    Martin Boyle

    Ok, wanted to start a thread about the lad. I started one a few weeks back and highlighted that I felt he should be in the team. Well, I hope today showed why. Now don't get me wrong, he wasn't outstanding or anywhere near Man Of The Match or anything, but when we plays, because of his position and obvious pace attribute, it gives our formation and play a new dimension.

    We look so much more fluid as a team when he plays. He's far from the finished article and yes, is sometimes guilty of missing good chances, but he stretches defenses and opens the park up to allow certain of our other players room to play.

    Again, get him in the team!

    I thought he played very well, a lot of people might have missed the tracking back as well as stretching their defence. It was a big gamble to play so many attacking players today and it paid off

    I like him. He gives us natural width and genuine pace which is something we lack.

    I thought he played very well today, his crossing wasn't great but his tracking back was excellent and there was one 50/50 he won that was not something you'd expect from him.

    Preston was laughing and sneering early in the game, saying, "What's Boyle up to? He doesn't have a clue what to do. He'll be ok on that touch line as Stubbs can talk him through the game but he'll be lost in the second half."

    I'll say it again. It's a scandal that the bbc employ that helmet preston. No way would he be so sneering and dismissive of a player he acts as agent for. Quite the opposite in fact.

    Thought Boyle had a stormer. I believe he's cup tied for next week? He'll be sorely missed with a performance like that today.

    Well done lad

    Thus why two year contract offered as A Stubbs sees him as threat on right

    Ah the fickle football fan, haha, brilliant. I start a thread a few weeks ago wanting him in the team - I get shot down. I start one today on the back of a derby win - everyone agrees.

    Not a dig, but lets just be honest, all us football fans are fickle as!

    You sure? I had visions of him enjoying the big park at Hampden next week. Be a blow if you are correct and the lad is unavailable.

    Both Boyle and Keith Watson are cup tied next week.

    He impressed me today, coped really well at RWB and worked hard for the team. His final ball needs work, but I think that might well improve at his age. If we can bring in better, then we should go for it, but that applies to every player, so I certainly wouldn't mind seeing if he could offer something next year.

    I think it's important to understand that with Montrose, Boyle was a striker. Since joining us, he's mostly been used as a winger in a 442 formation. The fact that he performed so well today in a 352 set up, tells me he's hungry to do well and he certainly didn't let himself, or us, down
    This is how it feels

    It's absurd that a player can be cup-tied in the post Bosman and transfer window days. I would imagine that a legal challenge would see that particular rule dropped....

    Thought Boyle played very well. Just wish he had a bit better end product as some of his crosses were poor. Worked hard though and deserves the praise

  20. #19
    He ran hard which is the least you should expect but his use of the ball when he had chances to cross was very poor.He fitted into the set up but there's no chance he would be in the team if Gray and Robertson were fit.He tries hard but with very little end product that's about it.

    I was always a bit worried that he was behind his man in the second half. Nothing happened though. His attacking in the first half was good..

    He was excellent today. Best game since he came to Hibs. Well done 👍

    Top notch. Would like to see him go past players more often, just a punt and rush. But more tweets like that and he can do whatever he wants.

    Was it 352 today?! I thought it was a flat back 4!

    The best part of the jambo replies go along the lines of "at least he's won the championship "

    Not realising Boyle has been there done that with Dundee last season : brilliant stuff 👍
