*** Motherwell vs Hibs***

[CalgaryHibs]

Hibs travel to Motherwell today looking to get back on track after 2 loses.

MON THE HI-BEES!!




Any team news yet ???




Whats the weather like today ??



:hnet::flag:

[Riordans Boots]

Deeks is going to score his 100th goal :thumbsup:

[ChilliEater]

Deeks is going to score his 100th SPL goal :thumbsup:

..and his 101st and 102nd :greengrin

[CalgaryHibs]

Lets hope this happen maybe add 101 to it as well :wink:

[YehButNoBut]

Hopefully McBride will be fit. :thumbsup:

Rangers game with St J is off.

[SvenNeil]

Mcbride fit according to the Scotsman :thumbsup: Mon the Hibees!! :flag:

[Spike Mandela]

Lets hope this happen maybe add 101 to it as well :wink:

20 nil or will Motherwell get a few as well:greengrin

[hibiedude]

3 points is a must today and no more excusses from Yogi about picking the wrong team.

Stokes to get on the score sheet and Deeks to get his finger out and start to earn his wages.

Hibs 3-1

[YehButNoBut]

Berbatov has made it Everton 0 Man Utd 1

[Martin]

It's bloody cold in Motherwell and the pitch - well it looks like it's seen better day...

[The Voice Of Reason]

We have a decent record vs Motherwell.

That said, the hammering at Perth must have affected our confidence. M'Well are playing well at the moment and were unlucky not to beat Rangers. They also have an added advantage as they are used to playing on that excuse for a pitch (as per Walter Smith's comments after they played the Huns).

Bearing all of that in mind, sadly I think M'Well will win the game. :boo hoo:

Won't stop me roaring the boys on. I will be delighted to be proved wrong of course :agree:.

[Hibs90]

Hoping we get a win today, would like to see Stack back in goals and a team lined up:

Stack
Spoon Hogg Hanlon Murray
McBride
Miller Rankin
Zouma Stokes Deeek

Hi Martin - I asked a question earlier re why there hasn't been any pre M'Well match Press Call footage on Hibs TV this week (the post was moved to the Hibs TV section).

Are you able to answer my question please mate ?

[Brooster]

Hoping we get a win today, would like to see Stack back in goals and a team lined up:

12 players would give us a chance right enough!!

Id put Bamba in for Hanlon and Thicot in for Rankin as we're gonna need a physical presence as not much footys played on that pitch,spot on with the rest,and hope the ref does'nt notice anything amiss.

Arithmetic's not a strength of yours, M :greengrin

FWIW, I'm told Hanlon, Deeks, Benji and Zouma won't start!

So, who's up front with Stokes?

[Hibs90]

Dunno what you guys are on about :wink:

[IWasThere2016]

So, who's up front with Stokes?

Info is Gow to start

[Jim44]

I think it's a big ask to expect them to come out after last Sunday and Wednesday and win away from home. A draw would be a great result but I think Motherwell will be too much for a side low in confidence.

I agree Jim - but Arabs take something at Darkheid then I want 3pts at Fir Park :agree:

[SaudiHibby]

After what has been a bad week it's time for the players to stand up and be counted :agree:



:notworthy:

[rainman]

So much tinkering it's beginning to look like trial and error.

FWIW, one of the only games I've seen live this season was up in Aberdeen. I came away thinking we finally had a defence that looked as solid as I had ever seen it. Wotherspoon was beginning to stroll through games like Whittaker had done near the end of his time at Hibs. Bamba was a rock with Mr and Mrs dependable Hogg and Murray giving their heart and soul. We had Maka in goals then and now we have a choice of 3 keepers who are better than him.

I'm happy to see Riordan out the team. A long time coming and wouldn't surprise me if that was the reason GAOWser was brought in.

Zemmama's season has turned out to be a bit of a let down after an electric start and I wish Benji would find some cosistency although it would probably only come with an extended run in the team.

The only other concern is McBride's injury. I'd rather he sat it out and came back 100% rather than rushing him back for him to break down again. We have a Scottish Cup to win this season. :wink:

[Hakim Sar]

First time this season we have made ourselves desperate for a win imho. wee bit pressure on guys for first time this season.

