It's a close run thing between Newell and Campbell for our new scapegoat this season but I think Campbell might be edging it!

Not a single person has scapegoated either player. Try genuinely reading the discussion that is being had.

No scapegoating, just people having a grown up, mostly civilised, discussion about a players strengths and weaknesses on a message board.

I must have missed the post discussing Josh's strengths on here 😂

Are you trolling? Almost every single person has said he scores goals and works hard.

It’s not though is it. Some of the posters in denial about Josh using more and more abrasive posts in order to put the points across. Even though we have 5pages of denial about his passing ability. An exquisite through ball led to a goal that in turn led to an implosion of Josh isn’t very good. Strange,but the one poster who’s plastered all over this telling us time and again he’s crap at passing is pushing the narrative in people’s way regardless of how he performs.

If you’ve already said he’s not very good why would folk constantly feel the need to jump on folk for praising his performances,surely you’d be happy him doing well? Or is it more important to some to be right at all costs until we get rid of him? Silly behaviour really.

His passing has been mentioned far more than any of his strengths which with all due respect you of all people should know .

Probably because those strengths aren’t really up for debate. I don’t think anyone who has watched him play regularly would try and argue that he isn’t very hard working or a useful goal threat from midfield.

[BILLYHIBS]

I take it all back his defence splitting pass for Boyler’s goal on Saturday was just sublime Keep it up Josh !

You are literally just making things up post after post. Total lies

Which is why he's in the team under Gray for exactly what you say workrate and being a goal threat , being a goal threat is something all our other midfielders lack and is probably a weakness our team .

Josh is a decent player that offers us something different than our other midfielders do imo.

I only seen highlights of that goal and it was a cracker, I suppose the question then is (a) has he always had this in his capabilities but not been confident/lucky enough to execute properly till now, (b) is he working hard at improving his passing and this was the outcome of this training and his hard work, (c) did it rebound of his shin and then a divot to go the opposite way he meant but ended up looking good. I suspect that depending on each persons very static and stubborn view on Campbell's abilities all 3 will be suggested. Its good to celebrate the positive things players like Campbell does rather than pick holes on every touch as we seem to be doing more and more. lets just celebrate what we would have all been drooling over if it was a Scott Allen pass and hope there is more to come. I suspect as time goes on he needs to be more consistent with his passing, recognising it won't always work with passes like that, to stay in the team. I also suspect he knows that so top marks for going for it and lets wish him well and say lots more please.

[Se7enUp]

Josh has never let us down, he's closer to a McGinlay than any of the multiple failures we've watched in midfield in recent years. Yeah, there's better players out there, but so far in the Gordon era, we've been inept at finding any.

They're not valid. They're blatant lies.

I have no agenda, I've payed Josh plenty compliments on the things he does well, and I'm in denial about nothing.

I know he was talking about me because he's been posting the same thing in reply to me for 3 days. It tells no story other than that.

Watch this and read it carefully.

We are going to have to disagree here but in my opinion I agree with the poster that you have to be right about everything and anyone who say’s anything contrary to your opinion is immediately jumped on either with a laughing emoji or continual opposing comments.

[Allant1981]

Campbell is a decent player for our level, he will never be a world beater but is no where near as bad as some make him out to be, if he chips in with a few goals and assists this season this happy days, at the minute we have no other midfielder who will bust a gut to get into the box looking for a goal. I'm glad the ignore button is a function though based on some posts on this thread

So if I post something saying x, a person replies saying y and we have a perfectly grown up football discussion disagreeing, which this thread has largely been, what am I doing wrong?

I am not replying to myself here. Folk reply to me, I reply to them. Simple.

Then the clowns come along and make personal comments aimed at me, breaking forum rules and turning it into a shambles. That will be my fault too?

It’s not a perfectly grown up football discussion when you just say stuff like, “you are wrong.” “This is not true” you tend to reply with a lot of closed responses, which in my opinion isn’t a true discussion

That last line is true for all eh. Even Super Joe? It's the calling him out as poor passer that most challenged you on. He's not poor, hes just not great. You and Stubbsy then started going on about some mythical average with no stats behind it, and started adding in assists and all sorts of other non connected data, again with the only purpose being to build a negative case about the player.

So just to use your method of comms for once..... READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY.

Josh Campbell is not a poor passer but he certainly needs to improve on it. But he brings other abilities to the team which make him a valuable member of our squad.

The stats have been posted.

That's fine, it's your opinion. I've never disputed he adds other things. His passing is the poorest of our midfielders,though.

Joe has flaws in his game too. I've never said otherwise.

When folk are lying ill say it.

Opinions I don't just say are wrong, but stats can prove them to be untrue imo

Instead of spending 15 minutes reading ping pong posts, can everyone please watch this wonderful interview with Josh?

His honesty is palpable and he remains the same humble Hibby that joined us as a lad and went on multiple loans.

If your experience is the same as mine, I learned more about Josh in 15 minutes than I ever will re-reading all the fine points made on this thread.

Remember this poster was banned off the forum for a couple of months for arguing and getting personal, not learnt his lesson yet obviously. Like a dog with a bone and won't stop badgering until you either put on ignore, or just stop interacting.

[J-C]

Re Campbell, great work ethics, has an eye for goal but as has been pointed out his passing could be better but he'll know that. He's not the finished article but has shown great improvement, I'm delighted we have a true Hibby in the team.

Is there really any need for the repeated personal digs about another poster simply because they have a different opinion about a players strengths and weaknesses?
