I'd go as far as suggesting that bar the OF, all SPL teams would be highly jealous of the collection of individuals we have for midfield.
Gogic, Hallberg, Irvine, Murphy, Newell, Magennis, Allan, Mallan.
Gogic - does what it says on the tin.
Hallberg - strikes me as a versatile squad player as back-up, not a sure-fire starter.
The rest - file under inconsistent or flatters to deceive.
With that many decent footballers for midfield slots, it is inevitable that some will be unhappy at not getting enough game time. Could we offload two and use any fees and the combined wage to get one in who will be a significant upgrade and help us get the right blend?
Dunno who mind.

Irvine was supposed to be the crucial missing link who had the qualities to transform the midfield. A bit like McCrorie was meant to do or that Campbell would do too.
In reality he hasn’t done much more than any of the other players we’ve had playing in that position. Not sure he’d justify what he’d probably be looking for to stay.

Personally i'd like to keep hold of as many players that got us to 3rd and a cup final, most in their first season here. Good platform to build on.

Decent enough player but for the money I think we could do better or same for less. Need goals and a bit more creativity from our midfield in general.

My own opinion is that he contributed well enough, but never really stood out for anything in particular. He wasn’t a goal scoring threat, nor did he seem particularly robust in his play.
I reckon the side performed better in the 15 league games he played in than they did in the 15 immediately preceding his arrival and therefore my assumption is that he made us a better side without being all that clear about what he does best.Last edited by superfurryhibby; 28-05-2021 at 03:07 PM.

I think he covers a lot of ground, isn't afraid to get stuck in and, most importantly, is the player I always felt was willing to plant a pass at the feet of a running forward.
Him and Cadden made a really positive impact and he's been he had more good games than be has bad.
I'd say if we went back and averaged out the players scores from 'This is what it feels like' (because that imo is the most reliable source of impartial player ratings!) I'd bet he'd be a solid 7.5

I want to see more of Cadden. He's a big signing, but he never settled into the side, then scunnered by the injury.

Back on topic Jackson Irvine flatters to deceive, absolute passenger in recent games. Get rid and free a wage up. Couldn't hit a barn door wi a banjo.

We need midfielders who stamp their authority on a game, tackle like their lives depend on it, control the centre circle and have an eye for goal.
As much as I like an elegant player with an eye for a clever pass, Jackson is none of the above

In my opinion, Jackson Irvine is a terrific player. Industrious, skillful and always looking for the ball. Unfortunately, the chance that he was afforded in the final was missed, I rose out of my chair to celebrate the goal when it came to him but it was not to be. I hope its not the last time we see him in a Hibs jersey as he's definitely a player we'll miss.
