Joe Newell

**Zazu62** · 13-07-2019 08:02 PM

I’ve not seen him play, is he a fast winger what’s he like?

***bingo70*** · 13-07-2019 08:03 PM

This could be a long and angry thread 😂

Someone on the terracing today suggested he should piss off back to Love Island

The Super Joe song could make a comeback. So could the f****** Joe comments.

**hibIBZ** · 13-07-2019 08:14 PM

He had a run in the first half where he showed a couple of nice touches, apart from that it was hard to tell of he is good or not as he was never involved. Newel and James didn't seem to link very well but then it is the first time they have played on the same side. Didn't seem to want to get stuck in and looked like he would rather be anywhere else. Poor performance overall for me and rightly hooked

Alan O’Brien with a punctured tyre.

***judas*** · 13-07-2019 08:15 PM

I felt he was the pick of Heck’s signings tbh. He has played in the championship as a regular for the past 3 seasons.

The remaining signings have all been operating at a lower level.

If he’s not cutting it then is surprises me more than it would Heck’s other signings.

Are we sure we can say he is bad after only 1 competitive match?!?!

**SON OF PADDY** · 13-07-2019 08:16 PM

Didn't look at all interested, should have been hooked long before half-time.
If that's ment to be an improvement on the players we already have, God help us.

**MWHIBBIES** · 13-07-2019 08:17 PM

Plays like he won a cereal packet competition to join the club for a week. Just don't see what he offers at all.

I agree with this, just need to find a system that suits Hibs and Joe best

***BILLYHIBS*** · 13-07-2019 08:18 PM

Sounds harsh I know after only 90 minutes but what I seen today it’s a no from me

Couldnae lace Super Joes boots

How bad does Hecky think the standard is in the SPFL Premiership?

***SteveHFC*** · 13-07-2019 08:19 PM

Didn’t impress me today. But willing to give him and the rest of the new boys a chance.

I thought we had signed players to play a specific part in a system Hecky wants us to play?

My worry is that PH doesn't appreciate genuine pace worries teams and if he thinks players like Newell will offer that (or genuine wing play) he's mistaken in Newell - I think he's awful so far.

**SideBurns** · 13-07-2019 08:21 PM

Alan O'Brien's arthritic tortoise, but with less heart.

I don't like writing players off at the first showing, but I'd be amazed if he cuts it in the SPL. Amazed, but delighted.

In the brief time I saw him at Dunfermline I was amazed to see that he just wasn't interested in tracking back. If you're low on confidence (the only excuse I can think of) then at least try to put a shift in.

I’m sure folk can say he was bad in his only competitive match so far

I think the criticism is also there because he was dreadful against Dunfermline last week too.

Think I read a post about him being really bad against Carlisle but I may be getting mixed up there.

Sounds like he needs a wee spell out the firing line, I’d love to say he was possibly trying too hard but I don’t think that’s a criticism that could be labelled at him today.

The Super Joe experience is making a comeback to our screens like Toy Story, what a time to be alive

***wookie70*** · 13-07-2019 09:11 PM

He is going to struggle due to his body language. He simply doesn't look interested. He also plays on the wing so he is at close quarters to the fans and there was one challenge that was a 60-40 in his favour in the first half he bottled out of completely. Fans just don't accept a player who isn't giving it their best. It looks a grim signing at the moment but he is settling into a new home, probably missing mates and working with different colleagues. There have been a few moments in games where he has shown some quality so let's hope he settles and becomes a useful member of the team.

Doidge is getting good reviews from fans simply because of his effort imo. He reminds me of Bryan Graham who was slated on here. Doidge certainly put a shift in but he looks far from clinical and I'm not sure he can play up to on his own. The same applies to him as Newell and he might end of settling and battering goals in for fun. Totally ok to be concerned with Hecks signings but they need a month or two to settle in. Very different moving from the midlands etc to Scotland than coming to us from central Scotland as many of our signings have recently.

Yet P H when he met fans at the Hibs Club said he knew he wanted pace and strength in the team

Unless Newell is just lacking sharpness/fitness, he contains neither of the qualities of pace or strength.

No its not but to your average 20 something English person, Scotland seems like it might be.

I'm sure he had access to Google maps before he signed on the dotted line.

Either he's good enough or he's not. It's far too easy to say IMO but some folk have made their minds up already it seems. Which is great.

It is still a big move. Nowhere near as much as someone from overseas but still worth taking into consideration.The new signings haven't impressed me but I'll give them some time to settle

Absolutely correct moving from Porty to Leith seemed like a big move

Aye but Heck likes to improve players. Signing a slow *****bag gives him something to build on.
