Bogdan injured.
Noticed he had Porteous taking goal kicks for him towards the end of the Motherwell match on Sunday. I thought it was because he took a shot to the baws when making a save but seems like it was a hip injury.
No matter what team you pick there's a massive SJM sized hole in it that I cant see how we are going to fill. If anything we will probably just have to go as attacking as we can get away with and hope for a 2 goal lead to take over there.
I know practically everybody has Slivka in their line up and I can see why because who else is there, but he is going to have to massively up his game from Sunday. I watched the whole game back on ALBA and he looked like he had put on someone else's boots by mistake giving the ball away a number of times … hell at one point he got into such a fankle under little pressure he beat himself and ran the ball out of play. The one positive though was his surging runs from midfield, he did get himself into the box a couple of times with runs from deep and that I really like.
Laidlaw ( if Bogdan cant play )
Ambrose, Porteous, Hanlon
Gray, Mallan, Slivka, Bartley, Stevenson
Boyle, Kamberi
Though I have to say the signing of the guy from Bournmouth seems to me indicative of Lennon's lack of confidence in Slivka and I wouldn't be in the slightest surprised to see him chucked in at the deep end instead of him.
I've a feeling we might try something left-field, and include Hyndman in the starting line-up in a bid to surprise Molde.

Jamie to come on for Boyle at some point. We need to try and not concede.
Bogdan being out just sums things up for us over the last 24 hours!
Never a dull moment being a Hibs fan.
I don't see Stevenson pushing up very much. Boyle would end up stretched between defence and attack and Flo fairly isolated. I can see us playing a bit more direct at times as we struggle with the loss of mcginn and having someone up there with Flo would help with that.
I agree Molde are a very good team. I just don't think the best way to go against a very good team is to sit back so much.
Your being very harsh on Slivka..he came on at a time when we had totally fallen out the game due to fatigue from last Thurs. Granted he wasn't great but he'd played well in both legs v Asteras so don't get the OTT critique....and he shouldn't be compared to SJM as that's not fair neither

Who will be on the bench as back up goalie if Bogdan is bogged down by injury and is oot?
If Bogdan and Daz are out, I'd go:
Laidlaw
Gray Efe Hanlon Stevenson
Marv
Slivka Mallan
Hyndman
Boyle Kamberi
4-4-1-1
Bogdan/Laidlaw

Hanlon
Stevenson
Boyle
Slivka

Kamberi
Or if Hyndman can't play bring in Bartley and move Mallan forward
