Sorry but constantly changing your left back after 60 mins isn’t good management. It’s like clockwork every week, only change is whether it’s Doig for Stevenson or Stevenson for Doig.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I love Stevenson. He is a Hibs legend and a great pro who should have a job for life at Hibs.
But it is time to let the youngsters come through.
It's harder said than done. Especially when you have a moron fan element who overreact to every single defeat and victory.

Doig had the spot, then had a rough half at Celtic park and everyone wanted Lewis back. You can't have it both ways. If you want Lewis replaced you are going to have to be patient with a replacement and let them learn.
I got slaughtered for suggesting Doig should've stayed on that day and learned.

If you have a player who is good for 60 minutes, another good for 30 meaning you get a good 90 minutes and still have 4 subs left to use elsewhere then is that not pretty good?
If we have a problem, it is that Stevenson’s hour today wasn’t good enough.

EXACTLY!
Lewis was not up to his usual standard today, even i have to admit that but i have every confidence in him bouncing back.
However he was not the only one in that Hibs team who was not on form but nothing is said about their dismal performances.
What i cant understand is that defence was not so long ago the best in the league and respnsible for a few good results too.
The players confindence is at a low level and one look at comments good and bad on here wont help them very much.
Im glad December is now over as every season we seem to slide after playing so well and getting a good amount of points, only to
shoot ourselves in the foot with the amount of games we seem to lose over the festive period.
Lets keep the faith and hope we turn the corner soon.

IMO Hibs have been too loyal to those who are now living on their Cup Winners reputations.
Hanlon has also been culpable for us losing soft goals recently and now lacks the physicality required and is easily bullied when under pressure.
Gray and McGregor are now bit part players on the bench as it appears the are not up to the rigours of playing 90 mins.
I appreciate the contributions messrs Hanlon, Stevenson, Gray & McGregor have made for Hibs previously, but we cannot let sentiment cloud our judgement and Hibs need to replace this quartet asap, if we are to avoid a downward spiral this Season.

Is Doig not seen more as a centre half than a left back? Maybe we need to be giving Mackie more games if Doig is eventually be going to move into the centre. Stevenson is still a good player to have as he rarely lets us down when needed, he was poor yesterday, but the whole team was poor.
United we stand here....

Personal opinion is Mackie is the better Left Back but Doig is probably a better central defender than a LB

Besides, I'd be giving Doig as much chance to develop as possible. Dropping him until a CB berth is available isn't the best way to do that.

Hermit Crab already doesn’t like him, so he’s getting there.

Time to let Doig become the new Lewis Stevenson. Great servant to the club but Doig is the future and he's more than capable.

I’d like to see Stevenson left back and doig left midfield. Thought he linked up quite well with Gullan when both on. With the experience of Stevenson behind helping him through games

Doig. Stevenson is finished at the level we are aiming to be. I reckon he could still do a job for a bottom six side or a Championship side but not 3rd/4th in the Prem.

It’s his first season. Yet the young man develop his game and his body get used to the demands of first team football. Lewis didn’t become our first choice left back overnight.

Doig
Mackie
Stevenson
In that order, Mackie has played well enough this season but not set the heather alight as some would have you believe, let's not forget he was written off by most hibs fans at the end of last season after failing to nail down a place at Dundee.
Doig's early season form and performance against Rangers is enough to convince me he's our first choice LB for the foreseeable.

Id imagine about 4 people on here have seen Doig play CB. You'd have had to watch a few Dev games, or Porty High! He may well become a very good CB but for now he is clearly playing as a forward thinking LB. His athleticism is way ahead anyone else we have on that side of the pitch so lets make use of that over the next few years.

Lewis could be in the category of SDG and Darren i.e. only to be used in case of emergencies. Sean and Josh for me. Jish still being young probably needs Lewis around but both can be exploited. So what though bcos some teams know how to exploit our weaknesses all over the park so no point in focusing on that too much.

Mackie currently the best all round option at the moment IMO, in terms of pace, physicality, defensively and going forward he ticks the most boxes for me. Doig is a better option long term as hes a good few years younger than Mackie but still lacks defensively and in terms of physicality.
He doesn't seem like a centre half to me tbh but that will depend on his development of course and how Hibs see him long term.
Mackie
Doig
Stevenson
