Wee Mikey Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Including tonight, there are only 8 sleeps until the Derby at Albion Place Stadium. The countdown has started ... A 12:00 KO is not ideal, but I suspect that come 13:45 we'll be having a party, and the H1b5 will (still) be in their beds. Of course, the party may well have begun by 12:45. Do not be surprised if H1b5' TIFO resembles rows and columns of green seats. My prediction is 0-3, based on this season's opening performances. An evening win is special when squeezing over the so-called 'Bridge of Doom', but a daytime one on Sunday 7th August 2022 will be equally good.

Gmcjambo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hopefully the County game has done us the world of good re getting up to speed. Two player combinations that I hope we don’t see are Natty/Sibbick right side of defence and Haring/Smith in midfield. Going to very very tight, but if we are really up for it I reckon we’ll win by the odd goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William H. Bonney Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 No idea what hibs are like after one game. We were fairly poor yesterday so a huge improvement is required. 1-1 would be my prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Ross County are a better side than Hibs I’ve no doubt. 0–1 to us will do. Haring / Smith won’t be as poor again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Having watched their highlights, a we need to be up for physical battles and b we need a strong referee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy T Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Start like we did yesterday both tempo and team and Hibs will run all over us. From the bits I’ve watched of them they run about a lot and if you give them time they have players who can pick a pass. However given how many derby debutants they’re likely to have if we get into them from the start there’s a few that’ll go missing. Cadden needs stopped high up the pitch, and we can’t be diving into challenges in the box, they look to have a few show ponies who’ll collapse at the slightest contact. If Kingsley is out we need to work out the best defensive 3, it’s certainly not what we saw yesterday. Grant or Boyce in the 10, I’m still not sure about Atkinson but he may be out anyway. I think Smith is a better option for ER. We need Devlins energy in midfield beside big Pete and dominate that Hibs pair and we know Newall will lose the plot if it’s not going his way. All that said I think it’ll be a low scoring affair either a 1-0 or 1-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson1874 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Last season's league matches with Hibs; 0 - 0 (H) 0 - 0 (A) 3 - 1 (H) 5 points from a possible 9. The game yesterday against Ross County will have done us the world of good getting competitive minutes in the legs leading up to next weekend. Hopefully Devlin is fully fit and we see him return to the starting lineup. I’m liking the combinations between Forrest, Shankland and McKay and you can just see Barrie is learning how to play with Shankland, seeing which runs he makes etc. It will click at some point between those two and there’s no better time than in the Derby!

We beat them 2-1 at home last season as well, exactly the same score. Your view of us being defensive is nonsense as we were 3rd top goal scorers last season, and if going on this season, jont top goal scorers. Your view of "Hearts being too Defensive" - nonsense, utter tripe. In fact, it's just not true, it's an opinion that is incorrect and wrong.
