Always reminds me of the Rugby boy at school joining in with the fitba
Fit as a butchers dug, runs around a lot, no got a clue what he is doing, two left feet and largely anonymous
If he stays fair enough he may benefit from a preseason if he goes I would like to think we could do better for the same dough

I have not seen anything different to persuade me otherwise
Sometimes I have to remind myself he is playing
Needs to show more composure and quality on the ball and seriously work on his final ball and finishing
Which is why most people are meh if he stays or goes

We ended up signing the 2, what we expected to be, ball winning/box to box centre midfielders we’d been crying out for in Irvine and Magennis. Both have disappointed in my view, willing to give them both a pre-season before I pass judgment but if the intention is to play them in the same position they’ve been deployed thus far why bother keeping either of them.

We now have brought someone else in who can play left side midfield, and we are building again from a stronger base, unless we get rid of them all as some are suggesting?

I'm in-between with Jackson Irvine, I see a good footballer but played the wrong way with Hibs. The footage I've seen him at his best is playing a little deeper in midfield and driving forward centrally, very athletic, however he's been played in a more left sided role at Hibs. Didn't impose himself in the big games for me, looked better against weaker teams. Would I be pushing to make him the highest earner which he would be - no. Would I like to see him next to more creative players in midfield, yes.
I'm perhaps basing it on the important games where for me he's been posted missing.

I don’t think we’ve done anything that is particularly modern tactic wise. That’s not a criticism to be fair, I just think football is rarely as complicated as it’s made out to be in an age where every last detail is analysed to death. I know you have the Pep’s of this world playing with false nines and whatever, but I think it’s a lot more straightforward than that for us with the players at our level.

There's been a lot of debate about our best midfield, but nobody mentioned playing either Irvine or Gogic, which for me is the decision that should have been made when everyone was available.

Newell is the odd one out IMO. He doesn’t particularly fit alongside either Gogic or Irvine, and when he does the midfield is less than the sum of its parts, but Irvine & Gogic can fit together.
I wonder if Ross views Newell in terms of his stats, I’m sure it’s often pointed to that Newell has the most tackles and interceptions in our team. That’s difficult to argue against, but the less scientific, more visual indication is that our midfield is better without Newell IMO.

I'd have went with one of the two + Newell + Murphy.
(but I'm no expert either)

IMO if Irvine stays,it’s because he’s not got a better offer from elsewhere.
Is this a good enough reason for him staying open to question.
On the home website current first team squad midfielders are listed as :-
Steven Bradley,Fraser Murray,Jackson Irvine,Martin Boyle,Kyle Magennis,Alex Gogic,Stevie Mallan,
Scott Allan,Drey Wright,Jamie Murphy,Stephen McGinn,Daniel Mackay.
Add to that Chris Cadden who’s listed as a defender but played in midfield.
Also development squad players coming back of loan such as Josh Campbell.
WHO STAYS,WHO GOES ?

Personally speaking can take Irvine or leave him. Was excited when he signed but have to admit been slightly disappointed with him to be honest. Doesnt help that he and Newall dont seem to be able to play together. Both decent players but just a bad fit together. European football will hopefully attract new players.

I do not think we will see him back at Hibs.
He has played in 2 of the 3 Australia WC qualifiers in Kuwait so far, and though the opposition has been poor, he has played well, and I doubt that this will go unnoticed by teams with more money in the kitty than us.
