gregzy2k7 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 One things for sure Jorge Grant needs to start this game. If we are sticking to 3 at the back and assuming Kinsley is still injured, then I would go with Gordon Sibbick Halkett Rowles Atkinson Grant Haring Cochrane Forrest Shankland Mckay In terms of the result I can see this being a tight game as we are away from home, I will go with another 2-1 win but I wouldn't be surprised if we drew 1-1, we really need to start the match better than we did against County.

Thumperbeni Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 3 hours ago, McCrae said: He played very well yesterday. How many challenges did he lose? How many chances were created by mistakes he made? How many times did the ball over the top beat him? How many missed passes? Sibbick has had a very good preseason. If Kingsley is out who else would you play? He was caught in possession countless times yesterday and gave the ball away on a number of occasions, looked a bag of nerves whenever he was given the ball and wanted to get rid of it almost immediately. Improved slightly after the break but that wouldn’t have been hard as he was awful first half, he should not be played in a defensive role again, could possibly do a job as a sitting midfielder but as long as we have fit defenders then he shouldn’t get a sniff in defence IMO.

Absolute Scenes Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hibs fans are really relishing playing us after scraping a last minute winner against the basket case that is St Johnstone. Suddenly all is forgotten - quite frightening how their minds work. We faced a wired and match sharp County team who will be fighting for top 6 again and still came out winners when we weren't on our game, or had our strongest team starting/playing.

Gets the back up with refs in my opinion. I think he could be a liabilty with their wind-up merchants like Campbell and Porteous and is a strong candidate for a red card. I agree about Boyce and thought he should have been on earlier on Saturday alongside Shankland. I do appreciate though that Shankland has not played too many games and Robbie is not wanting to stretch him too far too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good I’m glad he’s a wee gobshite he has never been a liability so not sure where this comes from glad we agree about Boyce. Not sure playing only Boyce or Shankland would work, think starting both as well as Grant is a good shout. Not sure who drops for him though. Smith back to the bench?

Bauld Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I feel like the derby is exactly the type of game we need Haliday and Devlin for. Not necessarily on at the same time. But having at least one of them chasing down their midfield all game and giving them no time on the ball will be essential. We need to go into this prepared for a fight. We'll have plenty on the park just incase a football match breaks out. But in the middle we need maximum energy and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
