Anyone know how the injury list is looking?
Do we expect Gray and Malonga to play?
I would guess Watson would play in place of Gray, but I hope Malonga is fit. I think Cummings and Djedje/Boyle doesn't give us much of a physical presence up top and Malonga's hold up play and ball retention is second to none.

I'd guess;
Oxley
Watson
Hanlon
Fontaine
Stevenson
Robertson
Allan
McGeoch
Craig
Cummings
Malonga.
Think Gray will sit this one out and can see Fyvie get a rest due to playing the 90 v Berwick. If I was picking I'd maybe have Stanton in for Craig but I think this will be the team. Good to have Boyle and Djedje on the bench

'David Gray and Dominique Malonga are expected to shake off knocks while Keith Watson and Martin Boyle are available after being cup-tied.
Livingston include recent signing Darren Cole but former Hibs youngster Brad Donaldson misses out with injury.
The visitors have also had illness to deal with, four players having missed training over the weekend'.

Want to see Stanton get a start after his impressive cameo at the weekend and either McGeouch or Allan rested with a view to Saturday which will be a greater test imo. Also, Boyle and Watson to start having been cup tied for the weekend, allowing us to rest Gray and Malonga depending on how serious their knocks were.
Oxley, Watson, Hanlon, Fontaine, Stevenson, Robertson, Fyvie, McGeouch/Allan, Stanton, Boyle, Cummings.Last edited by HibsNutter; 11-03-2015 at 02:49 PM. Reason: ten players, duh.

Assuming everybody is match fit, and not carrying any knocks, we should be starting with our strongest 11. We can take players off if/when we think the game is won, and that should apply in every game in the run in I'd say.

Strongest starting 11 possible tonight.

If everyone is fit I would keep with the same team as Saturday with the exception of Scott A. He looks a bit jaded to me and it hasn't really happened for him in the last few weeks. Stanton would replace Scott for me after his excellent subs appearance on Saturday.
If Gray has even a hint of an injury I would leave him out and replace him with Watson.
Momentum is everything though an if everyone is fit I can see Stubbs keeping the same 11

Dont want anyone rested tonight to be honest. This is a big game for us, Rangers dropping points last night we need to take advantage of that. Strongest 11 is required tonight IMO.

I'd like to see stanton get a full game. He was our only positive last season and I feel for him not getting game time.

Watson, Forster, Fontaine, Stevenson could keep Livi out surely, with Gray & Hanlon back for a potential battle on the bog at Central Park.

We weren't great tonight but easily deserved to win. Liam Craig's pass for the first was sublime.

Also, given we won (and you described it as a must win) it was hardly madness.

Massive risk to leave out our best 3 players from the starting 11.
When McGeoch came on, it highlighted how important he is to our midfield and how we missed him for the 1st 70 mins whilst he sat on the bench.

Stubbs picked a team that he thought would win the game - we won the game, therefore he was correct. To criticise the team selection is churlish, as is criticising the performance, as we were the better team and we won.
Why on earth anyone feels the need to give our manager a hard time after a very important win is beyond me. Many on here have been extolling the virtues of how strong a squad we have at the moment - we utilised it tonight in our second game of three to take place in the space of six days.
We won on Sunday and we won tonight, and three of our better players go into Saturday's game after five days rest. A job well done.Last edited by Stevie Reid; 11-03-2015 at 10:59 PM.

McGeouch is such a big player for Hibs. No coincidence since he came back into the team from injury in the New Year Derby that we have been undefeated. We missed Dylan from the starting line up tonight, no question.
Having said that, I don't think you can criticise Stubbs for his team selection. Of two absent from Sunday's first 11, Craig set up the first goal and Djedje scored the second. Scott Allan was poor on Sunday and has been ill recently and Gray and Malonga took 2 hefty tackles in the Berwick game.
I'd expect to see our full strength team back in for Saturday though.Last edited by The Harp Awakes; 12-03-2015 at 12:06 AM.

Stubbs called it spot on today resting players. We have a really tough run in with lots of games to play. We cant afford to get the type of injuries to key players that happen when players play 3 games a week.
As we have moved into the second half of the season its become clear that the work being done by the Fitness coaches, sports science staff and nutrition staff is beginning to show.
We are having less injuries and our team are looking fitter than they have ever been before.
We are also picking up very few bookings compared to previous years, which may also be down to improved fitness.
