Hoping for a decent win today. Still haven't forgiven you for the Rangers fiasco CH. :wink::greengrin

I think we could potentially stroll it tbh, I'm saying 3-1 Hibs.:thumbsup:

[aussie_hibee]

finally, CH is back. A full strength match thread. Let's put this lot in their place.

[Jack]

If I had known you were back I might have had the confidence to go to Dundee! Or at least have made a better effort :greengrin

[CalgaryHibs]

Stoke 0-0 Liverpool

[Jim44]

Really bad for the travelling support if the game's called off now but on the other hand, it's a crucial game for both sides and to create a lottery is not fair on either.:dunno:

[down-the-slope]

:rolleyes:Whats the story with the pitch ? its like spring....or is it water logging

[down-the-slope]

Preston says Hamilton the better Team ....now that would be funny if they got a result

Awrite game is on !

Any team news yet ? Calling capital hibs???

[Toaods]

BBC text updates says pitch is being forked and sanded.

I assume from that the deep rooted frost ahs thawed and the snow and ice on top is thawing with nowhere to drain off to.

pitch has been ***** for years at Tannadice, expect a crap game which will suit Utd more than us.

[down-the-slope]

Rangers without Boyd & Miller are toothless :greengrin

Hamilton playing 3-4-3 and could get the win if they are brave

[aussie_hibee]

how long before the game do we normally know the line up? On my phone and don't want to keep reloading the page until i have to.

[Richard Scott]

I get a text message with the teams from the BBC at about 1430.

[Mikey_1875]

how long before the game do we normally know the line up? On my phone and don't want to keep reloading the page until i have to.

Don't think we will get it till the rangers game has finished on the radio. Maybe 2:30 ish. Unless someone here at the game gives it.

[aussie_hibee]

thanks guys, i'll switch off until then

[down-the-slope]

Team today

Hibernian :Smith, Murray, Hogg, Hanlon, Miller, Rankin, Stokes, Riordan, Zemmama, Wotherspoon, Cregg

Possibly 442 with Rankin going out left.

Oh dear. Is Yogi Alex Miller in disguise? Why do we always come up with a daft selection for the big games?

Why isn't McBride in the team?

[Golden Bear]

not match fit for starting berth

Sadly his injury is proving a lot more troublesome than first thought - maybe an operation is now required.

[Hibstrooper]

Should look like this

---------------Smith

Wotherspoon-- Hogg-- Murray--- Hanlon

---Cregg------Miller-------Rankin

Zemmama------Stokes---- Riordan

Hmm - is this not how we were lining up earlier in the season? It didn't look too clever then and other teams were dominating the games.

I'd like to see this line-up playing a straightforward 442 with Stokes & Riordan up front together

[Mikey_1875]

Very risky cregg and rankin in the middle.

Hope our attacking attitude pays off though :thumbsup:

If thing aren't working hoepfully Mcbride will come on to shore up.

[Billychaotic182]

who are our subs?

Dare I say it ? - lack of height could be the biggest problem today.

As always. But Wilkie's out though, right?

'Mon the Cabbage!

Hamilton 0-1 Rangers ft
Stoke 1-1 Liverpool ft
(is Rafa's time up at Liverpool?)

[The Voice Of Reason]

Dare I say it ? - lack of height could be the biggest problem today.

I agree - they are a big team (Dodds, Daly (if he is fit) etc).

I thought Yogi may have started with Nish to combat their height (and because Nish scored 2 up there last season!)

Anyway.....Come On Hibs ! :thumbsup:

Good to see.

[Mikey_1875]

Smith pulled into a smart save after a freekick.

[Pretty Boy]

Good to see.

Didn't notice that, good to see the wee man back in contention, hopefully get up to speed in a few bounce games then get Wotherspoon pushed into the midfield.

[Baw187]

Didn't notice that, good to see the wee man back in contention, hopefully get up to speed in a few bounce games then get Wotherspoon pushed into the midfield.

I reckon he's got a while to go before he gets his confidence back. I wouldn't be comfortable chucking him in at RB anytime soon - even when fully fit.

