We are fortunate to have him playing for us. However there are some of our fans who were extremely critical of players brought to our club and were highly critical.

He is awful at everything bar his distribution and I think Robinson will be desperate to bring in a real keeper and have Zach on the bench if we can’t resolve the Carson issue.

Black_and_White_Stripes Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I didn't think we played badly last night and a point was a fair result. Let's hope we can beat Dundee now - four points would be a decent haul for a week's work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 We weren't great, but I didn't think Hibs were especially good either. There wasn't a great deal of quality in the game, especially first half. The second half was more entertaining, if not too high on quality still. I think in the end a draw was probably a fair result. Absolutely delighted for young Jamieson to get his first goal and it was really well taken too. As an opposition fan, Youan is such an annoying player to play against. Every first touch comes off his shin or his ankle, as if he's never seen a football before and he's given possession away, but he somehow still always comes away with the ball. He just has that knack of every touch he takes, no matter how bad it looks, works for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_and_White_Stripes Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Any highlights available? I have seen the goals on the club's official Twitter feed, but not from an ideal perspective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs seemed to set up well, very fast high press and a spreading it wide to drag our 3 around with Jair / Youan fairly high on both sides to pin back Tanser and Strain. I felt Hibs didn't really create all that much for all their good play - the two goals are well taken but come from Gogic miscontrolling it and and Taylor rushing out and getting turned. Also thought it was very strange that when Hibs went ahead, they sort of shut up shop instead of keeping the pressure on, which helped us get a foothold back into the game. I thought we were pretty poor until the changes late on, but the fact the side kept going and got a point out of it late on, makes it feel a good result. If you have a poor day and still get a point out of it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 If anyone is due an off night it's Gogic. He's been immense this season. Also noticed on the highlights, which I didn't spot at the time, that he has a slight slip just as he goes to take the ball and that's what leads to the mistake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The var decision must have taken 2 minutes, and the substitutes 3. Don't know how many times the physios were on, but in the world cup there would have been 10 minutes extra time and not 5 in that hame, especially given Marshall's time wasting for the entire 90. Our officials are not only incompetent, they also appear to put in as few minutes as possible for the ridiculous amounts of money they earn. Even in domestic games we've seen these much longer times added. In the second half we had: Three VAR delays SEVEN substitutes, with the Hibs subs taking 'baby steps' when going off. Three injuries Two goals (before the additional time was calculated) Goalkeeper warned repeatedly (but not booked?!) for time wasting. General time wasting taking throws, free kicks etc Last night I thought an absolute minimum would have been 8 minutes, but was thinking 10 would have been about right. Which if Hibs were playing Rangers or Celtic and were 2-1 up, there would have been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to think we’ve asked Middlesbrough about signing him permanently but with him only just signing a 3 year deal there I reckon there’s little chance of that happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Coventry Saint said: Ever since Baccus signed, right back at the start, we've been a better side with him in it. Absolutely nuts that people don't rate him. 4 hours ago, SS77 said: Anyone that doesn’t think Baccus is one of our best players watches football with their eyes closed. Whilst I absolutely agree wholeheartedly with both of the above statements, I won't have it that he was good when he came on last night. He was caught in possession a number of times because he dwelled on the ball far too long. He also gave away a few unnecessary fouls. That said I agree he is (usually) a very important player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he came to the club all our goalies have really benefited from working with him. Ask Hladky and Alnwick, both now doing great work in the English championship. Also Carson was in the best form of his life while well into his 30s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Some interesting opinions on this thread about Baccus. I remember seeing his first few appearances for us in pre-season matches and was immensely impressed by his skill, his attitude and commitment, but most of all his fitness - what an engine this boy displayed. I'm not convinced that I'm still seeing such intensity from him in recent games. I hope this is just a blip as I still rate him highly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Boyd-Munce, but he's a different type of player from Baccus. For me Baccus, should be a first pick every time, as he combines a bit of dig combined with classy play. Having said that, he didn't track Newell back for the second goal. Loved Jamieson hitting his blocked shot with his left peg, then his strike for the goal with his right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
