Popular Post newhavenhibby Posted August 12, 2018 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Glad he did well for you yesterday and from reading reports about him that is what you get most games. His greatest asset is that he is a trier for whichever shirt he wears and gives his all for it. He needed a bigger stage to develop and that is what Villa will provide. I think the statements are correct urging caution to see how he is doing after 6 or 7 games but hopefully he will continue to improve and do a good job for you. Well done on the 3 points again and a 100% start. Some were saying it was lucky but I always believe that you make your own luck and if you win promotion by 1 point at the end of the season you won't care how the points were won. Keep it up Edited August 12, 2018 by newhavenhibby 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Loving the Hibs fans! Also loved McGinn’s energy, and it looked like he’s settles into the football very quickly. Can’t imagine he’s the type of player to disappear when it counts. Looks to be a good buy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I see no reason at all why him and Hourihane couldn't play in the same team. Both get up and down the pitch well so i don't see the need to always have to play with a dedicated DM. Something like this: Elmo......Axel.....Chester......Hutton ...........McGinn......Hourihane......... Adomah........Grealish.........Green.. .........................RHM.....................

LoughboroughLion Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Think his arrival - along with the prescence of Grealish - will be really good for Hogan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pozbaird Posted August 12, 2018 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hello there. Dropped in to see how John McGinn got on in his debut, and reports would indicate he did pretty well. He’s one of ‘our own’ - came up through St Mirren’s youth ranks, broke into the first team as a kid, stayed there, made over 100 appearances for us, won the League Cup with us in 2013. Then, as is the case with many clubs our size in the post-Bosman era, left for a bigger club (Hibs) for next to nothing. See also other recent cases of St Mirren losing Kenny McLean to Aberdeen, Stevie Mallan to Barnsley, Kyle McAllister to Derby, and Lewis Morgan to Celtic. Fortunately, we seem to have negotiated a decent 33% sell-on in the Hibs deal, so now he’s with Villa, we’ll get some decent money. Decent for us, but he’s a steal at something around the 3 million mark. Just like us when Hibs got him from St Mirren, Hibs were in turn powerless to get any more for him, such is life. Hibs certainly improved McGinn, he has grown older, stronger, played for Scotland. Hibs fully deserve credit for developing an already excellent young player. However, he is one of St Mirren’s own, not a Hibbee! Don’t let them tell you otherwise! Best wishes to Aston Villa on your Championship campaign. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhavenhibby Posted August 12, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Aye pozbaird.......it shouldn't be forgotten St Mirren first developed him ( and of course his brother is still there) before moving to Hibs who took him further. Now Villa can take him that next important step towards the real big time. Good luck today v the huns.

We have two of John’s brothers in our first team... captain and midfielder Stephen McGinn, and full back Paul McGinn. Goodness knows what they slipped into Mrs McGinn’s water! 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m already in love. He had me at that first flashed cross after 2 mins. Yeah that was a beauty deserved someone on the end of it. One thing I like about him is he is similar yet different to Grealish in a good way. They both control the tempo, but one generally prefers to slow it down (Jack) and one generally prefers to speed it up (McGinn) I imagine that is a real pain to defend against.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Just what we needed. Compliments Jack. Brilliant debut. With the added bonus that Snodgrass' deliveries have now been replaced sufficiently it would seem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post A Hibee Posted August 12, 2018 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2018 I never once saw him go missing in a game for us and many, many times he was almost single-handedly responsible for re-energising us in games we really needed to win. The worst criticism I could make of him is that I didn't like him taking our corners. He can go all day, can score a bit, soaks up space and possession and finds players for fun with his passes. And he's an absolute terrier. Gutted he's no longer in the green and white but I hope he sets it all on fire for you guys. We'll be watching and wishing him and you well... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 His energy and hunger for the ball reminded me of Milner under MON. That can't be a bad thing. Great debut. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post peterms Posted August 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2018 Love the way the Hibs fans (and St Mirren) are logging on and wishing him well. It reflects the comments he made on leaving, that he'd had a lot of love at the club and appreciated it. Hopefully the transfer can benefit him, us, and his previous clubs. All a bit different to signing Billy Big Bollocks for €400m, which seems to be where the game is going. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan for cup games Bjarnasson isn't good just because he scored the winning goal, in fact I think he's very poor defensive mid. We've not lost last 9 games Whelan starts.
