Matt Macey

[Ronniekirk]

If Ross sees Macey as his no 1 next season he will play him in all the remaining games
If Rocky plays v Aberdeen it suggests to me another keeper will be brought in and third keeper sent out on loan again like he was at Dumbarton

I can see Macey's performance tomorrow determining whether he or Rocky starts v Aberdeen.

Surely tomorrows game is more important that the Dons game, which we can lose but still have a better chance of finishing 3rd?

What if he has nothing to do?

As far as we know, at the moment, Macey is getting the cup games. If he has a good game tomorrow then he's got a decent case for starting v Aberdeen, particularly now that he has signed a contract. If he has an average or worse game then the chances are it will be Rocky v Aberdeen. I would class having nothing to as being an average game.

[Allez Hibs]

More than comfortable with Macey in goal tomorrow. He has a massive presence in goal given his size.

Gordon Strachan was saying the size of him alone might have been a massive advantage for Hibs in the penalty shootout v Motherwell.

Then stick him on if it goes to penalties. We should be playing our number 1 keeper in these important games.

Looks like Macey will be #1 next year and I'll be behind him if he is but right now Marciano is a better keeper and our best chance of winning important games is to play our best players.

[Lancs Harp]

With issues at the back, lack of bite in midfield (especially without Gogic) lack of creativity in Midfield and not scoring as many goals as we should, who is in goal tomorrow is the least of my problems. They are both decent and and can do a job. Dont care which is in goal I wont lose any sleep over whichever.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

My preference is that we shouldn't at this stage be chopping and changing between goalies. If Macey is Jacks preference as he'll be here next season, play him for the remainder of the season. If he feels Marciano is the better goalie, play him. Don't like it when we are swapping them, week after week. Don't think it helps our defenders.

A vital reflex save low down to left just after we went 2 up . A turning point stopped .Some may see it as a big call by JR ,particularly as it is so important to win but he sees him all time in training and has confidence to give him a 2 year contract .

[Pretty Boy]

Excellent today. One big save and was dominant.

[Allez Hibs]

Team selection spot on.

[Vault Boy]

Earns his final spot.

[Glory Lurker]

Solid.

Solid.

Fantastic. So proud of this team!!

[Northernhibee]

Ofir should have now played his last game for us, two or three times he commanded his box, a couple of excellent saves. Keeps the gloves for me.

[Dalianwanda]

It always seems to be 'a feeling' that people have against him...Nothing concrete, nothing tangible...He played really well today, delighted for him (and for Hibs)

[MagicSwirlingShip]

More than vindicated his selection today. Impressive performance

[Cheshire Hibby]

I like the look of Macey and it’s great that he wanted to stay.

[Hibee Mac]

Good game today, seems to command the box a bit more than Marciano which is nice.

Should be less commentary on his spot in the final after today, I also think Marciano may have already played his last game for Hibs now.

[The Modfather]

Looks like a ready made replacement for Marciano. Like the look of him.

I think so too. Macey is going to be the keeper for the final so needs to play v Aberdeen and Celtic to make sure he's as sharp as possible for the 22nd.

Thought he did well but the unease is with crosses.

Probably shouldn’t have come for the one that he got a bit stranded for. Was a bit similar to the position he ended up v Motherwell. Also mishandled one but recovered well.

Clean sheet and job done though and a cracking save at an important time too.

Will at the very least be good back up. 😁

you'll grow to love him Andy 🙂🙂🙂

Another keeper who hasn't been in the door very long possibly becoming a legend

I love all Hibs players. 😁

Macey is replacing a bit of a legend in Marciano. Some fans will take a while to accept that Rocky is no longer a Hibs player and will naturally see Matt as a downgrade.

However, he has done nothing to deserve the negative narrative that seems to be pushed by some fans. Indeed he has actually done a lot of good stuff.

If he is our first choice next season then I am happy with that.

If his unease is with crosses he’s got something in common with your ‘number 1 choice’😉 Id say he was pretty commanding generally though. The cross you’re talking about was a great one and he can be excused for being caught in 2 minds.

He did very well ... once again.

Well said. I got the impression on today's match thread that, while obviously wanting a Hibs win, some would have been happy had Macey screwed something up just to prove them right.

I wonder if Ross might be tempted to play Macey instead of Rocky in the remaining league matches.

You are going in with an issue here Andy. He's done very little to be a negative about and plenty to be positive about. 2 good saves today that he made look easy. Embrace him.
