SPL team of the Season. Guess Who is in it from Hibs.

Usual suspects.

A Hibs player gets picked for a team of the season and the knockers choose to criticise rather than be happy for the player.

Based on stats it is a relevant selection, I take it Siegrist gets the nod over Mcgregor as he makes more saves.

I'm delighted for the boy don't get me wrong, I'd love to see big Daz's stats in the few games he's played for us. To me stats mean diddly squat.

Why would you love to see Daz’s stats if “stats mean diddly squat”?

The stats are available if you want them. To compare Daz and Hanlon.

Daz has been outstanding, way better than Hanlon imo, at 6.99 I think I'd be correct in saying stats mean diddly squat.

When it suits you, they mean diddly squat.

Daz hasn’t been better than Hanlon this season.

You can manipulate stats any way you want to, I happen to think Daz has been outstanding when played this season, better than Hanlon or Porteous, it's only my opinion my friend.

Fair enough mate. I love Darren Mcgregor! Wish he was a few years younger he’d be playing every week.

I’d agree. Although very limited in numbers, McGregors performances have been the best of all defenders in our squad imo.

I’d have Daz and Hanlon at CB in a heartbeat.

I think Daz has been outstanding too in the games he played, came in at a time when we were wobbling and steadied the ship.

As to whether he's been better than Hanlon or Porteous not in my opinion, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

My reasoning would be the number of games played by each of the three players tells its own story.

He's played 6 full games, and he's had some excellent performances when called upon this season. But you have clearly been shown why statistically Hanlon has been our best defender this season and one of the best in the league. It doesnt matter what you or I think. Thats not what the thread is about.

Well, I'm glad you are nowhere near picking the team. :)

Successful football teams these days use a large chunk of stats and "intuition" to pick players.

Stats meaning "diddly squat" in top level sport is just not true.

Daz has been great for us when called upon apart from the recent defeat vs Motherwell when he had a bit of a mare against their big striker and was correctly subbed. Hanlon has been an ever present and has been a stalwart in a successful defence. Sure he's made the odd error but has more than made up for them over the piece and has been a superb captain for us as to boot (all IMO naturally)

He's played about 5 games. Have you heard of sample size?

They mean so little that every club in the world uses them extensively.

Daz's stats are shown in the same report .... https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/320/...land-Hibernian

On the head to head Hanlon wins on every stat listed.

NB - agree that stats don't tell the full story. I would give Boyle my personal player of the season so far - squeezing home in front of Newell and Hanlon in that order - but he only comes in 10th according to their analysis.
