Striker(s) v Dunfermline?

[IFONLY]

With Gary O`Connor seemingly injured according to the BBC and Leigh suspended, will we go with one or two up front on Monday . If so who ?

[hibsbollah]

Kujabi on his own in a 451.

:flag:

[hibernianyank]

I would go with O'Donovan and Doyle up front

:confused:

no mention on their match preview (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17890884)



A groin injury may prevent James McPake from leading Hibernian in their crunch league game against Dunfermline.

Leigh Griffiths and David Wotherspoon are suspended but midfielder Lewis Stevenson is available after a ban.

Tom Soares (Achilles) is a doubt and his fellow winger Danny Galbraith (groin) is out.

[007 Mickey Weir]

We only need a draw so do a Levein

4-6-0

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brown

Docherty - O'Hanlon -Hanlon -Kujabi

Francomb - Claros- Ozzy-Stevenson

Doyle- O'Connor(or O'Donnovan if injured)

[HH81]

I think he will start with Doyle and O'Donnovan to be fair.

An early goal will be handy and it can be party time after.

[Macaroon]

I would go with O'Donovan and Doyle up front

Really? :eek:

[18/03/07]

Doyle and Caldwell

[calumhibee1]

O'Donovan & O'Connor. If Gaz is out then Doyle in.

[FitbaFolkKen]

Doyle is going to burst the net on Monday night I reckon, he gets in decent positions.

Hopefully we can get a result and a couple of goals and some competition for places before the 19th.

[thebakerboy]

If GOC is not fit and with Sparky suspended I'd definitley play Caldwell and Doyle , but watching Barca could we borrow Messi for a day PPPPLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE

[Golden Bear]

I still think that in the long term Doyle will prove to be great signing for us. He's got pace, awareness and obviously been working on his upper body strength.

All the attributes required for a modern day striker.

[Ultrabee1-0]

o'donavan & doyle have never played upfront together so no partnership.
not got a clue how he is gona do it:confused:
o'donavan is rank rotten so id go with
doyle&caldwell

but once again no experience of playing together its a tricky one:rolleyes:

[Shrekko]

I hate the expression 'like playing with 10 men' but in the case of most of O'Donovan's appearances the phrase is pretty apt. I know he's scored 2 goals (although one was a fluke) but I've rarely seen a player contribute so little. I'll be very disappointed if he starts or plays at all in such a big game.

[Hainan Hibs]

4-6-0 formation until 65 minutes, bring on Sproule and go 4-5-1.

He'll replicate the hat-trick at Ibrox:agree:

I can't see where you got the GOC info from, I can see nothing on BBC website.

[Ultrabee1-0]

yeah gazz played at aberdeen fenlon only took him off because he wasnt fit only had 1 training session under his belt he will know have a full week and should last a good 60/70 mins hopefully 90

[Northernhibee]

All the pressure is on Dunfermline - a draw will not do it and even if they do win, they have to win big as it could come down to goal difference.

They'll have themselves open at the back all too often - get Gaz there to cause them problems, and Doyle to find space.

[lyonhibs]

If we're playing 2, then Sproule and Doyle from the start ta very much.

GGTTH

[hibee92]

Doyle's position play is something many strikers would kill for and will marvel at. He'll come good. Start him I say.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i wouldn't mind seeing a 4-5-1 for this game :agree:

[JohnStephens91]

I'd go 4-5-1 with the midfield of: Soares, Claros and Stevenson in the centre (Soares can create chances) and Sproule and Francomb on either wing with Doyle upfront. But of course if Garry is fit then a 4-4-2 is a must and I'd go with him and Doyle playing together.

Don't think Goal Difference comes into it now. We can't finish on the same points with the two games left.

[dmc1875]

His positional play and link up play is good. He is even quite good in the air. My worry is, is he a finisher?? :confused:

[Pretty Boy]

We can.

Dunfermilne beat us the gap is 2 points, we draw with ICT and Dunfermilne beat Killie its level on points.

[Iggy Pope]

We can.

You are 100% correct and I am a puddin.......

[Brebners Bookie]

Doyle and Caldwell

This for me.

[Borderhibbie76]

This for me.

Seriously??? An untried youngster upfront in our most important league game for years??? It's got to be GOC (if fit) and Doyle, even if we only get 45 mins out of GOC, that could just be enough...

:pfgwa

[KingFranck]

I would go with Ivan just behind Gary O or Caldwell
