Joe Newell will definitely go down as a player we wish we appreciated more while we had him. I'd probably even put him ahead of Dylan McGeouch as a general better player in that midfield role and folk would have brought him back at all costs for years after he left and failed elsewhere. The difference is Joe never had John McGinn beside him.

Loved McGeough tae, but Newell the better player.

For me Newell should be our deepest midfielder playing the McGeough deep lying playmaker role, or not play him at all. IMO the role he plays between a deeper midfielder and a more advanced midfielder is the key to the midfield and a position that needs energy, drive and athleticism, which isn’t Newell’s game.

Had to read this twice to make sure I got what I thought you were saying CH, your posts are usually good too.
JN cannot protect a ball in any way close to DM nor can he pass a ball anywhere as good as DM.
JN puts in decent corners and free kicks but please lets no compare him to DM

NMW was hooked against RC, and we were much better without. Daft red card Vs Huns as well.

Joe’s ability to drive with the ball and take men on, his tackling, and his long passing are all probably something I would say was better than McGeouchs. I also think Newell tends to be riskier with his passing in the final third which can be either a positive or a hindrance depending on your thoughts on our first goal on Saturday.
Where he falls short is he probably doesn’t recycle and move the ball quickly like DM and perhaps his reading of the game isn’t the same, I always thought DM was underrated at interceptions because his positioning was excellent.
My initial point wasn’t to tear down DM or anything like that, but more to say that I do genuinely rate parts of JN’s game very very highly.

BTW DM spent most of his time on the treatment table and yet still shot off at the end of his contract. Newell loves this club.

Played with much better than Joe ever has at Hibs. Both quality players in a Hibs shirt.

My issue with Newell is the same with a lot of this Hibs team - consistency (or lack of).
I've seen Newell boss games and put on 10/10 performances. I understand at our level finding someone to do that week in, week out is nearly impossible but there are far too many times we have far too many players on the pitch who are having an off day, end Joe is definitely part of that problem.
File Marcondes, Boyle Youan and the whole defence in that category as well.
We have some talented players but far, far too many of them are not playing to their potential game after game.

Saying that he has plenty strengths also, one being an eye for a quick pass and a wand of a left foot.
Hard to compare him Dylan as I think Dylan had better quality players around him. We had a proper midfield back then that was a joy to watch.

McGeouch was brilliant at keeping the ball moving and the master at controlling the pace and tempo of a game not perfect by any means reminded me of a Barry Ferguson or a young Ray Wilkins perhaps could have done with scoring more but had others in the team that could do that
Scored a cracker against Aberdeen at Hampden following a neat one two with Grant Holt before limping off with a pulled hammy
What I have seen so far this season I am far from Newell’s biggest fan ( said on another thread I just don’t trust him) but would go with JN, NMW Triantis and AN Other
The AN Other is the problem it is now April and we still do not know our strongest teamLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 09-04-2024 at 06:20 AM.
