Nathan Wood

[CentreLine]

I thought he had a very assured and controlled first half. I like him and think he’ll do well for us.

[Ringothedog]

He was dreadful, a panic signing if ever I have seen one. Absolutely not what we needed. We were crying out for an experienced defender to challenge Hanlon and Porteous.

[Libby Hibby]

We have played with a 3 at the back most of the season, we change to a 4 today to accommodate Murphy imo and it all goes to pot.

Too many changes for Woods to get any blame today.

Today’s performance lies with Ross.

Thought he had a very bad debut there unfortunately. Only 19 though and must have something about him if he’s what, England U21 captain?

He’s u20 captain which is essentially a team for all the guys that’ll never play u21s.

Doesn’t make you a bad player but it’s a totally different level from their u21 team. Guys like Foden for example would have went 19s to 21s.

He’s on the standby for the 21s squad. Make no mistake the boy is talented.

I'd gie Wood the benefit of the doubt. As much as I love Daza, but James Scott though has had numerous chances to impress, punt his ass. Stick one of the young forwards like Josh O’Connor or Ethan Laidlaw in. Couldn't do any worse.

He just punted the ball away every time he had it. There was. Itching controlled about his performance.

He’ll need to be miles better than today to prove it.

He’ll need to perform a hell of a lot better than he did today if he’s to convince anyone of that.

Take it you missed Drey Wright's performance then.😉

I didn't miss it and he didn't have a dreadful debut.

Absolutely astonishing takes on Wood's performance.

He played a horrific pass back early on then fouled the attacker and got away with it. Was lucky to escape a booking later on for a late challenge. Stumbled on the ball at least twice. Shanked the ball out the pitch with world cup willy balls three times. Gave the ball away a number of other times.

I have no idea how anyone can seriously think that was an assured performance But each to their own.

Who cares. He was crap today and I don’t think we’ll see him again.

McGregor in next week and he’ll be away in Jan.

Standby for the 21s? Stop trying to sound knowledgable.

Was the same when he signed. Any criticism was met with “aye but he’s the England u20 captain”.

Is it not a team for those who’ll play for the under 21s next season?

Colin Murdoch and Danny Galbraith played for Man Utd. Slivka played for Juventus. Make no mistake about it, none of them were quality players for Hibs.

100% - I've been very supportive of JR and will continue to do so, but today's loss was all about how we were set-up. Our midfield was the reason we lost, not a young lad making his debut.

Agree with this, no point in putting Gullan on the bench, get these young lads some experience

Exactly. And Nathan Wood has never played for the England U21's. If he does I'll be amazed.

Im all for giving younger players a chance but he isnt any better than mcgregor which makes me wonder why he started today, hopefully he improves now he has had his debut

We needed an experienced centre half and today has shown brining in a youngster with little experience has backfired

Hmm. Had we played McGregor and he'd made a mistake people would be saying we should have played Wood. To be fair to Ross he probably made the right call.

Yeah the whole team looked like weren’t up for it. Dundee United we’re pressing a lot of the game hibs passes going knowhere even in final third the few times we got there hit first man putting it into the box

True but we have lost heavily to a team we beat on one half not so long ago Huge turnaround
Didn’t see game but reading this thread is a bit depressing given hearts remain unbeaten

Na not really. There’ll be some players who move between squads but generally speaking it’s really just a team that’s for the guys that aren’t good enough for the England U21s.

Most of the proper elite players jump from u19 to u21 - and by elite I’m talking Phil Foden etc elite and bypass the 20s. As I said, that doesn’t mean they’re bad players by any means but Wood won’t be captaining guys that will end up playing at the top end of world football most likely.

Fair enough - I hadn’t heard of the under 20s so assumed it’s where you went after 19s. The true elite skip all of that - Owen, Rooney etc.

I think it’s harsh to be writing him off after 1 game. Was he even at fault for any of the goals?
