Dumbarton 1 v Hibs 1

[Andy74]

Finally a game tomorrow. I'm going just to get away from the family. Anyone excited about some early football? Should see Craig and Tudor Jones per the Evening News. Not sure if their contracts officially start yet but maybe they are trialsists!?

[IanM]

Who's all going tomorrow?

Think i'll try get along, forgetting how far Dumbarton is away, well i thought it was this side of the weej..

Just text the gf and asked her whats she's doing tomorrow, see if she fancies driving.. :foot:
Chivas Suite: With no lunch packages tomorrow, the Chivas Suite will be open to Hibs fans to enjoy a pre-match drink, with gates opening at 1.15pm. All welcome.

You can get the Helensburgh train direct from WavereleyHaymarket to Dumbarton East. Less regular than changing but saves a change. It might be the one you get on queen st too as it goes through queen st lower where you'll have to go anyway.

Think I'm going but trying to decide between driving at the train (unless someone's running a bus).

We'd originally planned a pit stop in Glasgow for a few pints but might just go straight to Dumbarton and have a refreshment there.

Might work going back. Train at 5.25ish and 5.55ish straight back. Would give time for a quick post match drink potentially.

Aye, just spotted that myself. Giving it some thought! Only a 0.5 mile walk to the ground as well.

The direct trains take 2hrs. Get a train to qst and then go downstairs to the low level for the Dumbarton train.

I would be wary about getting that train as looking at the timetable the train that stops at Dumbarton takes almost 2 hours to get there, it stops at all the stops between Edinburgh and Queen Street. I would get the quicker train, few beers Weeg then get on the train from there takes approx 30 mins from Glasgow. Totally up to you but would check the timetables on scotrail site

Definitely get the train from Waverley to queen st station. They are every 15 minutes and the journey takes around 50 minutes. Then you can get the train from qst low level (this is the direct train from Edinburgh that takes 2hours) up to Dumbarton. Gives you plenty time for a pint in Glasgow and it saves you time on your journey. Also spilt the tickets buy a return to qst and then a return from qst to Dumbarton. Saves you a fiver.

Also please note that you can get a group save ticket between Edinburgh and queen st. Groups of 3, 4 and 5 can get these tickets. Also saves you dough. You can buy all these tickets on the day at the ticket hall. Please beware if you are booking online as some sites charge you booking fees which actually makes it more expensive that if you bought it at the ticket office.

I'm just looking forward to the match updates on Hibs.net, if the Confederations cup hadn't been on recently I don't think I'd have survived the last few weeks without any football. Really excited about tomorrow. :thumbsup:

Yes remember that game well even though it must have been about 28 years ago. I came through on the train from Stirling and got lots of abuse from knuckle dragging huns who thought I was a tic fan going to a reserve game. Cue lots of f....n b.....d comments etc.

Something along the lines of will there be any Hibs players on the park that haven't played for the club before.

They're a Div One team that finished strongly last season. And it's the first friendly of the pre-season, and we have no idea who'll be playing for either team.

Hibs are 11/10 to be winning at half time on Bet365. seems a decent price to me.

[David_D]

Pretty sure Craig and Tudor -jones are both contracted untill end of June aswell. Maybe mcgivern just not been selected.

Is Liam O'Brien in the dugout?

Murray has more or less said the game was too early for them, but, took it to do us a favour. I think your dough will be safe.

Decent run out.

Created a few decent chances and played some ok stuff. Craig looked decent and Stanton looked lively for the few minutes he got.

We lacked a cutting edge up front but that's hardly breaking news.

We should never have got rid of Liam O'Brien, the clubs been an absolute shambles since he left.

I blame Ian Westwater personally.

We've never recovered from his spell as goalkeeping coach.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

This game would've helped Pat realise where we're most vulnerable and where he needs to bring in new players (strikers). Good to see Cairney and the young lads get a run out.

[SaulGoodman]

New signings don't seem to make much of an impact, unless we sign a really good striker this is going to be a poor poor season.

Craig missed too many chances, Harris looks like he's lost it, typical :rolleyes:

[Dobosz83]

These games are all about fitness and assessment for Fenlon and that in part has been achieved today. It was nice to see so many young lads playing but it won't be enough going forward.

We are currently 7 short of a first team squad based on last seasons numbers and there will be no signings announced this weekend. That squad today is what will fly out to Spain on Monday for the start of camp. It's thin to say the least.

Slightly concerned, but not bed wetting.... yet! :wink:

I forgot about Mullen right enough. I reckon we need another 4 in the squad. 2 Up top, someone wide right and another in centre midfield. Hopefully there are deals about done and it's about dotting the i's and crossing the t's so to speak.

