Anybody heard of a recent surgery update on Ofir or when he will return to training?

3/4 weeks still

[MyJo]

Bogdan injured.

Noticed he had Porteous taking goal kicks for him towards the end of the Motherwell match on Sunday. I thought it was because he took a shot to the baws when making a save but seems like it was a hip injury.

[NAE NOOKIE]

No matter what team you pick there's a massive SJM sized hole in it that I cant see how we are going to fill. If anything we will probably just have to go as attacking as we can get away with and hope for a 2 goal lead to take over there.

I know practically everybody has Slivka in their line up and I can see why because who else is there, but he is going to have to massively up his game from Sunday. I watched the whole game back on ALBA and he looked like he had put on someone else's boots by mistake giving the ball away a number of times … hell at one point he got into such a fankle under little pressure he beat himself and ran the ball out of play. The one positive though was his surging runs from midfield, he did get himself into the box a couple of times with runs from deep and that I really like.

Laidlaw ( if Bogdan cant play )

Ambrose, Porteous, Hanlon

Gray, Mallan, Slivka, Bartley, Stevenson

Boyle, Kamberi

Though I have to say the signing of the guy from Bournmouth seems to me indicative of Lennon's lack of confidence in Slivka and I wouldn't be in the slightest surprised to see him chucked in at the deep end instead of him.

Unless we go with a back four, I can’t really see the team being much different to that (depending on the goalie situation).

Think Lennon will want to keep some continuity, I’m not sure Hyndman will go straight in having not even trained with us.

Slivka will play. Be more likely Bartley that moves out of the side.

We really need a lefty in soon.

As I understand it, this whole issue a lot of us have with Laidlaw seems to stem from the one bad game he had in the League Cup semi v Celtic.

He's been very good for us in other games. I think we'll be fine.

Afraid I don't have much confidence in Laidlaw but I'd have said same about Bogdan this time last week so you never know.

Worried that if we get a heavy defeat in this game, alongside mcginn leaving, things might start turning a little sour.

It has a bit of the same feel when Gary O'Connor left on the eve of the semi.

[Chorley Hibee]

I've a feeling we might try something left-field, and include Hyndman in the starting line-up in a bid to surprise Molde.

Jamie to come on for Boyle at some point. We need to try and not concede.

Way to defensive in my opinion. We'd just be sitting g back inviting pressure. Agree with what others have said, outfield of:

Ambrose
Porteous
Hanlon

Gray
Stevenson

Bartley
Slivka
Mallan

Boyle
Flo

Subs
MacLaren
Swanson
Shaw
Whittaker

Hopefully not! That would leave Flo very isolated and would just see us under pressure the whole game. Can't see us suddenly changing formation and throwing Stevenson back to midfield.

Boyle and Stevenson push up in attack, and Stevenson provides additional cover at the back when we have to defend. Boyle stays high, Mallan sitting in behind Flo. Molde are very good imo.

I would be happy with this team, but would prefer Bartley to Slivka purely for additional defence.

[Sir David Gray]

Bogdan being out just sums things up for us over the last 24 hours!

Never a dull moment being a Hibs fan.

I don't see Stevenson pushing up very much. Boyle would end up stretched between defence and attack and Flo fairly isolated. I can see us playing a bit more direct at times as we struggle with the loss of mcginn and having someone up there with Flo would help with that.

I agree Molde are a very good team. I just don't think the best way to go against a very good team is to sit back so much.

This line up is a bit left-field! In fact Boyle, Stevenson, Slivka and Swanson are all on the left.

Your being very harsh on Slivka..he came on at a time when we had totally fallen out the game due to fatigue from last Thurs. Granted he wasn't great but he'd played well in both legs v Asteras so don't get the OTT critique....and he shouldn't be compared to SJM as that's not fair neither

Who will be on the bench as back up goalie if Bogdan is bogged down by injury and is oot?

Forgot about him. Glad he is still here! Trusting he is fit. Game time in any of the recent reserve/development games? Albeit Molde a bit different from Selkirk, Tranent etc

Would be amazed if Paul was left back. Dont disagree we need to be tight though.

[Souter96Mac]

If Bogdan and Daz are out, I'd go:
Laidlaw
Gray Efe Hanlon Stevenson
Marv
Slivka Mallan
Hyndman
Boyle Kamberi

I also think there is a chance we could go to a back four. But it would be with Hanlon at centre half and Stevenson at left back.

Or if Hyndman can't play bring in Bartley and move Mallan forward

Who would you play wide left? Not sure if Agyepong is available for this one?
