Nah, I just don't see the point in discussing who will be here in over a years time. If Ross is here he may want to keep most of these players and add new ones, but a year in football is a long time and we have no idea what may happen, if Ross does leave a new manager may want his own players in.

If the thread is about personal opinion re these players, well that's another thing but the OP said which of those 12 do you think Ross will keep.

I agree

He's had a few good games, a few bad, and a few average just like most of the seasons he's been with us. He's a solid enough defender but I think it's time for a change. At the end of the day it will be Jack who decides, a year is a long time in football

He has had significantly more good than bad. The only real reason you think its time for change is he has been here a while? Aye, hes been here a while for good reason. Because he is a very good player at this level.

I'm sorry if my opinion seems to upset you, I just happen to feel it's time for a shake up at the back. Rocky will be off, looks like Doig will replace Stevenson, I think over 10 years is more than a while and it's time to move on.

So basically just the time thing again? It's not a reason to replace a player at all. Hanlon has been very good this season.

Not every game he hasn't, nowhere near it. But we'll agree to disagree, I'll give you the final word

Turning the thread on it's head.
At the end of next season only 7 players in the 1st team squad will be under contract .
They are the saleable assets who may have been sold by then so conceivably this number could be lower than 7
This 7 excludes Gray and McGregor who should be retired from playing


The Magnificent 7
Nisbet
Porteous
Doig
Newell
Cadden
Magennis
Boyle

Why should Gray and Mcgregor be retired? Mcgregor has been just fine when he has played this season and was arguably our best defender in the games he did play

He’s been our most consistent player this season. Hard to argue otherwise.

Imagine Barcelona moving on Messi because he had been there too long. Aye, he's still playing well but he's been here too long is a crazy argument. Unless we can get better in PH should stay. As with Lewis/Doig there will be a time where a better player is available but not just because he's been here for 10 years

Wouldn't say he has tbh. He's had a few shockers.

Time to move on from him. Done with any pace running at him and we can do better. He's a leader by example type.

I'd say Marciano, Paul McGinn or Newell have been more consistent than him.

Mackie is an interesting player.
Looked fast and strong when he played earlier in the season before being stopped in his tracks by injury again.
In the meantime Doig has managed lots of game time and has cemented himself in the team as Stevensons successor.
Hopefully he is ready to play again and can play in the early round of the Scottish Cup..
Injury rather than a lack of ability appears to stand between Sean Mackie and a good football career.
Hope he can catch a break.

Yep, totally agree with this. It must've been a bad one as well, there have been a few games when Doig wasn't playing and Stevenson's been drafted in. I really rate Mackie but if he is injury-prone it's hard to see how he would push the other 2, particularly Doig, for a starting place.

If he was half the player you think he is he would be some player. His time at Hibs is coming to an end along with a few others.

So Scott Allan is now cup-tied and already running the show for Inverness. Unbelievable.

He literally cannot play for Hibs again this season so no, he isn't cup tied. He can only play for Inverness.

He didn’t run the show for Inverness but played tidily and got 70 minutes. We need more than that for the rest of the season and I expect we’ll get it from Scott next season.

Take a minute or two to engage the gray cells......

Now, come back and tell us if he is "cup tied".........

He's capable of too many basic errors for me, you only have to look at their goal against us last night, that was a teenage left back he was up against not a Morelos or an Edouard, and the boy waltzed past him because he sold himself too early in the tackle.

He's been a great servant to the club but I personally think we can do better at this stage in his career, another contract would be one too many imo.

I’m glad it’s not up to you. Jack Ross, just like every other manager we’ve had will have him as one of the first names on the team sheet.

The young lad for them skinned Hanlon for the goal. If Doig did it for us to another teams defender, we’d say it was brilliant play, but when it happens against us, it’s cos Hanlons time is up?

Defence has been as solid this year as it has for a long time. Hanlons been the best part of it.

He's far from running the show for them. He got 70 minutes against a poor Ross County and competed fairly well but was nowhere near running the show.

Jack prioritised other areas of the park when he came in, I'm sure he's going to be looking at the defence next season, time will tell my friend.

We’ll sign a centre half. 100%. Probably sign 2 if Porteous leaves.

It’ll be Hanlon and another who plays.

[The Count]

I was a McGinn supporter from the start.I also think think Hanlon has been a good servant for Hibs.However the question has to be how do we improve as a team next season and to that end would O Donnell and Gallacher both available on free improve us ??? Just asking the question not sure myself but good teams do evolve.

And he made about 40 great tackles during the rest of the game. .. He remains our best defender. If we can get better then we should - but their isnt a better LCB in our range right now.

I like both those players, but the 2 of them make up half of a Motherwell defence who’ve conceded 20 more goals than us this season. That’s with a very good centre mid in Campbell ahead of them tae.

We’re too quick to criticise our own team, even when they’re doing well.

[The Count]

It was not meant as a criticism of our current team.Next season we will probably be playing in europe along with our domestic games.Hence we will will need a more in depth squad to handle all these games and injurys.Too many people just look at the starting 11 and not the squad.I. was not saying get rid of Hanlon and McGinn i was looking at making our squad stronger.

With his complete lack of match fitness, Scott Allan at this moment in time wouldn't dislodge Irvine, Newell from the team.

If he gets games under his belt, gets his touch and confidence back at ICT and comes back next season with a pre season, ready to challenge for a first team space then everybody wins.

Our current team is more than good enough to successfully conclude the season (as has been shown by our league position) and if Scott Allan going on loan to ICT means that we're even stronger next season, then doesn't that kind of mean that everybody wins?

I really, really don't see your point or your indignation over this non-issue at all.

You really blame just hanlon for the goal? Dreadful from all defence and midfield. A centre back should not be left 1 on 1 30 odd yards from goal. Pauls best option was what he did. Straight red if he catches him.

[Since452]

I can't see Ross wanting to move on too many players who are currently running away with 3rd and have a great chance of reaching both cup semis. It's not a big squad. We'll need a much bigger one if we're going to be playing Thursday/Sunday for much of the first half of next season

I'm not blaming anyone per say, but I do think Hanlon could have stood up and tried ushering him sideways or whatever, as I said it was a teenage left back he was facing not an experienced attacker.
The best teams in the world can leave their defence exposed from time to time, an experienced defender will usually deal with it better than Paul did last night. I'm not as big a fan of him as you and some others, I think we can do better for the future is all I'm saying.

Agreed, roasted for the goal and with any pace running at him. We can do better and should move on from Hanlon.
