We HAVE to beat St Johnstone on Wednesday

[Monts]

As we wont pick up many points in October.

Very tough run of games coming up so we need to capatalise now before we see ourselves back at the bottom.

Octobers games are:

Rangers Away
Motherwell Home
St Mirren Away
Celtic Away

From that lot I think we're looking at 4 points at the most.

Wednesday night is a winnable game. Lets continue our goal scoring and cut out the silly mistakes. Otherwise it could be a loooong month ahead.

:confused::confused: Can I have some of what your on please?

[Leishy1995]

Sproule and O'connor to tear up Rangers, Motherwell will be hard as will St Mirren and Celtic :flag:

[Hibs Class]

your having a laugh


Agree - no place for pessimism on this board. Right now we should be targeting 12 points from these four games. :flag::flag:

[Monts]

So whats your thoughts on the St J game then?

[Billy Whizz]

So whats your thoughts on the St J game then?

3 points for Hibs of course!

[MotherSuperior]

it's gonna be tough match to win; if you look at current form and previous encounters with St Johnstone, then you can't fancy us for the mid week coupon! One thing you certainly can predict is that this is not going to be a thing of beauty! But if we can somehow manage not to gift them goals, then i think we could get this monkey off our back, and hopefully start to turn the corner. I also think the crowd will be really low, in the regions of 7500, hope I'm wrong though.

[PaulSmith]

Going with my pessimistic 'Well prediction I think Sandaza and Sheriden will rip us up for erse paper.

If we play like the Hertz did on Sunday it will be tough, or if we leave our defenders in the dressing room. Should be a good game as Saintees played some good footy on Sunday, and we didn't hoof it as much as we have been in our last few games.

As for the Monkey:confused:

As for the crowd:na na: Who cares:wink:

[coco22]

st j in pretty good form at the moment and two strikers playing very well together apparently. our defence will have to be at their sharpest:shocked: . think there will be goals in this one (as with any other match involving our back four and prolific talisman) with hibs scraping a win.

i hope victor snaps that wee scrote sheridan.

As for the Monkey:confused:: we've not won a league match at Easter Road for what seems like an eternity!

I think St J are also perfectly capable of putting in a rotten performance as they did in their previous home game in the cup v St Mirren.

[ronaldo7]

Oh that Monkey.

I hope the stat will be blown apart on Wednesday, but you never know eh.:wink:

Yeah, I would leave our defenders in the dressing room. :greengrin

[MotherSuperior]

Oh that Monkey.I hope the stat will be blown apart on Wednesday, but you never know eh.:wink: here's hoping buddy! I really think a win on Wednesday will galvanize the team and the supporters and give us something to build on. It's a pity we've got rangers the following match and not a more winable game.

[At The Edge]

thing is we'll probably turn Rangers over then get humped at home the following week by Motherwell. :wink:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

As long as we don't get beat, that will be a half decent result for us. Progression is turning all the defeats into draws, and then turning those draws into wins. On current form, if the result is a draw, St J will view that as two dropped.

[Wheat Hound]

If we don't win, surely CC has to go? No home league wins out of ten - how can keeping him be an option?

A very reasonable and reasoned approach but basically balls :greengrin

Ah but you have to admire the mans optimism, unfortunately McInnes was in the stand on saturday so will have seen exactly
what needs to be done to beat us.

[Hibs Class]

Ah but you have to admire the mans optimism, unfortunately McInnes was in the stand on saturday so will have seen exactlywhat needs to be done to beat us. I'd assume our management team watched SJ yesterday and will have worked out what it will take to beat them.

[calumb]

I notice you said "management team" as our manager was more than likely not even in the country yesterday, which i think is part of our problem

[Alfred E Newman]

If we finally gel on Wednesday and pick up our first home win since February will the team do a lap of honour at the final whistle?

[Sir David Gray]

I targeted a minimum of 6 points from our 4 league games in September, or I would be calling for Calderwood to go. We currently have 3 points from 3 games so we must win on Wednesday or else Calderwood should be gone by Thursday morning.

To not win at home in 10 successive matches would just be unacceptable.

[Hibs Class]

I notice you said "management team" as our manager was more than likely not even in the country yesterday, which i think is part of our problem

I did, primarily because as long as we are sufficiently informed then which of the team watched them is in some respects secondary and I knew if I'd just said "our manager" it would invite comment.

CC Is at the edge now he is almost par with the Duffsters record who lasted 46 games CC ON 43 now its neck and neck.:flag:can he beat or equal the Duffsters record ? or can we rise and be a force with CC In charge ?

[hibsbollah]

There will be goals.

There will be goals.


That's what I'm afraid of. :wink:

[smurf]

Exactly. You kind of feel sure Calderwood would not have been in Perth on Sunday.

It's a ridiculous situation.

