Absolutely made to be a deep lying playmaker or box-to-box midfielder. Can't believe we were playing him out wide. You can tell he's growing in confidence all the time too.

Definitely!👍

[HendoDelivered]

Class again.

[Hiber-nation]

He changed the game in the first half once he got on the ball. Just showed great composure, kept the ball and trusted his ability.

Am I right in thinking he's only under contract until the end of this season? Really need to get him signed up for longer if so, very classy operator

Bit worrying.

None of us will look back on Heckingbottom’s time at the club with all that much fondness, but the signings of Newell and Doidge have the potential to be up there with our best in recent years, if a wee bit short of the John McGinn mark.

Christian Doidge had been scouted by our recruitment team before Heckingbottom was interviewed for the Hibs job.

He was the best player on the pitch today. His ability to play a pass but work hard is a lesson for Scott Allan

I had definitely looked at YouTube videos of him prior to him signing under Heckingbottom, I can only assume we had been linked previously for me to watch clips of him 😁

Yep, 2 year deal in 2019

Him & Gogic were fantastic again in midfield. Add someone like a Greg Docherty in there and it looks even better.

[Scorrie]

Newell looked really classy today. Always looked like he had time on the ball and rarely if ever wasted it.

[Jim44]

I think dropping SA today was the right decision and will pay dividends as the season develops when he gets in shape. After lockdown, he’s not ready yet, but he’s not a daft laddie and will come good soon.

The only problem being that on today's performance there is no-one who could be dropped for Docherty.

Nah, he was excellent last week too.

...and for most of last season. He’s criminally underrated as I said on the other thread.

Scotty is a class player. How anyone can dig him is beyond me. A squad game.

Newell is a cracking player, not at all fussy and keeps the ball moving nicely. I think he’ll be an important player for us this season and i hope we’re in a position to extend his contract ASAP.

I thought he was very good. Made it look easy.

[MWHIBBIES]

Ross obviously thought 442 was the way to go today. Allan can't play in a 442. Simple as that really. If we switch it up again for another game he could be back in.

[Andy74]

He’s a beautiful man.

When Newell joined the club Heckingbottom said that he was a player who would take the ball forward, link the defence and attack. He then played him on the left wing?

Newell said that he was not a winger. It showed.

Quality of squad is what we want.

[SCHAEDYSHORTS]

Its great to see Newell & Doidge come good, when they first came they were getting absolute pelters regarding their performances. Nobody wants to see a player fail at Hibs, even more so when they have cost us decent money & are on good contracts. I'm really pleased that they have turned it round & look like becoming key players in the months to come. Funny old game as they say!

Exactly. Ross said in his post match press conference that they looked at the formations and style of play of teams that had done well at the Spaghettihad and tried to adapt our team to align with what worked for others. It’s good that we have the depth to be able to do that and Scotty will definitely be back.

While Allan was sublime in the second goal last week, he passed to the opposition a lot which was a big part of us having such poor procession.

[Onceinawhile]

Thought he would have been out muscled and out worked today. But absolute bossed it when called upon.

[J-C]

I must admit he's change my mind about him, at the beginning of last season I thought he looked slow, ponderous and lethargic but then he was playing out of position as a left winger, now in the middle he's showing exactly the player he is.

[Robbo6-2]

He has got one of the best left pegs at Easter Road for many years.

Its beautiful to watch. The definition of a wand
