His failure to control a ball was nowt to do with the midfield at Livi. Although I agree they were terrible also. The issue I was talking about was when the keeper, Hanlon, Daz or Stevenson played it long. Nothing stuck and most of the time it went back towards our defence putting us straight under pressure.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

That’s not really been the case throughout his time with us imo. Horrible pitch, windy, balls being hoofed up to him with no support - that’s a tough shift for any striker.

If Doidge maintains his current strike rate then he’s on course for c20 goals in League and Cup competitions this season. Decent return if he manages it. Not many Hibs strikers have done this over the past 40 years, I would guess?
Has Shankland even scored in the SPL yet?
Prolific at a lower level, probably a standard not dissimilar to Doidge at Forest Green or whatever? Remains to be seen whether he can step up a level.
Whilst the 5k a week rumour is probably as speculative as the Doidge 350k transfer fee ( which I find highly unlikely, maybe with all manner of conceivable add ons etc). A wage like that would put him beyond Hibs’ reach anyway.

I’m not confident at all and think Declan Glass and Shankland will put us out the cup.
I’d be delighted at a draw and take them back to Easter Road and beat them under the lights with a decent crowd giving us the edge.

I don't think we're so "big" that we can say that we wouldn't be remotely content with a draw. I'd strongly fancy us against United at Easter Road, a tie for us away to flying leaders of the Championship will always have something of the banana skin about it, whoever that team happens to be.

Doidge isn't as bad as some make out, but is nowhere near as good as others want you to believe.
Shankland has been a better signing for Dundee Utd than Doidge has been for us.

Fair comment although Doidgey will hopefully prove it to be wrong come Friday.
A lot of tosh being written about an away draw being a poor result from some people with very poor memories. A certain team from the Championship knocked out all comers on the way to Cup victory only a few seasons back - and they were not on anything like the run of form the Arabs find themselves on at the moment IIRC. Any result that keeps us in the cup will be a good one.

Various rumours in the papers say both Celtc and QPR are scouting Shankland.
I don’t think they are scouting Doidge.

Of course the players and the manager will go into the game with the certain belief that they have the ability to win - but they won't go into it disrespecting their opponents by thinking it'll be a walkover - an attitude which is often a recipe for disaster.
I'm sure they will be realistic in their assessment - ie they are perfectly capable of winning the game at Tannadice but giving anything less than 100% will leave them wide open to being knocked out by very capable opponents who are in winning form. Hibs will be striving to win but will also know perfectly well that taking United back to Easter Road will be anything but a disaster - a better result for us than it would be for them certainly.

I’ll hold my hands up and say they’re a decent side if they knock us out but from the times I’ve seen them this season, limited mind you, they’ve not looked anything special

It's good that Doidge found a bit of goal scoring form after a fairly quiet start, and hopefully he can do something similar in the second half of the season.
However, even the most blinkered and ridiculous of hibs.net posters would do well to play down how good Shankland has been for Utd.
In my opinion this isn't even close to debate-worthy (but that is only my opinion and it has reached a few pages already ).
I would love to have Lawrence Shankland in the Hibs team. And I'd give (one of) most of our players to have him. Absolutely no question.
Having said that - I hope he has an absolute shocker next weekend, and any Doidge voters are feeding me humble pie.

I find it strange that nobody took a punt on Shankland, but maybe it is one of those cases where fitba folk actually do know what's going on.
Maybe the guy is too slow,or lacking the brains to play at the top level. Simon Murray has a successful spell at United, but went past his level when he went to Hibs.

It wasn’t that hard to see my point, was it?
If so, I will try again: Scottish champions and an English championship club seem to have Shankland on their watch list. I am not aware that clubs of a similar calibre are scouting our number 9.
Given that attracting transfer fees for our talent is a key factor for success, at the moment it would suggest that Shankland is a hotter property than Doidge and therefore a better signing.
If this still isn’t pedantic enough for you, I am sure you will let me know.
