Think it will be this but with Holt in for Boyle. I think Humphreys and Gray could have joy against their left back but their right back looks a good player so I can see McGinn playing leftish in midfield (rather than Boyle) to try to nullify that.

I said from the start that this was a bad draw for Hibs - no game at Tynie will ever be a foregone conclusion for us and those suggesting otherwise in this case were/are mad. Still, last night's result doesn't terrify me as, unlike Rangers, our defence is strong and our manager will never approach a game in the bizarre way Warburton often does.

Pal whos a Jambo saying theres a thread on kickback about this thread and apparently they will hammer us 😂 im not getting overly confident but it will be a tight game im going for 3-2 hibs as hearts have goals in them as we all seen/heard last night. It may have been against a poor rangers but they still scored 4. I personally dont think anyone should go to this game expecting a hibs win its not going to be easy for either side.

Somebody should start a thread on here about the thread on Kickback that's about this thread.

We're used to playing on tattie fields

**~~Fife-Hibee~~** · 02-02-2017 03:50 PM

Cannae believe some of the posts on here. You don't become a good team over night. Hearts were pish up until they came up against one of the worst the Rangers sides I've ever seen! Normal service will be resumed when they go to fir park on Saturday. :-)

Could go either way. I dont really fancy us but we can certainly win at Tynie

***Hibby Kay-Yay*** · 02-02-2017 04:19 PM

Same setup of team that played against Utd and that should see us through.

That was the day that it was the only professional game off in the UK and games were going on at teh Gyle and Saughton park also just a few days before our cup replay.

That's the one. Ridiculous for a professional club with full time ground staff (I assume?). Still stinks to high heaven.

They will try anything when it comes to games against Hibs it seems. Justice was done when Hibs put them out again though.

Gave my work mate a lift down the road and he says to me 'ended up going to the game last night, I'm glad I did, hertz were absolutely 'brilliant'. He then went on to describe how brilliant they were and how they could have scored six, until I pointed out I actually watched a lot of it on telly and 'brilliant' is not exactly how I would describe them. They were on the back foot for the latter part of the first half and were a bit fortunate not to be 2-1 down at half time, only a miracle/lucky save from their keeper saved them. The The rangers defended like school bairns and their star man is nearly 38 years old. It was a good result and things went right for them, a couple of their signings possibly even look decent, but they are not Barcelona and I still think it is too close to call. The result will be down to who turns up on the day and possibly more importantly, who gets the luck of the bounce on that pitch.

This is more like it for me. Hearts will play with two wide attackers. That gave TRFC problems last night as Tavernier and Wallace were unable to get forward.

Gray and Stevenson will have to sit deeper than normal and if we also play Humphrey and Boyle then we have an attacking threat wide as well.

Would love to see McGeouch play but Hearts look like they have their usual team of big strapping lads so we need an extra bit of height and strength I feel.

**monktonharp** · 02-02-2017 10:21 PM

I happen to think that we will manage another draw, and possibly closer than last time. 1-1, would suit me, as if we get them back to the Holy Ground we will be able to play football, instead of hoofball. depending on how many penalties they get of course! do remember that they got 2 penalties in the Raith game. they seem to have a "knack" of getting the odd Peno. do they practise this in training? I actually hoped that we'd get a draw last year in this fixture with them and got shot down in flames iirc.

]for me, if we do have the 2 fast men on the wings, as long as we can keep it tight without playing McGeoch, we can give them some surprises when we use Humphries and Boyle on the wings.

I think due to the pitch its a game we'll definitely see Holt starting in, and I fully expect big Marv in there too. Expecting...

........Cummings......Holt

...............Keatings

..........Fyvie........Mcginn

................Bartley

Lewis..Fonts...McGregor...Gray

...............Laidlaw

They play their full backs high up the pitch & the lack of speed at the back, I would go more for speed and mobility.

One swallow does not make a summer.

Let's not get carried away with their against the Rangers.

