Highlights at the back on Saturday:
No goals conceded. Ross said post match that they have been working hard on the defensive side of the game.
McGinn has another position. Did well.
Doig, an 18 year old kid was trusted by the manager to debut. That is a massive thing. I don't know if he will make it but he is in the mix which is massively positive. A boost to his confidence and self belief.
Stevenson came on and made a wonderful block to stop a shot which could easily have been the equaliser.
Defending and Squirrel were the positives from Saturday.

As well as replacing our rubbish full backs I think we need a new goalie as well, Marciano confirmed how rubbish he is by failing to stop that free kick that was pinged right into the postage stamp...
Dearie me! We could sign Ronaldo & Messi and some of our 'fans' would still find ways to criticise them...

I am surprise this thread is still open. It has all the hallmarks of a trolling thread. OP posts a controversial opinion and then disappears completely, not offering anything to the discussion, no back up to their OP. If you think we don't have quality in the full back positions tell us why.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Out of all the full backs I've seen, my 'dream paring' would be John Brownlie and John Parke....although obviously they did not play at the same time.
I know David Murphy would be high on a few lists, but I never got the chance to see him, other than on the odd video.
And for what its worth I don't agree with the OPLast edited by Forza Fred; 04-08-2020 at 12:44 AM.

I thought our full backs were ok on Saturday - they needed more from the players in front of them - Burke had the run of the right hand side until he was near the box, where Doig kept him from putting crosses in. If you look at Killie's crosses, the vast majority of them came early and from 25+ yards.
Ideally Doig and Wright would have been keeping the Killie wingers occupied at the other end but they struggled to do so because we defended narrow in the midfield. I don't think that was a failing on the full backs' part.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Anyone else remember a couple of full backs back in the day started with great promise then just disappeared: Rab Kilgour and Tam Stevens?

I thought Sean Mackie looked a great prospect when he first broke through, looking great going forward in particular. But rather than doubling down on his efforts and upping the ante he seemed to take the foot off the gas and was criticised for putting on weight in close season 2019 IIRC. If he has learned his lesson I would expect him to challenge again for a left back slot this season - but ONLY if he's prepared to work his cajonies off and treat his body like a temple. He has competition from the youth ranks now in Doig and that can only be a good thing.

What a player he was. Brilliant times.

He had superglue on his boots and could ping the ball well, but for DM it always comes back to that first touch. He really could trap anything he received, without spilling his brandy or dropping his cigar.........There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

It’s not as if he was slow either, he could shift once up through the gears. Can’t remember many wingers of that time giving him the runaround.
Short and long passes,no problem. Hard and fair in the tackle, great positional sense too. Glorious

Brownlie and Schaedler, the best ever, certainly in my lifetime. 1972
willie Miller and Graeme Mitchell were pretty decemt. 1991
Steven Whittaker and David Murphy already mentioned 2007
SDG and Lewis, Again pretty decent, 2016
But see what a good fullback pairing has meant to Hibs. Every trophy won in my lifetime has had a “decent “ full back pairing

McGinn is pretty solid. Doig is a star in the making.
