[jimmyboco1875]

Franck Sauzee.

Franck Sauzee.

:agree:
It's time to protect our best players for the final. I still expect us to win on Sunday though. And we will.

[Steve20]

Griffiths should not play tomorrow.

[Pretty Boy]

Franck Sauzee.

Yep. Mentioned that the other day.

We need to start protecting key players. It's tha simple.

Noone is saying that.

Baring in mind that the only time we've beaten Hearts this season the winning goal was scored without Griffiths on the pitch. I want Hibs to beat Hearts without Griffiths and Harris. :greengrin

we need both them on the pitch tomorrow and hope fenlon is sensible and tries to win this for the hibs fans and doesnt disrespect the derby and what it would mean to us

TBH, I think that's how things will work out. They'll play. I just don't think they should.

They MUST play on the 26th.

There is an argument to back up playing the youngsters and leaving out the first team regulars. Our under 20's have a great record against Hearts over the last couple of seasons. Ross Caldwell has a point, take Webster out of the equations and the likes of him, Handling, Harris and the others have all played against the majority of the Hearts first team and have a consistent record of beating them

I personally prefer a mix of experience and youthful exuberance. As long as we match their desire and effort then we hopefully will have enough to get a good result.

Just wanted to mention this...

Man City rested all of their big players midweek so as to keep them fit for the final v Wigan.

8 changes made today, all the big guns back and their play was slow and disjointed.

I understand wanting to protect players, but there's a fine line between that and players being sharp.

Griffiths is fit. He's in good form. He'll want to play. I'd start him.

Certainly not what I said in my post.

[TAHibby]

Caldwell should start, seems to be right up for it. If we could beat them without Griffiths...

[Springbank]

Put it another way...

Hearts biggest game of the season is this 10th place decider (altogether now, wooooooooh!)

It's not even the biggest game of the week for us.

Don't give their cart horse defenders the chance to do damage. Rest the lot!

[Jim44]

A fit Griffiths is vital if we are to have any chance of beating Celtic. Beating Celtic is vastly more important than beating Hearts. I would give Griffiths a day off tomorrow and put him on the bench against Dundee. If he trains well over the next couple of weeks, he'll be fine for the final.

Keep him hungry... Final 20 the morn. A half against the Dee and he'll be as fresh as a daisy for the 26th.

That's the midweek prior to the final at Home V WBA.

I'd rather they played against Dundee than Hearts. I'm not saying they'll be out to deliberatly get Griffiths - I don't think that's how footballers operate - even Jambos - but just the general nature of the derby leaves players more prone to injury. There have been a few examples this season already of that. :agree:

[DH1875]

Rest them tomorrow and play the cup side against Dundee. Their relegated with nothing to play for, away from home in the last game of their season. We'll have 11 players gunning for a cup final spot and wanting to win. If we don't beat Dundee by at least 2 then I'll feel even worse about our chances in the Final. As for the yams, duck em. Imagine what it'll be like next season when they've been docked 18 points, are facing relegation with a team full of kids and we've won the Scottish cup. I can see past this game as their time will come.

[Brooster]

I think Jordan forster will make his debut.

[calumhibee1]

I hope we put out a full team and beat them.
