Most overrated player at ER... - HibeesBounce.com

**Bampotto** · 04-03-08, 17:56

Is there a player that is always getting talked up by other Bouncers on this site and you have no idea why? This happens to me fairly often about a few players and I just can't see why other people think the sun shines out of their backsides.
Ok, I realise this isn't the most positive thread, but I think it would be interesting to see how other Bouncers feel.

Sheils by a country mile. when he plays hes good. but that is few and far between

**Steve20** · 05-03-08, 08:16

Benji.

Good enough player but nowhere near the level some people on here think.

**dangerousdavid** · 05-03-08, 09:22

Shiels for me. Agree with the above that he is a good player but we very rarely see him play well.

**Bampotto** · 05-03-08, 15:57

I had to go for :-

Zemmama - similar to Shiels, when he's on he's really on, but it's so infrequent. He seems to think he's a much better player than he is and if he would just take the simple option would be much more productive. Very frustrating.

Boozy - I got slated earlier in the season for daring to suggest that Boozy might not be the player he was a couple of seasons ago and that he might not be an automatic pick. I stand by that. He just doesn't do enough anymore, which is a shame because he has a lovely touch and is capable of good things, and seems to be a nice bloke who loves the club and the fans.

Morais - another one who is probably capable of moments of genius but we just haven't seen it. Looked like he'd bag a few goals after some great shots pre-season, but it's not happenend. I think the reason that AOB gets so much more stick than Morais is to do with money. (although I'd rather see Morais in the starting XI)

Grof - I just don't see why, mainly younger, Bouncers think he should be in the first team. I've seen him play a few times and he's nowhere near the finished article. I don't think McNeil is either, but he's much further on. Maybe it's because Grof has a funny haircut and talks to folk on MSN that people are so fond of him.

Anyway, this does seem to be fairly negative. Maybe next I'll pos a "most underrated player" poll...

I wonder who the "other" was that was voted for

Boozy

This poll makes this tread seem mor einteresting to me. And kinda backs up the point of both.

I think his right has improved a lot this season.

JDanielR1875 · 23-03-08, 18:44

grofs never featured he doesnt even come into it i voted for him you cant rate him if he doesnt play.

**Hibee_bounce336** · 24-06-08, 09:59

Zemmama and Shiels need more disipline. IE help out your defence and stick to your position. But apart fae that these lads r gonnae be gr8 players soon. I voted for jones and boozy, was just trying to see if e could vote for two. An aye e can. Jones is like bambi on ice at the best of times when hes got a ball at his feet and boozy just aint the player he used to be.

Morais was pish at the start of the season but has come on a bit, with a bit more development he should be a more acomplished player this season.

AOB, can't really comment since he has not been given a proper run in the team. Give the lad a chance.

toolyhibs · 25-06-08, 20:58

morais, honking ! cringe every time he runs onto the park !

**chrissy-r-hfc** · 27-06-08, 16:37

Jones. Had a great start to his ER career but he's like a drunk giraffe half the time.

Stu · 27-06-08, 17:59

Benji - and not for a lack of skill or ability either.

**CraigHFC** · 27-06-08, 18:00

Dean Shiels.

Don't get me wrong, I like him. He's a good player, but, IMO, not as good as some people make him out to be...

Agree .....the man's a walking bomb scare...Can't believe that so many Hibs fans hold him in such high regard....Think at best he is an English Dv 3 player...certainly not Hibs class.

Steven Fletcher is the one I voted "other" for - if he thinks he's better than Riordan, he'll need to come off his pedestal cause he will never be as great as Deeks in a month of Sundays (or should that be Saturdays).

Eduardo · 01-07-08, 10:58

Without doubt...

Ross Chisholm !!

**connal** · 19-07-08, 09:10

**Hibsean** · 19-07-08, 09:20

Tam McCourt or Benji.

got to agree with you saw him against Barca and he looked like a carthorse with piles too slow by far I thought Morias improved from the Raith game he actually got us a corner!but thats not saying much!
