David Gray

***3pm*** · 10-01-2015 04:31 PM

Huge miss.

2 of the goals conceded in his area. Not a criticism of Booth I hasten to add.

***Heisenberg*** · 10-01-2015 04:32 PM

Booth isn't good enough though. Need cover signed as soon as possible.

***andrew70*** · 10-01-2015 04:32 PM

Boothy done little wrong but we have to sign a right back this week just to give us much needed balance. Also hope Jordon Forster comes back sooner rather than later

**SMAXXA** · 10-01-2015 04:34 PM

Booth was terrible appreciate he's left sided but he was very poor today, couldn't put a decent ball in with either foot. Should have switched him and Lewis.

**~~God Petrie~~** · 10-01-2015 04:35 PM

Booth was awful, to be frank. A great game against hertz but rank today.

**Andy74** · 10-01-2015 04:36 PM

Booth was brutal. Big miss. Right back needed asap

**Tonez** · 10-01-2015 04:52 PM

Hibs are in for a RB from a Spl team. Emergency loan as far as I know. All I can say I'm afraid

Have to disagree. He is constantly out of position...closer to the opposition goal line that our goal line! we basically played with 3 at the back for large parts of the game.

Repeatedly checked back onto his left when a natural right footed full back would have got a cross in or at least pushed past the opposing full back on the outside. This lost us natural width and disrupted our rhythm.

He seemed a yard slow in reacting too, I appreciate he hasn't started a lot of games and is left footed, but he is not the solution at back up right back. Did think swapping him and Lewis around may have been worth a try during the second half.

How far away is Forster from being back? Think he would be better cover right-back.

The 5 yard pass to Dylan all the time for him to whip it, he was brutal and I suspect he will leave this window.

Why would it be an emergency loan when we are within a transfer window?

**marleyhib** · 10-01-2015 05:19 PM

Think we would have won easy with Gray playing today, without him we still should have won.

**The_Exile** · 10-01-2015 05:29 PM

Kept running into trouble instead of taking the easy pass, bit of a liability defending but can see why he was played today, we need to be a bit more dynamic in the final third.

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 10-01-2015 05:35 PM

Would have won that game with DG playing. Huge loss. Should have cruised it anyway. Our back 5 were all shambolic today

**ancient hibee** · 10-01-2015 05:36 PM

Boyle should have played wide right where he looks at home and Booth should have been left to defend-he's far too slow to get back.

Spill the beans mate.
Why emergency loan within a transfer window? Why you afraid ?

Luv these "In the know " people.

To be fair Tonez is normally spot on with his info so I await the outcome of this.

I'd say that Hibs will look to sign a couple of defenders this week. Both right sided hopefully as the side was completely imbalanced today.

That would be my first thought.

May just be a 60 or 93 day loan period that we go for in the knowledge that Gray will be back within that timeframe. Saves someone staying til the end of the season and not getting a game once Gray returns. Also permits us to sign other players on loan rather than using up our quota of loan signings for the matter of a few weeks.

Ok fair enough.

***California-Hibs*** · 11-01-2015 04:10 AM

So when does he go for his op or did he have it already through the week? How longs he out?

**Brooster** · 11-01-2015 08:17 AM

Forster is available for selection now, he was fit enough to play yesterday. David Gray gets his hernia operation tomorrow and is hoping to be back for Arbroath cup tie.

**Big L** · 11-01-2015 06:23 PM

Against herts the back4 in the second half were all left sided thats where Walker scored from , same back 4 sat all left sided, thats where all the trouble came from, Falkirk targeted that wing, we have needed cover at right back since the season started, and we need a keeper!

Walked scored in the first half when Gray was playing.

Thanks for that. I'd play Forster at right back before Booth. Booth's positional sense defensively is awful.
