Jones and Martis

[Clery hibee]

So guys how do we feel this partnership is coming on?

IMO i think these two will be big players for us this season. We all know how dreadful weve been at the back for the last few years, but i am know confident that this problem has now been solved and we will concede no way near as many goals as the last 2 seasons.

They are both big physical lads who very seldomly lose any balls in the air, also they both seem pretty confident with the ball at there feet(especially martis his long ball for killens goal on sunday was inch perfect). Its also been mentioned on other posts that jones seems to have been giving the role of dictacting what the goalie and defeneders do eg Zibi coming out!!!!! who goes up for corners, creating the offside trap, and it seems to be working well, he's doing a far better job than Caldwell anyway!!

Another thing i noticed on sunday was when Brewster had that chance at 1.0 to make 1.1, there was a mad scramble in the box, the ball eventually ended up over the bar, as soon as it was out jones and Martis gave each other a hug. i loved this just shows you how much they want to win and how commited they are to helping hibs progress.

well done Jones and Martis keep up the good work!!

Yeah, I tend to agree!

I said all along that if we could tighten up the defence then our loss of 2 top class strikers would be easier to stomach because we wouldn't have to score as many to win games!

Hopefully we can keep the goals against column low and the for steadily rising!

There's only been 2 games this season where we've conceded more than 1 goal, both them we lost 2. That's a massive improvement on the way we were shipping goals last season. If we keep that going we're in with a chance in every game...

Exactly, my comments were made through the Summer when panic ensued over replacing GOC and DR!

I don't think any of the goals conceded have been from set pieces (particularly corners) either, which is a major improvement on last season. Hibs actually look like scoring more from their set pieces than they concede.

very true, Jones is always a threat from setpieces, ive stuck a fiver on him for first goal most weeks, surely it will come in a few times this season

No doubt its an improvement but I still think it looks a little shakey at times. Its a new defence though and over time will only get better.
