Team to play Motherwell

[Wotherspiniesta]

Tomorrow we put our 100% record v Motherwell on the line :greengrin. Big performance needed in our battle for SPL survival. I'd go for big changes. Very much doubt we would see this XI, but it would be a team with youthful exuberance with players who can actually pass the ball!

I would play nish because we actully scored when he was playing alongside riordan

[GreenCastle]

We all know that :greengrin

Though CC seems to want to play him.

I would play either Duffy or Byrne up top - we need movement and not people standing still up there.

[Jim44]

why are people even considering playing nish ahead of trackys, duffy and byrne? Hes demonstrated countless times that hes just not good enough.

I have to the best of my memory never been openly critical of Nish and always thought it was worth playing him in the hope that he would start scoring again. However my patience with him has withered and watching him on Tuesday finally convinced me that he is finished at Hibs.

I like that team - attacking but lets go for it.

I want Murray in there but I really think he struggles in CM - maybe let him hold and just do the basics.

A young back four but one for the future ?

[bingo70]

:agree:

I was actually saying before tuesday i thought he should play against Ayr as they could struggle to deal with him and he has proven in the past he's capable of scoring goals, however, tuesday was the final straw for me, he was absolutely abysmal and didn't once look like scoring, that had to be his last chance and it never happened for him unfortunately so time to start trying other things.

TBH though from the little i've seen of Byrne i'm far from convinced he's the answer, however there's potential with him, Nish is finished at hibs IMO.

[frazeHFC]

If that was a serious question, and not part of your joke. Then he is a young Cm who is quite defensive minded, came up from the U19s but injury has meant he has not made the 1st team yet.

If Thornhill is not available then:


Brown

Thicot Dickoh Hanlon Booth

Murray McBride

Wotherspoon Zemmama Riordan

Byrne

Really need a striker though, hopefully we do get Rooney.

And told to keep the ball on the deck as much as possible!

It wont be anything like that however, it will be the same jokers who have been oh so successful for us this season, and most likely the CBs hoofing terrible balls up to a lone Riordan all game long.

[blackpoolhibs]

If Smith Hart Murray and Nish are anywhere near fir park tomorrow, i seriously wonder if Calderwood is up to the job.

[bingo70]

If Smith Hart Murray and Nish are anywhere near fir park tomorrow, i seriously wonder if Calderwood is up to the job.

I agree about Smith and Nish, both have blown what should be there last chance, the other two i'd disagree with, both should be replaced with new signings but until then i'd have hart as right back as there's no one else and murray on the bench as cover for a number of positions.

Brown


Thicot / Dickoh / Hanlon / Booth

Wotherspoon / McBride / Murray / Rankin

Zemamma / Nish



I would have liked to have put Wotherspoon at right back as I think that is his strongest position, however that would leave the midfield on the short side so have elected to play him in the midfield.

Zemamma ran riot on his last outing so have put him up front, his pace will hopefully undo the old legs in the Motherwell defence. Both Motherwell CH's are pretty strong in the air so I was tempted to leave Nish out to avoid our midfield hiding and our defence being forced to punt the ball up front, which never works anyway, but he has a decent scoring record for us at fir park! so thought I would put him in ahead of Duffy.

Because Nish has scored for Hibs and the three you mention haven't.

I like that :agree: 2 holding midfielders and zemmama having a supporting role from the middle. Deeks and Spoony wont offer much help to the full backs but thats life when your squad is as thin as ours.

[essexhibee]

Utterly Brilliant Post Blackers. Smith is quite frankly a joke and looks a scared and bombscare man everytime he is near the ball. Hart - just *****. **** knows how much money we have spent on that numpty through his high wages and golden handshake. Murray is finished, although a good hibby so maybe a place on the bench fi him.

[yekimevol]

human error - or my brain gave up trying to think of a average player.

Did he? Was his last outing a "behind closed doors" game that no-one except you seen? I really must've missed that. I'd still have him in the team though - he needs games to get back to his best - to be fair there was a couple of glimpses of it against Smeltic, certainly wouldn't say he ran riot though

Seems very attacking for an away game - good looking line up though. Would be surprised if CC went with this but I'd like to see it given a go. I think Thornhill is carrying a wee injury so it's unlikely he'll play for a couple of weeks. If he was available I'd probably put him in for McBride.

[blackpoolhibs]

I might just do that, or there again i might not. One things sure though, it wont be because of anything you say.

Stevenson has broken his ankle and Hanlon is struggling as well. We may see Hogg today i reckon, dont know if CC has many other options in the centre of defence. Personally id like to see Thicot in the middle with Dickoh but i dont think CC will do it.

I feel for Thicot, the guys a player. He finds himself getting a start, plays well, makes the odd error, then he's out of the team again. He's just a young lad and technically a very good player. I'd like to see him just in front of a back four.:agree:

The reason I picked this team apart from McBride who's going ,and maybe Deek leaving the rest look to me like they may have a future at Hibs so lets stop faafing about and play whats staying then add the new signings appropriately ,who's to say McBride cant get another bash at Hibs at least he looks interested, not the best way to pick a team but at least he can concentrate on a starting 11 then add when injuries come in

Taken from the BBC site

Motherwell goalkeeper Darren Randolph:
"They are in a worse position than we are, low in confidence.

"Most of the boys watched the cup game on television the other night and we are all very confident going into the game that we can get one over on them."

Sentence 1 I can agree with

Hopefully sentence 2 breeds over-confidence in the Motherwell dressing room
