Any thoughts on preferences for the team on Saturday?
I'd like to see us change things a little :
Smith
Wotherspoon (RB)
Hogg (CH)
Hanlon (CH)
Murray (LB)
Zemmama (RM)
McBride(CM)
Miller (CM)
Galbraith (LM)
Stokes (CF)
Riordan (CF)
I reckon that side has a good balance to it, with Miller and McBride pulling the strings in the middle, Zouma and Galbraith providing the width to supply two of the most potent threats in the country.
We get a look at Hanlon in the CH role that Yogi's been touting him for, and get Murray and Wotherspoon bombing up and down either flank.
Results 1 to 30 of 42

Don't know how realistic this is but I know a midfielder than plays for Hibs 17s but sometimes is on the bench for the 19s and he's assured me that Yogi's told him he's on the bench for the Irvine Meadow game.
I think he's having me on but he's not usually one to lie.

Some talented boys at the club, and if we're cruising at any point in the game then a run out would be a great experience for them.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Lot of hard games coming up this month so would like to rest one or two key players and give the fringe players a run out.
Gk. Smith
Rb. Wotherspoon
Cb. Hogg
Cb. Thicot
Lb. Hanlon
Rm. Byrne
Cm. Cregg
Cm. McBride
Lm. Galbraith
Cf. Benji
Cf. Nish
Should surely be enough there to see a non league team away.

I'd go with that team too Matty. They should be perfectly capable of giving us a buffer that allows some youngsters to come on with half an hour to go.

I don't know whether we should start a strong starting eleven or give our fringe players a start. I slightly think Yogi might give the fringe players a start because we have an important 'battle for third place' match against Dun Utd in a weeks time and he might not want any of his best players to pick up a knock or an injury. Our fringe players should be capable of getting the win against Irvine.

I hope he tries out the 442 soon. It might not tell him much in this game but it gives them a bit of practice before the Dundee United game and gives Hanlon a shot in at CH. Get Riordan up front instead of wasting him out on the left.
If Zemamma's still got a hamstring problem I'd leave him out altogether and play Wotherspoon at RB with maybe Benji or Byrne in RM? I assume McCormack will miss the next 3 matches no matter the competition?

Spot on
Let's give Irvine Meadow some respect - they have earned the right to be at ER on Saturday

I would only make one change to the team and that would be to leave Zemmama out due to his hamstring why risk it, when we have important league games coming up. I would bring in Nish and move Riordan out wide (even though I want him in the middle) and put Galbraith down the right.

I think there's a danger in making wholesale changes to the team, players who have not played together as a team for any length of time will not know their strenghs/weaknesses, seeing as i think the game will be physical from the start, i would play as strong a team as possible, it is the Scottish Cup after all

I read something from Hughes earlier and he's saying that he intends to play the strongest team possible on Saturday.
With that in mind, I would go with;
Smith
Murray
Hanlon
Hogg
Wotherspoon
McBride
Miller
Cregg
Zemmama (If not fit then Rankin)
Stokes
Riordan
SUBS
Flynn
Thicot
Stevenson
Rankin (If Zemmama isn't fit then Galbraith)
Nish

But I wonder what young Byrne, for example, would make of not even being listed in the side for a match at home against junior opposition? Potentially demotivating for him, perhaps?

I'd go for
Smith
Murray
Thicot
Hogg
Wotherspoon
McBride
Miller
Cregg
Zemmama
Stokes
Riordan
I would worry about Zemmama getting injured against a team like Irvine Meadows, but then I remember that he isn't exactly coming up against cultured footballers in the SPL every week either.
I'd respect Irvine Meadow, also respect the fact that it's Hibs and the Scottish Cup, and put out a strong side. However, I would like to see what Thicot is like at CB again after two assured performances against Hearts there.

That s my team for the rest of the season if possible to be honest Matty. I have wanted it for a while but with Injuries etc it hasn't been possible.
Also would like to see a few of last seasons uner 19's on the bench. Namingly Welch and Currie but I do no know if they are away yet. Also want young curtis to get a good run out bag, bag himself a few goals and a bit of confidence for upcoiming league games should we need him.

Anyone who's not 100% fit, should be rested, and the team should be made up from those who are. Whatever permutation of those players should be good enough.

I hope he takes the opportunity to rest a few players that have played every week and bring in a few that have had to wait for a chance.
My team would be
Smith
McCormack---Thicot---Hanlon---Stevenson
Wotherspoon---McBride---Cregg---Galbraith
Nish---Benji
This team should be more than good enough to beat an amateur team and the likes of Hoggy, Murray, Miller, Zemmama, Deek & Stokes could be on the bench if needed and get a weeks rest.
