Betfair go 11/10 Blackpool . Must be a good bet, even in a friendly. :rolleyes:

[RoxburghHibs]

I know that we have sold out our tickets for this match - but how many did they give us?

[bingo70]

Hmmmmm.

Your probably right as they're a better side than us, however remember we should be a couple of weeks ahead of them in terms of preperation so that could work as a leveller.

Not that that made any difference against Crlisle but might be worth considering if you were thinking about sticking a fair wedge on.

[Mikey]

There's a bit about the game on SSN right now.

Odds are a bit worse though - currently 19/20.

See it as 4-5-1 unless Wotherspoon is left midfield.

He's been getting played there in pre-season friendlies, apparently played in that position for the under 19's.

Good for him coming in on the inside and firing shots in, no point in having a winger getting to the by line to get crosses in as we don't have any strikers that are likely to win headers in the box.

[Derek Dougan]

No Nish :grr:


:greengrin

[HibbyAndy]

Id rather have Brown in goals than Smith.

Yeah that is a good point. Pity about the lack of strikers who can head the ball well though as I think Wotherspoons main strength is his crossing. Lot of onus on him and De Graf scoring from midfield this season if Riordan is being used further forward.

[stevensons-fan]

Id rather have Brown in goals than Smith.

Agreed, would prefer him starting or at least given some game time.

[Dunbar Hibee]

Id rather have Brown in goals than Smith.

Snap.

:agree:

i said in another thread ive no confidence at all in smith. id have mark brown in goals before either of the other 2 i cant understand why hes not been given a chance really

Not likely to help the defenders.

I've got no problem with Stack not coming for crosses as at least defenders know where they stand but if it changes from week to week it's no wonder defenders get confused.

According to someone at the game we're playing 4-4-2 with Wotherspoon and Stokes up front :confused:

Remember hearing that a camel is a horse designed by a committee, starting to wonder if it was actually Yogi they were talking about :wink:

21m adam hits the crossbar[their is only one team in this just now]and its not us

[Hibs90]

Sounds like were getting pumped :grr:

[down the slope]

"
21 min: Demontagnac brought down on the edge of the box after some another nice passive move. Adam's curling free-kick rattles the crossbar. There is only one team in this game at the moment."

[Cabbage1875]

There's a shock :bitchy:

Only 2? I admire your optimism, you happy-clapper, you ;-)

[Hibeescott]

wotherspoon playing in the hole behind stokes might not be as mad as it seems, he is very good at threading wee passes in behind is 'D', so can understand him trying it. if indeed that is how we are playing of course..............

[RickyS]

did anyone else just hear sky sports report that stephen caldwell is playing for dundee utd as a trialist? it was a bad line tho?

[Hibs90]

1-1 :thumbsup:

Derek Riordan with a header :tee hee:

haha make that 1-0 to Well

[down the slope]

Deeks scores

[erin go bragh]

26m stokes bursts down the left wing , crossing to deeks but his flick towards goal is blocked by baptiste before being cleared.:grr: better though

[Col2]

did anyone else just hear sky sports report that stephen caldwell is playing for dundee utd as a trialist? it was a bad line tho?

See if that is the case I will be raging. Just the sort of physical defender with good experience we need. Yes he is a Caldwell and had a shocker in Norway a ear or so ago but he is someone who would improve us no doubt.

[erin go bragh]

goal deeks:thumbsup:a header ,get in there

He said he came on for Wigan despite not being on the official teamsheet.

[phoenixfire]

Thats the way to do it , play Deek up front on his
own and pump in high balls to him:thumbsup:

Where would we be without Deeks. Well done son. :thumbsup:

He is like Sproule on a motorbike apparently. :greengrin

[bighairyfaeleith]

Deeks for lone striker role:greengrin

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Why wouldn't we?

well, imo, i believe that the Premiership is light years ahead of the SPL so would make the prediction that we would not get a result today, especially the way our pre-season has gone! Happy to eat my words though if we do get a result :agree:

Aye - must be a typo :confused:

[RickyS]

Do you two no read :grr::bitchy:

read his before I saw yours

[sparkiehibs]

according to blackpool site we are playing a player called derek wetherspoon??

[ancienthibby]

Aye - must be a typo :confused:

39 min: Taylor-Fletcher breaks through the middle, finding Ormerod to his right but his shot is wel saved by Graeme Smith.

36 min: All go here. Alex Baptiste making a nuisance himself at the other end, striking the bar will a well struck shot.

34 min: A fine double save by Matt Gilks. Adam brings down Liam Miller on the edge of the box. Up steps that man Riordan again whose shot is well saved by the 'keeper. The ball falls only as far as Derek Wetherspoon who drills in from a tight angle but Gilks is equal to that one too.

[Col2]

read his before I saw yours

Me too. Didn't realise they were playing Wigan.

[BT58]

just hope with deeks playing so well that blackpool dont put an offer in

Sorry if mentioned earlier in this thread, but do we know who's on the bench for us?

