    Would you say McPake, Williams, Rob Jones...who else?

    As John McEnroe used to famously say..."you cannot be serious man".

    I honestly cannot think of a single one. Hibs have had no leadership, on or off the park, for years. Some of the most disgraceful results in the club's long and proud history have happened during this fairly recent period. We all know what games in particular I'm referring to.

    No, we don't have any.

    Gray...eh... I think Forster will be one in a few years...El Alagui seems to have an aura about him when he's on the pitch and I think Stanton has the potential to be one if he gets to assert himself in the middle of the pitch alongside a CM who'll show him he ropes (we're yet to sign such a player - Scott Brown would be ideal). That's it. Gray is the only one I could call a leader at this present time (and he's not even in the middle of the pitch..)

    Unless Stubbs fancies lacing up his boots for one last Hurrah, the answer is patently none.

    I think a leader on the park can take 2 forms either (a) setting an example through skill and application and/or (b) through personality and drive. Unfortunately, perhaps Gray aside, I can't think of anyone fit to play who would fall into one of those categories let alone both!

    We don't have anyone who can grab the team by the scruff of the neck and drag them through a battle. A soft centre all the way from the front to the back.

    Its clear we have some players who are more skillful than most of the teams in this league, but apart from a couple i'd say we don't have the desire of the other teams, or the will to win.

    I agree with this.

    Gray possible right now - Stevenson works hard but not sure if he can be considered captain material.

    When scouting new players this is one of the first areas I would have looked at.

    Nelson while tough and possibly a leader - was let down by lack of quality he possessed - though seemed quite professional.

    I can do 3 if easier?

    Seems most are struggling to name any.

    Plus - Fontaine could be added to list - why has he hardly played since arriving?

    Leadership, pace and an ability to grind out a result when the going gets tough are the three main things that have been missing from our team for years.

    I was actually quite chuffed with the victories against Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath because I thought that these results demonstrated the third quality.

    But watching these totally abject defeats away from home really shows up the lack of leadership imo. Who can we count on to rally the troops, to get stuck in and lead by example? None of them. Lewis is probably the closest for me but he still seems to be a bit of a quiet "nice boy". And I've not been that impressed by Gray for weeks now.
