Thomaso Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The reality is we are going to have to improve massively from our performance on Saturday if we are to get anything out of this game. Hopefully Levein has learned his lesson and plays Lafferty through the middle, and Isma out wide. I rarely agree with Michael Stewart but he was spot on last night.

Johnny Two Pies Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Horses for courses. A team with plenty dig and fight is what’s needed, a game that will suit the likes of Grzelak and Randall. Too soon to start Cochrane and Henderson. Assuming Hughes, Djoum and Cowie (and Smith-Brown) are unavailable, something along the lines of: McGlaughlin; Randall, Souttar, Berra, Grzelak; Smith, Walker, Nowak, Callaghan, Isma; Lafferty. Or maybe Brandon at RB and Randall in midfield too instead of Nowak? Buaben (injured anyway?) and Milinkovic deserve to be dropped after Saturday, while Brandon seemed lost at LB. This is a game that Levein will, first and foremost, set out a team to match up to the opposition physically and stop them playing. Cochrane and Henderson can come on when the Hibs cloggers (Bartley, McGinn et all) have finally been booked, and Stockton can come on and bounce a few of them around once Isma and Lafferty have run out of puff.

Mac80 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 team wise id probably go for this.... Jon Smith berra souttar Grezlak walker randall callachan cochrane milinkovic lafferty Will probably be wrong but id try and flood the midfield, id rather see cochrane than buaben tbh. I know its a big game for a 16 year old but i think he can handle it, also like milinkovic in there as he is strong and doesnt hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcginn has a bit quality, granted. The rest can be countered with energy and doing the basics right. Walker, Callahan, walker,skinny and Randall can be competitive against the hibs midfield. Launching balls to Stockton won't help us at all. We dominated Aberdeen and they are better, people need to get a grip on the idea that hibs have the best midfield since the 1970's Brazil team. Replacing one of our best players with a guy who has played about 90 minutes of league football, isn't the answer imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Don’t understand why folk are thinking we should put Grzelak in for the game he’s a liability and will end up getting sent off. Randall in at right and move Smith across to the left. Harsh on Brandon who came onto a game Saturday but I wouldn’t throw him in against Hibs at left back.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I keep going over this in my head. We need strength through the middle to break up the attack and we need to take advantages of their weakness against high balls into the box. This seems a bit nuts but: McLaughlin Souttar Berra Grzelak Smith Randall Callachan Cochrane Walker Isma Lafferty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedthefox Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Callahan and Walker have to show more, Callachan especially was annonymous on Saturday. Steaming into an early tackle and being booked then having to play the rest of the game with handbrake on is no use at all. Cochrane at least looked like he wanted the ball into feet and was prepared to keep it simple but he will be bundled off the ball. Assuming Djoum and Cowie are unfit it falls on Walker to be our central playmaker with Callachan breaking things up and Cochran (big assumption he's starting) picking up pieces and making the passes. It will be won or lost in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's in the form of a third CH or a DM we're in dire need of another defensive player to break up the attack through the middle, which is where Hibs strength is, and while Buaben played well against County he was (so I hear) horrific against St. Johnstone. I'm not convinced it's Grzelak but he is willing to get stuck in and break up the attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Randall got sent off last time out but he doesn’t look like a loose cannon everytime he takes the field. Plus I think Randall brings more to the team than Grzelak. I agree I would rather we use Smith on the right but with no out and out left back just now we have to use square pegs for round holes.

We need the 2 strikers to play closer to each other rather than 40 yards apart. Lafferty left centre & ismal right centre and switching from time to time. They both love through balls to run on to and i can't see why these 2 can't cause havic in the Hibs defence with the midfield and defenders playing the right balls into the channels.
