Really makes no odds what team we put out, they are all like a bunch of strangers who would much prefer to be anywhere else than in a Hibs strip. This current Hibs "team" know full well that nobody wants them here. The manager has made it clear that many will be shipped out in the summer, and the fans barely tolerate them. The Derby will be all about how much Hearts want to win it. They will be up for it even more than the last one, and this Hibs "team' will capitulate as always.

As per my previous posts we will loose the Derby we need to focus on games we can win Partick at home is our cup final. yams are relegated so not important right now we have 3 massive games after the Derby lets focus on these games.

This post has sapped alot of energy out of me.

[hfc rd]

Get the f****** U20's in!

We have more chance of winning with them in the team rather than those bunch of cowards in the current 1st team.

Glad you are not in charge, rediculous team.

It's no more ridiculous than the 'experienced pros' we try to cobble together into a team every other week.

It makes me so sad and angry, but I have to say I agree with this post. What a mess we are in. The yams will be out to drag us down with them, no doubt about that. We'll get no sympathy from them, and that's the way it should be. Unlike our lot, soft as s****.

The only slight ray of hope I have is that regularly in derbies, the team going in who should win and get a decent result ends up losing.

that's because it's usually us...

I would love to hear what the players have to say because so far they have said nothing

We will get one of the "players" quoted in the EEN next week coming out with the usual platitudes. Sick and tired of all the bull****.

Call me an optimist but I think we'll turn-up for this one and win.

Our entire season (and possibly future seasons) may well rest on this game - it's only the Hertz for goodness sake, hopefully they're not assisted by a certain ref and we'll win.

All will be sweetness and light on this board next week. :o

Eternal Hibbie = eternal optimist! Good for you mate, I hope you are right. Sadly, I think you are wrong I'm afraid.

Just been thinking about this while walking the dog...

This time two years ago, we were facing two massive games, the league game v Dunfermline on 7 May, then of course the Cup Final on 19 May. I was thinking that next week's derby is like both of those rolled into one. I was thinking that it will be even bigger (or more critical, long term, than the Cup Final). And I was thinking that, despite how bad things have been lately, we can surely put out a side that can win next week.

Then I got home and checked the team that beat Dunfermline 4-0 that night. And (with the exception of Kujabi, who was hooked at half-time, and who I would still have at left back in preference to McGivern, and bearing in mind that Sparky was suspended), it is frightening how much better that line-up (bench included) was to what we have now.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

The team? Past caring, but...

Williams

Forster
McPake (even if not 100%. Better than Nelson)
McGivern (I know, I know)
Stevenson

Watmore
Thomson
Robertson
Stanton

Handling
Cummings

[KuqiKuqiCoo]

The team I'd play:
Williams
Black Mcpake Forster Stevenson
Thompson Jones/U20
Watmore Stanton Zoubir
Cummings
I'm not completely sure on black but I've heard from a lot of people he looks promising, and I don't know many U20s so I don't know of any midfielders that could swap in at that centre midfield spot.

[Paisley Hibby]

Our whole club is clueless, spineless and demoralised. As others have said, it doesn't really matter who plays. I really fear for us next week.

[Django]

Williams

Maybury Forster McPake Stevenson

Taiwo Thomson

Watmore Stanton Harris

Cummings

Bombscare defense

[TheFamous1875]

Is it not as easy as....

Williams.

Black. Forster. Nelson. Stevenson.

Smith. Thomson.

Watmore. Stanton. Harris.

Cummings.

THIS!...could not agree more!

[Borderhibbie76]

How anyone who was at Paisley could even consider playing Nelson I have no idea...absolute liability...my ma would win more headers than this joker...there must be a better option. ..even if it is an untried kid!! And dont get me started on Forster...he aint much better

This please but just can't see it happening.

[DH1875]

If I go, no matter what happens it'll be my last derby for a good few years. We'll either be in different divisions or if we go down I'm no going back (happy clappers, do one).
So any how, is anyone heading through from the weege or west? Looking like I'm gonna be on my own and I can't be arsed but if anyone wants to be my pal for the day I'll end up making the trip through.

[GlenrothesHibee]

Even if we do win the derby and somehow avoid the playoffs it is another abysmal season. Big changes are needed at the club. Tom Farmer deserves eternal thanks for saving us and making us a well run business along with Petrie but the club needs football driven leadership from the top. We have been a club heading for relegation for years now. If its not this season it will be next. The club is driving fans away in their thousands and nothing is being done. Unfortunately Petrie has the safest job in the UK, Farmer wont get rid. Sorry Sir Tom but step aside and sell the club to a football person or we will never move forward. This fan won't be back until this happens and it hurts because its the club I adore.

[mutley]

My fear of the derby is that the yams are ALWAYS more up for it. The team better get their heads round that fact or should I say FACT

Where did he say we should have won any of the derbies ??

[cleanyman]

We will lose.

The team doesn't matter.

[Humo]

The most important game in the rest of the season is in 7 days and so we need a hibs team that cares and has proper fight. With that in mind this is my team

-------------------Cummings------------------

--Craig------------Stanton-------------Watmore


--------------Thomson-----Roberston (if fit if not then Stevenson)---------



----McGivern-----McPake (C)-------Forster-------Black----


-----------------------Williams---------------------------




Go for a 4-2-3-1 tell the lads to go in with no fear. Thomson playing as a ball winning midfielder and robertson supporting both attack and defence playing box to box.

Bit risky to play Craig given his recent form but he was good in that position and if hes not playing as deep then it could definitely work.
