Jason Cummings

I've never understood the criticism of Cummings' workrate. When he was with us he was extremely fit and gave his all whenever he played.

I also thought he improved every year he was with us.

He was a bit raw and had a few flaws when he broke through, but was much better by the time he left.

I thought he played very well against us.

He's not a starter for Dundee 😂

Neither did Scott Allan and he came in and turned us from a decent side into one of the best Hibs sides in the last 40 years.

It was speculation only on why he doesn't start, another possibility is because most teams go with only one striker these days and he is a less good fit at that? Who typically starts for Dundee?

Makes no sense whatsoever. Anyone who saw him play for Dundee against us earlier in the season will have seen that he is still a hard worker. The stuff about not starting for Dundee is irrelevant. Different teams have different needs. Unlike Griffiths he has plenty mileage in him.

[Heisenberg]

I’d 100% have him in our current squad.

TBH it was an observation on comments that have made about Cummings over the years, including when he was still with us.

That was John McGinn
Allan without McGinn was exposed

McGinn was already there. Allan changed our season.

Yup. And those 12 games was one of the best Hibs teams most of us have ever seen. Anyway, it’s not really worth arguing about. The idea Scott Allan wasn’t anything but an exceptional signing that season is mental.

[Pretty Boy]

We had to start Jamie Gullan today.

If it was a straight choice between him and Jason Cummings then there is no contest.

[Iain G]

Does anyone think Riordan could still do a job for us?

[90274]

It was madness not re-signing Jason Cummings. He puts in a shift, knows where the goals are and has something about him.

I'd say he has more about him than Nisbet.

Neither was Martin Boyle.

Having lived through our dire derby periods of the 80s and early 90s, a guy like Cummings who banged them in regularly in a succesful period against them is a player worth having.

It wasnt just Hearts though - he scored plenty against Rangers, Aberdeen & Dundee United too when he was with us. Imagine having him as an option coming off the bench?

We didn’t have to start Jamie Gullan. Jack decided to play him. I still can’t figure out why.

[JammyDoidger]

Would have felt confident playing hearts with him in the side, and they'd be making a mess of their pants him lining up for us again against them. Still think they'll sign him tbh. Be so typical.

Because we dont have enough squad depth

[Wheat Hound]

He might not be keen on coming back anyway after the idiots in our support singing derogatory songs about him earlier this season. It clearly stung him at the time.

[Weegreenman]

Things must be bad when your biggest thrill of the evening is watching the highlights of a former player scoring against Hearts.

Sad times……again!

Signing Cummings might not make a difference in games like today due to the midfield.

But my god do I miss abit of personality in the Hibs team. He’s a far better option than Scott and Gullan. And you’d actually be able to play him when Doidge is fit and drop Nisbet if he’s not contributing

Bingo. Sometimes a player brings more to a club than just footballing ability. Like so many Hibs teams of the past, we're short of players with self-belief and drive when times get tough.

Depends what you mean by “more about him”.

I wouldn’t say he has more football ability about him. But then he does have more wacky haircuts.. about him.

[J-C]

I spoke to him at Craigleith on Friday while waiting for the wife to finish work. He's a decent lad and seems to have screwed the nut a bit, he admits he was too daft for his own good at times. Would've jumped at the chance of a return to us but no one came in for him and happy up at Dundee, I think we missed a wee trick here.

[Unseen work]

The thing for me that Nisbet and Doidge don’t have is the belief they’ll do something out of nothing.

Cummings, Griffiths and Riordan etc for me all gave me a feeling that no matter how bad we’re playing or how unlikely it is looking for us, they would pop up with a goal.

All of them scored goals it never even looked on to shoot.

Nisbet doesn’t have that effect for me. I’ve lost count the amount of times he slowly goes towards a defender inside the box to create a yard and loses it. The other mentioned would do a quick shift and smash it in the other side.

Nisbet could be better than all of them with the attributes he has and has shown when he’s on top form aswell as his physicality, but he just doesn’t show it enough.

It’s like after 4 months of playing with us the hype went to his head and he thinks he’s doing us a favour.

We saw it with Kamberi and look how that’s worked out for him.

He needs to get back to what he can do.

[500miles]

We're able to speak to him in January, and we should try.

Because we signed him on loan on January 31st, two thirds of the season had already been played. Our form went through the roof after he arrived.

To me it was the first sign of panic from JR.

Scores a hat trick through the week in a bounce game and throws him in.

A roll of the dice looking for a six and got a one.

Over the years I've noticed Hibs managers when they start to struggle seem to pick random teams which only get worse.

First sign.

It was glaringly obvious our midfield would be over run and out battled - couldn't believe the formation and selections yesterday. Even if it was a poor Aberdeen, they played with younger players, more width, and lots of physicality in their starting line up (which was predictable).

Murphy made a difference when he came on but for me he is a senior player and should be starting these bigger games.

As for the defence Scoopy, three of the four are stalwarts and I'm not hanging them out to dry on the back of yesterday - but if we want a side that continually wants 3rd and progress, Hanlon, Lewy and Daz have to be moved on and we need younger, driven, and players who want to get to the next level in their careers and make the club some money.

Jase is a legend he belongs in a green jersey, bring him back.

Agree, seen it before. What was quite telling for me was the reaction when Gullan got subbed. There were quite a few grumbles but it was more towards Nisbet staying on the park despite the fact he couldn’t even be bothered to move. We’re playing without a centre forward at the moment.
