Joe Newell

***yerauldda*** · 12-02-2020 08:50 PM

What a player. Asked to play another different position tonight and he was excellent. He’s as good defensively as he is going forward. An integral part of this team.

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 12-02-2020 08:53 PM

Excellent tonight. Rarely going to beat a man but he strolled it tonight.

***Vault Boy*** · 12-02-2020 08:55 PM

It was a different challenge for him but he did well to meet it. Good to know we'd have an emergency cover at left back if pushed for it.

**Steve88** · 12-02-2020 09:11 PM

Don't get carried away with Joe Newell on the wing. As the man said himself and as his performances under PH illustrated he is NOT a winger.

Against better opposition he would get found out in that position.

Fantastic footballer in the middle of the park though! Really like the guy

**Pretty Boy** · 12-02-2020 09:14 PM

I said after his performance at Ibrox in the 6-1 defeat that he was hiding and a coward. It's probably a lesson in both not making snap judgments and being willing to admit you are wrong.

Guy has been asked to play a variety of roles this season and has stepped up to the plate in each of them. It's obvious what his best position is but he gives 100% wherever he is asked to play. Looking forward to really see him kicking on next season with a bit more of a settled team around him.

***J-C*** · 12-02-2020 09:15 PM

Did a job tonight but wasted out wide, there's a clever player there.

**Fratelli** · 12-02-2020 09:24 PM

Superb corners resulting in 2 goals and other near misses.

Integral part of the team now.

***hibee_girl*** · 12-02-2020 09:26 PM

His corners are fantastic. He played really well tonight too

Agree with this, although I think playing at LWB rather than as a proper winger really helped him. He's become a surprisingly effective defensive force for us recently. Playing in the wingback role gave him more room to run into (therefore not obviously exploiting his weakness of playing out wide) and it allowed him to display his defensive attributes, whilst remaining composed on the ball.

He is very clearly a central midfielder though.

Was asked to do a job for the team and did it well. Never a winger in a million years, there were a couple of occasions tonight when he had it down the left and it broke down. Not a criticism of him, just highlights how badly Heckingbottom used him. Great delivery from corners too.

***Northernhibee*** · 12-02-2020 09:53 PM

A very skilful player.

**B.H.F.C** · 12-02-2020 09:53 PM

No sure it’s his long term position but liked the fact that he always wanted to pass the ball forward.

hfc rd · 12-02-2020 10:23 PM

Yet again another brilliant performance tonight.

Personally find it crazy! From being branded various names earlier in the season like coward, imposter etc to now putting in yet again another very good performance as a LWB and pretty much has cemented himself as one of the first names on the team sheet.

It’s crazy how he’s turned his Hibs career around and most of all, I don’t think we’ve seen the absolute best of him.

Strangest thing is that I don’t think you could blame people for thinking that of him. He looked like he didn’t want to make a tackle, run, show for the ball, absolutely nothing. Now he’s looking an excellent player.

***Carheenlea*** · 12-02-2020 10:29 PM

It’s not the position to get the best from him, and lacks the pace to play wing back for me. A more than decent stop-gap though in what was a forced team reshape due to personnel available.

**1875Sean** · 12-02-2020 10:30 PM

He must be on a few assists now from those corners

**hibsboy69** · 12-02-2020 10:31 PM

Joe Newell.........sexy b&stard

Get him on the Pens by the way

Baller

**Shrekko** · 12-02-2020 10:38 PM

A lovely footballer .... Hibs should always have players like him.

Anyone else old enough to think he bears a striking resemblance facially to Gordon Smith?

**HoboHarry** · 12-02-2020 11:44 PM

My hearing isn't the best and when the Hibs TV guy said Joe Newell I thought he said John O'Neil. Thought I was in a ferking time warp.......

**sean04** · 13-02-2020 05:37 AM

Lovely 1st touch, good footballing brain and does the dirty work well. Going to be an important player for us now

The transformation in Joe, Jackson and Doidge post Hecky is incredible. Just shows the difference a manager who actually has a clue can make

**sean04** · 13-02-2020 07:49 AM

How many assists he got now?
2 last night, sure he had a couple against Dundee Utd. Making a big impact

Aye our joe is a handsome man, got a bit man crush lol

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 13-02-2020 09:22 AM

Amazing how the likes of Doidge, Jackson and Newell have kicked on since PH left. No coincidence.

***Northernhibee*** · 13-02-2020 09:28 AM

Heckingbottom has a notably better eye for a player than his predecessor. Just a shame he didn't know how to coach or play them that well.

The past manager had enough of a clue to buy them. Give him a little bit of credit....

**FilipinoHibs** · 13-02-2020 10:27 AM

He looks assertive and confident. Good man management from Jack and Potts.
