to impress new manager in pre season .and see if he can stake a claim .
