Would Lewis Stevenson make your first XI at Easter Road?

Tag : xi an
good player but his loss of form was dramatic under Mixu and Idon't know if he will fit into the team that Mixu is trying tobuild. I would hope that we can get him playing as well as heplayed in the CIS final but it's down to the player himself."

Alan Newton, Leith: "I hope the manager is challenging all theplayers to make their marks, they are professional football playersand their aim is to play in the first XI. If they aren'tchallenging get rid of them as they are bleeding our club, taking awage and not performing."

Andy Wooten, Leith: "It's not just Lewis Stevenson who hardly getsa look in, we have numerous fringe players who Mixu wants rid off.I think Stevenson and McCann will be punted."

Allison Farrell, Ferniehill: "If I was the manager he would makemine, he is one of a number of players who Mixu doesn't fancy asfootballers. Why I don't know."

Jim Hewitt, Newhaven: "If he plays like he did at Murrayfield thenno he shouldn't be in the team, then again neither should most ofthe players who played."

Jon Gracie, Lochend: "It's always hard to take your first seasonform to the next season, maybe now he's had a rest and taken stockof his situation he will in this coming season be a better footballplayer. He has a talent but it's up to the coaches to make sure heshows this on the football pitch. If he does then Mixu won't havean option, he will have to play him. If he doesn't he will end uplike at lot of so-called promising talent, playing for BerwickRangers or East Stirling."

Amy-Rose Bruce, Craigmillar: "Another young player we had hopesfor, now he is not fulfilling his promise. I have watched him inreserve games and along with his colleagues there is an extremelack of pace about him. I don't know why but unless he improves Ican't see Mixu giving him a starting place."

Allan Tennant, Alva: "Yes Lewis would make my first XI, any time heplays he is always looking for the ball, never shirks from atackle, can pass and for me that is the type of player we want inour team. It also helps that he can double up as a full back. Maybeif more players showed his attitude during games we might havefinished higher in the league last year."

Gomez Grant, Sighthill: "I certainly will give Lewis a run in theside, but at left back. He has a good left peg and an engine to getup and down the park."

PJ, Dunfermline: "After his MOTM CIS Cup Final performance youwould have thought so. However, he is still relatively young andinexperienced. I don't think it helps his cause that there islittle experience in the current Hibs midfield (squad]. I wouldpersonally like to see him given an extended run in the team. Onething that he has in his favour is the ability to play left back aswell as in midfield."

Roy Nesbitt, Comley Bank: "Good left-sided player but in keepingwith all the other Hibs youngsters he is under six foot tall, notany good in today's football. He is still a good player, wewitnessed his display in the CIS Cup final but he will have to bemore athletic and skilful if he wants a place in Mixu's team."

David Brotherston, Leith: "A good player that is being overlookedfor brawn. Mixu's definition of a football player is not what mostHibs fans want to see, Stevenson is a must for the team butunfortunately he doesn't fit the profile that Mixu wants. He willbe sold and come back to haunt us."

James Hanlon, Brunstane: "Stevenson would be in my team any day ofthe week before Kerr. Have to say I'm a bit worried aboutPaatelainen, his team selection and tactics and some of the youngplayers he has let go already
