And that doesn't mean he won't become amazing for us or that anyones written him off.. it means that in their opinion he hasn't been good so far and that's a perfectly understandable thing to be worried about.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I get what you mean though, basically you should be able to have doubts about a player without anyone challenging or discussing that.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

However, it will generally take players a lot less than 6 hours to show something if they’re actually any good. Fans know enough about football that it doesn’t take that long to spot a good player. I can’t think of many players who have been ganting in their first few appearances like people are saying Newell has (I’m just taking folks word for that for the most part of course) who have turned it round.

I would say he was possibly our best player today but to a lot of folk standing around me he was a source of amusement, ironic cheers and laughter whenever he did anything good.
He’s not as good as what he was but he’s nowhere near as bad as some people make out. He deserves more respect than he was getting from some idiots today.
Some of the folk giving him stick were probably late teens, struck me that they probably won’t even remember that he was a very good player for us in his first spell.

It is early days and hopefully the new boys will find their stride. What is perhaps worrying is the all eggs in lower league English players basket approach to a signing strategy.
Hopefully Ojo will be pish for the Dons and we will sign some quality for the defensive mid.

Folk should remember that he's not picking himself, ifbthey have an issue with it at least aim it at the coach.

Have to agree with others so far Newell hasn't impressed, I'm not sure what he really brings to the team.
Early doors obviously so hopefully he improves, the least he could do is bust a gut for his first competitive game for Hibs and our first of the season...

On todays performance he isn’t even worth a place as back up.
Shaw/Murray would put in in far more effort for the team than he did today.
I know it is early days for him with the Hibs but he will need to do an awful lot better than today to merit a starting place in the team.

Honestly though, an example I'll give is around this time last season in a European game. (Runavik I think)
I posted a thread about Mallan, highlighting that he hadn't stood out as much as McGinn, Mcgeouch or Allan did in their first few games and that I was having doubts about his general ability (goals aside).
I was greeted with the above and accusations of being a troll.
One poster in particular simply replied "wow". Followed by another post in which, I think, he was questioning my eyesight.
Around 4/5 months later and a majority of posters on this messageboard were saying a lot worse than I had about him and the poster mentioned above was absolutely scathing in his criticism of Mallan (on twitter by this point, having secured a bosman)
I was absolutely buzzing for Stevie to be brilliant and admittedly he didn't turn out too badly in the end (definitely with room for improvement) but I think by and large my comments are still true to this day.
And I still hope he'll be as good as either of those guys now.Last edited by The_Horde; 13-07-2019 at 08:21 PM.

I suspect if we’re to see the best of him he will start the season on the bench which might help take the heat off him for the time being as well.

Dylan was Aberdeen’s first choice because he is tried and tested in the SPL. We know what we are going to get.
The signings so far are all from the championship and lower, and considering the comments so far it doesn’t seem that they are setting the world on fire. Ojo is is a similar standard to our signings, so for me this makes Dylan and absolute no brainier and I think PH needs to reconsider.
Even if Dylan has signed at Sunderland for another season, it sounded like previously he was open to come back to Scotland.
After today’s performance he sounds like the missing link