On a serious note, how did Cairney get on today? Getting back to his best I hope :agree:

Only got the 1st 45 mins, was taken of leg at ht and replaced by Caldwell. Played in the 1st half through the middle, rather than wide

[NOLA]

both goals were as sloppy as Foulks pishy breeks

[FranckSuzy]

**** it, I am going to go to watch Milton Keynes Dons after that shambles.

I'm not going to as well :agree:

[davieh]

impressed by harris, stanton, forster.... cairney less so,

[Andy74]

impressed by harris, stanton, forster.... cairney less so,

Cairney looked slim but wasn't great. Liam Craig is going to be a great signing I think. Best on the pitch today. I think Forster struggled a bit so good to see McPake back.

[SteveHFC]

How did Donaldson and Jones play?

[hibby67]

Unbeaten this season

[LeighLoyal]

It does highlight the imperative of signing at least two strikers asap. Fenlon, get on the phone to Derek and he'll text his mate Garry. :wink:

[Big Ed]

Am I the only one who thought Danny Handling played well today?

[Billy Whizz]

Am I the only one who thought Danny Handling played well today?

Thought he worked hard in the 1st half, but played far better in the 2nd, when he had Caldwell up top, and came short looking to play around the penalty box. I think Danny's going to be a very good player for Hibs

[Onceinawhile]

It does highlight the imperative of signing at least two strikers asap. Fenlon, get on the phone to Derek and he'll text his mate Garry. :wink:

Nah, he's already said Garry doesn't text him back.

Who played right back in the first half? Forster or Donaldson and how did they do??

[Billy Whizz]

Nah, he's already said Garry doesn't text him back.

Who played right back in the first half? Forster or Donaldson and how did they do??

Donaldson played the whole game at right back. Tried to get forward early on. 1st appearance for Hibs, far too early to be making judgements on him

[theonlywayisup]

Am I the only one who thought Danny Handling played well today?

No, thought he played well too.

Craig will be a key player for us. OTJ played ok. Thought the youngsters were ok.

Much much better than the Livingston pre season match.

Stevenson is not a fullback. Also thought Donaldson was caught out a few times, but played well for most.

Food was about a pound cheaper than Easter Road.

PS anyone go via Kilsyth and Bearsden? Got lost twice in Bearsden!!!

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

It would be good to have Thomson &/or Claros re-sign.

Doubt we will see anyone sign tomorrow so its a bit of a shame there weren't strikers signed to accompany the team.

Glad Craig played well, looks promising. Delighted to see Cairney back, i think he can be a player but this pre-season will make or break him.

[theonlywayisup]

Did anyone notice Jonahan Johansson in the stand? I assume he must have ties with Malmo.

[Billy Whizz]

Did anyone notice Jonahan Johansson in the stand? I assume he must have ties with Malmo.

He's a coach now at Motherwell. Read something the other day, that Motherwell would be watching some of our preseason games, as they are our 1st SPL opponents

[--------]

Did anyone notice Jonahan Johansson in the stand? I assume he must have ties with Malmo.

He played for them 2006-2008 alongside Jari Litmanen.

His wife's Scottish, so he still has ties in this country. Maybe PF's thinking of signing him ....

[hibsboy90]

Difficult to judge on preseason fixtures, but likewise preseason is more about becoming match sharp. Difficult at times to get some of the passing slick as the pitch was VERY slow.

First half we played Handling up top alone, i guess it was meant to be a 4-3-3, and he kept coming short for the ball so nothing worked. Second half Caldwell played a 442 with Handling and those two looked very clever. It's clear they know each others game's very well, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the combination.

Harris was lively, Craig looked up for it and OTJ is huge (seriously the tallest man on the park) as well as playing some nice crossfield balls.

Forste and Hanlon strolled through, looked shakier once Mcpake came on. Donaldson I was disappointed with (having seen him play u20s).

Ally McCoist was there too.

[Big Ed]

That fits: he was with Kenny Black.

Get Litmanen in! He was fantastic in FIFA '97.

And available according to Wiki:


Jari Olavi Litmanen (born 20 February 1971 in Lahti) is a Finnish footballer who is currently a free agent.

That sounds promising.

If we can get the attacking midfield sorted and linking well then the future might be very bright. Might take a season or two for it all to really click though.

PF did not give much away there. Sounds like we are after only 1 striker. We need at least 2. Caldwell and Handling will struggle as the main strikers for the whole season.
