Stu Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Tonight should hopefully have settled a few concerns about the squad - especially with Stubbs saying there's more to come in the next few days, some of whom are meant to be exciting.

If you include the 3 told to leave who are still here, plus Kirkpatrick and Stewart plus Erhahon, that’s 21 players. How can anyone think that we are short of bodies? Still yonks of the transfer window left as well! Forgot about Erhahon. Interesting that McPherson and Kirkpatrick were in the team in front of him !

JJ McG Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 1 of my best pals is a hibs fan and I was talking to him tonight and he says Stubbs’s recruitment is 2nd to none and was his strongest point at hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were good tonight mate, I had concerns but we were good and our energy levels were superb. For a team that hasn’t played a competitive match together that was impressive.

proudtobeabuddy Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 We were far better than Kilmarnock tonight and that's before we bring in more new faces to strengthen, a good start long may it continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood-bud Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Delighted with Danny Mullen’s performance tonight, always rated him highly last season. Works 2 centre halves all night and still manages to get himself into scoring positions. If he was a bit more selfish the goals would fly in and he’d be snapped up in the English Championship. Noel Hunt comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Have the knickerwetters settled down a bit ? Great team performance from every single player tonight. Early days , but with still 5 or 6 to come in I'm quietly confident about the season ahead. Alan Stubbs black and white army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saintss Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Forgot about Erhahon. Interesting that McPherson and Kirkpatrick were in the team in front of him !He’s still a young boy billy. Mind you, plenty of supposedly young superstars never really turned out that way.This boy has been with us since he was 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Based on AS's post-match interview, it sounds as though at least one of the players still to come in will either involve a fee, and/or substantial wages. He quipped about not knowing how happy the CEO and Chairman were. I was quick to play down the significance of the game last night, but will readily concede that it has lit that wee fuse of anticipation that I was waiting for. It looks as though the new man at the helm knows his onions (and his players). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintGlenburn Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 We have a squad of 22 at the moment, excluding the academy. We aren't mindbogglingly short of numbers as far as I can see. Whether we're short of quality, time will tell, but with a few more players to come in, I'm personally not worried.Creative CM, RB and a goalscorer would be ideal. In the mould of K McLean, L Smith and Sutton (1st Spell at us) would be ideal. Id say we were ready after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be us out of the League Cup then........... Mullen to any of those three.....utter nonsense. Jack Ross preferred him to Reilly for many games and it looks like Stubbs is of the same opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as though the new man at the helm knows his onions (and his players). Many times now I have heard the story of four or five signings still to come, two of which would excite the fans. I hope it happens, but I cannot think of who is available, in our price bracket / wage structure, that would be in the ‘exciting’ category. I suppose if Stubbs had signed Kenny Miller and Stokes, he might have classed them in that bracket, as they are ‘name’ players, but it clearly isn’t them. TBH, I’d have been quite excited if we’d brought Stevie Mallan back, so in preparation of being ‘fully excited’, I’m off to get in some beers and popcorn.

stlucifer Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Not one of the newbies looked out of place last night. I know it's too early to call but at least that performance and style of play calms my fears a little about decimating the squad. Stubbs clearly sees the sense in introducing the new players slowly.

I'm hoping the signings to " exite the fans " will be youngsters that are really fast , and on the verge of first team football in England , a couple of attacking players in the same mould as that left back from Middlesborough will be nice.

Wendy Saintss Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 It seemed to me that the problem the knicker wetters had was that they’d never heard of the players. They just want us to sign the same tired one faces. Even now, we have fools saying that they personally cannot think of anyone available who would excite them. Dearly me, so Stubbs is restricted to just being able to sign players that a numpty of this forum has heard of? FFS [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