[dHFCe]

Graeme Hogg is todays captain according to the radio

[Mikey_1875]

Says wev'e taken a decent crowd through.

[Pretty Boy]

I reckon he's got a while to go before he gets his confidence back. I wouldn't be comfortable chucking him in at RB anytime soon - even when fully fit.

I agree, definitely needs a few bounce games and a few sub appearances when we're winning to get the confidence back. Hopefully be up and running for late February/early March when we will need a big squad.

[Cropley10]

Are you on drugs ?!?!? :confused:

Bl00dy Rankin again!

[Jim44]

All United so far.

[Hibs7]

all DU at the moment ??

Eh ?!?

[CalgaryHibs]

Chelsea 1-0 Sunderland

[Petrie's Tache]

No passing,marking or control so far.

Did anyone hear on the radio that something was going on at the hibs end......thought someone had been taken ill.

Lets hope its nothing serious.

Mon Hibs :thumbsup:

[The Voice Of Reason]

No passing,marking or control so far.

Apart from that we are doing OK ! :wink:

[Petrie's Tache]

Yeah apart from that it is all good.

[down the slope]

Anyone listening to the BBC ?, they should try commentating instead of waffling on-utter crap from them.

Atmosphere sounds flat (being kind).......is there anyone at the game !?!?!

Zemmama not up for it again.

Sounds pretty dire, United are certainly looking the more dangerous team.
Chelsea up 2-0 now.

1-0 yams

Stewart scoring from the penalty spot again :bitchy: unbelievable.

[hibiedude]

Zemmama needs to wake up

[Baw187]

Sounds pretty dire, United are certainly looking the more dangerous team.
Chelsea up 2-0 now.

That's been the story all season. But we only need a wiff....

[CMac1988]

"All over him like Big Daddy"

Lol :greengrin.

[Pretty Boy]

1-0 yams

Stewart scoring from the penalty spot again :bitchy: unbelievable.

Still a refereeing conspiracy against them though.

Honestly they are the luckiest barstewards in this league when it comes to refereeing decisions.

[Saorsa]

1-0 yams

Stewart scoring from the penalty spot again :bitchy: unbelievable.another penalty for the team that never get anything:bitchy:

[down-the-slope]

Hogg doing well in the physical stuff

[Petrie's Tache]

Still sloppy in the basics.:grr:

[Mikey_1875]

Another sloppy corner from Zemmama. Get Deeko on the next one!

[steakbake]

Some good work being done by the keeper.

[down-the-slope]

can some one other than Zemamma take the corners :grr::grr: its such a waste of pressue

[EH6 Hibby]

1-0 yams

Stewart scoring from the penalty spot again :bitchy: unbelievable.

Am I the only one that's a bit suspicious with the amount of penalties they've had this season? Bit of a coincidence when they can't score in open play that they seem to get a penalty at least once every 2 - 3 games. :hmmm:

[CMac1988]

Why is it, that in the last few weeks, any corners we've had hardly make it past the 1st defender?


:confused:

[Petrie's Tache]

If they have to shape up or ship out. We will be saying bye to a few soon I think!:agree:

[IWasThere2016]

Zooma no fit - sub soon?

[Mikey_1875]

Zouma coming off for Benji

[Billychaotic182]

Zouma is off

[CMac1988]

Zooma no fit - sub soon?

Very soon it seems! :wink:

[sleeping giant]

Zooma no fit - sub soon?

Good call:agree:

[IWasThere2016]

Benji on for MZ

[Biggie]

1-0 yams

Stewart scoring from the penalty spot again :bitchy: unbelievable.
Reminds of the times when it seemed Pressley was scoring all their goals from the penalty spot....I reckon that's their game plan..shell it into the box and tumble.

[oldbiker]

benji on

[hibiedude]

Zemmama off Benji on now things will happen

[hibsbollah]

We definitely need some specialist help with Zouma's hamstring:bitchy:
Come on the Benji:thumbsup:

[down-the-slope]

Benji....time to get back in 1st 11 with a performance.

