Was listening to Kevin Kyle earlier saying he used to love playing against Hanlon as he’s weak. Stevenson has had a tremendous career and is still a mainstay if there’s an out ball to him, he’s a fine passer of the ball and finds himself in space and good positions defensively, right now he’s being hung out to dry with the midfield ****ting themselves and not having any cover at all from a defensive midfielder or anyone in left midfield that tracks back ever.

How many goals did Kyle score against us?

[Stantons Angel]

i dont know why we are even discussing these two players at all!

As has been said they have played under many managers who had them as first pick for their positions.

They have a good few years left in them yet and will always give 100% in every game they wear that jersey in.

Granted they cant play for ever and no one will know that more than them.

They may not be spectacular players but they are Hibs players and we need every player of their character just now.

there is a fight to be fought and they have the bottle for it, Maybe some of it will rub off on those around them and a wee bit more determination from the midfield would help their confidence too.

At least one I can think off, last minute winner at Tynie, a header at the back post.

Mentioning Kevin Kyle in the same breath as Lewis and Paul is nonsense.

Hate to say it, but he’s had a better career than both of them.

You post some amount of ***** but you’ve outdone yourself here. Let’s take a look at his career.

- Bounced around 13 clubs averaging 24 appearances at each.
- Didn’t play a top flight match after the age of 29.
- Honours:
English Championship 04/05 - he made 6 appearances that season, none after August.
Scottish Third Division 12/13 with Rangers, his contract was ripped up before the end of the season in March 2013

On what basis, honours won, money earned, clubs played for? Interested to hear what he has done.

Lewis isn't but unfortunately Hanlon is finished. He's been poor for about 18 months now and we need better urgently.

Perhaps on a most ferrys worked on basis?

That’s a beauty

[Dashing Bob S]

Not going to go on about legendary status of that back four of Louie, Hanlon, Daz and SDG but they are aging and/or injury prone and will all need replacing soon. Add to that the trumpets signed by Heck and I don’t envy the new manager - that is one big rebuild.

[NC1875]

Lewis and Paul were average players in a good Stubbs side but it worked because the rest of the team, especially the midfield were more than good.

Now they’re in a poor side and are being shown for what they are, average players.

Get good players around them again and a bit protection from midfield and they’ll probably play most weeks.

We’ll never have 11 good players but need a blend of good and average rather than poor and average.

I hope any new manager will be looking at better eventually for both positions though.

Lewis and Paul are immortal, Kyle is a fat ride. Not even close.

[Greenworld]

Louis will be around a bit longer but Paul Hanlon I'm afraid is in an area that is weak .
Top priority is to strengthen through the middle of the team centre back ..
Centre midfield..center forward .

Three players albeit very good ones is what I would through whatever resources we have at .

There are loads of players good ones still not with clubs free agents ...

I think Effe for instance is not with anyone your not going to tell me he wouldn't make a difference

That's a bit of a statement to make!

[DetroitHibs]

Kyle played at a higher level than both Paul and Lewis, also won more Scotland caps than the two combined. Probably earned more than the two combined too.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

We have had several managers bring in competition for Stevenson yet nobody has managed to take his place....i think hes one of those players we will only realise how good he was when hes gone

So will he be remembered by any of the fans of those clubs in 50 years like Lewis and Paul? No.

Joe Newall played at a higher level than both. Has his career been better?

Is that it 😂

[AgentDaleCooper]

they were both absolutely brilliant under lennon when we were flying, especially lewis.

heckingbottom and his crap signings and crap tactics have been the problem this season. There would be no harm in getting in a bit of competition, but it's by no means the priority IMO, especially lewis's position.

Yet another manager for them at Hibs, could this be their last manager?

If they don’t up their standard which we have seen so far this season I think they could be soon out the door.

When we sign players better than them, then fine. In the meantime they're not really our biggest issue. Our last manager couldn't find better so lets see what happens with the new guy.

Not really just a player who said he looked forward to playing against Hanlon, was sharing the opinion or a discussion forum sorry. I would also agree Hanlon was weak and got physically bullied at times and now he seems to have lost a yard or two when he doesn’t get bullied as often.

To pin point both these players given their performance over the years is unnecessary - every player is in this category at the moment given our league position

The last thing we should be looking to do is get rid of players who are Hibs through and through, especially given the summer ins and outs.

It's very subjective and impossible to quantify but having players at your club who support it, who get the club and are passionate about it... this is what can help build the bond with players, can motivate new players to "buy" into Hibs, providing they have the quality to do so....

Think both have been on something of a downward trajectory since the 2017/18 season which was undoubtedly the best of their careers. Maybe it was the extra confidence gained from playing in a decent side? Stevenson actually even looked half-decent in an attacking sense. Be good if they could recapture that form.

Stevenson could with better players in front of him. Definitely.

LS in the that 3-5-2 formation was (for me) a very welcome success, and very very surprising..

The beuty of the 3-5-2 was we had the defensive set up with LS and DG at wing backs or could go to an attacking 3-5-2 with Boyle and barker at either side. Never quite worked towards the end of lennons spell due to the midfield having lost JM and DM
