Might aswell get this one in early seeing as its only a few days away.

How do you think we should line up?

I'd go with:


.......................Brown......................

Spoony....O'Hanlon...Stephens.....Hanlon

..............Welsh.......Stevenson...........

.......................Scott...................... ..

Galbraith........Sodje/Gaz............Griffiths

Subs: Stack Murray Palsson Sproule Caldwell Horner Sodje/Gaz



Hart is never going to be good enough and after a decent display at Aberdeen last week, resorted to his standard performance level today. O'Hanlon doesn't fill me with confidence, but is probably a little better than Murray. A little. I don't mind Hanlon at LB, I think he's been doing OK there. Stack may make some decent saves, but his failure to come for crosses doesn't help one bit, so Brown deserves a chance. So does Welsh, he's waited long enough and hopefully can create a little more in the centre of the park than Wotherspoon/Stevenson. Galbraith and Griffiths can cut in from the wings.

Its a waste of time. You can shuffle the cards as much as you like but you still come up with the same duff hand.

Want to see booth back. He offers us a lot more going forward, even if it sacrafices a bit at the back. That would allow to hanlon back in central defence where he is best.

Also maybe like to see the return of palsson. We are crying out for an attacking midfielder though.

Hart was on the pitch for 76 mins, when he went off it was 1-1. How is Hibs losing 3-1 Harts fault? :confused:

Hart may well have to start Wednesday.

Lets hope some new faces are in by end Jan.

Opinions eh, just shows that there are loads of options out there that we all feel are viable solutions. Problem is that no matter what we are doing at the moment with the team, it is still cascading down a slippery slope. IMO we need 4 players in the window, 2 no nonsense all out ball winning defenders preferably with a bit of experience and pace and 2 central midfielders that can pass a ball to feet or into space when required to do so, not blooming just give the ball away for the sake of passing it. Oh aye and huge set of balls for everyone else.

When you look at all the possible formations that have been posted, the glaring thing that jumps out for me is how really dreadful we are in midfield (especially with Osbourne injured). Midfield names mentioned to date are :-

Scott
Wotherspoon
Stevenson
Pallson
Welsh
Booth
Sproule
Gabraith
Stanton
Griffiths (I would play him up front, but someone mentioned him in midfield).

A distinct lack of a midfield powerhouse and a playmaker (key things for a midfield, surely ?!?!?)

All of these jokers would struggle to get a game for every other SPL team IMHO.

Very worrying - Fenlon must address the midfield area as a matter of priority IMHO. :agree: :worried::worried:

NORTHERNHIBBY
25-12-2011, 09:34 PM
4-4-2. Whatever the players. We have no one in the midfield, Osbourne apart, who can take the ball and pick a pass. That leaves us picking four stuffy mids that shouldn't let the ball get through them, the downside being hoofing it up front. Doing that to one man is pointless. Sodje, to try to make it stick and LG cos he is scoring.

Albion Hibs
26-12-2011, 10:33 AM
I think it is important that we play with two strikers as we dont have a proper target up front, but more importantly we have no support or attacking drive from out full backs. As a result every team starts and finishes games all over us. I am choosing to leave Wotherspoon out, I am sure there may be a player in there somewhere, I just cannot for the life of me remember the last time I saw it, Palsson in addition gives little to be excited about. Ideally I would play Murray at CH instead of O'Hanlon, but think we are lacking someone to stop our midfield collapsing.

On that basis;

Brown

Hart / O'Hanlon / Stephens / Smith

Murray

Scott / Towell / Griffiths

Sodje

O'Connor


I am not usually one for just firing in the youngsters, but we have had nothing from our full backs this season. He offers a decent delivery into the box from what I have seen to why not. With Griffiths in front of him he may be a little exposed, but I guess he will just have to deal with that. It is worth the sacrifice to perhaps, and I know it is a crazy thought, maybe actually score from a corner or free-kick (I dont think we have done that all season, with maybe exception of O'Hanlon at St Mirren).

