DAVIDB46 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Think the problem with Gilmour when he starts is that he doesn’t offer much going forwards he isn’t quick, nor offer enough defensively . So you are kind of stuck after that , he will offer a sideways pass but that isn’t enough at this level . I do feel his size prevents him doing him doing more of the above , therefore he would be best suited to a slow paced league like Serie A .

ceudmilefailte Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hendry started in his first game back in Bruges and help them to a clean sheet. One of these days I might have to eat my words about the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just hope the manager takes a liking to him as well and sees some potential. Would be really disappointing for a guy like gilmour to be playing lower league football in a few years when it looked like he could be a genuine superstar.

mccaughey85 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Going by the nottingham forest forum mckenna had a good game. Good to see cooper starting as well. Been a good weekend overall for our centre backs. Good to see hendry getting a chance again at brugge, lets hope he continues to play as his career was on an upward trajectory before this season started. Porteous goal.

Watched the game, both Cooper & McKenna were pretty solid throughout with McKenna in particular getting a lot of praise from the commentary team. Personally I'd like to go with Hendry & McKenna in a back 4 against Cyprus like we did against Ukraine & Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say mckenna and hendry are our first choice pairing but as we have seen in the past that can all change pretty quickly. I would like to see cooper get more chances as we dont often have a centre back that lasts a few seasons in the epl. Would be great if mckenna lasts a few seasons in the epl as the experience against top attackers could be excellent for his development.

Can’t help but feel Clarke will pick Hanley alongside one or neither of them. I like Cooper though he seems to be picking up injuries more frequently these days which is a worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fine if you just want your centre backs to defend but we have been trying to move to a style that we are comfortable in possession, play through the lines etc McKenna is very clumsy for me at the highest level. Gives so many fouls away by bundling strikers and his reading of the game isnt as good as some others. That being said if we play 5 at the back then id have him as my central defender as he is good in the air, actually quite fast and decent enough with ball at his feet. I feel we are still in a place where we would like to play 4 at the back but dont have 2 good enough CBs to play it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did well against a much bigger , stronger, technically better & I believe on average a year older team. Certainly unlucky to lose.   Keeper Johnson , made one outstanding save & looked very assured on cross balls but unfortunately he spilled a shot that led to Dortmund getting the equalising penalty.    Centre back Jacob Blaney scored a great header & looked a good positional defender .    O'Connor junior looks like a skinnier version of his dad. He is pretty quick & looked a threat at times but thought his touch could be better.   Best prospect looks to be Ethan Laidlaw, tall thin lad with great pace & a trick or 2. Played right wing back but I guess who could play various positions. Out of contract in the summer so unless Hibs get him signed up quick he will be Old firm or EPL bound I'm sure.

His name escapes me but thought the young stocky lad who came on for Hibs with the Eastern European surname looked a player. Commentator said he was a year younger than the rest and in the Scottish squad. Hopefully Hibs have another 'golden' generation on their hands that produces another 6+ internationalists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
