I'd say we've had fewer than 10 corners hit into us this season that have made us flap - and he hit four of them last night. So I'd say gross exaggeration is a bit of an exaggeration.

Chimp Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 10 minutes ago, tiger Rudi said: I grudgingly rate Obita. Not enough to start a thread on him tho 😉😁 You should, why not? I think any time we rate a Hibs player we should start a thread especially for them to cream our pants about how good they are, and maybe even exaggerate a little bit too just for good measure. Definitely isn't something that you'd think would only be on Hibs.net 😉 Should be the new thing we do on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no thread for him 🤣 Marcondes is better than our attacking mid (Grant) and IS one of the best players Hibs have had in a while. So he got one. HOWEVER. Dhanda is better still and he controlled his game against us more than EM did, and probably had one of the best performances of any non-OF player at Tynecastle this season. So ultimately we still win. FTH etc. Edited March 1 by Batistuta87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Dhanda's performance went over my head during the game against RC, apart from his free kick of course. It wasn't until I watched the game back that I could see just how well he had played. What I will say is Marcondes deliveries caused us bother all night. At the time I wouldn't have been able to tell you if it's the same player taking the corners or not, or that he had even scored....... I'm watching our own defenders...or averting my eyes till the dangers cleared 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it in my coaching gig as well and single out opposition players who are worth the watching and warn my guys about the amount of time they give them and stuff like that. I've watched us that many times that I sort of just trust us to get on with the job. I'd noticed Dhanda had had a good game against us at the time but it wasn't until I watched his individual highlights that I realised just how good he actually was. Marcondes didn't do as well as that, but I was pretty relieved when he went off, put it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Players get up for derbies. Some go onto have a memorable or decent game people talk about for a few days, some have a mare or see the game pass them by. Its someone else’s turn in the next game. The proof is consistency. We’ve proven that until now, Hibs haven’t. Granted, some of their new players just arrived in January but let’s see if they can match their mouths with results after their lavishing over a winning draw at Tynecastle.

Pretty even scrappy game that is best forgotten imho. It was a decent finish to be fair and I've got to say: as it was coming out to him I thought he was going to sky it. Can't help but think the likes of Vargas or Forrest would have tried to leather it and that it would have ended up in hospitality rather than show a bit of composue and side-foot it in like he did. Also looking at Devlin for this one... If he's got time to steady himself, get himself low and get his hands behind his back to attempt to block it then surely he's got time to chase it out and to make a challenge so its much harder for him to get a shot away - maybe even deny him all together?

OTT Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'm really annoyed at his goal still. Atkinson should know just sticking out a leg isn't enough, Clear the ****ing ball. Seems like a few times we've conceded silly goals because of dicking about and trying to retain posession in dangerous areas. Maybe I'm being unfair, but I think he could have done a lot better there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyces beard Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 4 minutes ago, Batistuta87 said: Aye. Cammy should have put more pressure on him as well, as above. Mate Cammy has just arrived in his position at pace with his back to goal, Natty clears it and it passes Cammy as he is facing his own goal, he quickly turns and puts his hand behind his back and by the time he is facing the ball the Hibs player already has his standing foot planted and is in the process of getting his shot away. He is also 12 yards from the ball at the time the shot is hit. Devlin could not have got one blade of grass closer to the Hibs player and just tried to make himself as big as possible to block the shot which is all anyone could do in that situation. The still image paints a totally different picture to what actually happened bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taken this step and then shuffled his feet to position himself for the block. Its a split-second decision and I'm not saying he gets the ball but in taking that step forward rather than steadying himself for the block, he makes it much harder on the attacker and makes his target smaller.

i8hibsh Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 **** me man, this thread He had a good game, it happens to most players. The sub standard performance from mostly our entire team on Wednesday contributed to this. The boy is a Bournemouth reject and is not seen as good enough to represent his country at senior level. He is not exactly a young player, Bournemouth clearly want rid and I suspect the Bournemouth fringes in the EPL is as far as he will make it. In all the games he has played for Hibs, they have a win rate of 14%. His corners looked pretty decent but Hibs scored **** all from all his deliveries. I imagine after a few games slugging it out in Dingwall and Livingston etc there will be words like "over rated" etc used to describe him on Hibs.net. Our players should be ****ing ashamed they let these ***** play better than their usual derby standard on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