Hope it manifests itself in a positive way. I fear worst tho.

2-0 Motherwell :'(

[Spike Mandela]

Gowser was very near invisible at Ibrox.

[MyJo]

Gowser was very near invisible at Ibrox.

Stokes took a while to settle in after moving up here, he wasn't great in the first couple of months while he was gettting back up to speed. Gow hasn't been quite as deprived of first team football as Stokes was before he signed but he still needs time to settle into the club and the team........give him a chance :agree

Pity we don't have the facility to give these guys 'a chance' to get up to speed in reserve games instead of crucial league fixtures.

Not having a go at Gow just think Riordan seems to like scoring at Fir Park.

[rainman]

Gowser was very near invisible at Ibrox.

I know. First start and all that though.

Riordan's been invisible for months. As far as I'm concerned Gowser fits the bill much better than Galbraith, Rankin, Stevenson, Riordan for the LM position.

Every interview you hear from Yogi, he's talking about the culture at the club, living like a pro 24/7, training like champions, ticking all the boxes. Everything that Riordan is not. He mentioned that Hibs are going places and if the players aren't ticking these boxes, they'll be left behind.

He's also proved that he'll stick by his favourites. Right or wrong, he sticks by them and I think Gowser falls into that category.

The defence is a bit of a puzzler.

Maka was finally emptied after the 1-4 to Rangers and hasn't played since. In his 7 games this season he conceded 7 goals, including those 4 v. Rangers.

In the ten games prior to the Rangers 1-4 result, all against SPL opposition, we conceded four goals (six clean sheets). In the ten games since that match, including Montrose and Irvine Meadow, we have conceded sixteen goals (one clean sheet).

The defense with Maka in the sticks may have looked shaky, but it must have been a lot luckier than it is now... :dunno:

About time for another clean sheet I hope. :agree:

It also coincided with Bamba leaving. I know he's been off form but I would get him in with Hogg and have them play themselves into the form they were showing early December.

:tee hee:

[GloryGlory]

IMO, part of the problem has been playing Hogg at RB the last two games, when he takes up the same positions and plays the same way as he does at CB. The way Hughes sets out his teams requires the full backs to push on and link with midfield - something that Hogg just can't do.

I agree completely. Get Hogg back into the middle where he is solid and confident and has built an understanding with Bamba. Wotherspoon has had a wee break and should come back all guns blazing.

I'd have said 4-4-2.

Feel a bit sorry for Smith and Hanlon if I'm honest. Good to see that Hogg will be back at CB, and that Stevenson is getting a chance.

Do we think 4-4-2 or the usual 4-2-3-1? Or even 3-5-2 for that matter...?

hhmm Interestin anyway!! Not overly convinced(on paper)of a midfield four of Cregg, Rankin, Stevenson and Miller. Will definately have more shape anyway than what weve been playing with the past few games!

Never rated him to be honest.

Hopefully Stevenson is eager to impress and puts in a solid performance, I'd like to see him succeed.

Glad to see Yogi has changed the team around, I'll say how good I think it is at the end of the 90 minutes:greengrin

[Glasgow Hibee]

Were not going for height then !

If it's Cregg, Stevenson, Rankin and Miller in the midfield we going to look like the diddy men there (showing my age). Maybe they'll run through the Motherwell players legs...:wink:

[Hibby 2005]

Strange line-up, hope it works.

[hibee62]

Seems strange to bring back Stack, Smith didn't look at fault for any of the goals on Wednesday and nearly saved the pen. Plus, Smith has, in general, been absolutely awesome so far...

[500miles]

Yogi clearly thinks the whole team needs a shake up. To be honest, I have no idea why Smith would be dropped - if it wasn't for him we could have shipped seven or eight midweek. Furthermore, Cregg isn't a sitting midfielder, and neither is Rankin. They are similar players, Cregg being the more aggressive, and Rankin the more offensively productive.

I'm a bit worried that we have changed a winning formula, taking a couple of defeats, and then actually deviated MORE from that winning formula. It could be a masterstroke from Yogi, but if I were him, I would have went back a couple of weeks, and merely tweaked that winning system.

Obviously something has shown up in training.

