Liam Craig

[Dinkydoo]

Well done Liam Craig.

Great goal, great performance, happy birthday!! He had a terrible first season and I've been very critical of his performances however, I couldn't be happier for him today.

[cabbageandribs1875]

credit where it's due, and he took that shot superbly

[hibee_girl]

He deserved that goal today

[Pretty Boy]

Passed the ball well, tackled well, played with a good tempo. He's been improving for weeks and if he keeps up performances like today he will win people round.

[Scottie]

Well said pal.
Ive been one of his harshest critics but im glad he's making me eat my words now.

Well done Liam

[HiBremian]

That goal says it all about how his game has come on with Scott A beside him. Telepathic pass over the Hun defence to where Liam was sprinting, taken first time. Sublime

[lucky]

Played very well and scored a cracker

[Baader]

Looking like the player we hoped we'd signed when he first arrived. Rated him at St J but had feared maybe he was too far gone to turn it around for us. Hopefully seeing that as wrong now...

Big testament to the player and to Stubbs.

This 100%

I've always thought if you can't say anything "nice" then don't say anything, for a while I've thought he was a wage thief in terms of Hibs, but I have to say, watching him in a number of games this season he's totally won me around.


GGTTH!

[California-Hibs]

When I was back up home for a game at the start of the season, I couldn't believe how bad certain fans were with Liam Craig in the North stand around me, my dad included! The smallest misplaced pass, a wayward shot, yet whenever he done something good....silence! Barely a whisper of praise!

I stood up for my opinion and choose to praise Craig rather than jump on the negative train, which so many players at Hibs have deciding to jump on to depart the club because of this.

HE'S A GOOD PLAYER! Has many decent attributes and like I said to people around me that day, we'd be left to look stupid if we got rid of him!

What a goal today Liam, outstanding technique! You'll continue to get the fans back on your side with performances like that....they'll have no choice!

Weaker players might well have never recovered from that first season, but he must be mentally strong and had faith in his own ability to turn his fortunes around, and we are now enjoying the qualities that he was brought to Easter Road to show in the first place.

Played very well today.

Yup, agree, I think we are now lucky to have him .... :-)

Yet some posters on this forum said he is gash. Maybe they will cut the guy some slack now? An excellent all round display today from Liam Craig.

It must have been awful trying to play football under Butcher & Malpas. His performances under Stubbs and his coaching team are greatly improved.

[Mr White]

Best hibs goal I've seen at easter road since sparky's against utd 2 years ago. Beautiful :

[Smartie]

Well done Liam, todays was the latest in a series of strong performances over the past 2 months or so.

It's great to see an obviously talented player turn it around without having to leave Easter Road first.

Delighted for him.

Now THIS is a decent post!

[JHFC]

Him getting that ball back to cummings for the first as well 👍 Credit where is due. Hopefully give him the needed confidence to get back to his best.

hopefully he can keep it going and get the last few doubters off his back.

[J-C]

Finally we've got the Liam Craig we signed from St Johnstone, positive and confident, shows what a good manager and good tactics can do to players.

[Bostonhibby]

Well played, credit where its due - maybe we are seeing the difference between how butcher used him and Stubbs is using him?

[Bronson]

His performance and goal in particular was the Liam Craig of old. Delighted for him, happy birthday indeed

[Jonnyboy]

He was outstanding today

To be fair to the punters, they only say what they see.
There's been some poor performances by Craig and others in the past. Okay the support's reaction can sometimes be OTT, but nevertheless understandable.
Liam deserves all his plaudits today - from the same fans, BTW - for a great performance, as does the whole team.

Fair comment.

[Vault Boy]

He's showing everybody just how good he is. He was outstanding.

[SteveHFC]

I take back everything i've said about Craig this season.

[silverhibee]

The ginger lad done well today, keep it up.

[hibsbollah]

Why can't he play like that regularly though? There are 'doubters' because he's had so many poor performances in the recent past. He's barely deserved his place for a lot of his time here. An enigma.
