HMFC01 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 So it's official now, we are playing 4th place hibbies in 2 weeks. Former spl favourites. Oh the drama. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think they have been incredibly lucky. Played 5 games in October with 4 wins and 1 draw. The draw was a 0-0 at Ross County while all of the wins but one were nicked by a single goal. The only match they won by more than a singe goal was a 3-1 against the mighty Brora Rangers. Plus one of those nicked by a goal was a 2-1 against Cove Rangers. Come to think about it they're jammy against anything that has Rangers in it. They're due a fall. Overdue in fact.

Jamie86 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Tough game away to Killie on Saturday, a few positive COVID tests midweek after the trip to Ayrshire and a pumping at Hampden = meltdown in Leith. Wouldn't have it any other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAndrew Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 They are getting pumped. Crap against Ross County. Their multi-zillion pounds worth of Boyle, see Roadrunner mk II, was rubbish, as usual. Yet the commentators seemed to have been watching a different game given the love in comments. This bump as they hit the earth is going to hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Jack Ross: “There have been times in recent years both clubs have found themselves outside the top division for different reasons and I don’t think either club would offer too much sympathy for the other because of the circumstances." Was one of those reasons Hibs were in the lower league a global pandemic and a 30-game season decided by a vote? This needs to be pinned up dressing room. Sporting integrity went out the window, with football people like Ross seemingly OK with not playing full seasons and deciding positions by votes. Every single footballer and manager should have been against things being decided by a vote and they should have made that clear.

Bazzas right boot Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) The only thing that I'm concerned with is if we get caught cold in the first 15/20 minutes. Scottish football isn't overly burdened with technical players at any level but there is a jump in pace, fitness and physicality from our division to the top 6. We'll have played Dundee, ict, Arbroath, Cowden etc and hibs will be a jump up to what we've been used recently. Hibs have played Aberdeen, Celtic, rangers etc as well as more games. If we can be ready for that we'll win, maybe even comfortably. Edited October 21, 2020 by Smith's right boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hibs will be favourites for this game. A game that shouldn't even be getting played. Hibs' strength is their attacking play. Boyle will run all day for them. Nisbet will be desperate to score and they like a dig from midfield. We need to get the defensive midfield area sorted out now. Adam just strolled through our midfield for Dundee's first goal. One thing that's always been different between the two teams is that Hibs defence over the decades have always been suspect. Attack them and they crumble. Hearts on the other hand would always take what they could throw at us and steal a win against them if we'd had a poor game. Our defence has generally always been the strongest part of out teams. As for this game...I still say we should've brought a solid and experienced defender in. If we are to lose this one then chances are it's because our central defensive areas (including defensive midfield) aren't strong enough, something that I suspect in any case. Attack them and keep attacking them and they will melt. Jack Dross..oops Draws...I mean..Ross is the king of 0-0/1-1 etc. i'm sure he'd take that and try to hang on for a penalty shoot-out. We can't let it get to that. If both Haring and Halliday play then we will increase our chance of winning. Haring, cool and composed on the ball, Halliday snapping at folks heels could be a perfect compliment to each other. Irving is very in-experienced in comparison to H & H. Lee is far more productive a bit further up the park. Play these two together in defensive midfield and Hibs will fancy their chances a little bit more. Think we need an early goal to unsettle them and cast some doubt in their minds. Keep the ball out wide away from Boyle and he can't do much damage. He's their main attacking threat. I'd also be tempted to tell the players (if there's no easy pass to a team-mate on) to crack a shot or two at Marciano. He's no the greatest when he's under pressure.

Spot on, Haring and Halliday are perfect for this game but their fitness might not be up to 90 minutes on that big pitch. Boyle must be pushed back by our LB and winger. They like to start in a 5-3-2 so 4-3-3 should get the better of that. Marciano is crap under pressure and shots, crosses and pressing back passes must be the plan. Can’t wait.

BigAlim Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I imagine Gogic will be focused on kicking Walker into the stands and Porteous will try the same with Boyce. I think we need to get Ginelly running at Hanlon if they go with a back three and try to make sure our centre mids push up the park as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I can feel another 5-1 coming on. I know that many of my chums on ,net are very nervous. They're not silly these people. They remember only too well that the last time we played them, and we were in considerable disarray, all they could manage was a late consolation goal. And that was at the Giro. This time we've got Gordon, Haring and so many others that it's all looking a bit grim for the warrior poets. We can't afford to be complacent though. Their lethal strike force knocked in 0 at Dingwall. Robbie will be alert to that. We also have to show respect to their senior players. Stevenson and Gray may be pensioners but there's many a good tune played on a very old fiddle. So, all things considered, and following a neutral and disappasionate appraisal, I think we're going to crush these treacherous pricks.