[Calidad]

How Rankin continues to hold down a spot is baffling.

[Expecting Rain]

A midget midfield by the looks of it with nobody wide on the right, looks like a panic team to me, you can`t trust Rankin,Cregg or Stevenson, the midfield battle will be more than interesting, still Yogi had to do something.

[squire]

Ye harsh on Smith. Yogi said to Radio Scotland Stack is back in because he knows how to handle Bamba by always being on his case to concentrate and Smith still needs to learn how to do this. Bamba certainly needs someone to be in his ear to keep him switched on for the 90 mins but as i said its harsh that Smith has been dropped. Hogg as captain should be taking this responsibility even when Stack in in goals

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

I think we'll struggle with that team, i hope i'm completely wrong!

Should Bamba be in the team if he needs to be telt tae concentrate for the entire 90 minutes?

Harsh on Smith.

[Golden Bear]

How Rankin continues to hold down a spot is baffling.

It's not at all baffling - he's been by no means the worst of late.

[down-the-slope]

Mcbride first name on starting 11 but on bench? I assume then he is not fully fit therefore the fact he is on the bench shows yogi is no convinced by options...he should not be risked as0we0cant afford him out long term

it seems sooo easy to send of a non rangers player i think....

so the commentator and co commentator say the opposite, but the ref see's different... unbelieveable

[superbam]

BBc saying it was a very harsh decision

[weecounty hibby]

Sounds like we were playing crap already, no chance of a win now. Hope I'm wrong though.

[Diclonius]

Why oh why oh why do Hibs always ****ing self destruct every ****ing season?! :brickwall

[Leithenhibby]

Game over.


:confused: why, has a 10 man team no won before....:wink:

[the_ginger_hibee]

More cowardly muscle flexing against Hibernian football club! :grr: Corrupt ****!

Ridiculous

[Hibee_Rab]

Game over.

No it ain't.

[Lofarl]

Im keen to see the replay of it. Hopefully we can appeal.

[J-C]

Commentator saying dangerous challenge but only worth a booking.

[down-the-slope]

Jobbies - not seeing it have no idea if fair...but he has had a couple of reactions in recent matches that could have been punished...hope the ref evens it up

[Barney McGrew]

Sounds like we were playing crap already, no chance of a win now. Hope I'm wrong though.

Two texts from guys at the game suggest the same. O'Brien retaliated by shoving Miller in the face two handed and only gets a yellow :rolleyes:

[Diclonius]

Withdraw a striker, put on Kevin McBride.

Now.

[J-C]

Im keen to see the replay of it. Hopefully we can appeal.


Can you appeal a straight red for a challenge.

[nonshinyfinish]

More cowardly muscle flexing against Hibernian football club! :grr: Corrupt ****!

Paranoid nonsense.

Referee in 'wrong decision' shocker...possibly. How many posting on here have seen the tackle, or the retaliation?

Wait 'til the fans get back, FFS. :grr:

[Mikey]

Dearie me. Do those of you who have thrown in the towel give up in life as easily?

If the players were as negative as you lot they'd be hounded out.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

nightmare. that means he will miss at least next week and probably week after.

midfield screwed now

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Looks like Yogi has merely delayed our annual implosion from Nov to Feb. The encouragement this will be giving to those in 4th 5th and 6th in the SPL is palpable :grr:

[Lofarl]

Can you appeal a straight red for a challenge.
No idea but Im sure the ugly sisters would know.

[Diclonius]

What would Jim Gannon say? :devil:

[KerPlunk]

So much for Dallas and his bullsh*t about refs becoming consistent - Nish red carded for retaliation and Duberry yelloed, today it's the opposite way around - it's a joke.

:rules:

[Hibs90]

Game over.

Go back to yam land ya fud.

[The Voice Of Reason]

I'd settle for a point right now.

I'm getting that sinking feeling about our season (apologies if that makes me a "Victor Meldrew" type character). :boo hoo:

Football cliche time - Apparently teams become "harder to play against when they go down to 10 men" (p*sh if you ask me, but lets see how today's game goes). :rolleyes:

[Captain Trips]

Looks like Yogi has merely delayed our annual implosion from Nov to Feb. The encouragement this will be giving to those in 4th 5th and 6th in the SPL is palpable :grr:

Hopefully can move the implosion to June next season.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

now murray is off with blood

[Beefster]

I'm fairly sure it's still 0-0 but you'd never guess it from the mass hysteria going on on this thread.

