    I think that is a fairly solid looking team.

    Marshall

    Miller
    Fish / Rocky
    Hanlon
    Obita

    Cadden
    Welsh / Amos
    Newell
    Boyle

    Alf
    Vente / Maolida

    We need Whittaker, Tavares, Levitt dropped. All miles off it.

    Pointless debating it.

    It’ll be the same formation, same tactics and the same duo starting in midfield

    I'd honestly be shocked if Levitt and Newell start. No chance I reckon. Really hope so at least.

    Certainly won’t be the same two in the middle of the park. Not a chance.

    I sincerely hope you’re wrong, if you’re right it’s another black mark against NM.

    Maolida in a wide role offers zero protection to the left back (Obita) as he won't track back, and he maybe doesn't work hard enough off the ball going forward too.

    He looks like another lad, with a small modicum of talent, who has lacked a figure in his life to teach him "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"

    Fwiw I like the rest of the team (apart from Megwa)

    I'd say Newell out left in place of Maolida in your XI
    And given Palma always cuts in, I'd play Stevenson (as a one off) at right back, to defend against Palma, especially as Boyle is horrendous these days at helping out his mates at full back

    Bit unfair on Marcondes. Just in the door and gets hit with a big phone bill.

    I agree.

    I’d be stunned if Levitt and Youan start. I think Newell will though.

    Probably, a good shout. I've been critical of Miller especially, out of that team, but he's probably more solid a player just now, than the younger guys. Cadden brings back in a level of quality, and experience. I'm a fan of Levitt, and there's a good quality player there, but maybe does need a spell on the bench to recharge the batteries, and find his true form. Tough game against Celtic, but you never know. They've not been at their best recently either. Could be one of those unexpected glory nights for the Hibees.

    A traffic cone instead then,can’t be any worse than the alternatives
    Would probably move about more than Levitt.

    A 4-5-1 system to frustrate and keep us in the game with the hope we can hit them on the break and create a few chances.

    On the flip side of that Celtic could put 11 traffic cones out on Wednesday and I still wouldn’t bet on Hibs.
    Youan would beat the cone,cut back and beat the cone again and then just run the ball out of play

    I’d be amazed if they ever started as a pair together for us again.

    In fairness to Monty - he changed it at half time and may have felt before the game that he had no option other than to go with them due to the fitness of the new arrivals.

    I’d have

    Marshall

    Megwa Fish Hanlon Obita

    Maolida Moriah-Welsh Newell(Amos if anywhere near match fit) Boyle

    Marcondes

    Vente

    However no doubt we’ll see Whittaker at full back, Triantis, plus the imposters that are Levitt, Jair and Youan in.

    What changes would you make for Wednesday?

    A change in the weather, say 6 inches of snow and game off, would be a positive.

    Newell

    Boyle Moriah-Welsh Amos

    Emiliano

    Maolida

    The new guys need minutes, it's a game we rarely win, so may as well get them up to speed.

    Shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic is a phrase that springs to mind when looking at the pretty hopeless squad we've been left with.

    There's pretty much no side or formation that fills me with any hope or excitement, just a fear of the inevitable, and a loathing of the people responsible for the mess we're in.

    I think we need to play a natural centre forward be it ALF or Vente. The rest are more wide players who can play up front but we need someone to just be in the right areas and occupy the centre halves, especially with Marcondes floating around. Basically, the same as what we did at Killie because, with the ball, we actually played quite well and created numerous chances.

    Don’t think any of the three hooked at half time on Saturday will play.

    The first thing I'm doing is dropping Youan and Tavares in the wide areas, they both offer zero protection to whoever the full backs are.

    I'm also removing Whittaker, just to protect the lad, whether it be Miller/Megwa (I cannot see Cadden being anywhere near ready for a game like this).

    This should go without saying, but I'm not starting Newell and Levitt together, in any capacity. Levitt in the stand and go with three in the middle.


    Marshall

    Miller, Fish, Hanlon, Obita,


    Amos, Moriah-Welsh, Newell.

    Boyle, Marcondes, Maolida


    I'd be making it clear to Boyle and Maolida to track back and offer themselves deeper for passes across the middle of the park too, not a gung-ho- 3 up top. The issue is, none of our attackers is all that willing to do the bit without the ball....

    Hanlon hasn’t trained as far as I know but otherwise this is the team I want to see. I also doubt we will see Wallacot and I’m not sure why. Marshal’s performances have improved on the face of it but I’d like to think Wallocot could orchestrate the defence better.

    The Obita at CH and Stevenson at LB axis seemed to work to pretty decent effect against Rangers. In the absence of Paul Hanlon, I'm surprised there aren't more suggestions that we look to repeat that.

    None of the problems or goals that night came down that side and both players played well.

    If Obita had been skinned like he was at the weekend and we'd had a 20 year old making his debut at CH then we might have lost by 7 or 8.

    I’d argue both could have done better at the 2nd goal and Obita could do better at the 3rd

    Monty frustrated but not concerned.

    Might be harsh though it actually annoyed me abit listening to him on about players away on international duty and new signings needing time to gel which I get though there's no excuse for a performance like the St Mirren game . None whatsoever imo .
