Another reserve match.   So that's Spartans, Edinburgh City and we play Hibs reserves 31st of October.  👍

 

Looks like the game's on tonight reading that EEN article below.

Robbie was saying that it will be a second string side (naturally with the Partick game tomorrow.) Trialist, 18 year old Maxym Kucheriavyi(Max) will play. Game is being played at Tynecastle.

Perhaps we’ll get to see a bit of this streamed on Hearts TV as part of the test event that supposed to take place this evening?

At least three ex Hearts in there.

Full strength City side so will be a good game for the second XI.

Also Jonathan Jarron on the bench.  A few ex-Hobos too.

I remember watching City when Balatoni first signed and he was a class above. Surprised he didn't stay at a higher level a bit longer

Have we had any chances then? Sounds like we're getting battered

Sounds like Edinburgh are all over us

Cheers.  Looks about right, I would say.  Is McGill a mid, Denholm a CH and Gordon a mid?

[stuart500]

We seem to be relying on tweets by Edin City. Maybe slightly biased in their favour? Or we are being battered!! It is a relatively young lightweight side..but a shot or two would be nice.

I'd caveat this with the source being the Edinburgh City tweets.

As this is all from city's Twitter they are only going to tell you city's chances.

HT | Plenty  chances but it’s level at the break | HMFC 0-0 CITY

[HMFC01]

Edinburgh City usually falter in the 2nd half.  I'll give them until 60 minutes until we score.

All three are midfielders, although for some unknown reason Aidan Denholm started at right back in the game against Spartans last weekend.

Thanks.  They could be trying to employ the same logic as they did with Hickey, I've no idea how similar Denholm is.  If Denholm is defensive  it might.

An indication that Hearts are having chances and the City Twitter just aren't mentioning them.

Interesting that Hamilton started. Suggests that someone else will play centre back against Partick. I believe Popescu is still in his quarantine period. Seems too early for Berra to be back. Brandon not listed tonight so maybe Smith at centre back. Haring another option. Maybe even a surprise trialist?

 

I take it McDonald is injured? Don't think he was involved against Spartans either.

Marc Laird ex Hutchie vale to.man city, Antel, Crane, Harris, Handling, Campbell all ex or loan from Hibs.

We are short until Romanian can play for sure at centre back, prob Smith behind Halkett

Was just thinking the exact same. Expect a back 4 of Garuccio, Smith, Halkett and Brandon tomorrow.

Scored two cracking free kicks against Millwall in the friendly. Really thought he'd be a player. 🙄😁

 

 

[Tommy Brown]

Marc Laird has had a reasonable career in lower EFL. Didn't know he was at EC.

The Hobos thought that Alex Harris was similarly destined for stardom.

Edinburgh City have done well in attracting good players last few years.