[Hibernating (Im a stoopid yam tramp)]

Paranoid nonsense.

Referee in 'wrong decision' shocker...possibly. How many posting on here have seen the tackle, or the retaliation?

Wait 'til the fans get back, FFS. :grr:


The guy on the radio says it WASN'T (WASN@T) a red, and only O'Brien should have been off. I'll go with that pal!

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Im keen to see the replay of it. Hopefully we can appeal.

And if we lose, do we get to replay the match, because of the incompetence of the official :grr::grr:

[Hibby 2005]

Sounds like we were playing for a draw anyway, now we certainly are.

[sixtwo]

Can you appeal a straight red for a challenge.


I'm sure you can. I hope we do. Sounds like we have a case.

[givescotlandfreedom]

I quite like that the commentary team aren't scared to criticise the officials for a change they've ruined a lot of games this season.

[Lofarl]

I'm fairly sure it's still 0-0 but you'd never guess it from the mass hysteria going on on this thread.


We are only a point ahead in 3rd. Its the end of the world I tell's ya. Oh I wish my team was in fighting for a top 6 spot like our neighbours.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

still playing with 9 men

[The Voice Of Reason]

I'm fairly sure it's still 0-0 but you'd never guess it from the mass hysteria going on on this thread.

No, you missed a goal - it's actually 1-0 for Hibs.

Hate to think what we would be like if it was 1-0 to M'Well. :rolleyes:

[Tollhouse Hibee]

murray now back

[Phil MaGlass]

Its classic hibs, promise so much produce nothing,we shouldnt be surprised,Miller has been on the edge of a red for weeks,and it doesnt get any better with another game against St.J coming up,wir doomed.

[Lofarl]

still playing with 9 men

So bamba's playing then :agree::agree:

[Hibby 2005]

Go back to yam land ya fud.

Have another beer and chill.

[Sean1875]

take a draw now?

[Phil MaGlass]

So bamba's playing then :agree::agree:
that would be 8 then

[nonshinyfinish]

The guy on the radio says it WASN'T (WASN@T) a red, and only O'Brien should have been off. I'll go with that pal!

May well be true.

But do you really think that the officials deliberately conspired to ***** Hibs over? What nonsense.

[Moody Mulder]

So much for Dallas and his bullsh*t about refs becoming consistent - Nish red carded for retaliation and Duberry yelloed, today it's the opposite way around - it's a joke.

:rules:

yep consistently inconsistent

[weecounty hibby]

take a draw now?
Absolutely. Point for us and nothing for Utd wouldn't be all bad.

[Hainan Hibs]

Falkirk score against the Sheep and make it 2-1!

Darren Barr scores, Aberdeen fans despise him for turning them down, I'm pretty pleased he scored:greengrin

[The Voice Of Reason]

Falkirk 2-1 up on The Sheep.

Our favourite player has scored - Darren Barr.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Jambo scores....


...for Falkirk... 2-1

[Hainan Hibs]

The guy who has just scored for Plymouth is called Craig Noone :faf: (Trying to humour myself while listening to this pish:greengrin)

[sixtwo]

take a draw now?

Na! I've taken us on ma coupon. Also got livi, leeds, and chelsea on an accumulator. I think if we can keep it tight in midfield and at the back we might sneak a wee one on the counter attack!

c'mon the cabbage!

[Hainan Hibs]

HT. What a crap game of football

[down-the-slope]

Can we have 2 match threads please

One for the glass half full people

One for the glass half empty people


anyway half time will be vital..gives both managers chance to change things..who will prove best at it :rolleyes:

[boomtownhibby]

anyone have advice because sportsounds not working for me and would like to listen to the game , thanks

[SaudiHibby]

C'mon the Hibs :thumbsup:

[The Voice Of Reason]

Turn your radio on (if you have one!)

Not helpful I know....sorry ! :duck:

[Glasgow Hibee]

Haven't been able to listen to all the game (did manage to catch the sending off - timing eh!).