I think that's as fair a shout as any. Like you I'd prefer Murray at CH but needs must. The only personnel change I'd make is Stevenson in for Smith (with no protection from Griffiths we need a left-back with more positional discipline than I've seen from Smith or Booth. Hanlon isn't in my thoughts). Moving Towell to right-mid, or even playing Wotherspoon there, would give us a no nonsense central pairing of Scott and Murray which is what we need give our uniform lack of quality.

As for corners, Scott's deliveries were excellent every time when he was taking them in the league cup rout - I have no idea why he hasn't been on them since.

I would like to see 2 up front and also Ian Murray sitting in front of the defence playing a 4-1-3-2 formation. Match Caley in the middle of the park and we at least have a chance of taking something from the game. My team would be along the lines of this -

Gk. Stack
Rb. Hart
Cb. O'Hanlon
Cb. Stephens
Lb. Hanlon
Dm. Murray
Rcm. Wotherspoon
Cm. Palsson
Lcm. Stevenson
Cf. Griffiths
Cf. O'Connor or Caldwell if unfit

A lack of width there perhaps but we are not a team that hits the bye line anyway with great consistancy. If we play one up front then I fully expect some of the fans to turn on Fenlon even this early into his tenure. This is our game like the St Mirren one last season that has a great bearing on it as win it and we stay in touch with others but lose and we are cut adrift with just Dunfermline keeping us company.

Hart did well against Dundee Utd, would you not agree? I would agree he was not great against Rangers but I thought the played well against Dundee, and I dont think it is any coincidence that they scored their second and third after he went off. If the solution is designed to have Palsson in midfield, I would rather start with 10 men, they guy has never kicked a ball for hibs. I must have blinked and missed the stage were he was really good for us.

I have commented previously that we are playing too many players out of position, in an ideal world I would play Towell at RB but I think that leaves us wanting in midfield. How many of our other midfielders have got themselves up the pitch and scored so far this season?

He can't have been hooked after 70 min because he isn't quite up to full match fittness, nah, silly suggestion I suppose. lets all just jump on the bandwagon and slate the current whipping boy shall we ?

Nah, he was hooked after 70 minutes because he was playing crap. The defence was solid in the first half but after the break they fell to pieces and Hart was a big part of that IMO. Hart was decent/good against Aberdeen but was woeful again on Saturday and was taken off because of that. We're all allowed opinions on players, I praise them when they do well and criticise them when they're having a mare. So it's not a case of the "current whipping boy" or "jumping on the bandwagon" it's just my opinion of his performance. Hart's not good enough IMO.

27-12-2011, 07:31 PM
Sorry little man I was there, i saw it. Most of our issues after that came down the right hand side. But seeing as your football mastermind plays Wotherspoon at right back, your comments hold little water with me...he has been woeful there this season, in fact I think everytime he has played there he has cost us a goal.

As for who knows better, perhaps a little childish....but none the less to be expected.

Selective memory again on your part. Hart was hooked because most of our issues were coming down that side. My football mastermind? Don't know what you're talking about. If it's a reference to our manager's decision to hook Hart then have a word, the guy's been in the door for 3 and a half games and is still trying to figure out what to do with this team.

My comment wasn't childish, it was more jesting. Hence the :greengrin

Seeing as you can't take a laugh though, I'll refrain from quoting you from now on. If you want to see childish, read your first sentence again :aok:

I am pretty sure most of our problems were coming right through the middle, and it was there midfielders not being bothered in the slightest by our own that led to the first goal and service to the strikers for the 2nd and 3rd - did you see something different?

With regards mastermind I was referring to you playing wotherspoon at RB, he has cost us a goal every time he has played there this season.

I am pretty sure most of our problems were coming right through the middle, and it was there midfielders not being bothered in the slightest by our own that led to the first goal and service to the strikers for the 2nd and 3rd - did you see something different?

With regards mastermind I was referring to you playing wotherspoon at RB, he has cost us a goal every time he has played there this season.

Is that so?

We've had 4 clean sheets this season. Care to venture a guess at who was RB in two of those games?

I will better that, how about you tell me who cost us the goal during the last game he played at RB?

I will go one more and ask who played right back in the last game we won?

Clue - the answer to both these questions is different.

.......................Brown......................

Spoony....O'Hanlon...Stephens.....Hanlon

..............Welsh.......Stevenson...........

