if Boyle had a first touch like our 2 wing backs tonight, he'd be a world beater with his speed. I do think he deserved MoM tonight though for his 100% effort. he had a great shot in the first half that might have gone in on another day. I do like him tearing down the right wing though, rather than centre/left or where he is placed over the last few games.

Want to see the Kamberi/McLaren partnership back. Consequence will be changes elsewhere. But if we are going to play with one up and Boyle supporting then ultimately I think I'd rather it was McLaren on his own, who can give a tad more movement and sharpness once he is ready. Great to have options tho - as long as everyone on the park knows what they are meant to be doing!

Boyle was positioned in the centre for most of the second half. Why?
His wing speed is his special skill and with Molde tiring he'd have been better deployed on the right wing.

Thought Boyle was poor. He isn't a striker. Yet he's not going to replace Gray with the form he is in.

Only thing that’ll be interesting about the 3-5-2 is when the Man City boy is available, there’s no room for a left winger in that formation. But like I said it’s great to have those options to change it up.

3-5-2 limits us going forward at times, Lennon likes 2 up top and the modern way is to use all out attacking wingbacks or converted wingers, our big problem is when fit Gray is a very good wingback and Boyle isn't quite good enough to play up top. I don't know if he's playing this system just to fit in his old mate Efe, who played fairly well last night but still has the odd lapse like the pass to no one which lost our initiative and they ended up getting a corner, that Efe moment we get every game. We have Boyle, Agyepong ( seemingly ) and by all accounts Lennon wants another winger, if this is the case no way we can continue with 3 at the back, we'll need to move to a 4-3-3 or something similar.

It's a really good problem to have, like others have said it gives us extra options and means we aren't playing people out of position.

It can limit us when everyone is fit and available, how do we fit in Boyle, MacLaren, Agyepong, Hyndman, and any new players we get into the starting line up. 3 at the back works well when the wingbacks are top notch wingers, the final balls by Gray and Lewis still leave a lot to be desired and I feel they're better fullbacks than wingbacks. All subjective and opinions, I just feel we have players who suit 4 at the back rather than 3, having 4 allows us to have the extra midfielder/striker.

Cannot believe people are actually suggesting we should change from a system that has seen us undefeated throughout 6 competitive fixtures already this season and coincided with the best run of form we have seen from Hibs in a long time in the second half of last season. We absolutely 100% stick with the 3-5-2 and let the players battle it out for who deserves a spot, even if that means Boyle, Gray or Maclaren has to start on the bench. Changing from a successful system just to accommodate everyone we would like to see play is a recipe for disaster.