Zemamma has been a passenger recently - if he is not fit don't play him ...could have had Spoony there and McCormack at RB...waste of sub

[Petrie's Tache]

Need to go 4-4-2.

Cregg Miller Rankin Riordan


Benji and Stokes

[IWasThere2016]

We're set up 4-1-4-1 .. And not offering enough going forward IMHO

[CMac1988]

This was the same problem in the derby imo. No support for stokes at all.

Dundee utd keeper pulled into good save from Rankin FK.

**** sake Hibs.

Celtc equalised too.

[Petrie's Tache]

Think you can just google them. Never needed it myself.

HIBS...NET...MUST....HAVE.....SCAPEGOAT:rules:

I blame Brian Kerr and Stuart Lovell, think Nish should have done a bit better as well.

Sadly, i'm slightly losing my temper with riordan...

[Hibs7]

United keeper injured saving the free kick.... don't know if he will stay on....

yep seems ok ... Damn

[Petrie's Tache]

Sadly, i'm slightly losing my temper with riordan...



Why they are all pish, or do you just want to have a go at Deek?

[truehibernian]

Deserved lead for Utd......absolutely no midfield for Hibs and Hughes cannot see we need a 4-4-2 away from home. Riordan is a liability at left mid.........Dundee Utd will win this comfortably sadly.

[shamo9]

defence sleeping :rolleyes: what about Riorden getting ball taken of him (which is getting regular)

Okay, they're all terrible... satisfied?:greengrin

[Hibs7]

Hibs not at the races !! get it sorted Yogi

[hibiedude]

2nd to every ball :grr:

[Liam89]

Why they are all pish, or do you just want to have a go at Deek?

Nope, it's because i know that deeks is special and can produce magic. I'm just getting frustrated he's not.

[nonshinyfinish]

Think you can just google them. Never needed it myself.

I reckon Mixu ate it.

[hibee62]

Why they are all pish, or do you just want to have a go at Deek?

Riordan must not be criticised...:rules:

[GlesgaeHibby]

Sounds like we need McBride on so we can get somebody to show a bit of fight and composure in midfield.

[Mikey_1875]

Dundee utd fire one just wide.

Gomes is commanding the midfield with ease!

[Mikey_1875]

Sounds like we need McBride on so we can get somebody to show a bit of fight and composure in midfield.


:agree:

[down the slope]

Sounds like the pussy cats are playing for us again, Swansons first goal for over a year ! says it all.

[IWasThere2016]

Thank eff for Ian Murray .. miles ahead of anything on the park!

[PISTOL1875]

Why did Zemmama get subbed ??

We haven't been the same since he was injured. Get him back in.

[down-the-slope]

Okay, they're all terrible... satisfied?:greengrin

currently that is a fair assesment :yawn:

[hibiedude]

Hibs again carry too many passengers

[Mikey_1875]

Half time, pretty dire stuff. Heard some Boos presumably from hibs fans.

Mcbride on please.

[Pretty Boy]

Why did Zemmama get subbed ??

injured.

[Riordans Boots]

Why did Zemmama get subbed ??

Thigh injury :boo hoo:

So far we have Yogi, Deeks and the whole defence as scapegoats, any advance on that?

Gathuessis done nothing as well, its almost like hes not on the pitch:grr:

[Saorsa]

get it sorted Hughes :grr:

[cloudy]

have we ever came from behind to win under yogi??

[cabbage07]

We havent really played good since the last game against united,i think we have been very fortunate in alot of games .
There isnt the right balance in the team midfield is non existant in nearly every game .
Playing one of the best finishers in scottish fitba as a left midfielder:confused:

[EasterRoad4Ever]

4 weeks ago Hibs we 18 points clear of the Yams. Tonight it'll be down to 6. Our traditional winter blow up has begun :grr:

[Landells]

Just woke up to find we're 1-0 doon. :grr:

[down-the-slope]

We haven't been the same since he was injured. Get him back in.