Has Gow has been quoted much? I'm hoping he might be improving.

[shamo9]

FFS! People saying 'game over' and 'we're doomed' - have a word! I remember we went to this dump and won with 9 men in 2004.

Hopefully the red galvanises us; if we go 4-4-1, keep it tight for the rest of the game then rest assured that we will get a chance and that someone like Stokes will eat it up.

[Sean1875]

Havent heard much from Gow at all really, dont think weve worked the 'Well keeper at all?

[sparkiehibs]

Don't get the feeling we are going to win today.

I don't really know why.

Same

Should have played


Smith
Spoony Hogg Bamba Murray
Miller
Zouma Benji Galbraith
Stokes Riordan

The squad that is playing today is not good enough for this game.

[CapitalHibs]

Gow has the only shot on target according to Hibs Radio.

So much wrong with that. Sorry!

Pitch is like a ploughed field. Skill players would struggle to make a pass there.

[The Voice Of Reason]

2nd half just kicked off.

[Scorrie]

Why are Motherwell allowed to get away with a pitch like that? for the top league in Scotland, it's a disgrace. There should be minimum standards for the SPL.

Dear oh dear, we need to win this badly. Dont like the sound of this midfield.

what, so you want Lewis Stevenson there to twiddle his thumbs then punt the ball to the motherwell centre half.

In a game like this, we need benji to bring down balls and control them and we need deeks to make the difference

[Woody1985]

Anyone got a link to listen to the game?

Can't see if on BBC.

[stevensons-fan]

Agreed about the Benji comment; with such a bad surface then we need Benji on to control and take down the balls. I thought he did it brilliant in the first half of the Gers game.

Because that worked so well in the last couple of games, right? We needed changes from the debacle on Wednesday, and Yogi has provided this by adding much needed grit to the team. We have to realise that we're away from home against a team on form, first and foremost we have to earn the right to play.

Cregg and Stevenson might not provide the moments of magic, but they will provide a solid spine, something that was obviously needed after conceding 10 goals in 3 games.

[Sean1875]

:faf:

[Phil MaGlass]

said to a mate before the buns game we would only get 1pt in the next 4 games, hopefully Im wrong but looks like I could be right,were predictable and lightweight,we have the players but they just dont have the fight or as I have said,the steel.Hopefully today is the day we get that point,cos I dont fancy our chances against St.J. Doom and gloom not,realistic yes.

[The Voice Of Reason]

Sounds like Gow is having a better 2nd half :thumbsup:

[whiskyhibby]

Sounds like Hibs are on the back-foot this half.........

[Tollhouse Hibee]

lucky git.

this is torture

[Lofarl]

Sound like Bamba's great one min and nearly giving away a pen the next. The refs not letting the game flow though.

[Hainan Hibs]

Penalty shout from Motherwell denied.

[essexhibee]

Motherwell penalty shout, sounds like a good one aswell. ****in rankin :grr:

:greengrin it still makes great reading and not many would have expected to see that at this time in the season.

Were progressing and need another couple of transfer windows to get to where Yogi wants to be

[whiskyhibby]

Rankin just almost lost a penalty!!

[Woody1985]

Got volume now. :greengrin

Sounds like it should have been a pen.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Seems we might have got out of jail there. At least the ref's bad for both sides.

Rankin just almost lost a penalty!!

:rolleyes: how can you lose a penalty..under a divot

[The Voice Of Reason]

These Motherwell fans seem to be claiming for everything.......it is torture when you are listening on the radio !

COME ON HIBS - I THOUGHT 10 MEN WERE MEANT TO BE "HARDER TO PLAY AGAINST" !!!!!

[whiskyhibby]

A draw would be a good result at the moment...Come on the Hibees :agree::agree:

[Www1875hfc]

C'mon hibs, give us 1 chance,and take it....pleeeaassseeeeeeeee

Probably better because it isn't Paul ******* Mitchell and Alan ******* Preston for a change!

I wondered how long it would take the "look where we are crowd" to come out,lets leave it a couple of weeks and see if we will still be happy then.I hope we will but I sincerely doubt it.
