It’s his foot is it not?

His ankle.

How was Tommy Block - if he was playing in those games?

Tommy Block's loan had ended by the time Josh Doig's began. Wasn't overly impressed by Block, tidy enough on the ball but didn't particularly stand out.

And Mallan and Allan😄

It's a shame we didn't sign Lewis Morgan.

If Doig is as promising as he sounds this is the perfect time and circumstances to fast track his progression. I’m sure we did similar with Porteous when he signed a new deal and we promised to fast track him into the first team to ward off interest from Celtc.

We’ve got a problem position at LB and no point in signing a short-ish term stop gap. Give Doig a chance to make left back his and if he does have the potential we all hope, persist with him long term even when has a tough spell like all young players, with Stevenson there to step in when needed.

Don’t forget Lewis Allan.

Agreed. Money will be tight for the season so if we have Stevenson, Mackie and Doig covering LB then maybe it can spent elsewhere.

Getting the midfield balance sorted and at least one more striker in being the areas that need sorted.

Does with Horgan brilliantly

Should be our new signing policy

Can't wait to see Shaughnessy and Messi running out together in the green and white.

He'll be behind Mackie and Lewis for the LB slot.

Mackie might prove to be a better midfielder than left back. Doig might just be better than him. And Lewis had an injury lay off last season, which refuted my belief that he is both indestructible and immortal.

This is the season for the kids. I’d like us to spend what budget we have on the best possible quality in a couple of positions, and then bring the kids in.

Won’t find a better left footed delivery at the club that Mackie’s. Would like to see him play left wing if we don’t sign one, or left wing back if we go 3 at the back, with Boyle on the other side.

Know some of his extended family and they are really proud of him. Also mentioned how much Hibs were better in his current development than Hearts. A lot of the family are Hearts fans as well

I agree re Mackie and thought Heckingbottom's treatment of him after the Rangers game did him no favours, he had some god and some average games at Dundee. Lewis having the injury didn't help and he was brought back too soon as per usual, curious to see how he'll be with a injury free pre season. Doig I haven't heard much about apart from on here and in reports, always happy to see young lads get a chance if they're good enough.

Was his father's name Rab?

I know a Rab Doig who played for Queens Park in the 1970s.

How exactly has Murray been given a fair chance? 2 starts in 2 years is not a fair chance.

When Lewis was out for pre season, league cup group stage and the start of the league season Mackie really had a chance to push himself forward for the left back position. Even excluding Ibrox he didn’t manage to do that. Chuck Ibrox in to the mix and he looked miles away from replacing Stevenson. And I’m one of those who thinks Stevenson needs replaced.

I don’t think Mackie will get such a good opportunity again and, for all his faults, I don’t think Heckingbottom did much wrong in loaning him out.

Must be a reason for that though, assuming that the three managers and their coaching staff in that time don't think he's better than other players in the squad.

Why do only starts count as getting a chance?

He'd get starts if he performed well enough in the sub appearances to justify a start, which he generally doesn't.

If only we couldve paired up Joe Tortolano with Ivan Zamorano!

10 minutes here and there doesn't really count as a chance IMO

He actually got a wonderful assist on one of those starts, for McNulty vs Aberdeen.

Too easy to just blindly trust the manager. 2 of them have been sacked for a reason.

I actually thought Lennon did well in introducing the youngsters into the first team squad. Porteous, Mackie, Murray and Gullan all given their professional debut under his tenure.

Maybe Ross will make a move for the little known German striker, Bucking Bun Frick?

Players like Scott Brown you could tell within 2 minutes they were a player. I do think that decent youngsters usually start with a bang.

Agree with bringing through more youth players. It could be the perfect time to do this. It's not always going to work but with money being tight perhaps some of this generation of youngsters can step up and build strong careers with Hibs before moving on for a decent fee.

You just took the words out of my mouth mate, he's got to earn the chance to start in games and with him coming through our system means he needs to stand out at training etc. Hibs handing out contracts to young players like Murray is exactly their chance the rest is up to the players and if they only get two starts then I can guarantee its got nothing to do with the manager not giving young guys a start and more likely that the young guys ain't good enough to start. Do people seriously believe that our management team and coaching staff cannot tell if a player deserves to start or not and if they are then deliberately leave them out because of their age??
I hate to say it but just maybe they ain't good enough
