slfjambo Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Derby blow for Hibs as Jones ruled out :xmasgrin::xmasgrin::xmasgrin: Published Date: 02 January 2009 By DAVID HARDIE HIBS' derby day hopes were dealt a massive blow when boss Mixu Paatelainen today ruled skipper Rob Jones out of tomorrow's trip to Tynecastle. And Paatelainen was unable to say if the towering defender will be fit to face Hearts when they travel in the opposite direction eight days later for a Homecoming Scottish Cup showdown at Easter Road. Jones has been battling all week to overcome a hamstring problem which forced him to limp out of the action just 28 minutes into last weekend's defeat by Kilmarnock. But while insisting he'd give 6ft 7in Jones every chance to make the short journey to Gorgie for the lunchtime start, Paatelainen today admitted: "Rob probably won't make it." Paatelainen, however, insisted his side can get over the loss of such an influential figure, claiming he has already decided on a replacement with his team for tomorrow already settled in his head. He said: "Rob is a very important player for us and we'd rather have him in the side but we have plenty of options so there won't be a problem. Injuries are part and parcel of the game, that's why we have a squad of players so there's always someone else to come in. "There's no reason why we cannot play a solid defensive game without him. As for next week, we'll have to see how it goes." Paatelainen could continue with Steven Thicot, who replaced Jones against Killie, alongside Chris Hogg, move Sol Bamba back from his midfield berth or switch Ian Murray from left-back to central defence. However, whoever is chosen to partner Hogg, Paatelainen knows his players will have to ensure there's no repeat of the gift-wrapped goals which were presented to Kilmarnock. He said: "Last week was a disappointment for all of us but you never win all your games. It's behind us and our full concentration is on tomorrow. We have to play the full game as a team, as a unit instead of individual players, that's very important." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 He's a fecking liability anyway. Who will play centre half for them now? I genuinely don't know their other centre halfs names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT's & Irons Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Big Miss for them. Think it will have an effect on their confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I suspect Murray will move to CH and some little w@nker they think will be worth millions in years to come will play at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Stinkfinger Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 When we win does that mean that they had to play all their reserves AGAIN. :xmasgrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 He's a fecking liability anyway. Who will play centre half for them now? I genuinely don't know their other centre halfs names. Either Bamba will move from midfield, or Murray will move from LB with lewis stevenson playing LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 He's a fecking liability anyway. Who will play centre half for them now? I genuinely don't know their other centre halfs names. Before we broke up for New Year from work I was speaking to a couple of Hibs fans, who stated he had to be in their side Saturday, for them to have any chance. My reaction was similar to yours, obviously they see him playing more than we do, but I just couldn't work out how or why they rated him so highly.

Dirk Diggler Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I suppose he would have been a threat at set pieces, especially with Zaliukas missing. I think Nade will get the better of either Hogg or Bamba. Will the Hibs fans view this as good or bad news? **Edit just seen PJ1s post above.

H2 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It's amazin when we think we have problems, but in reality we do have some decent cover. They lose one key player and they are very very nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reaction was similar to yours, obviously they see him playing more than we do, but I just couldn't work out how or why they rated him so highly. my hibbee mates are the same. All think he is a decent player but couldn't really explain why. Or the answer would be height and pressence etc but jones is a big fairy. I don't get it either, he is murder.

HillmanHearts Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Jones is pretty good in the opposition box and we normally have Zal marking him at set pieces - so with Zal out I'm quite happy that Jones is also out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor.Arturo Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Big Nade to put in a crunching tackle in the first 5 minutes, and they're defence will be sh***ng themselves to come near for the rest of the game. I see us putting at least 3 past the tramps, the 1-0 wins finish today! FTH ps. Just cracked open a can of Stella (breakfast of champions), and put on the 20 Jambo classics cd. Good feeling for today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
