Murray 3... whaaaaat?? Should have scored I know but did lots of good stuff tonight.

I thought Boyle was our poorest player. Slivka very good tonight.

I thought Boyle started well but then completely fell out of the game and was ineffectual.

Murray was dire tonight IMO. Hardly involved and when he was his touch was poor. He finally made a good run and then ended up missing a sitter.

Agree, Murray was very poor. I actually thought McGinn was ineffectual as well, surprised he got MOTM. The back four all played well, Ambrose recovered from his Derby nightmare.

I agree with the comments re Boyle who didn't have one of his better games but Murray put in a shift of work-rate and on another game would have scored at least one. Bit harsh for me but its all each to their own opinions I suppose.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

[FifeHibs]

I don't think Murray put in the same work rate as he did earlier on in the season. Boyle has been poor for a few weeks now.

[Unseen work]

Marciano - 7 - Wasn’t needed much but made a good save

Ambrose - 6 - he’s just quite an odd player isn’t he? Never sure what he will do next
Hanlon - 7 - solid
McGregor - 7 - solid
Stevenson - 6 - ok but some poor delivery

Mcgeocuh - 6 - very quiet tonight
Mcginn - 9 - completely bossed the midfield and seemed to get in the box more
Slivka - 8 - his best performance by far. Had it all tonight - skill, vision and great control. His part in the goal was outstanding. On another night would have 2 assists

Boyle - 6 - got fouled a lot but was relatively quiet
Murray - 7 - actually thought he player really well tonight in terms of hold up play etc. Couple of poor misses
Barker - 6 - very frustrating player at times as you can see what he’s capable of. Needs to improve his finishing.

Swanson - 7 - Not on for long but he showed the undoubted ability he has. I’m a big fan of him and hope he pushes on.

Dundee

Have some very good players and I’m surprised they’re doing so poorly, think they’re similar to us in certain ways as in missing the final edge.

Scott Allan
Glen Kamara
Jack Hendry
Fassal El Bakhouti
Mark Ohara

Are all good players who can influence games by scoring and creating chances and tbh would take them at Hibs.

Scott Allan - absolutely no coincidence as soon as he came on they became on top, couple of fantastic passes and bits of skill to create chances.

[danhibees1875]

I thought we missed Bartley tonight/ a defensive midfield presence. Dundee seemed to find a bit of space behind our middle 3 and focused on this on most of their attacks.
I also thought we looked knackered after 60 minutes and begging for a sub - was surprised it took Lennon 20 minutes from there.

Rocky - 7 done what he had to well and mostly good distribution

Ambrose - 6 sometimes brilliant, but the odd efe moment
McGregor - 7 solid
Hanlon - 8 some player
Stevenson - 7 solid

Mcginn - 7 got kicked within 1 minute and a few more times, got a cheap booking and then got away with a couple after that. Looked tired towards the end.
McGeoch - 7 thought he controlled the game well, a couple of sloppy moments. Also looked tired for the last 20 minutes.
Slivka - 8 a good performance with some neat touches and passes.

Barker - 7 I'm a big fan, he can carry the ball half the park but needs to work on his shooting.
Boyle - 7 started brightly but didn't make much happen.
Murray - 7 had some chances that he should have done better with. One instance where a Dundee player had a tricky clearance to make and Murray needlessly fouls him sticks out.

Swanson - great contribution for the time he had on the pitch
McLaren - worked hard for what little time he had
Shaw - no time but good positioning for his chance.

Lennon - thought he was a bit slow to make changes when we looked to have a lot of tired players and needed freshened up. Also thought we looked a bit weak in defensive mid, but not sure what the solution would have been and we got the benefits of forward thinking midfielders which we've been calling out for.
But they're just little criticisms alongside what was a well won 3 points by Lennon and the team.

Ambrose strolled it. At least an 8

[cabbage_88]

Can't believe some of the ratings for Murray! He did miss a sitter but he still put in a really good shift last night, his touch and link up play were a lot better than usual. His corners were 100x more dangerous than any of the other ones we took as well.

Giving him a 3 is embarassing!

[Allant1981]

some strange ratings, ambrose had a good game but some give a 6, and murray was no where near a 3

[jax67]

Great to see Slivka getting good marks.
Good player with two good feet, when played in the middle could do well for us. IMHO.

