Oxley

**Kaiserclem** · 24-05-2015 05:15 PM

Doesn't look like Mark Oxley has been offered anything from us. Mate of mine went to be shown the houses he is gonna rent shortly and turns out Oxley has been renting it. He was telling my mate that he is moving to Sheffield until his agent sorts him out a club for the upcoming season. Apparently a very likeable fella and has loved Hibs this season.

***Keith_M*** · 24-05-2015 05:16 PM

He was merely a stop gap and I'm hoping we can get better.

**Kaiserclem** · 24-05-2015 05:20 PM

I agree, also think he has settled the second half of the season. Would wish him all the best if we don't offer anything going forward. Cerny deserves a shot.

**GreenArmyyy!** · 24-05-2015 05:31 PM

All the best but we can do better. Still think we should have gone back for Ben Williams. Must of been around October before he got a rolling monthly contract with Bradford.

**~~My_Wife_Camille~~** · 24-05-2015 05:47 PM

Might go on to have a decent career. Was generally poor for us though

Oxley and Williams in the same bracket IMHO. -?we can do better!

Maybe Cerny will get the gig??

***Carheenlea*** · 24-05-2015 05:53 PM

Cerny won't have been brought in just to make up the numbers, and if Alan Stubbs is looking to bring in a better keeper than Mark Oxley, then that can only be a good thing. I think he has improved as the season wore on, and despite some flaws he has been quite a popular player with the fans.

Not for me, Williams IMO was our best keeper since Anderson. Wasn't very difficult mind you.

I've seen Cerny in a few development games and I haven't been overly impressed so far.

It wasn't was it.

Hopefully Stubbs has summit lined up.

Aye? I'll take your word for it as I've not seen him in those games. There were many on here touting him for our number 1 so assumed next season we might see more of him.

Utter nonsense he did very well for Hibs. Good organiser, excellent distribution and solid.

He was bang average for Hibs last season.

**Big_Franck** · 24-05-2015 06:27 PM

Good luck to him wherever he ends up. Stubbs has all summer to find better though, and i'm confident that he will.

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 24-05-2015 06:28 PM

All the best Ox.

Agreed.

I always just assumed all those calling for Cerny to play were basing it on his form 3 years ago as opposed to anything recent.

He's undoubtedly a good keeper but has looked very nervy for the 20s and desperately in need of more game time before playing for the 1st team.

He did an ok job, but not as good as our previous keeper ,how we allowed Butcher to let him go is most odd...To his credit he has made some important saves for Hibs this past season..

Precisely. I'm not sure what people are expecting for a Scottish Championship side with regards to a goalie? Short memories of some absolute horrific goal keepers in recent years tell me Oxely is the best we've had in a long, long time...

Good luck to the chap if he goes. In my book he is very much destined to play at a much higher level. Sadly it doesn't look like it's with us.

Interesting to see the same posters comments next season with our 'new goalie'.

As for Williams, he was miles behind our current keeper for me. Never confident with him, like many others of the recent past.

***bingo70*** · 24-05-2015 06:35 PM

My criticism of Oxley was always that he never seemed to save anything. I admit over the last couple of months he's started to win me round a bit but If he does leave I'll still not be bothered.

Cerny of three years ago would appear to be a good replacement, if those that have seen him recently say otherwise then it's probably best to look elsewhere although maybe with a good pre season he might find his old form again.

Agreed. There's no such thing as the perfect goalkeeper and if there was, he wouldn't be playing for Hibs. Oxley has been a very acceptable keeper and I wish him well for the future.

**Future17** · 24-05-2015 06:36 PM

All the best to him. Seemed like a good guy with a good attitude...also looked like a more natural finisher than Dja Djedje.

***RIP*** · 24-05-2015 06:38 PM

Odd thread. He was good enough to play for us all season and help get us second place.

Now we are telling the guy we can do better. Second tier of Scottish football and we can attract better. No-one is ever good enough for us.

And so the revolving door carries on!!

Agree entirely. Was a good servant to Hibs and wish him all the best. Sure the manager will have some one lined up.

I've not been calling on him to play, but fall into your bracket of one who's opionion of him is based on past form rather than recent. Hopefully he can recapture the firm of old.

That's not true though, plenty in this squad are deemed good enough and popular with the fans.

Oxley isn't anything special, steady enough but nothing to get excited about if he is to leave.

I agree with all of this- Oxley didn't fill me with confidence for a lot of the season but ultimately he never let us down in any way. Seemed like a good bloke too. There are so many good goalies around though that I'm sure we can replace him without too much difficulty.

**Scottie** · 24-05-2015 06:53 PM

If the Ox is to leave all I can do is thank him for his efforts this season.

Good luck to him.

I'm sure he can, he's a very good keeper but he's looked rusty when I've seen him play.

Is he signed up for another year or is his contract up?

Butcher didn't let him go.

Before Butcher arrived he was negotiating a new contract but when Felon left and Steve Marsella arrived with the Butcher that bit the dust.

Williams hated Marsella and then decided he was leaving, house on market, etc.