Sounds like we could and should have been getting humped after the first 20 minutes so i think it shows you it's not the answer to all our prayers that so many think it is.

[Gettin' Auld]

Do you think that we have a real chance of getting a result from a Premiership team?
I've always found that a strange thing to say.........We get a "result" in every single game we play.

[sparkiehibs]

Sounds like we could and should have been getting humped after the first 20 minutes so i think it shows you it's not the answer to all our prayers that so many think it is.

We are drawing with a Premiership side, newly promoted or not, and for the first time this season, are trying to play attacking football.

We are playing our two best strikers up front where they should be

I am not saying 'Hibs to win the League', i am just saying it is better

It is better and i'm pleased we're getting a good result, if we can hold onto a draw or start winning it'd be good for confidence, however the point i'm making is that results don't tell you everything, just because they're both playing and we're getting a better result, it doesn't mean that it's because of the formation we're playing which is what you appeared to imply.

Fair enough

I just feel it has alot to do with the formation as 4-4-2 gives us a better opportunity for width and makes us more stable. 4-5-1 with Nish did not work as we dont have the players who drive from midfield to create support and 4-3-3 doesnt work for us as we get overrun in midfield and we have no width so middle of the park gets too crowded. 4-4-2 gives us the best opportunities in my opinion

[RickyS]

celtic 2-1 down now

[ancienthibby]

Fair enough

52 min: A quick break by Hibs results in Riordan having another strike at goal but it sails comfortably into the grasp of Gilks.

46 min: No changes for the Seasiders at half-time as the action gets underway once again.

[grunt]

Another shot by Riordan held by Gilks

[bingo70]

Fair enough

I agree about the lack of width and how we don't have a striker to play up front on his own, however i don't think we've got the legs in the centre of the park to play with just 2 in there, we'd get overrun even more than we do just now, especially as most teams now play with 5 across the middle.

Not sure what the answer is but i'm not entirely convinced it's playing 442

I agree with this, the players we have are better suited to 442 and I hope Yogi goes with this for the spl.

I think a diamond 442 is our best option with galbraith and spoony/zouma playing wide, mcbride as DMF and De Graff as AMC

I would say we played 4-3-3 on Thursday

I agree we need wingers but the structure is also required

[RickyS]

FT yet?

[Twiglet]

Anyone know where on the box the free kick was from (i.e. left/right/centre)? It would be interesting to know since Deeks seems to be best from the left(?) and with no Zemmama I think we need someone who can take a decent free kick from the right (and is a regular on the starting 11).

[Hibeescott]

IMO it was clear as day it was 4-4-2. deeks left mid, edwin right mid, they just drifted in far too much. the two of them were switching like supposed wingers would. and nish and stokes were very much a front 2. also i cant imagine deeks would have tracked back as much as he did if playing in a front 3. but opinions eh.

FT Blackpool 1- Hibs 2 :greengrin

FULL-TIME RESULT: BLACKPOOL 1-2 HIBERNIAN. A draw would probably have been a more fair result although it the Seasiders probably edged the game in terms of possession and chances. An entertaining first half was followed by a much quieter second period. More importantly though, a good run out for the lads who are looking sharper as each game goes on. Next up, it's the big kick off in the Barclays Premier League.

Well done the Cabbage, Beating a premiership team on there ain patch..***** have it!!.

If only we'd had Liverpool in the Europa, instead of Maribor! :boo hoo::wink::greengrin

[Hibstrooper]

I'll be having red sauce with my hat :wink:

What you going to use to keep your noggin warm now :greengrin

Good result. Hopefully Yogi has learnt from this pre-season and we'll start to play a system/style that suits.

[Black Kyle]

Good result to beat a Premirship team home or away. Let's just hope some of the team don't think
they're world beaters again and think they just have to turn up at Mudderwell.

[Bob Box Fish]

Good result and hopefully a confidence booster for next week.

[IWasThere2016]

Kwalitee! :thumbsup:

Now did we play 4-4-2? :dunno:

[Cameron1875]

Well done lads, maybe the 4 hours on the coach wasnt that bad an idea after all:wink:.

Considering blackpools season starts the same time as us thats a cracking result away from home:agree:

Outrageous price :agree:

Nasty, very very nasty.

well done hibees, hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel now :thumbsup:

[SRHibs]

That's what happens when you start with a strong team Yogi...:rolleyes:

Well done Hibs.:thumbsup:

[500miles]

I don't why people are suprised. Similarly, I didn't get the doom and gloom prior to today.

Blackpool will not have set up to stop us playing. They will have went out to play the game thier own way, to make chances, and play an open game. That suits us all day long, especially since they are at a similar stage of fitness to ourselves. It give the likes of Riordan, Miller and Stokes a lot of freedom, which they won't get against the likes of St.Mirren and Aberdeen who will set out to stop us playing, first and foremost.

This result changes nothing.

How funny is it to read the 1at 2 pages of this thread now..

Some folks feet must be sare with the amount of backtracking they'll be doing!!

Bet half them are gutted we won so they can't have a moan and greet about Hughes and predict how many goals Motherwell will pump us by on the opening day..

