Apparently, Damour is at Le Mans as well. My new favourite French team for taking them off our hands. They really want to drive round the circuit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of style I remember him being fast and a decent dribbler but I probably saw him play twice if you’re lucky. I recall him being decent against us in one Edinburgh derby, sure he hit an absolute hammer of a shot that Marciano touched onto the bar but that’s about it. Mitchell had talent but probably suffered from not really having a position. Played as a full-back in his first spell and looked great initially before starting to show a few defensive frailties. In his second season I think he mostly played on the wing and just wasn't effective there at all. Maybe he'd be good as a LWB which I assume is where Hibs plan to use him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Mitchell was good first spell, not so good the second time. He played left back a lot which never really suited him as he couldn't defend very well, but he was good going forward. Good dribbler and liked a dig. I quite liked him, so wouldn't want to see him at Hibs, but he's also not much better than decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect so, Maloney seems pretty insistent on 3-4-3 so I suspect he’d either be LWB or possibly slightly forward, time shall tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgie greatness Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 DM is a winger turned wing back, I didn’t think he was good defensively. Partial to shitting out a 50/50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Mitchell was great in his first spell, but I'd completely forgotten that he had a second spell I've not seen much of him at Blackpool, so no idea how he's moved on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Post hoc ergo propter hoc" has never been more applicable. He wasn't even starting games before he got injured. I was actually amazed he played as many games as he did in that second season. I don't remember him doing anything at all aside from that Auchinleck game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Reese Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Can't be arsed with the state of the match thread, so posting here instead. I thought Simms looked bloody good. He's got the pace and skill to not fall foul of the hammer throwers up here who just used to wrestle with Uche and get him booked/force him to dive. Big strong lad, but swift and good technique. Very impressed. More like Osman Sow in style, than Uche, just with a bulkier physique. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's immediately evident though that despite being a big guy, he's humpty in the air. So it'd be great if we could not resort to hoofing it to him when we are under pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully its something we do far less of against most opposition. He looks nippy though, so I could see him getting on the end of Haring's cross-field switches, or latching on to through balls from Boyce, McKay etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Robbie was saying there's no way we'll be selling Souttar after injuries to Smith and Halkett - possibly some bluster in there, but there must also be some truth in it.? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfortable with that. I'm sure they've got a couple of players they could move quickly for, if Rangers did come in with the sort of money that would make him change his mind, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnHearts Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Chuffed to bits with the return of Toby Sibbick. Will be an outstanding addition. Please bookmark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Pleasantly surprised by that signing, especially with it being permanent. Hard to judge him based on his last spell but he looked promising then and he was a regular for Barnsley in their play-off run last season. Seems he suffered from the managerial change in the summer and a lot of their fans aren't happy about this. He played RCB for Barnsley so I'd guess that's near enough confirmation that Souttar is off this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Delighted with that. Looked a good player in his brief spell before, is only 22 and has a lot of experience at a decent level. Barnsley fans all say he was improving constantly as well and most seem gutted to see him go which is a good sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think he only played 2 games for us when on loan, but I thought he was magic - delighted with that signing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
