Doc just scored a screamer. 1-0 Hibs.
Really needs given a chance next season. He might not be the most technically gifted player but he's got a engine on him and can score goals. Something that should always be welcome into any teams midfield
It's true that it's different but he's hardly had a chance under Gerrard, with the Euros potentially keeping a midfielder or two back from the start of the preseason/european qualifiers im hoping he will get a chanceIt's the same issue we have with every player though – it's a different game when you're playing against 10 men in defence. What works for Hibs may not work for us.

Because these teams give absolutely everything to try and get a result against us. Look at the results of teams right after they take something from us. It's not very goodHow this shower of shite got a result against us the other night is unreal
What’s the current criteria?Docherty,Murphy and McCrorie are all making a case for being a valuable part of next seasons squad,but I’m not sure they meet the current ‘criteria ‘.

Ball retention and pace of a certain standard depending on the position they play mate.What’s the current criteria?
If they do well on loan I’m sure they’ll be looked at in friendlies and early qualifiers, but we definitely need a step up in quality again so it’ll be tough for sure.Ball retention and pace of a certain standard depending on the position they play mate.
Not necessarily a dig at coaching staff,but they want players with certain abilities to suit the style they want to play which sounds logical to be fair on the face of it- I’m just not sure we should be dismissing players largely for those reasons.
Just my own opinion.
I hope you’re right mate,but I think Gerrard has a stubbornness about him in his philosophy.If they do well on loan I’m sure they’ll be looked at in friendlies and early qualifiers, but we definitely need a step up in quality again so it’ll be tough for sure.
I think he has a standard he expects, not only on the pitch but the way players carry themselves which fans don’t really see. And if a player isn’t meeting those standards they’re out. He’s trying to be ruthless which comes across as stubborn, when a player looks decent on the pitch but maybe not meeting the standards right through. That’s how I see it because I don’t buy the favouritism. Not at the expense of having a better team.I hope you’re right mate,but I think Gerrard has a stubbornness about him in his philosophy.
Then again,maybe I’m being stubborn hoping that players already on our books have enough to make it with us- I suppose time will tell.
