Big Doidge

***lucky*** · 18-08-2019 09:22 AM

He finished well and won a few headers. He does seem to lack pace or a real presence. Maybe today’s small crowd was less intimidating for him. Hopefully he’ll get some confidence from the goal and start contributing a bit more.

I don't think he is but if he is intimidated by crowd we are in real trouble However he might be okay next season though

Seriously he took his goal very well.

Fantastic run, control and finish yesterday. Hope it gives him a boost.

As I was leaving the ground on Saturday I heard two fans discussing The players transfer fee and his contribution to the game. One turned to the other and said
How much was that Doidgee in the window?

Just making stuff up about him now, I don't think we have signed a player recently that people are so keen to see fail miserably and leave.

The more folk post stuff like him being afraid of crowds or some nonsense the more folk will believe it and keep repeating it, nothing good has or will come from this thread.

Think he is rapidly becoming a cult figure at Hibs.

It's not as good as that lol....

I like him. Thought he looked clumsy as hell at first and he probably is, but he also reminds me (in a good way) of Colin Nish. Wins the ball, makes a good flick on or pass, will chip in with a few goals in the season but will help those around him score more. Some people will see him as absolutely humpty because he looks clumsy but actually offers the team a lot.

I can't say I've been impressed by his all-round play and he actually looks like he's trying too hard to me.

On the other hand he's shown decent turn of pace and cracking composure for his 2 very well taken goals so far.

His body language doesn't look all that comfortable to me yet - hopefully he settles down soon and keeps the goals going in.

***BILLYHIBS*** · 20-08-2019 01:12 PM

Hopefully going to be a big hero for us but then again Big Dave was a cult hero or was he just Slivkas mate just like Hurtado the Tank was for Ulysses De La Cruz?

Would be good aspart of 2 upfront if only Heckinbottom had the brains to see it

No manager with any brains is playing 2 strikers anymore unless its 352 and our record with that last season was horrendous.

**hibbydad** · 20-08-2019 01:34 PM

Well we don't have the right players to play 1 upfront. Most of the Hibs supporters I talk to want 2

Why don't we have the players to play one? Also where does Scott Allan, our best player, play in a 2 striker formation that isn't 352?

There's a reason that 99% of them are supporters and not coaches.

Well if he "chips in with a few goals like Colin Nish" he'll do ok as Nish is one of the all time high goal scorers in the SPL.

2 up front is piss easy to defend against thats why not many teams play it anymore. Better with 1 and 2 dropping into the holes making a 3. Keeps the defenders guessing.

Thought that was a decent interview. I’m desperate for him to succeed and clamp a few folk that have already written him in the process.

His reaction to Kamberi scoring the fourth on Sat and Allan against St.Mirren is fantastic too see ✅

**Unseen work** · 21-08-2019 09:44 AM

Took his goal brilliantly, superb touch and great awareness, composure and quality to execute the finish.

He wins a lot in the air and seems good at holding it up, hopefully he starts banging them in now he has his first.

Was great seeing his reaction to the 4th and 5th goal at the weekend, clearly means a lot.
