Agree with you. Liked Demi, and he was great in his first spell, cracking goal against St Johnstone in the cup iirc. Seemed to lose his way in second spell, although we weren’t exactly world beaters at the time. Decent bloke, hope he plays well in a series of disastrous results for Hibs, where they ship 5-10 goals a game. None of which are his fault.

When he heard it was Mitchell he gave it the usual 'could see there was a player there' but got injured then never contributed much after that, didn't seem fussed at all about him leaving.

i8hibsh Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Anyone saying he is shite is just saying it because he has joined Hibs. It was clear to see in many a game for us the boy is a good player. What makes me not give a shit he is at Hibs now however is that when we were struggling and really needed players to step up he was continually missing in action. We don't need that, we had enough of that sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Didn't rate him that highly myself . A few really good moments but too much shaky stuff. Here is a video I found from 2018, all his contributions against Hibs in the one where Don Cowie got the winner, which I think gives a fair picture of both the good side and the bad. If he's ironed out the mistakes in distribution and positioning, and retained his turn of speed, then he may turn out good from them. Certainly Kingsley in 2022 or Boyle in 2022 look much better players to me than Mitchell in 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Wallace Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think its indicative of the times that an ex Hearts player signs for the wee team and nobody gives a flying Reckon we will gazump that signing in the next day or two Eternal optimist , maybe, but confident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 The thing that makes me not give a **** about this signing is that if he has signed for Hibs he must presumably have been offered to us first. If he is a big fat "no thank you" for Robbie and Savage then that is fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of that and can't understand why managers would think it works, given they will mostly be having to control passes made to them from the left or over their left shoulder...

1971fozzy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 He is hardly a rat etc. a guy making a living and not exactly done any harm. He was a loan signing for us and it never worked out 2nd time round and that’s really because he was criminally mismanaged by a joke of a manager. nobody knows how he will do. He had talent for sure but was in a side here that included the likes of Hughes etc. Big risk for them as he was injury prone and he’s also joining a club with a ridiculously huge squad, shit players and a rookie manager.

DS98 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 He might be good for them, he might be gash. Best way to sum it up is if you got told he was re-signing with us, would you be that excited? I wouldn’t be. We’ve moved up a few levels since those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Great signing for the derby - for us. Mitchell knew we were the better club when he was with us before and he'll be even more aware of the difference now. Training in the cow shed will be some come down after our facilities and playing at Easter Road will be nothing like the buzz of Tynie. In the derby, a couple of mistakes and Hibs fans will be on his back - he'll be nervous as hell. Well done Hibs social media for highlighting his past social media posts to save Hearts fans doing it and putting him under even more pressure.

We all know which team demi would prefer to play for, as he said Hibs who are they, he's hoping he can get his career back on track. Boy has talent, but I'm not sure Hibs are the right club for him.

PeterHaringsPonytail Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I remember him being significantly better as a left winger than a left back, which we were told how to play him by Man Utd. He looked lost there. But a left winger, in this league, he was good. He was a stand-out in many games for us as a left winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