.......................Scott...................... ..

Galbraith........Gaz.............Griffiths

i think this would be a good team to field for the game Vs Inverness, giving Brown, Welsh & Scott a chance to start the game. Hopefully the players will be dying to impress to try and make the starting XI Vs. Hearts'

If you mean Wotherspoon against Dunfermline then congratulations. He never tracked his man. :aok: Still a better option than Hart who for an experienced player has cost us more goals than I care to imagine during his time at Hibs.

You're certainly going back a while there! Towell v St Mirren? :confused:

Is that the best response you've got to your original post about Spoony costing us a goal everytime he's played at right back? After I proved you were slavering?(again)

Anyway, whoever the manager picks at right back better be up to scratch if he's up against Hayes.

I think Inverness have a real attacking threat so I think Fenlon might use 4-2-3-1

My prefered team would be:

Brown

Wotherspoon (WBR) - Stephens (CB) - Hanlon (CB) - Booth (WBL)

Stevenson (DM) - Palsson (DM)

Galbraith (AMR) - Scott (AMC) - Griffiths (AML)

O'Connor (ST)

Subs: Stack - Towell - O'Hanlon - Stanton - Sproule - Sodje - Caldwell

Fenlon says Sam Stanton has shown a lot of promise and hard work in training and I've heard a lot of good things about this kid so I would like to see him rewarded with a debut off the bench. Galbraith looks lively but i'm not sure he is the best person to be shooting at goal. In defence it was a toss up between O'Hanlon and Stephens but, although Stephens has made a few mistakes, I am not convinced by O'Hanlon. Booth has made it back into my team but I am still convinced the lad is a LM or a winger, hopefully he will re-live his sweet strike from the visit of Inverness last season. Wotherspoon goes into a wing back role so he can get forward and play the passing game but only because I feel Hart isn't good enough and we don't have anyone else who can play that position any better. Stevenson has played his heart out in the last couple of weeks, no doubting that and while some people would say he isn't a good enough player, the other players can only benefit from seeing some raw passion. Scott is pretty much the only "creative" player I can think of so I put him in an AMC supporting role, hopefully he would hit some decent through balls to the wingers and striker. Palsson is there as added insurance, a tackler and a strong guy, he is an ideal anchor man to keep the opposition at bay. I think Brown deserves a stint in goal, don't think Fenlon has seen him play in a SPL match yet either and Stacky could enjoy a wee rest prior to the derby. If Osbourne was fit, he would have nailed down one of the first places in my team but he isn't so that makes it a little bit tougher. Would also like Griffiths and Galbraith to switch places every now and again throughout the match, would confuse the full backs a little bit.

Would like to see Fenlon have a change of tactic after the break if scores are still level - maybe try a classic 4-4-2.

Sadly I don't think that it will make a significant difference regardless of the make up or formation of the team.

The truth is that they're all much of muchness and that is just no very guid.

:boo hoo:

Some of these teams make me realise there might actually have been worse managers than CC out there!

The team will not be changed much, nor should it, we need to start getting consistency and people knowing their positions and their jobs on the pitch.

Neither is this the time to start with the usual nonsesne that the under 19 team could do better.

Spoony is one of our better players - and since he has been moved into central midfield has done ok.... he will start tonight for sure....

It wont make much difference but the sooner the loan players come back the sooner we can get rid of a couple of high earners in the mould of Sproule and Hart.

Why judge them from 2 years ago....What about right now? Wotherspoon has played many first team games, Welsh (IIRC) hasnt had a competive match. Wotherspoon is regular U21 player, Welsh not even in squad...... It would be great for Welsh to make a breakthrough, but to consider him better than Wotherspoon - surely not??? There is no doubt Wotherspoon form has dropped over last year, but he has rarely played in his position. He is now - actually last 3-4 games he is getting back to some decent performances....he was decent on Saturday...

United players were going past him with ease on Saturday, Wotherspoon has struggled in every game I have seen him this season. Not good enough.

wasnt how I saw it...Thought he won his share of ball on Saturday - anyway, he's a good player - not on form - but a good player - He's worth his place in our eleven currently
