I wonder what sort of team Hibs will put out against Bonnyrigg in the cup, a mixed team of youngsters and first team players or will we go with the full metal jacket against them.

Too many will be looking for a major upset here, strongest team possible, put this to bed early doors, then substitute key players to not only rest them but limit the chance of injuries.

Personally I'd start Scott Martin and Callum Crane. This is exactly the type of game to see what Crane can bring. As mentioned that the the Bonnyrigg players will be well up for it, well I'd like to think so would Crane be. Unsure about his loan deal but I wouldn't mind seeing Oli Shaw given a shot either.

Bonnyrigg Rose will be very fired up for this. They have hearts fans in their team who are absolutely relishing playing us and getting stuck in about us. No room for complacency. It would be the mother of all cup shocks if they were to win but stranger things have happened.
Get the strongest 11 starting then hopefully we can give ourselves a relatively comfertable lead and then start to take off key players.

Play our fringe players to give them game time. Fired up junior players will be no match for our second 11.

Bournemouth, Stoke, Liverpool all tried with weakened teams due mainly to a form of arrogance which imo fires up the opposition that little bit more. Strongest team out and put the tie to bed as early as possible, then make some changes.

They beat a team in our league who have given us problems over the last couple of years.
Obviously we should beat them comfortably. A few changes is fine but I wouldn't be giving them all a day off. Good game for the likes of McGinn to get his sharpness back. Fyvie too, if he's back in the frame. Keatings is another who could do with some minutes.

As for Martin he is a decent prospect and did well when asked to step in, you can't seriously say he is anywhere near our first team now we have everyone back bar Fyvie.
Take no chances and get the job done.
The time to give the youngsters a run will be when we have wrapped up the League and not before.

Full strength team, including the likes of Holt and Bartley for physical presence.

Laidlaw
Crane
Fontaine
Forster
Eardley
Boyle
Fyvie
SJM
Harris
Graham
Keatings
Gives fringe players a run out and also gives SJM and Fyvie fitness. That team is easily good enough to beat Bonnyrigg rose infront of a decent crowd at Tynie

No midweek games either side of this one, so get the strongest line-up out and get this mob pumped before half-time, then bring on the likes of Martin and Crane.

Team against Bonnyrigg
Has to be a strong team. Yes I get that fringe players could do with a run out, BUT this is NOT the game to do it. Rose beat Dumbarton over 2 legs , so does that mean we can play fringe players against Dumbarton next week? HELL NO. Dismissing Bonnyrigg as a decent team has banana skin written all over it.
Get the 1st 11 on the park and IF we are comfortably winning, then think about changes.
I don't want to give anyone any ammo to have a go at us going out against a junior team the way Dumbarton did. The Yams would be creaming themselves over that plus the fact it's at Tynie and most of the Rose are Jambos.

Lothian Thistle beat Bonnyrigg 3-2 in a friendly last week.
I understand that friendlies are not the same as competitive games but if a East of Scotland side (albeit a very good one at that level) can beat Bonnyrigg then the current Hibs side should be able to sweep them aside without much fuss.
Edit - They also lost 3-1 to Dundonald Bluebell (never heard of them either) in the league yesterday.
If the Hibs players anywhere near to their ability we will thump them by about 4 or 5.Last edited by Since90+2; 08-01-2017 at 04:19 PM.

Agree about the team though. Strongest possible and get them and their team of Jambo loving fuds pumped (after we've dealt with Dumbarton obviously).

Strongest team available.
We're very unlikely to have the same pile up off fixtures as last year so no need to rest anyone unless they have an underlying injury.
Get the job done early doors and then introduce fringe players.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Not the time or place to mess about with team selection. Treat it like a league game, get a win then move on. If we slip up in this one we are a laughing stock.

Strongest team possible.....I want another 0-7