Let's not get too carried away with our current good form.

It's a Derby and they pretty much don't go to plan.

They will be up for it, so will we.

I think we have the better players in the key positions but they will need to perform at their best to beat Hearts at Tynecastle.

More crucially, I think we have the better manager, a manager used to the big game occasion, a manager who will take the heat of the players in the build up to the game and say the right things to them and to the press before the match.

Cathro will be their weakness, they think it's all clicked into place, let them think that, their arrogance will be there down fall.

2-0 Hibs in the game forever known as the Grant Holt derby.

GGTTH 💚

Rangers are p15h, that result has not got me either up nor down about game. What I'm worried about is the state of that midden of a pitch, as per my OP. I know the Yams are wetting themselves about it and now think they are world beaters but again, as I said before, that pitch is a great leveller.
This is going to be a battle rather than a game of football.

Biggest laugh was hearing Cathy talking about pressing football as if he invented it. If he tries it against us the likes of mcginn,fyfie and Bartley will lap it up. I think Neil will play the same team as against qos apart from maybe Marvin in for shinnie and then bring Humphrey and Boyle on when game is more open. If he wants a battle there will only be one winner with the likes of darren mcgregor loving the challenge. I think the game will be won in midfield and we are clearly better. Its who plays on the day and we need to exploit their weakness at full back. Only worry is them diving for free kicks around the box. Im actually more confident now they have beat sevco as we are going to be more up for this than ever. Ayr game more important right now as is promotion. They have to win so lets see if they can handle the pressure.

If I was going to the PBS my biggest fear would be bumping into that Jambo that goes to the matches dressed as a tiger.See him on BT sports whenever they are on.Creepy freak is defo on a register somewhere.

***jeffers*** · 03-02-2017 11:13 AM

My worry is the referee falling for one of Jamie Walkers customary dives in the box and awarding them a penalty.

**EH54** · 03-02-2017 11:21 AM

Stop Walker we win IMO, Walker is on some form for them and needs stopping early on. I have confidence in this Hibs team to get something out this game its always going to be tough in a Edinburgh Derby but honesty think we have the edge now. Bring THEM on!

3pts on Saturday is a must going into this game though.

**Northern Hibby** · 03-02-2017 01:51 PM

Just watched highlights of 4-1 **** v the **** game awful defending by the ****, our defence is far superior we'd never give away such sloppy goals **** won't find it as easy next Sunday!

GGTTH

**~~Captain Trips~~** · 03-02-2017 02:31 PM

No more worried than before I am confident we have the players to win the match. Big deal they hammered The Rangers even Colin Calderwood managed that against Rangers.

2-1 for Hibs

***Sean1875*** · 03-02-2017 04:58 PM

Just get Bartley to steamroll through that prick Walker over and over and the games ours, they have no depth of quality there. Didn't see anything particularly on Wednesday night that worried me, only 1/4 of their goals actually involved any decent football and wasn't gifted to them by one of the worst Rangers defences I can ever recall seeing.

Obviously form goes completely out of the window for derbies, but if we can keep the head and stick to our game plan then we've nothing to fear

Players are almost never carded in the first couple of minutes, so get Big Marv to slice him in two immediately after the kick-off.

**One_Sauzee** · 03-02-2017 05:11 PM

A win against a piss poor Rangers team and they think they're world beaters.

This Hearts team is worse than all the teams we've played in the past few year so we are right to have every confidence going into this game.

We have a settled team and certainly no push overs. Whereas they don't have their usual huddy squad anymore and actually appear quite light weight. Keep Walker quiet and it's ours.

Let's bully them Hibs and continue the dominance!!

**Vini1875** · 03-02-2017 05:29 PM

I am glad they think they are world beaters. Their result against the huns might actually help us to not think this is going to be a walk over, also their arrogance can be their downfall. I don't like when we assume all we have to do is turn up. This is a roll the sleeves up type of game. Go with the right attitude and we win.
