Your attitude to the Challenge Cup

I'm not particularly bothered about it but I want us to win every single match that we play so that would obviously mean that I hope we win the tournament.

We should try and win every competition we are in. It's that simple.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It's our 4th priority, and should be treated with team selection accordingly. Looks like we might have to postpone 2 Saturday fixtures if we were to progress to the final

Hard to believe McCoist isn't around to defend the trophy.
How many cups did he win with Rangers and The Rangers in the end?

Bit of both for me. Use it as an opportunity for players to get match fitness etc before the start of the season, but take it seriously enough that we should fancy our chances of winning it.

My attitude is this tournament is not important. I think Hibs have got much more important games to focus on, and players play too many matches already during a season. Just my opinion though.

Hibs will only get stronger by winning every game possible. By all means play the odd fringe player or blood the odd youngster but i go to every Hibs game expecting us to win it.

When did this club reach a situation that a " competition" wasn't worth entering/winning ?
We are not exactly in the top 100 of world clubs are we ?

I want to win it........its a cup and would be a great day out if we win. This might be our only Chance of silverware this season and to say it doesn't matter and its meaningless is a load of p1sh......i think some people are forgetting that we are not a premiership club.....we are a championship club. This is our level now and ill be gutted if we don't win it

Should only be used to give game time to those who need it and the youngsters.
Nothing should distract us from the main goal of winning this league.

I voted that I don't care about it, but that's not strictly true .... I would like us to win it and I certainly don't want to disrespect any sponsor willing to put money into Scottish football.
But if I'm honest getting promoted simply has to be all we care about next season and if that means not risking injury, suspension or burn out to our top players in any of the cup competitions then so be it. I will of course revise this if we draw the Yams in anything.

I have a mixed view on this, so haven't voted.
The first game is part of our pre-season and is simply a chance to get the players match fit.
The next couple of rounds are an opportunity for fringe players to get some playing time to show if they can step up.
But if we make the semi or the final then I want us to take it seriously and win a trophy.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Not bothered about it, use first game as a pre season warm up, anything beyond that I'd play fringe players. If we win it then brilliant, if not, meh.

League is obviously our main objective. However, we should still be aiming to win this aswell as the league.
In it to win it. Simples.

Want us to win it. The only team I'd not be expecting us to beat would be The rangers 2012.

Want us to win it. Anything else is totally unacceptable.

Strongest team in the first game. It'll have a competitive edge that friendly won't and can help the players be ready for the first day of the season.
After that, use it to give players needing game time a run out. And try to introduce a few younger players.

The fact that we're having to reschedule league matches for this diddy tournament means that I'd rather we put our reserves out for these games.
-

Want Hibs to win every game we play whether it's the Champions League or a pre-season friendly. I do however see this diddy tournament as a distraction and taking part is an embarrassment. I hope we win it by playing reserves and youth.
At the same time if we do a Hearts and get pumped out by someone like Livi early doors then I will not give a flying one of we go up.
It's like one of those pish consolation cups you used to get a primary school where all the losers fought it out to be the best loser.Last edited by My_Wife_Camille; 17-06-2015 at 09:54 PM.
