That's a super signing, was known as the bulldog at Bohs apparently. Very hard worker, likes to get stuck in.

Dundee are outplaying Hibs all over the pitch right now. That Mackay-Stevens lad is excellent.

Gutted!

I'm not hugely inspired that the signing of Deegan will make much difference either. Big work horses are ok but I'm not sure he'll be up to SPL standards otherwise.

Things will get better for the players already signed but probably not before the derby next weekend. The team needs more up front too.

I dont think I can remember the hibs support dreading a match as much as sunday's derby. I no longer underestimate our capacity to disappoint, but we were scarily bad last week, completely rudderless.

Deegan looks like the kind of player we need in midfield but also looks like the kind of player who will be sent off on his debut.

Signed Alan Maybury too.

I was optimistic during the summer(if that was possible) but after last week this could be another 11/12 season.

Not keen on Maybury but least it might allow McPake and Hanlon to settle as centre backs and our defenders can play in their natural positions. For the last minute or so of the united game we had a truly terrifying pairing in central defense of Sean O'Hanlon and David Stephens.

I am absolutely bricking it about this season. I dont think we will go down but it will be long and joyless with plenty opportunities to further humiliate ourselves.

It will take some time to heal the wounds of certain result in May.

Cup would help. League Cup I guess cause we will never win the other flipping one.

No doubt and having the first derby of this season so early unfortunately is not likely to help matters if the opeing weekends joke of a performance is anything to go by. Hope I am wrong and you can at least get a resut this weekend but I don't see it happening sadly.

I hope Fenlon let the team see the hearts fans artwork on the main gates to the stadium yesterday. There needs to be some anger and fight tomorrow instead of bottling it in the tunnel which seems to be customary against them.

One of the first things Fenlon clocked when he came to us was our whole defeatist mentality against them, from the players and fans alike. I know doommerchants like myself dont help the situation but we need to start beating them at home.

Anyway there is always a small part of me that believes we can sneak it so im predicting 2-1 hibs and I believe Ivan Sproule will be on the scoresheet. There will be a few hibees watching the match in Murray's on O'Connell Street in Dublin tomorrow if anyone is in town.

We were an embarrassment last week,we badly need a striker but no sign of one yet,have to say its Doyle I would have upfront with Griffiths outwide supporting not the other way around,if Deegan can reproduce the form he showed for Bohs then we are in for a treat.After the disaster in May,Petrie should have had the cheque book out and told Fenlon to build his team but oh no we are a bloody embarrassment,team needs major investment and strengthening but nothing been done about it.

Lets hope we keep score down. I hate been so pessimistic about this.

Nice to see Hearts banners showing what type of fans support that miserable shower.

Massive improvement today on last week,Griffiths was always up for it and looked lively,Deegan had a great debut and was a tank in midfield never let jambos dominate,also thought besides the goal Maybury had an excellent game and gave a better balance to the team,still light upfront but with Shefki Kuqi at the game he may be the striker we are looking for even if he is 35 but vastly experienced
