Hibs keepers are killing David Gray and it's time for Max Boruc to get his chance - Tam McManus

I made my living as a striker. But I know a dodgy goalie when I see one. And unfortunately Hibs right now have two keepers who are killing them. And Killing David Gray at the same time.

The manager’s job is on the line and he needs players he can trust but the two guys in the most important position are about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. This is the biggest call Gray has to make ahead of the trip to face Motherwell at the weekend.

I can guarantee that Stuart Kettlewell will have watched the last few games and will be telling his players to put every corner and free kick right on top of the goalie no matter if it’s Jordan Smith or Josef Bursik. Bursik has made a number of errors since the start of the season and Smith deserved his chance against Aberdeen on Tuesday. But he blew it. He was badly at fault for the Dons’ second goal and I really think he should be saving the third too.

Individual errors are killing Hibs this season and the goalies are chief culprits. It’s a real issue for Gray. Neither of those guys are good enough and it’s another black mark against the Easter Road recruitment team who signed them both in the summer.

Who does Gray go with against Motherwell on Saturday? Maybe third time’s a charm and he could give Max Boruc a chance. He simply can’t do any worse and on the few occasions he played last season he looked the part. Hibs are bottom of the table and they need to stop leaking goals or they’ll stay there.

Back in my day we signed a Danish guy called Morten Hyldegaard as back up goalie to Daniel Andersson. We did shooting practice every Friday with Gerry McCabe who was Bobby Williamson’s assistant. There was myself, Garry O’Connor, Derek Riordan and Stephen Dobbie lining up to batter shots into
