Ten changes from Saturday apparently. Ambrose the only one to play keep his place.

Would find that hard to believe tbh.

imagined Fyvie would be a definite to start

limited options at left back unless Crane is fit again? Or if the lad Waugh can play there. That or maybe we are going 352.

Came from a friend of a friend who's laddie is in the team.

If Hibs make ten changes from Saturday and deliberately field an understrength team then it wouldn't surprise me if we are hauled over the coals and fined.

In a meaningless game maybe but not in a game where something is at stake.

Never even considered that.

What does one do?

[HFCdeb]

I fancy our "B" team to do what our starting 11 haven't all season and take a few goals off Raith and maximum points.

You can be sure the sportsound team will be all over it, especially as Preston was gloating the other week there that he had Hibs to win the division and Jason to be top goalscorer.

It is meaningless to us however, so it's appropriate for us to avoid the risk of injuries or suspensions to our most important players.

We could play a similar team against Ayr at the weekend and even against St Mirren in the final match, in which case none of our three opponents will be disadvantaged.

Sorry, but nothing is at stake for us, so it is meaningless in that sense.

We have a strong pool of players and want to give regular starters a rest, and try some fringe players so think we could tell SFA or whoever to take a hike.

Anyway we will probably win tonight even with a lot of changes!

That must be akin to a prisoner in the dock telling the judge to do one, it doesn't work like that in the real world.

By playing a whole loads of untried players you aren't going to learn a lot anyway.

Two or three in with the players who have played week in week out would be the way to go IMHO.

Suspensions I would agree with 100%, if a booking means missing the first game or two next season.

Lennie says he has given the majority of the semi final team a break until tomorrow but "it will still be a strong team with maybe an unfamiliar look to it". That's good enough for me.

I could have phrased the SFA bit more clearly. If we select mainly from our first team squad with some development players added then it is difficult for the SFA to argue it is a weakened team, cause we have a strong squad!

Raith are as much as 15/2 for the win tonight. Just saying!

Great price if the ten changes are true.

What happens if we win though?

And what happens if we win with the team tonight, but play the same team at the weekend and get beat? Id love for them to try and take us over the coals for fielding a weakened team that only 3 days previous had won

I see your logic and agree with it.

However if we got thumped tonight it would be a different scenario, especially if we reverted to a strong line up for our other two games.

However it may appear that the ten changes may well be wide of the mark anyway.

When Hibs were last promoted ther last away match was at Stranraer, who Hibs had struggled against all season. Stranraer won 2-1 in the opening match at Easter Road and were unfortunate to lose 1-0 to a very late goal at Stair Park. Hibs won 2-0 rather unconvincingly at Easter Road.

In this match, Hibs put out a very young side with Kenny Miller, Mark Dempsie, and Scott Bannerman starting. Tam McManus and Emilio Bottiglieri were on the bench.

Hibs won 4-0!

I remember that game, was there, and the young guns gave everything, hope we get the same effect tonight

[angus hibby]

As it seems we're playing fringe players along with development players, I'd definitely play Fyvie and make him skipper for the night. After what happened on Saturday, reckon that would be a good piece of man management.

[BoomtownHibees]

10 changes

[hibee_girl]

Shinnie captain

[Eyrie]

Laidlaw, Ambrose, McLean, Forster, Harris, Martin, Murray, Shinnie, Humphrey, Keatings, Graham.

So despite all the changes only Murray hasn't been a regular in the first team squad this season. Difficult to call that a weak team when Martin is the only other starter without plenty of senior football experience.

[Onceinawhile]

10 changes as someone suggested.

They would never make that stick.

It's our choice to select an appropriate team from eligible players. End of.
