It’s whether we can keep them out is the big question. We have to be due a clean sheet sometime. 2-0 I thought a clean sheet was coming at ht last night. We nearly lost three in second half though pen was never a pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love it when they are full of confidence going into the derby. It's a new game that has to be won by effort, skill and desire.

True, but this is a Derby; we should be extremely motivated as usual 25 minutes ago, Robbo-Jambo said: Vital we don't give the referee any decision to make to give us a red. Absolutely; this 'referee' has given us 3 reds in the last 2 games he has (mis) managed and we can't give him any excuse, being at home makes no difference; he seems a strange ref and person Humphrys available would be good 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could cause us some problems in the wide areas as Youan and Cadden get forward so we need to be alert. Not sure who the ref is for this one yet but he needs to be strong as they will be kicking us all over the place. Porteous is suspended.

karipidis Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hibs have started well in there last 3 games, but faded terribly in the second half (even against 10 men Livi they conceded 2 pens in the second half). We have to match them for the first 15-20 mins and then take control of the game. Nothing to fear whatsoever but need to be switched on early doors.

5jambo1 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Same team as last night? Same shape? McKay in for Grant possibly? Kingsley in for Halliday and move Cochrane to LWB? What are the thoughts on Forrest? I think I’d start him again. Gives us pace and an added threat going forward. Youan is also probably there biggest threat so gives us a bit more pace on that side of the park rather than Smith. I think Smith has the better football brain and is solid defensively but if we really want to go at them I would be tempted to start Forrest again. He does sometimes give the ball away, he sometimes makes the wrong decisions and he does sometimes go missing, but he works his socks off and when he does get the ball, he drives forward. This was evident last night and was one of the reasons we were really good in the first 30 mins. His final ball may not be the best either but at least he’s in those positions and he does add a goal threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DxB Hearts Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Anything less than 2 wins against this lot next month is a failure.

1971fozzy Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Halliday has to play. He’s hated by them and I want a repeat of last season when he sickened them.

Luckies1874 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Be surprised if Hibs don't score given how many chances we are giving up but am very confident we will cause them lots more trouble at the other end. If we play we'll win this 3 or 4-1, possibly more if we want it badly enough. I like the atmosphere around the entire club and I feel like RN and the players will now how important this one is. We let them off the hook big time back in August, we should put them to the sword and run all over them on Monday. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
