Yep. Gets slated for not putting enough into a game, comes on a gets rattled in and is slagged off again. A laddie that’s won a raffle? Ffs.

He’s nowhere near the quality needed. That’s peoples gripe with Campbell.

[madhatter]

Is that 2 players that have got contract renewals just before the manager gets sacked? Campbell with Ross and Newell with Maloney?

New manager could think both players aren't good enough. Good going Hibs!

Newell will be a regular starter under whoever the new boss is. I've absolutely no doubt about it.

Get's rattled in? You mean escapes a red card after a pathetic tackle surely?

Gets slated for not being good enough. Throwing yourself into a red-card worthy tackle doesn't take you from poor to good enough.

Would you have preferred if I'd had said "Tombola" then ?

Time for reality here he is not good enough to be playing at Hibs end of. Whoever gave him that new long contract seen something the rest of us obviously don't.

Campbell is clearly being played out of position.

He is an offensive midfielder but has played the majority of games under Maloney as a defensive midfielder with strict guidelines about how far he can stray.

He is a Pat McGinlay type - nothing flashy, not particularly pacy, won’t jink past a man, not tremendously quick, not a hard man, not great in the air. All very Pat McGinlay who was revered by many.

Campbell is a box to box midfielder who is two footed, technically good and can get about the park better than most.

Keep him and give him a chance in his rightful position.

That midfield has just got its 2nd manager the sack in 3 months, Campbell is all effort and little ability, Newell and JDH are two players who never get forward and create, Cadden and Doig are better but they need help.

I'd get rid of all three in the middle, i'm just sick of seeing them three pass the ball about with such negativity, and letting the opposition stroll back into position.

Pat McGinlay was an excellent passer and was prolific in front of goal. Campbell is neither.

He absolutely is not a Pat McGinlay type. I think he had roughly one season where he didn't reach double figures. Campbell is on one goal this season.

As for being technically good? His inability to control a ball has cost us at least two goals this season.

On top of that, he constantly hides and doesn't want on the ball.

Not good enough.

I said he had similar attributes to McGinlay and was being played OUT OF POSITION.

Yet you simply compared the goal returns for Pat who had a freeish role and Josh who is has been tied to the back four.

Helpful.

Mcginlay was a top scorer for us. You’re having a giraffe

Amen to that. Said a few weeks ago that Maloney’s insistence of deploying a formation that requires the use of Campbell and Wright would get him the sack so no surprise really. Lewis plays a blinder in the cup in CM, never seen again there until this weekend. Some bewildering picks/subs over the past few weeks.

Josh Campbell was excellent today. Full of drive and energy. What I like about him is that he's always wanting to get on with play as quickly as possible. He's got many positives about his game, in that he can play in many positions, is willing to get into the box and is not afraid to put the tackles in. Okay, he'll never be the silky skilful player that we probably all want to see, but he's good enough to play for the Hibees. And his goal, what a fantastic strike!

Let's hope he builds on today and puts in many more excellent displays for the Hibees.

Yes, I agree. Not been keen on him before this season but he's been very good against the diets and full fat huns. I thought he was MoM today. At the heart of the first goal and great strike for the 2nd.

[TAHibby]

Well done Josh, beautiful goal, keep going.

Agree, not everyones cup of tea but gives his all and doesnt hide, what he lacks in guile he sure makes up with his graft, do we need better, yep, but I think he is worth keeping, as you say, he is versatile

Still stand by this?

[allezsauzee]

I've been of the opinion that Josh wasn't good enough but he was excellent today even without his goal/ part in the other goal and I thought he played well against Hearts too so I hope he is proving me and many others on this site wrong.

[Stuarty1875]

Delighted for Josh.

Put in a really good performance today.
