What we need is a left back.
As in your post left back in 2014.

The boy bale isn’t doing much at Real. Seriously, what do folk expect? In my 30 years of watching Hibs you can probably count the number of true quality fullbacks on one hand - you need an abacus to count the bombscares so I think we should be happy with some steady performers and let the midfield do the creative attacking work.

I think we probably are looking shapely for full backs, while with a club like ours there will always be scope for improvement should we have the resources.
I am not suggesting you are criticising Lewis and he didn’t start the game. There is a reason every one of the nine million managers who have had him at Hibs played him. Defensively he is solid. On the attack he moves and shows for the ball and is always available for the pass. If he has to track back he is in fifth gear. I read comments criticising him for his crossing. He plays what he is told, snappy ball to the first man, which usually doesn’t work but if it does it will lead to a goal scoring chance more reliably than a lofted ball, as well as keeping us safer on the counter-attack.
He is edging towards the end of his career, of course. Hopefully Doig offers a ready-made replacement. From the dev, there were options down the last few years, I was never fully convinced that Callum Crane was right for us, actually maybe more of a CM. I liked Kenny Waugh but it didn’t work out at Hibs. That’s probably why I don’t have a career in football managementThere's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Doig has just played his first league game at 18 and didn’t look out of place. Written off already though, tremendous.

We have some proper clowns in our support.

After years of watching the likes of Kujabi, Hart, McGivern, Francomb, Maybury (not the worst) and Clancy, I'm pretty satisfied with 'no quality fullbacks' of the standard of McGinn, Stevenson, Doig and SDG.

This is tremendous 😂 Doig was totally fine and extremely confident on the ball. Taken off when he ran out of steam and Stevenson came on and was absolutely solid. On the other side Wright was fine, and McGinn does a shift at right back when moved to a 4. I’d rather this season we started off being more solid and have attacking players attack, better balance, which we showed yesterday.

Good fullbacks seem to come in pairs - Laursen and De La Cruz; Murphy and Whitaker; Stevenson and Gray. Outside of those pairings, we’ve had journeymen at best as fullbacks. Maybe no coincidence that we are more successful with a pair of decent fullbacks.

I can't wait for Lewis/Doig to have good seasons and Mcginn to do well so I can bump this pointless, negative thread and laugh at it.

Yesterday the three defenders were superb IMO with Porteous the pick of the bunch, in the second half balls were continually pumped into the box and the three at the back dealt with it all, a good news story? No lets just turn it into a negative because we haven't got Van Dyke or Bale we have no ambition is that was is seriously being suggested?

In my time watching Hibs we have probably had a handful of really good full backs.
The current incumbents aren't on a par with a young Whittaker or the imperious David Murphy, few would argue otherwise. They may not be the best we have had but they are far from the worst. Doig has played one competitive game so I'm not talking about him, he could be anything.

Shades was fitness personified, hard athletic....Brownie was more cultured, and scored more goals.
Both played for Scotland at some point in their careers.

Lets just get right behind the boys we have now, McGinn will grow in confidence with more games & who knows about Doig? To early to call yet, he may be the next star man! it does happen.
