My first look at Shankland since he has been making the headlines...he is certainly a good player. Strong,
Good in the air, took the ball well and decent
Movement ..will Get a good move - perhaps he lacks the pace to play at the highest level ..but could see him scoring goals wherever he goes

As the OP I have to say there was little between them today. Both took their goals well but were largely anonymous for most of the game. If Dodge had taken his chance at the end it may have swung it in his favour but keeper done well.
Onwards to the replay then to see if one of them can raise their game and win the tie or are they much of a muchness?

I’ve grown to really rate/like Doidge and he’s a good focal point for our attack. He’s not a natural finisher though and I think a Shankland or a Cummings type poacher gets a shot away much quicker with that late chance.
Not a criticism of Doidge, he does bring more to the team than just goals.

Both did little apart from Score. Thought Shankland a lightweight. Oh was that Doidge's first goal with the his foot that was not miss hit?

Doidge v Shankland
Although Shankland gets goals, he's heavy, lazy, pulls out of defensive duals, ducks out of heading long balls, slow with little acceleration, neither does he hold and link it well. His general play isn't good enough. The Championship isn't a good league quality wise this year which has helped him big time with his goals.
Doidge is clever, he takes up good positions in general play and drags defenders into areas they don't want to be. His movement is good and his hold up and link up play is excellent and he usually wins most things in the air. Every game he at least creates himself 2 or 3 chances which is probably on a par with Shankland.
Doidge is a better all round player in my mind and Shankland not worth the hype surrounding him.

One thing I'm certain of is if Shankland played for Hibs, this thread wouldn't exist.
And those talking him down here would be laughing/dismissing/being sarcy towards any poster who suggested we would be better off with Christian Doidge.

Took his goal well but apart from that offered little
Hibs to win the return leg......hopefully
IIRC was he not making good money as a Personal Trainer when he was in the lower leagues?Last edited by BILLYHIBS; 20-01-2020 at 11:38 AM.

Shankland would score a barrowload in this HIBS side

I've got no doubts that Doidge would score as much, if not more than Shankland against Alloa and Partick

Also, if you watch Kamberi's effort earlier, Doidge (two yards out) sticks out his foot and misses it!!! Any touch and its a goal.
I'm afraid I just don't see what Doidge (other than winning balls in the air, especially defensive headers) brings to the team. Shankland would have 20 plus goals in this Hibs team with the chances Doidge has missed.

I say that as someone who wouldn’t mind seeing him at Hibs.

You actually think Shankland would have more goals at this point than guys like Stokes, Riordan, O'Connor, Killen and Fletcher got? I'll have what you're having

Who is the better signing: Doidge or Shankland?

Some Hibs fans are just not going to like Doidge, mind made up already. Even when he scores some just have to criticise him. Into double figures in January, I would say not bad for someone that has never played top league.

More goals will come for him.
We do need a wee ankle biter type though that gives no peace to defenders.

I’m back to thinking he will do all right for us. Expect somewhere between 15 and 20 goals which won’t be a bad return for his first season. When you add in the other things he can bring to the team, that adds up to a decent season.
I don’t normally agree with comments about folk just not liking a player. I always think that, deep down, we all want Hibs players to do well. But there has even been criticism of him for the way some of his goals crossed the line!

For the record, at no point did I say Shankland would have more goals than the players you introduced into a debate on Doidge v Shankland.
Perhaps you should stay off whatever your having.

However, I fully agree about his fresh air swipe. Shankland would have scored that.
Also, would Shankland have scored Dodgie's goal if put in the same position by Boyle? I think almost certainly yes.
Would Dodgie have scored Shankland's goal if put in the same position? I think almost certainly not. Would not have had the same balance and composure.
That said, Dodgie has def improved and been worth his place in the team recently. Not something I would have said 2-3 months ago.

Thought Doidge did pretty well yesterday and Shankland did well with the little service he had. The question for me is would Shankland have scored more than the single goal given Doidge's opportunities. I think he might. Doidge's miss/Keeper's save late on was a good example. Doidge was so slow taking his shot and allowed the Keeper to close the angle. I think Shankland scores that and possibly gets a touch on Kamberi's strike. We won't be buying Shankland as we have missed the boat and I hope Doidge keeps scoring and also performing as he did yesterday.

Every striker misses sitters. Same as every goalie makes mistakes. Very generic assessment of a player and ultimately quite useless. He's only missed one REAL sitter, vs St Mirren on the first day.
