Hibs hopeful Lewis Miller can kick on after difficult start to Easter Road career
Lee Johnson believes Hibs fans are yet to see the best of Lewis Miller, admitting the Australian defender has endured a ‘more transitional year than we wanted’.

"He’s here and he’s in the squad but I think it’s ended up being a bit more of a transitional year for him than we would have wanted in terms of where we saw him,” Johnson told the Evening News in an exclusive interview. “It’s very difficult – and this is a lesson learned for all of us – to judge the weighting of the leagues.

In the A-League I was watching a player who is physically super-powerful on big pitches and can stretch games and he was excelling, but it’s taken him a bit of time to adapt to Scottish football. There’s been the injuries but it’s a higher tactical focus too and I think the tempo is higher. Lewis is a really strong, physical player but that technical and tactical element is the bit we have to develop.”

No they didnt do enough homework. It was obvious he had some good attacking qualities but needed that bit more time to iron out a few issues in his game particularly off the ball if he was to step up. Another season with us and I am sure he would have had a far better move.

Clearly did no scouting of his personality as well.

You mean he can't defend? We already knew that

In the A-League.....on big pitches

Didn't know this was a thing, I'd assumed pitches would be the same size everywhere, apparently not.

There are FIFA requirements and there can be quite a difference from the minimum to large.

Maty Ryan played a full game as travelling 2nd AZ Alkmaar lost 1-2 to league leaders Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.

The loss means Maty's side fail to claim top spot from Feyenoord who now have a 5 point buffer at the top.



Lewis Miller came on (83') at home for 4th Hibernian as they defeated 10th Kilmarnock 2-0 in the Scottish Premiership.


Mark Birighitti started and was substituted (85') at home for last Dundee United as they lost 1-2 to 8th St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership.

A horror mistake from Birra gifted St Johnstone a derby win and denies Dundee United a crucial point in their relegation battle.


Alou Kuol was not in the squad at home for 16th VfB Stuttgart as they defeated 11th Koln 3-0 in the Bundesliga.

The win sees Alou's side climb out of the relegation playoff place on goal difference.


No lineup information avaliable for Jordan Smylie as travelling Keflavik defeated Throttur Reykjavik 2-1 in the Icelandic League Cup.

Garang got 30 mins for Hearts in a 2-0 loss to Motherwell. Hearts were rubbish and don't know how to use Kuol at all. Team mates won't give him the ball or make runs for him on the rare occasion he has it. Get him out of there.

Its Scottish football - its a terrible league. The top 4 AL sides would be competitive in their top league - outside the big 2 its close to unwatchable

Heard Patty Z is ditching Manly to join Sterj at the Bulls.

Imagine implementing a totally new playing style at a NPL club, have one point out of nine as a result of transition and then ditching the club to go elsewhere.

Watching the Davila All Access Sterj looks very quiet and easy to manipulate. Could try and push his way to the top there. Sterj didn’t really want the job either I think.

I don't think you have the career that Sterj did if you are easy to manipulate. There will be steel in there too.

0-1 down at half time against Vietnam. Triantis not culpable for the goal, Jing Reec could feature in the second half.

Slow curriculum passing rubbish. Okon and Milicic must be spunking themselves over this.

Their goal was a cracker.
