Thought the big guy deserved a thread of his own today.
Not the greatest footballer we’ve ever had but to me he is an absolute Hibs hero of this generation.
Today after all that had happened over the last couple of days we needed leaders on the park to stand up to the test and drag us through this period and he did that outstandingly well. He just seems to get Hibs and all that it means to so many people.
He won’t be able to play on forever but I hope whoever replaces Lennon recognises his importance to the club and gives him a new deal.
Love the guy.

Thought the same myself. Put himself in where it hurts for the benefit of the team. Deserves another 1 year deal

Absolutely adore Marv. Thought he was poor in the first half today, mind you.
Would definitely always be a starter for me at the moment though.

Rate him highly. Random Spurs fan I was sitting next to watching the game thought Marvin was our best player.

Thought he was excellent yet again. Out of the current midfielders in our squad , he is easily the 1st pick for defensive midfielder. Gauld , slivka in front of him with mallan (unless we get allan in early) playing in the hole...

Love the big man. Never less than 100% and is a better footballer than he gets credit for. The challenge in the second half in the middle of the six yard box as the saints player was about to pull the trigger was amazing. Should be offered another year at least

I love Marvin. The best player in his role I've ever seen at the club. Really hope we see him sign a new deal, he's clearly still very fit.

The idea, sometimes espoused on here, that he's not good enough and not a type of player we need is laughable IMO.
Needs a McGeouch type next to him to be the one taking the ball off the back 4, but otherwise indispensable.

Marvin is genuinely one of my favourite ever Hibs players.

When the chips are down first name on the team sheet for me unfortunately for him (The Bartman) the last name on the team sheet for Lenny
Gonna miss those random off the wall team selections and formations that make no sense at all to anyone and leave us all guessing how Lenny is going to correct his clear and obvious error long after the match has actually started .......NOT!!
It was obvious to everyone watching the game today how much our club means to Marv due to the fact that he was prepared to put his body on the line for the cause especially in the second half on more than one occasion
LEGEND!!

I can't love the guy enough, he really has been the best defensive midfielder in my 30 years following Hibs, always gives his all.

Finished the game with half the pitch on his strip from all his scapes and tackles. Proper warrior.
Go on The Bartman.

Will go against the grain and say that, as much as I’ve liked him in his time at Hibs, I don’t particularly want to see him on the pitch for us next season.
Between now and the end of the season he probably has a part to play, based on what we have. But to get back towards what we saw last year, as opposed to what we are seeing this year, we need better in there IMO.

As I say, I think he probably has a role to play between now and the summer, but we need better beyond that.

I still think he’s a good player to have around the squad, even if he’s not playing every week.

I’d take him out the team for our next game at tinycastle tho.
or is that what our old “best ever manager” would do.
fWIW I thinK Marv is brilliant.