I have said so often that he has been player of firt half of season...protects defence / holds midfield together / links with forwards....how we got him for nowt i'll never know...if Yogi can find another couple with this level of skill and desire to work for the team...I will be gratefull

[Baw187]

So far we have Yogi, Deeks and the whole defence as scapegoats, any advance on that?

You do know that you can be critised without being made a scapegoat?

It's not the case of making someone a scapegoat - just people commenting on individual performances. Obviously some folk aren't doing thier job if we're playing crap.

The results are starting to reflect the play. Had this down for a draw but at this rate.....well, who knows.

[Hibee_Rab]

have we ever came from behind to win under yogi??

Yes defo against st mirren the first match of the season, and I think maybe in an other as well. We haven't gone behind that often under yogi :wink:

[Baw187]

have we ever came from behind to win under yogi??

Versus St mirren and Falkirk

[Steve20]

What a pathetic first half that was. We don't look like scoring at all.

[Phil MaGlass]

Looks like another abysmal performance from Hibs,to go along with the last few games,mind you the happy clappers will yet again point to the fact we are still 3rd(at the moment)to get a grip and be real.Lets be honest weve not been good enough the last few weeks,and today were showed up again.Terrible game against buns,bad against a mince hertz side AND THEY ARE MINCE ,no matter how some of you would like to bump them up,a pretty poor game against a bl00dy junior team and now were struggling against D.Utd who dont even have a manager and can only muster 3 goals in 6 games??? We need to win today and we look far from a win,Hughes needs to get a grip of the players and also needs to change his tactics for away games.

[Alfred E Newman]

No height and no width in the team. You might get away with that when the pitches are good but at this time of the year you need some muscle in the team. For years now and under a succession of managers ,we have been a team of midgets and stuggling again today is no surprise against an agricultural team like the Arabs.

[truehibernian]

The sooner Hughes realises that Riordan is not a working left midfielder the better. Play a solid 4-4-2 away from home, with emphasis on a hard working midfield, and let Riordan concentrate on his finishing. Utd's midfield are superb and commanding/bossing it. Stokes also needs help up front and is far far too often isolated and chasing lost cause balls. Cregg and Rankin have been miles off the pace............we are too soft which is in our history and make up. No bite or steel.

[shamo9]

We're lucky to be only 1-0 down, which is a good omen in itself. Our performance levels this season aren't up to scratch, but resilience - we have that without a doubt.

Hopefully Yogi can give then a good kick start.

[Baw187]

Hibs players criticised? surely not...

Agree a lot of players get critised on here unfairly but on this occasion, I'm sure it's more than well deserved.

[IWasThere2016]

Midfield not at races - bar Miller. IM and Buzz only ones playing well enough IMHO. Miller, Hogg, Hanlon ok too

[Jim44]

4 weeks ago Hibs we 18 points clear of the Yams. Tonight it'll be down to 6. Our traditional winter blow up has begun :grr:



:agree: Groundhog Day...................happens every year without fail. We may not agree with them but you can understand why the media don't really rate us as serious challengers for third place.:boo hoo:

[hibiedude]

Agree a lot of players get critised on here unfairly but on this occasion, I'm sure it's more than well deserved.

Over the last month there has been to many big time players that have gone awol.

R01rdan being the main culprit

The sooner Hughes realises that Riordan is not a working left midfielder the better. Play a solid 4-4-2 away from home, with emphasis on a hard working midfield, and let Riordan concentrate on his finishing. Utd's midfield are superb and commanding/bossing it. Stokes also needs help up front and is far far too often isolated and chasing lost cause balls. Cregg and Rankin have been miles off the pace............we are too soft which is in our history and make up. No bite or steel.

Spot on - and it is SO effing obvious!!!

[vahibbie]

Over the last month there has been to many big time players that have gone awol.

R01rdan being the main culprit

Deek has been *****e...but, the boy is never a left mid-fielder.
Apparently JH sees something different than most of us:confused:

Rankin was dibolical last week though you can`t fault him for effort. His inclusion today shows our shortage of options in midfield and underlines the need to strengthen there during the window. However it is only 1-0 and with our forwardline we are more than likely to pinch a goal and come away with another undeserved result.

