David Fernández Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 A defender that can cover right back and centre back is exactly what we need, ideally competition for Janny's position too. Played 9 times for Kelty last season, can't say I remember too much of him so a bit of an unknown quantity, but I'm sure they'll be able to fill you in on him on their forum. That's 3 loaness all signed from Hibs in the squad now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds02 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Happy with this. Experience clearly isn’t the issue with the defence so happy with a young hungry defender with hopefully a bit of pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Pleased with that, reads like a good bit of business anyway. More depth at right-back and centre-half was what we needed most IMO. A bit of pace in the defence would be grand and if he could potentially solve some of our problems out wide too then even better. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything given the step up but encouraging to hear that he performed well for Kelty last season, and first team football isn’t completely alien to him. Presumably he’ll be straight into the team on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDiamond Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 So he signed for KH on 04/03, the week before we hammered them 6-0. Watched it back, doesn’t seem like he played in that game? Great to see Gabbys goals and ‘that’ goal from CalGal. So don’t know why he was left out for that game unless he was injured? You would think he’d come on as a second half sub? I’d need to look up match but don’t see him in highlights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds02 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Hibs fans seem to think he should already be playing with the first team which is a good sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thediamonddude Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I personally had hoped that the next signing would be a natural LB; however, any kind of defensive cover/competition is most welcome at this stage and based on the noises from the Hibs fans, the lad could be a solid addition. I get that Cammy B has done well at LB but I personally think the assertion that he’s better there than his natural RB position is mad. We now have 3 RBs, 3 CBs and no LB - Hancock has said himself that he’s a CB, but can only assume the plan is to use him at LB in the long term. All of that being said, as we’ve discussed at length here, the market is tough and we’re after a very specific type of player that suits our style, so got to trust in Rhys and Dycey on this one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
