    Liam Craig

    Sounds like he's had another good game today. Do people think he's done enough to get a new contract?

    A month ago I thought no chance, I'm probably still leaning towards I hope not but it's great he's giving Stubbs a decision to make.

    There's a lot to be said for continuity so I wouldn't be too upset if he was to get a new deal.

    Hes played well last couple of games and was all over the park today. He's shown up well in big games this season I think its possible he gets a new deal

    Craig Is a good professional.

    Determined to get us back up, you can tell with his celebrations.

    Falkirk have been in touch, I'd offer him a year but he would get another club no bother

    Was very good today, happily keep him.

    Held the midfield together today. I think he and Allan compliment themselves now. Allan gets a free roam with the ball whilst Craig does too he is there to tidy up.

    He was man of the match by a mile for me today.
    I'll trust our managers judgement on whether he gets a new contract or not.
    Every gimmick hungry yob,
    Digging gold from rock and roll
    Grabs the mic to tell us,
    He'll die before he's sold.

    You can still have an opinion though! ;-)

    I trust Stubbs but I still think I'd like better than Craig, especially if we go up.

    Had couple of idiots behind me who thought otherwise and were criticising everything he did! However they didnt seem to have same comments when allan lost ball cheaply!

    was grateful of the older chap in front of me who told them to shut up!

    I thought he was cool and calm and exactly what we need in the playoffs.

    Pathetic from these type of fans. Some of the shouts I hear in the East stand at times make me wonder if they know anything about football

    He was my MOM today. Worked his arse off and led by example. I would give him another deal

    We seem way more balanced with him in the midfield. Played well again today.

    I think Liam will get offers to play in the Premier League if we decide not to offer him a deal.

  15. #14
    He's been superb the last 2 weeks.

    He looks like he's playing with a bit more freedom and that's helped his game massively.

    Not so sure about man of the match but he played well again. MOTM has been strange for me this season, always ask the laddie after the game who his MOTM was and we both struggle sometimes, and I think that shows it has been a real team effort all season. Obviously Allan stands out but equally so do a lot of the others. I'm struggling to think who my MOTM was today - all played well.

    I like Liam Craig and I'm hoping he will be staying. I hope the vast majority of the current squad is still here next season with a couple more additions so we can see how they will do in the top league.

    Glad he's proving the majority of us wrong. I'll admit there was games where I questioned his role within the squad but if he's putting in the performances when being called upon, good on him and credit to him for being so professional!

    Let me think about it!!!

    Played poorly last season in the Premier League and went missing when we needed him. Played well in his last three games (out of 36) in the Championship when we have been the dominant team.

    No! Not for me!

    Glad you are not a manager of a football team if you judge a player by the last 3 games and the whole season before (half of that season we never used a midfield)

    I said last week he gives Allan the freedom and space to play his natural game

    Well played today Liam.

    Say what you like about Liam, he has been dignified throughout what must have been a frustrating time for him . Even though he has been left on the bench for long spells he has always been supportive of the manager and team and continued to fulfil his duties as club captain in the proper manner. I've not been his greatest fan at times but he has been excellent in the last couple of games.

    Played well today. I think being ex Falkirk made him that bit more aggressive. Won challenges and kept it simple.
    Needs to cut out the arguing with the ref though.
    I did like it when he had a go at malonga when he got booked. Looked as if he made it clear not to do that again.

    I don't think he's ever went missing.

    Ive been one of Liam Craigs biggest critics but today his 2nd half performance was his best in a Hibs jersey by a country mile.

    Played like a captain.

    Would still play McGeough or Fyvie in front of him tho.

    Totally bizarre post! Prey tell which games you are basing your opinion on.

    Dont mind him having a go at the ref. We missed it in the recent huns game.

    With the fight and urgency he brings provides a good balance to the midfield.

    Different types of players altogether and for a start I doubt if either of them will be with us next season regardless of which league we play in.

    His attitude is fantastic - he was the first one on the pitch at the end of the derby to jump on Farid and salute the fans. It must be really frustrating for him sitting it out for long periods when he can be an integral part of this team. With Fyvie, McGeoch and Allan we lack a natural balance and that's what he's bringing to the team with good solid performances. We do have more fight in the middle of the park when he's there and we'll need it in the play offs, irrespective of who we face. It's a nice problem for a manger to have but whether he's in the first 11 or not I'll be happy if we get him signed up again.

    Not sure if he would want to stay? For me at least, I think any offer to Craig would be dependant on who else leaves.
