00:00Hibbs have probably got the players who can find him as well.

00:03You saw that ball, it's a brilliant cross from Caden.

00:06Caden's probably one of the everyday heroes that gets kind of overlooked sometimes about what a good footballer he is.

00:15So whether he plays it right back and pushes Miller out or he plays on the wing,

00:20I think you've got players in there who can deliver the ball into dangerous areas.

00:25For Kourevic, yes, and for Gale.

00:27But Gale's movement was great.

00:29Like I said, it's six months since he played a competitive game of football.

00:33Now he kept fit with that PFA pre-season thing.

00:36He played in a bounce game during that last kind of enforced break that Hibbs had.

00:42So that was why Gray was quite happy to throw him into the game.

00:47He thought he was ready.

00:48And you would like to think until he gets up to full match sharpness, that experience and knowing where to be,

00:55I think that's probably the big thing you miss when you're not playing competitively.

00:59It's just that experience.

01:00You know what it's like if you go back to fives after eight weeks away or something like that,

01:05and you've had an injury.

01:06You go back, the first 10 minutes you're like,

01:07what am I supposed to be doing?

01:09Where am I supposed to be?

01:10Imagine that a thousand times the level of it.

01:13And you've been out for six months and you just maybe forget things.

01:17But his, it's just ingrained in his DNA from years and years and years.

01:20Ball's there.

01:21I know where I'm going.

01:22I know how I'm going to do it.

01:23And I know how I'm going to lose my defender to get there free.

01:26Because anyone can run to that spot, but have a defender right on top of them.

01:31And time to run wrong and arrive too early,

01:34therefore gives the defender time to close them down or arrive too late and the ball's already away.

01:39He's got that kind of just years and years and years of training.

01:43He must have done about a million finishing drills over the years.

01:46He's played in umpteen games, big games, scored winners, scored in the decisive moments.

01:52And these guys, strikers, are just, they're just different.

01:55No matter how good a footballer you are, you've seen it all the time.

01:58We stick a midfielder up front to help.

02:00He's a really good player, he'll figure it out and it just doesn't work.

02:04You've got to have that little instinct to know where the ball is.

02:09Like they say, if you threw the ball up in the air in the penalty box, it would land at his feet.

02:13That's how it works.

02:22you
