Time to step up to the plate laddie. Three games to make your mark. I'm looking forward to see what he brings.

If he gets a game. 2-0 up against Dimbarton at home on sat and Lennon still did not trust him.

I'm lost as to why he continues to play Bartley and leave the energy of Martin on the bench. Real shame as i think he would be dynamite in this league.

Martin and Crane were both standing ready to come on at 90 mins but the ball didn't go out of play during injury time so lost out.

We keep hearing that things are changing and the intention is to give youth a chance. Sadly there's precious little evidence of this in practice.

We're winning the majority of our games...

Have I missed something? Why would Scott Martin be "in" specifically for 3 games as opposed to 1 or the rest of the season?

McGeouch injured again apparently. Three games takes us up to the window.

FFS. I had missed that little gem. That makes sense in that case. As long as Fyvie and McGinn remain out, I don't see what alternative we have between now and Jan.

They have to be better than the players in front of them though. I'm sure the coaching staff will have a reasonable view if Bartley or Martin has been the better option so far.

Is McGeouch on a big wage? IMO it's time to move him on and invest his wage in someone who can play a majority of a season. Probably in the summer as we are short at the moment and give him the second half of the season as one last chance to prove he can get over his injuries.

A shame as a cracking player, but we don't get anywhere near enough playing time out of him. He is also part of the general midfield problem in that when he does play he rarely scores. Although he is more creative than the likes of Bartley and Fyvie IMO, so mainly down to the lack of games we get out of him as to why I'd personally move him on ahead of others.

Although it's still disappoint not to see any of the youngsters for 5 or 10 minutes here and there when a game is won. Particularly with so many bodies injured.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 13-12-2016 09:08 AM

You just cant move a player on when you want, both parties need to agree then you need someone who wants the player.

I cant remember who was injured or on the bench in the first game of the season at Falkirk, but Martin played reasonably well that day.

He did not look out of place, and i'm surprised he's not been given more minutes on the pitch either as a starter or a sub?

What has this got to do with giving these guys game time, surely that's when they should be brought on with 20 mins to go to get the experience.

Certainly thought at least one of them should have come on Saturday and IMO pointless even if they did get on for 2 mins. Why not given them 10 and see how it goes?

Lennon had a wee go at him in the post match interview, saying that he did ok but he wasn't disciplined enough when it came to sticking to his man.

I never knew that, and to be fair to Martin i thought he did well that day in what is a tough away game.

Not sure how he will learn from those mistakes if he does not get some time playing in the first team, i'm pretty sure he could have come on a few times when we've been well in front for the last 10-15 minutes.

I said this a while back. McGeough is a waste because he hardly plays. But lots on here think he's the best player at Hibs and it's better we have a good bit part player than not at all. For me being the best player in stand is no use to Hibs. I doubt we can move on in January but unless he proves his fitness in the run up to May then I'd get rid of him.

The only way you'll learn is by playing, 10-15 here and there would do him and crane the world of good, if he's going to ignore these laddies, then get them loaned out to gain experience.

Pulling on his left sock this time. Crazy bad luck.

I didn't get why Martin wasn't given a chance against Dumbarton, I would have thought that was a game for him rather than Bartley ... I understand why NL is going for experience as much as he can, but in our current situation surely its worth giving Martin a go in games where we don't need 6 defensive players on the park, why we did against Dumbarton is mystifying.

I cant believe that McGeouch is injured again ..... like many on here I believe he is right up there with the best players we have, but FFS the guy seems to have been permanently injured for the last 18 months. If there is a long standing underlying problem causing him to have injuries elsewhere, which there seems to be, then perhaps its time to bite the bullet and send him to some genius in Europe or the USA who can sort him out once and for all.

He was ready to come on at the end but I don't think that the ball ever went out of play.

Even if he had got on he wasn't really going to gain or learn anything in 90 seconds on the pitch when we were two nil up.

It's becoming an absolute farce! Can anyone regardless of age name me a player who has played for Hibs and has been so injury prone.

I have no issues in giving both of those lads 10/15 mins (as soon as the second went in). Stripping them in the 90th minute was a joke.
