Title: Harry Mckirdy
Post by: 4D on Saturday, October 8, 2022, 01:50:19
Noticed he hasn't featured much after his "big" move to Hibs. Must be tough for a centre of attention kind of player.

I was thinking much the same. Hibs are in a good vein of form at the moment…. But the fact we’ve now got 2or 3 players prepared to attack and run at the opposition (albeit in a more controlled fashion and not collapse like a rag-doll at the faintest touch)  means we haven’t really missed him…

It’s a shame really because him and Jack were good for us and are now just squad players

He’s been suspended hasn’t he?

He was only suspended for 1 more game after leaving us.

Suspended, International break and on the bench last week.

Yeah, he had the rest of his suspension to serve.
Plus he’s probably need to / been give time to move (if he did) settle in the country/club and take time to get his head around the tactics they play. What his role in the team will be and all that.

Hibs are on decent form as well, so in essence no rush to throw him straight in.


Our team is set up differently this year and we appear to have a few players capable of making something happen - where as last year it felt like if it wasn’t happening for McKirdy or Payne then we’d get nothing creative.
So far this season we are getting creativity from Gladwin, Shade, Darcy, Wakeling, FBT and Hutton. Maybe not as consistently as Payne and McKirdy but you’re better off with 6 players providing 5 goals/assists then two players getting 10…

I think our more directness + Jephcott coming in would have been great for McKirdy but alas he’s gone, so far we’ve moved on quite well.

Agree with all your post, plus I think Khan could be added to the creative list, he helped or assisted goals goals earlier in the season.

The last 6 games have highlighted the advantages of strength in depth something that was a concern last season.
You actually look at the bench now and believe we can change games.
Last season was more of a dread thinking we would lose a starting player through injury.

Equally always need to give players a decent run at a club.
The treatment Brynn received early on was pathetic from a fair number of our fanbase.

Post by: NotHarryAgombar on Saturday, October 8, 2022, 08:03:43
Agree totally with that .
I would also add that managers also need to be given time - the criticism of Lindsey before the new squad had been given time to settle was ludicrous- culminating in the “you don’t know what you’re doing “ chant when Jephcott was replaced against Sutton because it was clear he had run out of steam in that game.

I don't really pay much attention to players once they have left



Title: Re: Harry Mckirdy
Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, October 8, 2022, 12:08:07
Harry has played in every game hes been available for since signing for Hibs.

Harry signed on 1st September, they have had 3 games due to the international weekend.

Hibs 1-0 Kilmarnock Harry comes off bench
Hibs 3-1 Aberdeen Harry is suspended
Hibs 2-0 Ross County Harry comes off bench

So, far from not being involved hes played in every game that hes not been banned in.

Harry is a force of nature, off the back of a very good season wouldn't be surprised to see him feature in the Hibs first team sooner rather than later.

Agreed. No longer a Town player so don’t really care about him anymore. Time we all moved on.

No, but maybe we use it to post about ex players rather than have separate threads for them?

We have the "players" forum section for discussion about specific players. Shall we delete that too?
Not sure why people are complaining about me using a valid section of the forum  :hmmm:
Those of you who are no longer interested in ex players, maybe don't bother reading it?

Ooooh somebody’s got out of bed the wrong side :D

I don’t think getting rid of the players section as it’s full of MOM threads and also the squad list for our current players, there’s also a handy thread to discuss ex players, you should try and use it instead of throwing your handbag around

That one comes into its own for players that have been gone a bit longer IMO.

Don’t mind a Harry thread

“Then there’s Harry McKirdy, who, with all due respect, has come from League 2 environments and there is a big focus on his professionalism,” Johnson added.

“He’s been in three or four weeks and there are times when I have had to nail him – but in a nice way!

“I’ve said ‘look, you’re a top player but we will make you better’.”

McKirdy, who has played a part in every game he has been available for at Hibs, starts for the first time today at Celtic.
