Williams

Clancy

Sproule
Deegan
Cairney
Doyle

Griffiths
Kuqi

Subs:
Antell
O'hanlon
Stevenson
Claros
Wotherspoon
Caldwell

Not a big fan of Spoony, I take it? :flag:

Nope tbh I think the only thing great he did today was the assist, the second half just summed it up for me when he did that trick and smashed it out for a throwing when handling could have been through but that's just my opinion!

[Northernhibee]

Williams
Clancy McPake Hanlon Maybury

Wotherspoon Deegan Claros Cairney

Griffiths Kuqi




Team picks itself IMO.

[JohnStephens91]

Williams

Clancy McPake Hanlon Maybury

Wotherspoon Deegan Stevenson Cairney

Kuqi Griffiths

If Griffiths is not fit then it will be Doyle. To be fair that actually looks a solid and dependable side.

:agree:

Kuqi is what Doyle needs - a strong player to give good supply, and someone to learn from.

[JohnStephens91]

Kuqi is what Doyle needs - a strong player to give good supply, and someone to learn from.

Griffiths, Kuqi, Doyle, Caldwell and Handling are choices of strikers most SPL teams would like to have IMO, Griffiths is so dangerous, Kuqi has bags of experience and is a powerful player and Doyle has the quality of movement to find space. Caldwell and Handling have got talent and promise in abundance. Let's hope there is more to follow.

Not a bad team Stuart, my only comment would be if all players signed then the new signings would be on the bench if not starting.

Exactly!! Not sure why everyone making loads of changes after yesterday's game.

[AlbertK86]

Yep if all three sign would have Watt starting with Forsyth and Doyle on bench instead of Stevenson and Booth

[Speedway]

Haven't seen the side I'd go with yet so:

Williams

Clancy
McPake
O'Hanlon
Maybury

Cairney
Claros
Deegan
New Guy

Tekkers
Kuqi

[frazeHFC]

Williams

Clancy McPake Hanlon Maybury

Wotherspoon Deegan Stevenson Cairney

Kuqi Griffiths

If Griffiths is not fit then it will be Doyle. To be fair that actually looks a solid and dependable side.


:agree:

That would be my team too.

[Hfc_Since1875]

I guessing iv missed this rumour but who's watt?

I think the team will be

Williams

Clancy
Mcpake
Hanlon
Maybury

Wotherspoon
Claros
Deegan
Cairney

Kuqi
griffiths

[Monts]

Haven't seen the side I'd go with yet so:

:confused:

[DH1875]

Drop Doyle for Kuqi and go with the rest from yesterday IMO. More importantly is the formation and position we play. Hope we go for it 442 and none of the 451 crap of last week.

[Judas Iscariot]

Williams

Clancy McPake Hanlon Maybury

Wotherspoon Deegan Claros Cairney Sproule

Griffiths

[DaveF]

Is it one of them rare 3pm Saturday kick offs?

I might drag my carcass along to see if we can build on that half decent display or fall flat on our faces :greengrin

[M11BMO]

Anyone who has Sproule anywhere near a starting eleven seriously needs their heads checked.

[Aldo]

Anyone who has Sproule anywhere near a starting eleven seriously needs their heads checked.

Spot in. Well said. Sproule is no more than a 15 min impact sub, if that at all.

[Heisenberg]

Think we'll likely see the same team as yesterday with Kuqi (if signed) on the bench.

[Bookkeeper]

Spot in. Well said. Sproule is no more than a 15 min impact sub, if that at all.

Beat me to it. Totally agree :agree:

[Wotherspiniesta]

Same team as yesterday, with the exception of Kuqi (if he's signed) in for Doyle. Possibly Claros in for Stevenson. (Thought Claros done quite well when he came on to be fair)

Shame, I think Doyle's quite a handy player but would love to see how Kuqi and Griffiths link up together.

[LeighLoyal]

The Kuqi monster signed up then?

[Speedway]

:confused:

:agree:

[Albion Hibs]

If we sign a 6ft plus striker the only change i would make is him in for Doyle, other than that i would see no point in changing the team. That would also allow us the option of playing one up front with Griffiths in just in front of the midfield given we are away from home.

[FromTheCapital]

......................................Williams.... ....................................

If Stevenson isn't fit then Claros and if Griffiths isn't fit then Doyle.

[hfc rd]

Is this Kuqi signed? Not heard really anything other than Wikipedia and hibs rumours.

Agreed. I think this is currently likely to be almost our best 11 (assuming all the info about Kuqi is correct) with the only question about whether it should be Stevenson or Claros. Personally I'd go with Stevenson if he was fit.

[hfc-1875]

i'd go for

williams

clancy
mcpake
hanlon
maybury

wotherspoon
claros
deegan
cairney

griffiths
kuqi/doyle

pretty much the same team but i'd go for claros over stevenson. thought claros done well in our last friendly against huddersfield and done better on sunday. would also play kuqi over doyle if signed and ready to play by sat.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Wouldn't want Claros anywhere near the team.

[shetlandhibee]

David stephens has been picked for the Wales under-21 squad lol gd luck with that:no way::faf::faf::crazy:

A player with potential, but Hibs aren't in a great position to give that potential a platform these days. I still think he could develop into a very good player for us, or someone else.

A loan spell in div one under someone like Presley would do him the world of good

[Judas Iscariot]

Wouldn't want Claros anywhere near the team.

And why not?

[Since90+2]

And why not?

Im guessing its because the guy is mince.

[HibeeN]

With Stevenson's broken toe I'd imagine we'll definitely be seeing Claros in centre midfield, but I think he deserves a place there anyway. He wasn't outstanding on Sunday by any means, but I thought his performance showed signs of what he can do given time to settle in and grow in confidence. Although there were a few stray passes and loose balls from him on Sunday, there was also some composed, intelligent play and I think we'll see more of that from him if he is given a chance and his confidence grows. He certainly seemed more up for it and was chasing things down and looking for the ball.

Here's hoping he does well. :aok:

Yep getting there now. A couple of wingers and another CH if being greedy but will accept a left winger if money tight

[HibsNutter]

With the likelyhood being that Kuqi isn't yet fit(maybe wrong), I'd go with

Williams

Clancy
Mcpake
Hanlon
Maybury

Wotherspoon
Deegan
Claros
Cairney

Doyle
Griffiths

Most people have this team and I'm no different.

[EdinMike]

To clarify for a few folk who didn't get the memo !

Stevenson is definitely out for at least 6 weeks.

[Billy Whizz]

Claros, is the obvious change for Stevenson

[EdinMike]

Oh and in Kuqi (clarified now as Koochie !) He says he feels he isn't as fit as he wants to be so can't see him starting ! Link below:

A good team picks itself. If we can get a run of results the team will stay virtually the same, injury permitting
