Yup. Not good enough. He’s had two seasons to get into the team and hasn’t managed it. And before anyone says he never gets a run to cement a place - there’s a reason he never gets that run.

Pretty much this............... IMHO

We have had about 4 consistent good players for the last 2 years. They tend to get sold. Slivka has done more than enough to command a place in our squad.

I’d be disappointed if we didn’t bring another midfielder in and went with slivka which is probably most peoples feelings.

[Northernhibee]

On last night I’d want us to keep Shaw. Heckingbottom works on his confidence he’ll score a fair few IMO.

I have no idea what you saw last night to suggest that he Will score a bundle of goals, as he done nothing apart from screwing a ball over the bar from 6 yards out.

We'll struggle to find a midfielder as technically gifted as slivka to come and sit on our bench, especially on our budget.

He shouldn't be first choice but is a perfectly fine option off the bench and for back up IMO.

But we most definitely wouldn’t struggle to find one more physically gifted. His physical abilities let him down so much that his technical ability is hardly ever on show.

Personally still think Shaw could come good but the other two are not good enough.

Agree with the other two but Slivka deadwood? No way imo. He's a good player and will do a job for us this season if he's given the chance.

So will Doidge if given a proper chance.

He scored my favourite goal of last season (the one where he started the move in the right back position).

He’s inconsistent (and in and out of the team) but he’s got something. I don’t think we’ve seen the best of Slivka, and not convinced we ever will, but I’d take a chance.

Entitled to your own opinion of course, I know you’re one of his biggest fans on here. What is it you see in him? I see a guy who’s short passing can be very hit and miss, more than the other guys we have had in the middle of the pitch. Someone else said the other day that he has an ability to turn a 70/30 ball in his favour into a 40/60 and I’d agree with that at times, he just seems to lack any real ability to put a stamp on a game on a regular basis, whether that’s through winning tackles, scoring goals or assisting.

He’s by no means a bad player and he’s had some good moments at Hibs but they’ve just been nowhere near frequent enough imo. Danny Swanson was the same and he never got the luxury of 2 full seasons and possibly even a third to try and establish himself in the team. Not many players do.

Slivkas more than good enough for the squad

As a Slivka critic I would agree

I would also suggest that the money we are paying him would be better used towards someone who was more than good enough for the team

Exactly but the way some would go on you would think we dont need anymore than the starting 11 players at the club, we need a squad and slivka is more than good enough to be part of that

Guess it depends what we are paying him

Certainly no one coming through that could take his place

Forced their RB into mistakes and caught out their offside trap a few times. With confidence and his goals per minute ratio he had a place to play this season.

[Ozyhibby]

People will defend Slivka right up until the day Heckingbottom bins him, and then say it’s a good decision, and it’s been clear he wasn’t cutting it.
It was the same with Milligan last season. And Oxley before that.

Before anyone tells me otherwise, I know full well the work in the background is in full swing on the transfer front. It just feels like it's stopped as so much focus on the takeover and rightly so - the rumour page for signings has dried up a bit.
Not long until competative action and we are sorely missing a couple of box to box midfielder/defensive midfielder and a striker. No doubt Omeonga, Ojo and McNulty are the No. 1 targets but not sure if any will pan out now.
Any other names in the frame?

On that basis he should get an extended contract.

[K-Zazu]

I thought the Ojo deal was dead?

[weecounty hibby]

He should be a first team starter by now. He’s not good enough just to keep in a squad.

So by that logic we should have a squad of 11. He is a decent player and good enough to be in our squad of players.

[K-Zazu]

Would rangers loan us Mcrorie??

You forgot the bit when he moves on and has a pretty average career, then becomes available again and could do a job. His previous career at Hibs miraculously turns him in to Pele and we start creaming ourselves at the thought of him returning

Publicly yeah but I think we still might be keen pending other moves and him and S****horpe sorting something out

Will Rangers not maybe start to do business with us that is in their best interests now that our regime has changed?

The issue with this deal (and anything else between the 2 clubs in recent years) is that we've been close to their level - by loaning us McRorie they might be strengthening a rival.

Any need?

[SRHibs]

Slivka is clearly just forgettable. He had a long string of games where the consensus was pretty much that he had been one of our best players, yet one 'meh' game and we revert to whipping out the clichés about him "not grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck" or "putting his stamp on the game".

Not into giving valuable game time to one of their players. If they want to sell him to us then fine but not a loan.

Think I would prefer Docherty.

Think McCrorie is off down south

Surely it depends on what impact he has for us?

I'd take their entire youth team for a year if it got us 3rd in the league and the Scottish Cup.

Giving certain Celtic players some experience worked out ok for us?
