Doidge is more important to us.

I’m not sure what parts of the game Nisbet is better at?

Supposedly a more natural goal scorer but I think Doidge must score at a better rate for us as well as all the other stuff he brings to the team.

They’ve got nigh on identical records goals per game wise.

I’m like you, if I’m choosing one striker out of the two then it’s Doidge. His all round game is fantastic.

Not fit - shouldn't be playing. If he wasn't fit Jack wouldn't be playing him . Time he was dropped.

Who exactly do we play in his place?

He Boyle and Doyle Hayes havent been training according to JR. Theres an illness going around. Worth knowing for some.

Aye that's fair and explains why they've all not been at it, Boyle aside. This thread has probably gone as far as it has because certain posters called others out for their opinions about a drop in form but if there's a reason behind it and JR has acknowledged it then I'm happy to accept that as a reason for what I and many others have observed. I only hope now that those posters can reflect upon their attacks and offer apologies to those they accused of trolling.

Makes our form even more impressive. Looking forward to when we're at full strength again.

Jack Ross has said he's not fully fit, so let's just get behind Nisbet until he inevitably starts scoring again. He's proven his quality, now it's about perseverance. He probably wouldn't be playing if we had a deeper squad, that's not his fault.

Some poor and disproportionate comments on here that seem to want to take a revisionist stance on just how good Kevin has been for us during the last year.

It's just what we've come to expect from an element of the Hibs support. If we were a point off the bottom I might understand it but it seems a certain few are happiest putting the knife in to our players regardless.

I think he's definitely short on confidence. Not much seems to be coming off for him just now. Hopefully its just a short term thing. In fairness I'm sure I heard JR say in his post match interview that KN hadn't trained all week along with Boyle. Could be carrying a slight knock.

He’s not. Nisbets our best striker.

Let’s not forget the ***** that was being said about Doidge when he went out of form previously.

Doidge is comfortably our best striker. When he wasn’t scoring he was still playing very well.

Nisbet isn’t scoring and playing *****

It’s the We should have sold him crack I was replying to tbh. That’s one of the worst takes ever heard on here. He’s an excellent footballer and exactly what we should be keeping. Ffs it wasn’t that long ago we had Rowan Vine!!

Ross said Nisbet hasn’t been training recently. Must be struggling with something.

Shouldn't be playing then.

His attitude after the final whistle today won't do him any favours with the fans either.

Maybe he wanted in early to ice his ankle that he injured 5 minutes before?

Did he not have Covid recently, may be still feeling the effects from that, can take weeks to recover properly, we've seen JDH looking knackered in games recently too.

And JDH has been dropped because of this and rightly so. We can't just keep playing Nisbet because we have nobody else? Won't do him any favours going forward.

Slating him? It was an observation. By a few that sit beside our group I may add. I posted further up the thread I had money on him for the 1st goal today. I would love to see him scoring like we know he can. I just think there seems to be a issue with him.

***GreenNWhiteArmy*** · 26-09-2021 07:19 PM

Could be doing with sitting out the upcoming international break

Not as cohesive with Boyle as he is with Doidge, which is fair enough.

Exposing our shortcomings in the window as another striker coming in might take the heat off him for a week or two

A lot of pressure on his shoulders right now

He’s not being slated.

I can't decide about this.

In the current climate, a drop in form leads to being dropped or axed.

Nisbet is getting an opportunity to play his way out of his dodgy spell and it's an opportunity not afforded to many these days.

His head is down right now and things aren't going for him. I can't argue that he's playing well, but he's got a week to get over whatever has been working on him and get going again next week.

A goal at Ibrox could go a long way towards lifting his spirits.

If he's been unwell and unable to train he was probably just dead on his feet and maybe a bit annoyed with himself for the couple of errors he made in the final few minutes.

During the pre-match warm-up he was in fine form, laughing & joking.

Maybe we shouldn't be too quick to think the worst?

At times he didn’t look interested. It’s really not ‘slating’ him to say that.

Whilst I totally get your point, it's not Nisbet's fault we can't play someone in his place.

That's at least two games in a row now he's been on his knees for a wee break looking like he's playing injured.

I asked you this question yesterday, and you didn't respond.

For context on where Hibs can realistically move forward to, let's see you name the last five Hibs managers to win a major trophy.

Great win today. The top of the league is very tight, I was alluding to a 2nd place finish one day and lifting a trophy which is a strong possibility this season.

Apologies if my posts are seen as negative, it's not meant. I want the best for the club.

There is our manager explained it after the match he's not been training...stop trying to make out its something more and give the guy a break ...maybe he was as frustrated as us at his performance today and that's why he left the pitch early
