Midfield

[Hibiza]

We've not had a decent midfield for 5 years probably more , obvious . Breaks my heart , why don't the imposter a at the top see it .

Newell man of the match again ? As much of a joker as the so called manager

Sponsors MotM was given to Levitt apparently

JDH, Campbell, Newell midfield 3 next week anyone😳😂

It's probably a better option than the Newell, Triantis and Kwon offering. Kwon, in particular, has to be the biggest waste of space since, er, Triantis.

Levitt played well. Don’t think he missed a pass and generally tried to go forward. I think he’s our best option for taking a ball deep and breaking through a press that all teams now seem to do to us.

Hi did quite well but doesnt even fancy a 60/ 40 in his favour challenge never mind a 50/ 50

[JJP]

Is it just me or does Kwon seem to get worse every week? He was brutal in that first half.

[Keith_M]

Hibs can't score and can't defend.

There's a lot more at fault than the midfield

Seems to be a common theme at Hibs - we make players worse.

They go to other clubs and often do better.

[The Modfather]

Was Kwon an ill thought out opportune signing? He seemed to sign out of the blue following playing Celtc. I wonder if we asked them who they were willing to loan us.

Not anything wrong with that in itself, however given we wanted Triantis all window, tried to sign McCowan and Newell was given a contract, captaincy and is one of Grays undropables. Why did we need to sign another two players similar to Newell?

Gray has the same blind spot when it comes to how to set up a midfield all the predecessors he has worked under. Which once again will be a major factor in his sacking.

[truehibernian]

Any midfield with Joe Newell as a regular, and a rookie centre half is not a good midfield - I’m more concerned there’s zero possibility of our manager spotting a creative midfielder if he walked past with a sign saying “I’m a creative midfielder” and that our club isn’t developing those players regularly via the academy.

Newell should have been punted 2 years ago - as for the plethora of utterly utterly bland sub-standard “safe” midfielders we have on the books - that’s on recruitment and our completely inept owner(s).

[B.H.F.C]

When I watch our midfield and think back to the garbage that was spun about why we only went after McCowan, it makes me really angry.

Joe Newell being made captain of our club and getting another contract extension also makes me angry.

Thought Kwon showed some early promise but is turning in to another nothing player. Not necessarily all bad players but when you sign individuals without any thought about how they fit together, you’re not getting the best out of anyone.

Agreed. Cannot fathom why we gave him a new 3 year deal when we can clear the decks in the summer.
Terrible decision

The thing is Kwon looked good for St Mirren and absolutely ran us off the park in that horrible 3-0 game we played. It was, on paper, a smart signing for us to pick up. But as someone else said he's getting worse every week and that for me shows that the coaching isn't up to standard at all because the guy is better than what he's showing at the moment.

[LaMotta]

No idea who will be in charge next time we play, but Nicky Cadden and Levitt both should be starting.

I think he was pretty poor to start with and it has stayed that way. He is terrible at tracking his man into the box. Cost us again today. I'd play Levitt and JDH ahead of him

[Nicho87]

Kwon absolutely dreadful

Triantis hopeless

Joe Newell — prob another extention Monday

Clowns

[DaveF]

The Saints 88 (Killian Phillips) was absolutely everything our midfield was not. Powerful, athletic, physical in the challenge and gave his absolute all for his team.

A 22 year old kid on loan from Palace.

Yep. Totally up for getting stuck in. Like zero of our lot, unfortunately.

Teams with decent midfield protect the defence & support the attack

Ours midfield plays hide & seek and makes life impossible for the defence & attack

I’m not a fan of Levitt but he did more when he came on yesterday than our club captain has down for weeks.

Surely he deserves a chance alongside Kwon and Triantis to see what he can do. Cannot be any worse than what we have witnessed so far.

Again N Cadden too.

I wouldn't have Kwpn anywhere in the team. Heart of a mouse and better at doing nothing than Newell.

You’re probably right tbh. Triantis has been pretty poor too.

Ever since Newell came back in. Our lack of CAM is absolutely killing us, we are stuck with a group of midfielders who play it super safe/can’t turn and drive.

[GreenCastle]

We are better off without Newell - it’s not rocket science.

He slows the game down - he has too much influence and doesn’t make tackles or track back enough. Not saying the others are the way forward long term but he’s been an issue for too long and one of the many issues with the club right now.

Have no idea how he’s even going to be near the team in next couple seasons with his extended contract.

[The Modfather]

Newell & Campbell starting games as 2/3rds of our midfield heading into 2025. Grays answer to building a new midfield was to re-unite the 3 who finished 8th last season. I’m now convinced we’re all in purgatory.

[theonlywayisup]

Today, IMO, confirms we need more creativity and energy in midfield. Newell and Triantis are solid and have been good in the last few games, but we need better. The back-ups are poor. I hope we're going to address that in this transfer window.

[Gmack7]

We should be going for Cameron of Dundee, very clever player

Levitt looked a very clever player. We need to splash on a leader of proven ability.

Such a Kwon-man

[Tambo]

Kwon started off well in his first few games, definitely has regressed in performances and another I wouldn't care if we sent back to his parent club.

[B.H.F.C]

Campbell in games like that where you need to put a foot on the ball and play is no good. Pittodrie and Tynecastle where it’s a fight, it’s trying to get on the end of things is fine. We so badly need a bit of creativity.