A lot of moaners on here today eh? It's only half time FFS. We're playing a decent team, we have no Bamba, Zemamma or mcBride.

Have some faith. We have decent finishers on the park and we will get chances!:wink:

[Petrie's Tache]

I reckon Mixu ate it.

Nah it was Freddie Star who ate my hamster.

Have we actually had any chances so far??

[Billychaotic182]

Thicot on Cregg off

[Mikey_1875]

Thicot on for Cregg

Going to back 3 apparently of Hanlon Hogg and Thicot

[Spudster]

Hogg Hanlon Thicot playing as a back 3 :confused:
Murray pushed into wide midfield and Cregg off

[Hibs7]

Thicot on Cregg off ... thank god for that Cregg did not impress me last week

[millarco]

Apparently going 3-5-2 with Thicot and Hanlon at CB. This should be interesting.

Theres a wee bit more to it surly than R01rdan being played out of position.

You'll no last long on here with that attitude :wink:

[Petrie's Tache]

What a pathetic first half that was. We don't look like scoring at all.

big change in formation....at least JH is not blind to issues

[hibbie02]

Indeed. Positive move in theory. HI guys can't work out the formation at the moment.

[Hibs7]

At least Yogi isn't scared to make changes.

How's this working then?? Who's up front, Benji and Stokes or Riordan and Stokes?

[spudhib]

Positive start to second half.


Note:Deano opens scoring for Doncaster.:agree:

[Hibee_Lisa]

Sure they said Riordan and Stokes.

[vahibbie]

Aye, with only one full back:wink:

[spudhib]

Radio says its DR and AS, Benji deeper.

[down-the-slope]

Benji to score :greengrin

[Mikey_1875]

Lively start, few chants :thumbsup:

[IWasThere2016]

IM and Hanlon swapped. We look more 3-4-3 wi Thicot at RCH or RB.

Front 3 very narrow!

[I'm_cabbaged]

Benji to score :greengrin

x2 please. :greengrin

I don't think Deek is too happy playing there.
Having said that, you're right, he should still be giving it everything.:agree:

He has stated it is his prefered position has he not?

[millarco]

No idea where Riordan is playing-I'd probably have him in the hole behind Benji and Stokes but there doesn't seem to be any mention on the radio. Zemmama would be perfect for that role but he's obviously off, I don't think Riordan is really suited for it. Benji may play the deeper role too. I like the theory behind it with Murray and Wotherspoon bombing forward, and think that Benji and Stokes have the potential to be a strong pairing, but we'll see. Would be plenty of space for Conway and Swanson to counter in the wide areas if we're not careful.

[Phil MaGlass]

atleast things have been changed,time to get stuck in.

[Hibs7]

Referree getting a lot of things wrong :grr::grr:

I think you mean there's a lot of Hibs fans on today eh.

I mite only be HT but some of us are taking about the past month performances so gives us a break FFS :wink:

[The Voice Of Reason]

Sorry, but I don't care if he is not happy!

He needs to get his fingers out of his*rse! Same goes for the rest of them too by the way.

Come on Hibs FFS! :grr:

[Hibs7]

Miller not doing a lot, he is not he same player without McBride

[MyJo]

Radio says its DR and AS, Benji deeper.

[Riordans Boots]

I will open a bottle of shampers as well ... if we manage to score :agree:

[The Voice Of Reason]

Sounds like one way traffic.

Why oh why do we always capitulate after Xmas ?!?!? :grr:

Edit - a good save by the Utd Keeper.....more like it (at last!)

[Mikey_1875]

Comooon hibs. Good passage of play there :thumbsup:

[Hibs7]

another good save from the united keeper, how come they can find good keepers :grr::grr:
Miller not playing too well :confused:

[Bostonhibby]

listening on HI our midfield is not able to compete with them for size at least -2nd to everything and a lot of poor passing, where have I heard that before.

Come on Hibs...............
