Hibs 3-1 Partick Thistle

**1875STEVE** · 05-08-2017, 10:41 PM

First 10 minutes we looked off the pace and they scored a good goal, but once we got the equaliser i thought we were miles ahead.

Marciano - 7 - Made a couple of good saves.

Whittaker - 8 - Rolls Royce of a player, excellent and going to be a very good signing. (how's Gray getting in the team?)

Ambrose - 7 - Apart from a couple of dodgy decisions thought he was excellent.

Hanlon - 7 - Strolled it, he has matured in to a classy defender (How's McGregor getting in the team?)

Stevenson - 7 - Typical Louey, strolled it, fought like a lion

Boyle - 8 - His game has come one leaps and bounds over this last year, played well, good goal, won penalty (which I missed in pie queue) for the third.

McGinn - 8 - Few misplaced passes but he was superb

McGeouch - 6 - Thought he was quite quiet, and was pulling at his groin near the end.,....

Bartley - 7 - Solid, just solid.

Swanson - 7 - lively, Set up Whittakers goal, thought he looked a wee bit frustrated at times, but he's a handful.

S. Murray - 9 - Take a bow son, what a performance, harried defenders all day, forcing mistakes, linked well with Boyle i thought, got another goal. 8 already.

Subs:

What a bench btw!!!

Stokes - 4 - Looked off the pace, which is to be expected, but some neat touches, think he will start on tue v ayr. what a signing.

Slivka - 4 - Another who didnt get enough time, but looks very tidy with the ball. another who i think will start on tue.

F.Murray - 4 - We have found a wee gem i think. didnt get much time though.

Att: 17,778.

Fans were superb.

Ambrose - 7 - Apart from a couple of dodgy decisions thought he was excellent and thought he lost his marker for the goal but overall reads the game well and broke down a few of their attacks.

Hanlon - 7 - Strolled it, he has matured in to a classy defender (How's McGregor getting in the team?)

Boyle - 8 - His game has come one leaps and bounds over this last year, played well, good goal, won penalty (which I missed in pie queue) for the third.

McGinn - 8 - Few misplaced passes but he was superb

McGeouch - 7 - Thought he didn't start off well but neither did the rest of the team, slack passing but got on his game, noticed he was stretching a bit but he is a very good player in midfield and blends well with McGinn. Thought he might have went off to rest up but Neil must have faith in him

Bartley - 7 - Solid, just solid. Hope his injury isn't to bad and can recover if not it will give other players on the bench a chance.

Swanson - 7 - lively, Set up Whittakers goal, thought he looked a wee bit frustrated at times, but he's a handful. Desperate for a goal and hope one will come soon for him.

S. Murray - 10 - Take a bow son, what a performance, harried defenders all day, forcing mistakes, linked well with Boyle i thought, got another goal. 8 already. What a player he is turning out to be all over the park and at one point caught the keeper out with his speed, I liked Jason Cummings but Simon gives us more up front with his work rate.

Changed a couple Steve and think the team will be alterd for the cup game Gray and Mcgregor back and think Slivka along wi big Dave will get a chance and Fraser might sneak a wee game there as well.
