Positions that need improving??

Going on today's team what positions need improving in the summer to make a real challange?

Ma-Kalambay

Canning Hogg Jones Hanlon

Morais Chisholm Rankin Zemmama

Fletch Nish

With the start we had to the season third place should have been wrapped up a long time ago.

IMO Shiels, Benji, Kerr, Zarabi, Gattussi, Stevenson, McCann, O'brien and Donaldson don't improve this team, only Murray and the good Boozy would!

Honest opinion would be to bring in a good natural right back, two decent midfielders and a good proven keeper.

Although Chisholm was ok today I don't think him or Morais would be in many peoples best 11.

My worry is we can't strengthen to much on the team today, not because of a lack of numbers but a lack of quality??

To be fair we are doing what we need to do with what we have but what do we need to improve next time round?

This is a season of transition for us. First team regulars Brown, Whittaker and Sproule have gone, and we changed manager mid flow. 3rd this season would be a fantastic achievement.

I agree with all the points but with our team now (Fletcher the exception) is there any one player who could leave to join a bigger and more successful club??
I don't think there is. For the last few years we have sat through the transfer windows waiting for our best players to leave. I don't think we will have that problem the next time round.
Because of this 3rd would be a fantastic achievement, I just worry that the majority of our current team can't raise their game or improve enough to take us to the next level.
I can only hope I'm wrong!

Maybe if we have a team without players looking to move on, we may get a bit of team unity. Not saying we dont have that now tho

Because if we're doing well our players will always be targets. Such targets are secured by offering more dosh which like it or not is what motivates most of us...

I'd imagine with freedom of contract quite a few could earn more elsewhere.

Fortunately most are under contract so it's a question of whether any club is prepared to pay the required compensation..

Shiels! You must be joking -he is quality.Surely you noticed the difference when he came on today. He is one of our few creative players the others being Zemmama and Boozy. We need to get him tied up now on a long term contract because clubs will be looking at him for next season.

Shiels has always looked ok when he comes on for the last 20 minutes but is he really been that good when he plays from the start?
Just don't think Shiels improves the team.
I like him and he is a decent squad player bur that's it. Flatters to decieve a little!

We dont need this kind of shite at this point in the season. As it has been proven we can beat any team in the league with his squad. I dont understand why people expect to see blindingly good football every week. We are Hibernian not Barcelona. To say those players are of no use is a bit harsh. I believe Kerr is playing good when hes getting his chance. Donaldson has scored six goals this season and Shiels has been just as influential. Maybe some people find it reassuring to have to keep on bleating about how totally inept our squad always seems to be. But Im quite happy with our squad and just to be down right crazy I think Ross Chisolm is a very good player and Ma-Kalambay is as solid a keeper as we can expect.

Goalkeeper, I'm afraid.

Yes, he's been better of late but his fumbles are ludicrously embarassing for a top league keeper. His luck's going to run out and if that c#nts sneak into the top 6 I know exactly when it will be.

Said it before, I'll say it again : Combe, pretty polly please with sprinkles on top.
