The teams from 3rd to 9th are remarkably similar in terms of goals scored, all between 31 (Dons/Killie) and 36 (Dundee/Well). Hibs are on 33, with us on 35. Defence is where the real differences are. With the same 7 teams having concedeed between 27 (us/Killie) and 44 (Well), with Hibs on 42. These teams are in exact order of goals conceded. For all the comments about how we need to be more attacking, our position is largely based on how solid we've been at the back.

I think the comments on us being more attacking are because we’ve only scored 35 league goals, when we have the best striker in the league who we create extremely little for.

That's me exactly!! Hate the idea of losing to them.

Oh for a match we aren't clinging on to a slender lead or drawing as the time ticks by.  Wrecks my BP!

 

😊👍

 

3-0 up in the 2006 semi, Hibs down to 10 and I was still fretting.

Hopefully Vargas, Forrest and Shankland can all last the 90. We won’t have many attacking options on the bench 

[Gorgie_Rules]

Anybody know any broadcasters showing it internationally (except Hearts tv) or does Sky not covering it mean it is on nowhere?

[Walter Kidd]

**** THE HIBS.  That is all.

[Lovecraft]

Probably going to be heavy rain during the game.

Good point, up until Saturday we had been solid. I hope there's not any hangover and it's a return to giving very little away

No, but I have one for 3-0 at full time.

 

We won't start 4-4-2

[moz]

Cammy, if fit, to start...with Hoff and Beni in the middle

No lost his place to Jock the Jambo.

4231 and nothing else. Get big Craig back in goals. They play out from the back so push high and press high.

Take the game to them man....straight from kick off...!

Cammy wont last, so Tait to replace him around the 65th minute mark....[or whenever we go 3 goals up....whichever is first  ]

 

After the fifth goal goes in we put big Zander up top to muscle his way around their back 4 as well.....

Someone posted a vid of Hearts goals from a Hibs POV. Great stuff.

Over on mysisterismymaw.net the wee team filth are saying they have only won 8 times at Tynie in the last 45 years.

 

That is unbelievably poor.

Talk about dominance in Derby games.

It's so one sided it's embarrassing for the spoonburners.

 

No wonder they hate and envy us. 🙂

Does anybody know if you can enter gorgie stand via the main stand?

With who? Whoever it is should just keep calling him Tom Daley or John Travolta (or another rug wearer)!

You cant the other way so I don’t think so, ask a steward though.

Lets go out and earn it first!

[copa-mundial]

Missing the game tonight due to work. 

Be the first home Derby I've missed since January 2006. 

In Missing it. I'll glady take the same result tonight as that day back then. 

 

In all honesty. I'd take a 1-0 win right now.  

Just win Hearts. Just win!

I thought they broke double figures 5,6 years ago?  I’ll check but I think they won a couple in a short spell at Tynie and it grated.  As you say, they had been on 7 or 8 for over 40 odd years and I wanted it to stay that way.  
 

EDIT:  aye, unfortunately it’s 10 now since 1978.

The corner of the concourse used to be blocked off before kick off. Not sure if they still do that, you could say you had been in hospitality and have a seat in the Gorgie and they'll let you pass.

You can walk from Main Stand all way to Wheatfield. You can only use main stand turnstiles with a main stand ticket tho.

Hopefully someone hits Newell hard early on. A horrible *******. 

Effing despise him as a player but his left peg is quite useful. Hit him hard. And early

Just walk round the corner via the tyne arms for a jar or 2😃.

Still utterly pathetic figures though, lol.

Toss of a coin between Lembikisa and Atkinson. I'd lean towards Natty if pushed, but wouldn't complain either way. Aside from that, I'd go with exactly this line up.

1 ticket for tonight available, I've already bought it for another poster who has left me with it.

This feels a bit like when one of the OF gets a doing in Europe from someone with a budget 100 times ours and people start posting that we should be copying their style. Little value in them trying to copy Rangers' approach when the main 'tactic' Rangers deployed was having better players than us. Hibs definitely don't have that to rely on.

[indianajones]

3-0. 

 

Shanks x2

Forrest
