But it also felt to me that the defence did not trust/understand Macy and this was a contributing factor to some of the silly errors. When Letheren was playing it felt that the defence had more confidence in him, and made fewer errors. Maybe I am wrong, but that was my sense of the response of the players to both keepers.I agree. A reasonable keeper playing behind a defence made of tissue paper

Macey was a poor keeper which his defence recognised. Unfortunately, they don’t pick the team.
Really? Even during his little jaunt to Accrington?He’s done well behind every other defence he’s played behind - and has just come off the back of a fine season as first choice for Hibs - which would suggest it was the defence that made his job a lot harder, rather than the other way round.
He enjoyed a successful loan spell with Luton before he signed for Argyle, so they’d know him well - wouldn’t surprise me at all if they’re interested in him.

When at Luton he only managed 4 clean sheets out of 13 appearances.
You know this or are you just going by some rumour that you’ve read?He played for Luton under Nathan Jones, and now the same manager’s about to sign him for his upwardly mobile Championship side. Probably a better judge of his previous time at Luton than someone who’s just googled his clean sheet record, wouldn’t you say?
As someone else mentioned earlier, Letheren did ok when he took over while Macey was out injured 🤷♂️I think Shilton in his prime would have been in trouble behind that amazingly
awful defence. Probably the worse defence I’ve seen in 50 odd years at Home Park and believe me I’ve seen a few
Another way of looking at it is that an arguably decent manager, Lee Johnson, that has just arrived at Hibs is actually willing to let Macey go when he's only half way through his ContractHe played for Luton under Nathan Jones, and now the same manager’s about to sign him for his upwardly mobile Championship side.

Hibs signed Scottish International keeper David Marshall recently as No.1.I thought Macey was rather average, but then a lot of our team were that season. He's clearly doing alright for himself at Hibs, so it seems strange that he'd up and leave unless the money is sufficiently better.
