But I disagree that his form has been very good this season. It’s been pretty patchy, he’s had a few decent games but also had a couple poor games. Livi game was the worst I’ve seen from him in a good while, as it was for the whole team

Lewis as a player doesnt go past defenders now and so the back pass is too often predictable. Defensively prone to get into trouble these days. Dont know how useful Lewis is in a coaching role but as a player ww are not very strong with him in the side but you could argue the two young left backs
are not as all round as good as he was when he broke into the team.

I think Lewis’ time is sadly coming to an end. Let him leave as a legend and spend a couple of seasons at Raith or the pars.
I think we will keep Newell and I think Marciano will go due to a larger offer.

Additionally, Mackie replaced Slivka yes but he played wide left. A difficult place to run the show. Watch the highlights back, I may be wrong but I recall that game quite fondly.

I think Newell and Marciano will leave, Stevenson will most likely get a new contract as I think Mackie will also be released.
United we stand here....

Stevenson was back then what he is now, just younger. Tidy, gritty but never had the greatest of natural ability. He would need to be on very little wages (Whittaker style) for us to give him a new contract.

Lewis is more defensively minded than Doig or Mackie so that alone should get him another year. He is still fairly injury free and has had some very good games this year. He has also stated a few times that he isn't on a big wage compared to some so why take the risk or bringing someone else in who might cost more and be less effective when the plan should be to get the best out of the two younger players.

Bullied thing was true, about 8 years ago.
Converted midfielder? Pish. Quality defender more like.
Really decent passer, scores a decent share of goals, very good in 90% of games, bizarrely singled out when the team plays poorly because he isn't a blood and snotters yogi type.
Its not exactly our problem. Hanlon has been part of a really solid defence this season that has had a stinker of a week.

Looks like you're arguing for the sake of it, as you can't possibly think Mackie is as good as Lewis was. Certainly won't be playing him at centre mid in the cup final if we get there and want to win it but bash on.

Lewis definitely should be given another year. Mackie is still yet to consistently prove himself at Hibs and although looked good before his injury he's been missing since and Lewis has stepped in.
Doig is still VERY young and has been brilliant, be he's also been ran ragged in some games and needed taken out the firing line. I think we're definitely seeing the beginning of the end for Lewis but he still has a lot to offer us around the club as a pro and as a back up.

Sean has far more ability than Stevenson did and does, he’s more athletic, he’s quicker, he’s got a better delivery and strike, he’s not as good defensively. Stevenson won’t be playing in front of either of them in the semi or the final coming up either if we want to play our best side.

I think Sean is your mate as he's not shown that he has the ability many times in the last few years. He certainly won't be the answer to finishing 3rd consistently if that's our aim. Neither is Stevenson I agree.

Mackie hasn’t shown ability in 3 years? Apart from games against Rangers at Ibrox, Celtic at Easter road etc. He’s been unfortunate with injuries but to say he’s not shown ability is a tad mental.

Going to be utterly gutted when the day comes that Lewis Stevenson is no longer a Hibs player.

Addressing the rise of Doig and Mackie Stevenson said: “It was always going to happen at some point.
"I'm 32 now and I don't think there are many 32-year-old full-backs in the Scottish Premiership but I genuinely feel physically as good as I have in years.
"When I have stepped in this season I think I've done alright but Sean and Josh have done brilliantly this season.
"Maybe it is time for somebody to come through and play more games but whenever I'm required I'll give it my best.”
Taken from the EEN last month, Lewis knows he's at the end portion of his career and understands the youngsters will take over. The consummate professional will be great for at least another year to help these young lads grow, he's still very fit but I expect him to eventually go into coaching like McGregor and Gray.

If money is as tight as we are led to believe I wouldn't be giving Stevenson a new deal. Great career but we are now at the stage where we can live without him on and off the field.
