'Doidge is probably the biggest turnaround in form I’ve ever seen in a Hibs signing' - fans react to win over Dundee United

Supporters were keen to praise the players after they edged out their Championship opponents in a thrilling tie

Christian Doidge has been lauded by Hibs supporters.

Here are a selection of views posted by Hibs supporters online following the 4-2 victory over Dundee United.

@Kieran5398: "Fantastic cup tie, brilliant win for Hibs. Doidge clinical, but Whittaker was outstanding in the middle of the park."

@TobyAllan7062: "I know Doidge gets the headlines for a cracking hat trick but a big shout for Steven Whittaker, thought he was absolutely immense tonight."

@HibsCentral: "Regarding Doidge... So many wrote him off as useless (me included at one point) and he’s seriously turned it around. He’s actually bloody brilliant!! Hats off to the big guy, takes some strength of character to stick in like he has. A call up to the @FAWales surely beckons for Doidge. You cannot ignore this guy."

@catmsinc: "Made hard work of the two legs but at least we’re through."

@northernsky67: "Through the wringer as usual Hibs but yaaas still in the hat."

@HibeesMc: "Joe Newell btw might actually be a decent player."

@zipnolan: "Christian Doidge getting the plaudits he clearly deserves after his excellent Hibs hat-trick but Joe Newell is rapidly becoming a key player. Another excellent performance tonight, well impressive throughout the game."

On Hibs.net, Yer Auld Da posted: "There’s a few in that squad proving us all wrong. James hasn’t exactly set the heather alight but look at the turnaround in some of the other players... have some patience."

Bishop Hibee added: "Doidge is probably the biggest turn around in form I’ve ever seen in a Hibs signing. Newell has a new lease of life in central midfield. James, Vela and Maxwell were/are poor though."
