Hibs might have just found the coaching reset they’ve been missing. Marink Reedijk's first week is already sparking hope around La Manga, and the big question is whether his detailed, hands-on style can unlock the squad fast enough to change the season.
Matty is joined by Ian Mackay, and HibeeFanIan for a wide-ranging phone-in on the new manager, the Aberdeen performance, and what Hibs really need next. From the frustration of 12 shots and only two on target to the buzz around the training videos, this episode digs into the details that could shape the months ahead.
You’ll hear:
Why the Aberdeen game was more encouraging than the scoreline suggested, and why the finishing still has to improve
How Reedijk's coaching style, from stoppages and “activities” to position-specific work, is already winning people over
What the panel think about Josh Mulligan, Josh Campbell, Callum Wright, Chaiwa, Klidje, and the young players coming through
Whether Hibs actually need to spend big, or if better coaching and smarter development is enough
The debate over Jason Kerr, Marco Ivezic, Rabbi Matondo, and the shape of the squad
Why Martin Boyle’s testimonial feels richly deserved, and what it says about his impact at Easter Road
The mood around the semi-final, ticket demand, and whether Hibs can keep the momentum building
Ian Mackay brings the stats and tactical perspective, HibeeFanIan adds the live fan reaction from the training-ground buzz, and weighs in on the youth setup and squad dynamics. Together they paint a picture of a club that may be closer to turning a corner than many realize.
Perfect for Hibs fans who want more than hot takes - this is the kind of conversation that gets into the real issues behind the results, and leaves you wondering what this team could look like once the new ideas properly click.
