Josh Doig

[Percy Vere]

Interesting article interviewing Ray Mackinnon on his loan spell at Queens Park. Played him at left back and raving about his performances. Maybe cover for LS this season?
Maybe still too young but with comparisons to Andy Robertson he must be worth bringing into the first team squad.

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

Hate saying it, but haven't been impressed by Mackie the times I've seen him play. Obviously hope he can prove me wrong! But his defending isn't good enough to be playing in our first team yet.

Thanks for sharing that, I would have missed it otherwise. Sounds like a great talent. Hopefully we'll get to see him if we can get some pre season games arranged.

Get him in the first team. Other teams like Motherwell or Hearts would of gave this boy a chance by now.

No wonder our boys dont develop they way they should they don't get a chance.

I agree, he’s surely worth a shot over pre season to see how he does.

Mackie doesn’t look good enough to make it at Hibs for me.

I’d put Doig back out on loan next season in the hope he’d be ready the season after when you’d have to presume LS will really be starting to show signs of his age. Suppose the only issue with that is not knowing when the games will start again at QP sort of level.

No they didny we poached him.
But your missing the point.

Time our boys got a proper chance. Fraser Murray is a really talented player, ask any first team player and they will tell you he is terrific in training and is the fittest in the team.

Yet hes never been given a prolonged period in first team. His best spell was under Hecky when he played four or five games in a row towards the end of season.

Id much rather see Murray get a chance over 10-15 games at left mid than Daryl Horgan anyway

Mackie wasn’t playing left back at Dundee so I’d be surprised if that’s where we see his future

[Robbo6-2]

Mackie is also recovering from an extremely serious knee injury. People are forgetting that.

Porteous has been getting his chance and he's the same age as Murray. Murray hasn't been consistent when he has played and there are a few folks (not me) round here who think he should be on his way out. I don't get this criticising of Hibs for not playing youngsters while claiming that Hearts would have played Doig ... which they didn't do when he was on their books. Personally, I think we should play the best players for the game in hand regardless of their age.

[Col2]

Loved that article, so positive and sounds like he has a really strong future.

[Vault Boy]

Excited about seeing Josh get a chance in the first team. Seems to be highly rated by those involved in his development and this article certainly compounds on that.

Fraser Murray has had plenty chances to try to win a place in the Hibs team. He's just rarely ever shown that he should keep that place.

Given the option, I'd play Horgan over him every time.

That's not to say the young players shouldn't be given a chance, but they need to then take that chance and build on it.

Hearts punted Cummings, he did alright. We punted Griffiths, he did alright too. Players develop at different ages, he’s only 18.

I’d give the boy a shot, Stevenson’s been a great servant over the years but I’m in no doubt that he’s one who’s holding us back nowadays. Sorry to say it cause the guy’s a gentleman, but it’s true.

Agreed. Now is the perfect time to give him a chance

I saw Doig playing a few times for QP last season and I was very impressed. Was often one of the best players on the park, and I know it was League 2 but that isn't usually the case for 17 year old loanees. Strong at winning the ball, good at getting forward and getting balls into the box, is composed on the ball and knows what he's doing. Certainly seemed older than his years.

There might be other left-backs who've been around the first team squad longer than him but I would definitely say he's a more promising prospect. A loan at a higher level next season, maybe Championship, could be the best way forward for Josh, then maybe coming back to Hibs later in the season depending on how its going.

I can’t see Mackie making it with us tbh. Certainly not as a left back.

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

Saw him play three times for QP last season, he was the standout player in 2 of those games and dreadfully off the pace in the other. Opinions eh.
