Clayton Donaldson - HibeesBounce.com

Clery hibee · 28-07-07, 18:36

After all the negative posts about this guy through the week, i thought the he put in a good shift today, his movement and pace caused boro some problems today and he wasnt scared to have a dig at goal either. Still think he has a lot of his game to work on but under thegudance of JC and TC i think thru time he could turn out to be a decent player for us.

comments??

**alnewhaven** · 28-07-07, 18:44

First time I've seen him but thought he looked good. Only concern was his pace seemed to leave him without support at times

Yeah the big guy was good today! Like someone said earlier just needs to work on an end product, although all in all will be a decent player. As for o'brien heard its a shoulder injury or something

from what ive heard collins could have played him today but didnt want to risk him!!! even if he is fit for the derby i cant see him starting without being fully match fit. Maybe place on the bench and brought on with 20 mins to go, leave those yam fuds on there erse!!

gackohibs · 28-07-07, 18:55

I was doubting the guy after wednesdays performance but after todays shift i thought he upped his game big time.

Lets hope he continues to get better with more experience and time to adapt.

**Dr Shrink** · 28-07-07, 19:15

Very good performance today.

A few passes were top drawer which shows he's not just there to hare after through balls.
His display at Livingston wasn't as good, but I'll settle for more of todays stuff.

Couple of clowns behind me shouting out how pish he is

They were getting on my tits and obviously ken fcuk all about fitba.

Donaldson held the ball up well and showed his pace at times. He is only going to get better and I for 1 think he'll be a good player for us.

Yamfisted · 28-07-07, 19:42

Donaldson was excellent, altho Benji was even better. Benji is shaping up to be a hell of a player. IMO he stood out as the best forward on the park. I'd start with Benji and Donaldson next week, and bring on Fletcher second half.

he does a thing that i've only ever seen larson master in scottish football.

he traps the ball and moves it about a yard from the goal but in that yard he can lose a defender and get the right side of the ball to get a crack at goal, watch one his goals in the cup final to see what I mean...it's priceless...neck on the line here but he is the best stiker in scotland since larson.

body racks up goals through the amount of chances he gets. benji has a chance this season to make himself a legend,

if clayton is reading this then all he needs to do is feed benji and wait for the cut backs and he'll make double figures easy.

Pleased with Donaldson. As for Benji different class. The boy is on fire. Made the goal well and he looked chuffed to bits afterwards, huge smile on his face.

**chrissy-r-hfc** · 28-07-07, 21:51

First friendly I've been able to make and didn't realise there was a few negative comment about him, but I thought he was brilliant today. He held it up well, has a good first touch and looks quick off the mark. It's a big step up for him but from todays evidence he looks as is he will be able to cope.

TattooedHibee · 29-07-07, 16:33

Donaldson is coming on game by game. If he is given a chance by the support he should realise his potential at Hibs.

Some had their minds made up at the Livingston game mind.

Aye, pretty sad eh. The boy has been getting in goal scoring positions. Fair enough missed a few chances but better to miss them pre season. If he keeps getting in those positions he will get goals. Simple as that.

**TranentHibee** · 29-07-07, 17:11

one of the moves against boro between clayton, boozy and zemmama (i think) was absolutely awesome. he's gonna do well fo us.

Greenmachine · 30-07-07, 21:02

I was a bit surprised with how good Donaldson looked in the last two games. Going by some of the comments on him from previous games, I was expecting him to ge a bit fragile and tippy-tappy sort of player, but he looks very strong and has great pace. He links up very well too. Looking for a few goals from him this season.

HutchieHibee · 31-07-07, 16:52

I think the guy is still a bit raw...

but with the right coaching can easily develop

Imo you can teach positional sense and build up fitness or bulk

but you can't teach an adult ball skills that aren't naturally there...

I think he has plenty skill and looks eager

It's his ankle. Hibs thought he may have broken it but the scans showed that it was fine.
