It's very common to play your other goalie in cup games, De Gea was 1st team pick not so long ago and hardly played in any cup matches, now he's dropped down and is only playing in cup games.

Jack Ross has decided to play our 2nd string keeper in the cup, not something i'd have done especially with what's at stake and how little we actually win this thing, but thats why they pay him the big bucks.

While I find the switching keepers thing a bit strange, I can only assume that Jack Ross has a good reason.
Either he's obliged to play Macey as part of the agreement that brought him here or he doesn't think there's that much between the pair of them in open play (each with pros & cons), but Macey is a better option in the event of a penalty shoot-out.

I said he seems to be under an extremely high level of scrutiny from a section of our fans. Not even close to saying people are calling him a poor keeper.

Unprecedented pressure, i really don't think so?

I've read at least 1 post saying we'd have beaten Motherwell in 90 minutes with Rocky in goals. I can't even fathom why that would have been the case, but no doubt you'll be able to tell me why that was a reasonable assumption.

For the Craig one he was slow to dive.
No idea what he was doing for the Rangers one.

I’ll stand by it, Marciano saves both of those goals against Motherwell with some comfort due to his positioning and reflexes. He does it time and time again.

The Craig one he was slow to move.
The Rangers one he made a save and somehow managed to turn it back in to danger.
All just things to consider when making the assumption he’d have “definitely” saved the Motherwell goals. I think he’d have dived for them but can’t guarantee a save - based on the recent examples listed.

1. He isn't Marciano. The vast majority of us like and trust Rocky. This has been something we have built up over the past 5 years where the guy has saved our asses on numerous occasions. He has been reliable and most of us hoped he would stay.
2. Marciano's predecessors were average to poor so we are concerned about the risk of being left in the same position. Macey has very little positive career history having played very little football so the jury is out meantime. A couple of good performances and no rickets and it will go away.
I thought he was very good in hellish conditions on his debut at Parkhead. Strong wrists and a shot saver. Since then he has been back up to Rocky outwith the cup.
I thought he did well on Saturday making one decisive save from Shankland and holding one deflected at him from close range late on. I didn't buy into the narrative that he made mistakes at the Mothrwell goals and didn't hear any criticism in the media so must conclude that some Hibs supporters were being a little unreasonable.Last edited by CMurdoch; 10-05-2021 at 03:39 PM.

Great that Macey is being supported but there appears to be a lot of it driven by some sort of bad feeling towards Rocky which isn’t that necessary.

Rocky has had 5 good years, he has a pedigree before us and played nearly 30 international games.
Suggestions from some that Macey is just as good or even better, that I’ve seen suggested, is what is drawing the scrutiny and discussion.
Fact is that Macey is back up. It wouldn’t be up for debate if Rocky was staying, regardless of the cup games and it remains to be seen what happens next season.

Personally would prefer Rocky in, but Macey isn't a bad option. I don't think we'll win or lose the game from either one playing.

Hopefully both have a winners medal round their neck in a fortnight and Rocky leaves a cup winner too

Just checking, the season he was at Plymouth they’d just gone up to league one and they regularly yo-yo between the two leagues. They were relegated that year after finishing 4th bottom, and conceded the 2nd most goals in the league, but that’s probably also because the teams in that league are just better than Plymouth.
Very hard to draw any conclusions.Last edited by hibsbollah; 10-05-2021 at 04:15 PM.

I always thought that Ben Williams was a very good keeper for us, but if you were to just judge it on his last few months with us when Butcher was in charge you wouldn't think that.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Not sure if it's been mentioned but he won the FA Cup last season with Arsenal (He was on the bench) so would him one of a few select players that have won both cups if we win the final.