[SMAXXA]

Think we need to give Murray a bit of slack here. That’s his first competitive start for a wee while isn’t it, it sometimes isn’t easy coming in and look at the lad when he was getting a run of games he was flying. I say stick with him for 3-4 games get him back upto speed

Saying that I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he ended up going to turkey and we cashed in, stranger things have happened.

He’s the next boo boy. Barker had a chance to just roll the ball to Murray and instead smashed it past the post. He also missed another chance. Murray work d hard but it just wasn’t his night.

[overdrive]

The comments about Boyle are interesting. The commentators on the radio had Boyle as our most dangerous player and said he was better than Barker.

[Paloschi]

Marciano 8 - Has the ability to make amazing saves and a deserved clean sheet.

Ambrose 8 - Saved a certain goal, defended well and got forward. His use of the ball in the final third was excellent.
McGregor 6 - Solid at times but not at his best.
Hanlon 7 - Dominant and reads the game so well.
Stevenson 7 - Great engine and touch. Lacks the final ball but few better left backs in Scotland.

McGeouch 7 - Deeper role in the second half and plays better when he is allowed to dictate tempo. Some great balls out to the wingers.
McGinn 8 - Battled, created, drove the team and scored. My MOM.
Slivka 7 - much better. Very accomplished with the ball and ran at Dundee. Better when played in a cm position but able to roam forward.

Boyle 6 - His very presence on the pitch causes havoc with defences. Was quiet tonight but defended well.
Murray 6 - Under pressure but looks better than Shaw as the lone front man. Played a key role at the goal.
Barker 7 - Was our main threat and should have scored two. His pace, skill and determination are evident but his final ball or finish is missing. He is still key for us and is a fine footballer.

Subs: Swanson looked great when he came on. McLaren hardly a sniff and Shaw almost hit a late goal.

Special mention: Scott Allan was by far and away Dundee's best player. His passing and vision caused us problems. He's a great player to watch and plays the beautiful game. He won't be back at Hibs but I always enjoy watching him.

[hibsbollah]

I must be getting grumpy in my old age but I think we need to be aiming higher than last nights performance and some ratings are spectacularly generous. We didn't play any better than Sunday IMO.

Rocky 7

Lewis 7
Hanlon 7
Daz 7
Ambrose 8 MOTM.

Slivka 7
McGinn 6 tired very noticeably after 65
McGeouch 6
Barker 7 great at what he does, shooting practice required.

Murray 4
Boyle 4

I thought both strikers were woeful.

[Peevemor]

Having just seen these highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5f0UVXeDQ it looks to me that Murray's "miss of the century" wasn't as bad as is being made out. By the time he had finshed wrestling with the Dundee defender to get the position at the far post, he didn't leave himself enough time to set himself up to take the ball. I'm not saying he shouldn't have done better, just that he had work to do beforehand.

I'd say:

Rocky - 7

Efe - 6
Daz - 7
Hanlon - 7
Stevenson - 7

McGeough - 7
McGinn - 7
Slivka - 9

Boyle - 7
Murray - 5
Barker - 7

Thought everyone was good enough with Slivka being the stand out. Swanson done very well off the bench, Shaw got a decent shot away but didn't do much else in the limited time he had and didn't see enough of Maclaren although he made a good run to open up the space for Swansons shot. A deserved win.

The problem is with Murray that for the last few months what you've said could probably describe him. Worked hard but wasn't his day etc. He's been a half decent singing but IMO he's a squad player.

That's the wrong chance. It's towards the end of the highlights when set up by swanson.

I see that now (I'm at work so I'm watching on the sly).

Yeah - he should have made contact if nothing else.

When he first arrived it seemed he was scoring for fun. Now he can't buy a goal.
Odd.

Some people keep mentioning Stevenson's lack of a final ball .Watching last night's game I thought he crossed over a few great balls but there was no one bursting a gut to get in the box.Not criticising just an observation

Yes he did,you're right. He played well.

[KWJ]

Hanlon was fantastic last night. Scouts up to see Hendry and McGinn will have been writing about Paul. 9 or 10/10 from me. Won everything and didnt give it away.

I was critical of barker on his thread but he does give Stevenson a bit more freedom.
