Girth Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 How did Maloney get a reasonably decent gig!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, and I don’t just mean the strips, the Wigan job right now is probably on par with the Kilmarnock job. I don’t think it’s that decent a gig although as a popular ex-player you’ve got an advantage over others that apply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hibs job came too soon for him. but as a player he's a bit of a legend at Wigan. However that won't necessarily make him a decent manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Was excited when Boro signed him in the summer, but unfortunately looks very raw and was miles off the pace for English Championship level in the short cameo appearances he got. Hopefully does well and gets a solid run of games as there is definitely potential there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Our back four is going to have Hanlon/Stevenson in it for another half a season. A spectacular job on the recruitment front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So this is the squad for the rest of the season. Red text = probably won't see any more of them this season Question mark = injured but it's unclear for how long Highlighted = players I think most fans would agree will either be too old/shite/unhappy/never available/on loans we're unlikely to be able to renew or sign permanently by the end of the season. Add/remove McGeady, Tait, Hauge, Kenneh as you like It's ehm not very good is it. And that's the team I'd hope we retain for next year (? = may not be able to keep/make loan permanent/ may not be worth it due to injuries/ may not want to stay as a squad player if we upgrade/others may think are too shite to persevere with) - probably harsh on McGeady as he doesn't look his age pace-wise. It's ehm not very good is it. Happy with the GKs, blood Johnson in the cups and bring in a random jobber to help with training. Happy enough with the forwards (massive caveats over us being able to keep 3/4 of the senior players ) - 2 good out and out CFs, 2 exciting youngsters to back them up and 2 good wide players who can cover centrally as well. Probably want at least 1 very good wide player. Defence and midfield is essentially the same thing we've been saying since about 2017 and 2018 respectively, it needs completely rebuilt. Probably need 3 out of 4 starting defenders, plus additional CBs. Happy enough with Magennis and Campbell as options as a box to box/10 type midfielder who gets goals in the box, a type of player that's really effective in this league and we rarely seem to have. Jeggs and Kenneh are I guess an OK couple of options as screening midfielders but I wouldn't be too chuffed if either plays a lot. Imo we need 2 or 3 additional midfielders who are either aggressive/smart players off the ball but can also pass more than 5 yards or playmaker types to replace Newall; with a couple of Newall, Tait etc leaving. So essentially 5 or 6 starters, plus 3 or 4 good squad players, required in the summer; and a lot of unattractive players to move on. New DoF will be busy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So essentially 5 or 6 starters, plus 3 or 4 good squad players, required in the summer; and a lot of unattractive players to move on. New DoF will be busy... Good effort with that. If we ended up with your preferred options in the second list I would be fairly chuffed as that would represent a decent spring cleaning with enough quality remaining to make the acquisitions fairly clear. GK: Fairly static, Marshal is good and Johnson appears to be rated. DF: Evidently we'll be needing some centre halfs. In the last two games Will Fish has played well enough, no option though as far as I'm aware so probably not worth discussing at this stage but one to keep an eye on. Probably the main area that needs investment. On the left I'd probably keep Stevenson as an understudy for McIntyre with a view to finding cover in the January if that doesn't work out. On the right Cadden is fine and good things are said about Megwa so maybe alright over there. MF: As much as I like Magennis I would look past him as he'll have been injured for the majority of his time here, shame but there's no evidence he can even play half a season. Hauge I don't think has a future here, especially if his pal Melkerson leaves. Tait hasn't really got much of a chance here but equally hasn't done too much on loan from what I'm aware of, but he has years on his contract and it'd be good to keep him around the squad as he's similar to Campbell in his versatility across the midfield. Someone on Hibsnet saying Jacob McIntyre is well regarded, and whilst I've heard nothing of Reuben McAllister since he was bought surely the (rumoured) outlay implies there's some pathway to the first team. Personally I'd keep Doyle-Hayes but not a hill to die on by any means. FW: Think we're well stocked here, again though I'd keep McGeady. Youann I've heard has an option to buy and on current form I'm slightly more convinced of the idea. If there was any chance at all to keep Kukharevych I'd go all out for it as I reckon he's the best suited to the league and can play up top on his own, allowing us to use our wingers. That said if not, and even if so, hopefully a chance for Laidlaw and O'Connor, although both are rumoured to want away in the Summer sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