Get a grip FFS!

A wee bit positivity never goes a miss eh!

Come Yogi, let's build from this result and have a great season :notworthy:

A good win today, long over due, dont know where the *** you get the idea that half of us will be gutted due to us winning, what an idiotic thing to say. As for getting a grip, 1 win in a friendly does not make up for being completely and utterly clueless and pi5h for half a season, the folk who really need to get a grip are the twats that get onto the rest of the fans for speaking their minds about Hughes and the way we have not been playing fitba.
As for the game against Well, I still think they will beat us and beat us well.

[weonlywon6-2]

Great result for all the fans who went down to Blackpool and a wee boost for the players before the Motherwell game.

well done hibs. delighted for the fans that travelled.

[Billy Whizz]

Did we have a sub goalie on the bench!
Did he get on?

Backtracking?

There's no need for backtracking. Most of us have said that we should be putting out our best team every game, as opposed to persisting with Pish and Rank. Yogi obliged, and it paid dividends.

Any idea who was captain today in the absence of Hogg & Murray from the starting line up?

Hoefully Deeks again - been the star of the pre-season. Rod get that contract sorted Pronto!

[mim]

Well done you Hibees, although you gave me my first losing bet of the season after backing:

Maribor In Slovenia (after seeing Hibs team)
Maribor at ER (after watching the first game on the internet)
Celtic against Braga at Darkheid,
Man U today and
Hernandez to score anytime today

May the betting on this football season continue in the same vein. :thumbsup:

Exhibit A: this board after last Sunday's game at Carlisle

[Bishop Hibee]

Exhibit A: this board after last Sunday's game at Carlisle

The idea that half on this board wanted Hibs to lose against Blackpool is ridiculous. I was at Carlisle and it was as poor a performance as I've seen since Duff Jimmy was in charge although as I said at the time, Yogi should have given fringe players and promising youngsters a run out. The first teamers weren't interested.

Same team v Motherwell (if Stack isn't fit) and give it a good go.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Having been at Carlisle where to be honest Hibs were as poor as I have seen them for a long time and quite frankly looked like they couldnt be bothered. Followed by the Maribor game where we didnt look too bad but still looked like we had no chance of pulling back the game against a decent ( and thats all they were ) outfit. Its nice to see us get a result against a team who by definition cant be too bad. And even better that a big Hibs support went home happy.

Having said that I for one havnt got a clue how it will go next weekend.

So for now its good luck lads coz we need a decent result to kick start our season after a pretty poor last few weeks.

C'mon the Hibees !!!

All the guy did was say he thought we are going to lose to Motherwell. Does somebody's realistic opinion prompt you to call people tubes all the time?

Motherwell probably will beat us, because we are pish. Have been for a while now, would you like to disagree with me? If so, reply with something more intelligent than calling me a tube.

That was not all he said, he called us twats, if you think that is fine i don't.
We are not playing well at the moment and would take a draw away from home just now.
For the record i don't call people tubes for predicting we lose a match, if you think we will lose fine by me as it will have no bearing on the 90 mins whatsoever.

Simple name-calling is crap, so no I don't think that's fine.

I'm glad you realise that we are pish aswell, however as you say, my opinion won't have any bearing on the result, like yours...

Mark Brown came on at half-time and made a couple of decent saves.

[Hainan Hibs]

Good win for the team and hopefully it gives us confidence for the clash against the Mothers, good to see Miller get in on the goals and I home the trip was great for the fans:thumbsup:.

Instead of being angry at Hibs getting beat I think the Doom and Gloomers can be smug with the fact that dropping both Rankin and Nish brings wins against Premiership opposition, therefore proving us all right:greengrin

But Rankin came on as substitute before Hibs scored the winner.

Just saw the goals on SSN. Well taken by Deeks and Miller.

With respect to them, I don't think Blackpool are really Premiership class. I hope I'm wrong, because I like Ian Holloway, and I'd love to see them stick it to a few of the Big Teams, but I do fear the worst for them...

They're a more than decent side, though, and since I logged on this morning expecting to see a scoreline of 2 or 3-0 against us, a 2-1 win's a pleasant surprise. :rolleyes:

Aye true, it might not be a pretty year for them but at least those parachute payments from relegation (if it happens) will help soften the blow, can't believe it's now £48 million over 4 years:bitchy:

If Holloway can manage the team well, and do so while avoiding blowing huge sums on mediocrities (which TBF he's done in the past at Blackpool and other clubs) like other promoted sides have done, things could work out well for them in the long term. Hope so - I've a wee soft spot for Blackpool.

I'd truly LOVE to see them turn over some of their "big-team" Lancashire rivals.... :greengrin

Holloway has been in for a few players in the last few weeks. John Stead at Ipswich was one, a fee was agreed but he wants 17k a week. The top earner at the moment is on 8k a week. Holloway and Oyston wont put the club in debt, they wont pay these type of wages either, and will have to get very lucky with their signing if they are not relegated before xmas.
