As the previous discussion sadly had to be locked...
Well done Stevie Mallan on your great start in Turkey. That was a fantastic goal.
Hopefully he gets some proper game time and (if he comes back to us) he's refreshed and ready to go.

Did he play behind the strikers. It looks like it from the goal which showed the type of player he was for St Mirren. Opportunistic, great strike, drive and a bit of pace. Such a pity he never really got that many games in a position that suits him

Couldn't have asked for a better start for Stevie in Turkey. Hope the move proves to be just what he was needing. Would like to think he'll come back to us a better player at the end of it all. He has too much talent to let slip through our fingers.

He got a few games in what you’d expect to be his best position and he didn’t set the heather on fire there either.
Mallan frustrated because he clearly had something to offer but just didn’t manage to show it often enough.
I reckon Scottish football was maybe too physical for him - lots of quick, strong players shutting you down. If he played for a team in a league where you got a bit more time on the ball, or in a team where the opposition had to worry about multiple threats then he might show what he’s capable of.
I think it might be a mistake to think that if he shows up well elsewhere that we’d have necessarily ever seen that from him in a Hibs shirt.
I did like the guy and genuinely hopes he can be a success as on his day he’s a great player to watch.Last edited by Smartie; 06-02-2021 at 11:48 AM.

You're right, sorry, I should have said 'if he comes back'.

Hopefully installs a bit of confidence in him, there is a decent player there imo and he showed that when he first came to us

I asked on the other thread before it was closed - was it ever confirmed or rumoured how the loan move came about?

Some revisionist history going on already with Mallan, we can and should be doing better than Mallan in our squad and I assume he's a relatively high earner too.
Not suited to the Scottish top flight I reckon, but let's not make out as if his general poor form for us was the fault of Lennon, Hecky and then Jack Ross.

He is okay, and scored some goals but the majority were vs poor opposition and early on in his time here.
Really no idea what the snide last part of your post is about? What is the need for that?

Mallan is done at Hibs. If his best position is as an advanced midfielder he's behind Murphy by a distance and if Allan gets back to anywhere near his best then behind him as well. He's quite evidently not getting into the team as a deeper midfielder ahead of Gogic, Irvine, Newell or Hallberg.
Sad it didn't work out for him long term here. Hope he does well on his loan but he's not the answer to a problem that doesn't really exist. Best for both parties if he moves on in the summer.

Ach well - good luck Stevie Mallan - great to see you find your scoring boots again. I think it's fair to say he goes there with the best wishes of the vast majority of Hibees.

Competition right now, particularly in midfield, is red hot. If we can add a striker in the summer and another CB/RB then there's not a position on the field that is without competition. Our dip in form coincided with injuries that meant certain players were a guaranteed start, and also worn out at the same time.
I don't think it's coincidental that the return of competition to be, quite frankly, even on the bench, has resulted in a big upturn in form and playing style.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Competition is good so we should get rid of some players so we don’t have competition anymore??
Only takes a couple of injuries to start looking light again.

Good to see that Jack Ross is keeping in touch with him.
Despite heading out on loan, Ross is keeping a close eye on Mallan’s progress.
“When I made the move he got in touch right away to make sure I’d settled in," the midfielder revealed. “Straight after the match on Thursday he sent a text to say congrats on the goal.
“Even though I’m on loan, he still makes me feel part of the squad. The fact he didn’t want me to go made me feel better.
