Jason Cummings - Thoughts?

[cjward2]

I was just thinking about the players from our cup winning team and those who have moved on. Some I am not too bothered about (Fyvie, Stokes) and others I miss (Hendo, SJM and Jason Cummings)
I think that Hendo and SJM have moved on to really interesting challenges, but what about the Cumdog? Did he drink from the poisoned chalice? Is he now destined to head the way of some of our other talented players of the past (Deek, Gaz)
What are your thoughts? Is there a way back into the spotlight for Cummings, or is it now a steady downward slope in what could have been a good career, or... is it still too soon to tell. After all what is he 22-23?

He came to mind watching the game tonight. Could he have sneaked one in???
Happy with what we have though...........

[Since90+2]

The forwards were not the issue tonight. We didn't have enough creativity in the middle of the park.

Already played at the highest level he can, as he's really not that good a footballer - no-where near Riordan's talent

[Hi Heid Yin]

I lost track of Jason after his "Hun" sojourn.
Who is he now playing for and is he a starter?

[Unseen work]

Don’t think he would start ahead of Kamberi or MacLaren tbh.

Hope he does well at Peterborough none the less.

[Bostonhibby]

Next door neighbour is a Posh fan - Asked him this morning how Jason did against Bristol Rovers. Said nowhere near match fit, blowing out his.... for most of the second half, too early to judge as apart from one decent pass didn't really show anything but Posh apparently have a better striker out on loan.....

[calumhibee1]

Still love the guy, gave us some great memories. I do however think he'll be back up the road over the next couple of years and it'll probably be to a Dundee or Motherwell as I think we're probably a level above him now.

He's on loan to Peterborough now and yes he started last weekend.

[Nevi_SOL]

Na you’re alright. Better options there would rather have oli

[CMurdoch]

Left Hibs way to early.
Good goal scorer but the rest of his game was nowhere near good enough to make a go of it in the Championship.
Will be back up the road.

[Stevie Reid]

Far too early to write Cummings off. Be interested to see how he gets on at Peterborough.

[murray26]

He’s no coming back but good luck in the future Jason

[BILLYHIBS]

......Next!

Don’t think you’re wrong with this. Lennon clearly saw him as key to getting us up, but reality is he’s actually not that good.

Really? He’s credited with an assist last weekend via SPN? I see it live on the telly. Well the commentery. But a Posh fan knowing nothing about football is not suprising if you’ve ever listened to TalkSport.

[Dashing Bob S]

I think he’s taken over from Riordan as the go-to guy for the ‘anybody think he can still do a job for us’ thread subject.

Giving him an assist for that is generous to say the least.

. Watch this space (for the next twenty years)

[lucky]

The guy scored goals for fun even though he was not the best team player. I hope he gets his career going again as he’s at his third club since he left Hibs and really needs to start performing or he’ll end up like Tony Watt drifting from club to club showing a little but never returning to the standard that made him.

That about sums it up

Cummings was always going to struggle.

He can only play in a front 2 and no clubs that play at a high level play that way.

He has a fantastic left foot and is a cracking finisher but until he learns to hold the ball up and use his right foot, he’s destined to play out his career outside the big leagues and the top clubs

Can see him being at Tynecastle at the start of next season.

[Thecat23]

Jason is a strange one. He’s not one for taking football to seriously and sometimes that’s not a bad thing. But at 22 he really should be kicking on now. His ability to score some outrageous goals proves he can do it. Although talent wise I’m not sure he has much. Likes to cut in edge of the box and let fly.

Still feel he’ll end up back in Scotland with a Killie or St. Johnstone.

[Nameless]

He is a maverick, and clearly knows the way to goal. Everywhere he has been he has scored, so his ability as a finisher is beyond question. Unfortunately, nobody wants an out and out finisher these days - the era of the poacher has passed. He would have flourished had he played in the 80's and 90's, but he doesn't play enough "football" for him to succeed at the higher levels of the modern game. I think League One in England or a mid table team in the Scottish Prem is his future, which ain't bad, as he will still earn more money than practically everyone on this message board.

Just sharing what someone who really does know his football and was there thought. Maybe the assist was what he meant.

Take a wee look at posh forum as well.

Incidentally you'll find no bigger fan of Jason than me but I'm concerned the trajectory he's on might see him spiral downwards further towards gorgie. Posh isn't a step up.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up back at hearts.

I actually think he’s gonna have to drop down further if Peterborough is a failure. Lower SPL (wages, not position, or Hearts would be perfect) or top Championship.

[.Sean.]

Absolute stick on to end up at Hearts. Personally I stopped caring after his embarrassing attempts to fit in at the Huns
