Newell needs a big performance against a decent team to prove a few of us wrong. Decent opportunity for him next week then.
It’s a tough one to know how to approach with what/ who we’ve got. Rangers have been a bit like kryptonite to us in recent years - their strengths have horribly exposed our weaknesses. They’re strong and very mobile from middle to front where we’ve been slow and weak - pre-Gogic. He’ll be in his element and had some really strong performances against them for Hamilton. I’m still convinced they’re vulnerable at the back, so it’s a tricky balance between countering their attacking threat with focussing on carrying a threat of your own.
I’m tempted by the idea of 352, all the usual suspects then a middle 3 of Gogic, Newell and Allan. The 2 strikers, Allan, Newell and Boyle carry a very decent threat and I always want to see Hibs attack. Does it have enough defensively though, do we just get bullied and overrun in the middle?

Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Just my opinion but I think they’re excellent in midfield, out wide and up front. I think they might be vulnerable if teams had the desire or ability to find out - and we’ve got 4 or 5 players with that required ability.

I’m not totally convinced by him at the moment but neither am I convinced by our alternatives.

Ultimately consistent results like yesterday’s will shape our season but I’d hope Newell can be a bit more arsed about turning up than it appears some of our fans are.

Things aren't always going to go your way in football. Hibs also need players in the middle who can dig in and turn things round.

He seems a very confidence based player. He scored earlier his head was up and he was terrific.

Joe Newell is a key player in our team and I'm happy he's playing for Hibernian FC.

Newell was excellent yesterday, did the defensive side well beside gogic but really looks after the ball when he has it which I love. Never looks flustered

He's a very good player. Delighted we are trying hard to get him to extend his stay.

He looks comfortable and confident.
Excited to see how he kicks on this season.