We have an open-topped bus at the ready right now :wink:

[Dashing Bob S]

Can't see anything other than a comprehensive Hibs victory, I'm afraid (I'm a doom and gloomer) 4-1 to the Greens.

[silverhibee]

If they win they will be straight up to George Street for a lap of honour, mind you if they get beat they will still hit George St. :devil:

[silverhibee]

It showed Neil Lennon at the game and mentioned he was there as celtc play St Js this weekend, it gave a good picture of the main stand where he was sitting, there was no sign of CC or BB, maybe Hibs have someone who takes in these games and reports back to the manager with a report on St Js, or they could have watched it on the tv.

[Hibee_Craig7062]

I can 100% assure you he wasnt anywhere near Perth. He was on a flight out of Edinburgh at 7.45pm on Saturday night!

Billy Brown was at Mcdairmid for us on Sunday......I wonder who was going to these type of games before we brought him in

[smurf]

Ahh.. some will say "What's the big deal?". The assistant was sent. Or it can be watched in video etc etc. Funny though how Neil Lennon sees the importance of properly doing his homework....

[easty]

Lennon doing his homework, what a geeeeeeek......Calderwood will be along soon to pole him and then flush his ginger heid down the toilet.

[southern hibby]

we've not won a league match at Easter Road for what seems like an eternity! That's because it is an eternity.GGTTH

[Albion Hibs]

Ahh.. some will say "What's the big deal?". The assistant was sent. Or it can be watched in video etc etc. Funny though how Neil Lennon sees the importance of properly doing his homework....

What if Calderwood was away to have a look at a player / possible new signings? Surely as long as one of the management team are along then that is more than fine? In any event I am sure it will be analysed on tape.

[smurf]

Aye again I'm sure he will have been scouring euro markets...

[Albion Hibs]

Aye again I'm sure he will have been scouring euro markets...

But you will admit that you do not have a clue if that was or was not the case.

In any event, analysing games, having a go at managers, and players based on TV games is good enough for a right few on here, so why would someone who actually knows something about the sport need to see in person, especially if he had someone else there.

[NOLA]

Ahh.. some will say "What's the big deal?". The assistant was sent. Or it can be watched in video etc etc. Funny though how Neil Lennon sees the importance of properly doing his homework.... :agree: you see alot more of the game in person than otherwise watching it on the box, you miss all the unseen work for one.

[calumb]

Yep and more importently for this week so does Derek McInnes and sitting high up in the stand he will have seen exactly the areas to target us.

Celtc away to Hertz on Sunday Silver

[Jones28]

Saint Johnstone - 3 points, Hibs to win 3-1
Rangers - 0 points, Rangers to win 2-0
Saint Mirren - 1 point, 2-2 draw
Celtic - 1 point, 1-1 draw

5 points from the next 4 games when playing the Old Firm is doable IMHO

Celtic are pants, having watched them vs ICT
Rangers are probably going to be to quick against us
Hibs should win home games against most SPL teams, starting on wednesday
Heart says 2-3 to Hibs vs St Mirren, but more likely a score draw

GGTTH :flag:

[silverhibee]

Celtc away to Hertz on Sunday Silver

Oops.

Well he was there to watch the yams, :greengrin, i wondered when i seen him with his bodyguards leaving with ten minutes to go, maybe feared he would get attacked by an ugly yam up in Perth.

In order for CC To beat or equal the Duffsters dismal record We Must take at least a point from our next 3 games ?

Can FH Please confirm CC Is close very very close, The Duffster lasted 46 Games, CC Is on 42 according to my stats.

[Dashing Bob S]

St Johnstone - 4-1 for Hibs - can't see us having any problems
Rangers - 3-0 for Hibs - the momentum will carry us past an average Huns team
St Mirren - 6-1 for Hibs - we'll be out for revenge
Celtic - 2-1 for Hibs - can see us struggling a bit here for some reason.

2 Draws from next 4 games and CC Beats the Duffsters record. The only way it can be worsened is 4 staight defeats.

We will win tonight but it is a concern at how close CC is to The Duffsters points tally:confused:

the fact that the records are debatable should be a sacking in its self IMO

[nortonhibby]

We will win tonight:flag:i am more concerned about the date the Duff was sacked he soldiered on till Feb, McNeil only the one game then gave up:confused: could BB Be The new Mcneil ?

A Win tonight we all know is papering over the cracks if CC Is left till Feb next year, the new manager will not have enough time ALA Duffy i keep bringing this dud up but CC Maybee a little better but not by much.

I Predict a win ny 3 goals tonight:flag:

[hibs0666]

Looks like the new pre match grub arrangements are paying off already.

[Bayern Bru]

If BB is the tactician i.e. switching Towell and Palsson and suggesting Hanlon and Murray swapping over, then why would we WANT Calderwood to have watched St Johnstone?
