I've never started one of these before and it's not as if we can get any worse so what the hell!

Time to turn our fortunes around today against a weakened Dundee United side and get some points on the board.

What's the weather like in Edinburgh (I await a 'bollah forecast :greengrin).

Any early team news?

Seemed to big up Stanton in his pre match interview. Of the managers many failings blooding the laddies isn't one of them. Wonder if he may start young Sam ?

There'll be a restless atmosphere at ER today which could quickly turn to hostility if things go badly. Surely it's Pat's very last chance to salvage his tenure. I just don't know what to expect. Somehow we must find a way to open a team up and create some chances.

You're making out as if I've suggested putting Fenlon up front?
Vine showed nothing against hearts, I wouldn't exactly be rushing to put him in the side ahead of handling.
And as for Collins, yes Fenlon will never drop him, but I think Caldwell has the chance to be a top player, so I'd like to see him play.
I also don't see the point in playing Robertson out wide for the sake of it. I wouldn't start him in the middle, so I'm not going to chuck him out wide (like Fenlon did against hearts where he wasn't effective at all).

As I said, Fenlons team will be completely different but that's the sort of line up is like to see, youth and creativity.

I really don't understand this attitude 'no matter what happens I want Fenlon out'. Although it probably won't happen wouldn't you rather see him turn things round and succeed than see the man out of a job and us as a club having to 're-build' again? Before I get accused of being a Fenlon supporter, I'm not anymore and do feel it is time for change but whilst he is in charge of the club I will support him to the hilt and hope he manages to turn things around. The abuse on here directed towards a man that is doing his best and only wants the best for us is unwarranted and quite frankly embarrassing. (Not directed at you in particular)

I have a hunch he'll start with Handling. He played well for the under 20's in Tuesday, and was taken off after 60 mins, probably to protect him for today.
Hope he plays in the "hole", his best position

The post-split games whilst all good were as a direct result of the second half of the Falkirk game IMHO. Since this season started, Fenlon's wrapped himself in the comfort blanket of hoofball, ten men in defence and passing sideways and back.

It's truly brain-numbing.

Sorry but disagree re Vine... Yes he was poor last week but Handling is a long way off from starting everyweek . Still a long way to go but Caldwell deserves his chance. As for Robertson he shouldn't be dropped IMHO as he was ok last week and tried to get forward.

Collins and Caldwell up front for me.

Don't want to be harsh but I think Handling is a long way off first-team football at all. I really don't see the hype around him at all. IMO he has never came on and made a difference to a game. Caldwell has been given far less chances but always looks likely to cause problems. Agree completely with the rest of your comment.

Agree with bit in bold. I just cannae see why people rate him. He is definitely not ready for the first team. Just my opinion and would love to be proved wrong, however, from what I have seen so far, won't hold my breath.

No McGivern in the starting line up. Find that puzzling. Still, no point moaning about it just now, just need to get behind whoever is wearing the green and leave the discussion (and no doubt recriminations) until later...

He can hit a dead ball though. If only fitbaw had a 'special team' like the American version

I thought he done OK against Hearts to be fair....different kettle o fish if GMS takes up that flank though

Totally agree on McGivern, no idea why he isnt starting

My view is that he has remained fairly solid defensively but his distribution let him down badly at Tynecastle. We need that if we are going to start being more creative. Just voicing an opinion not having a go at anyone. Would you like to try that? :-)

Yip another dreadful decision from Fenlon, what is amazing about the decision is there is no decision to make. Mullen is an awful player, nowhere near good enough yet for 11st team football, and may never be good enough. Forster or Maybury at right back, its a simple decision, play the best player available.

And play McGivern at left back every day of the week, and twice on a Saturday before Stevenson.

There's other valid things to bash Collins with, but tactics aren't one of them. He was never slow to change tactics or personnel no matter the minutes on the clock if it wasn't working.

He had Stevenson at right back for both Malmo games!! The boy is about as much use as Anne Franks drum kit..... I do not know how any supporter of the club can defend him, he is s**t. Anyone that knows anything about Football could see how negative he is. Sick of hearing people saying he is a trier. Give me a strip and a pair of boots and i'll try hard too. The boy is a bombscare of a football player.

As for Fenlon, I am totally and utterly scunnered by how completely tactically inept the guy is. No left midfielder, no right midfielder, no pace, no creativity no NOTHING!!! The guy is an imposter, a complete fraudster. No one can be critical of our attack just now as the midfield sit that far off them.

Just to confirm that is over 500 competitive minutes since our fans have stood to celebrate a goal. 500 F*****G minutes. The last goal we scored in all games was against Nottingham Forrest in Portugal.

Never mind the Lewis Stevenson bashing i cant honestly fathom out how Rowan Vine once commanded a transfer fee of 3 million pounds, thats a complete head****. hellen keller would do a better job up front than him.

It raises the question though.

Would Vine look anywhere near as poor at any other SPL club?

I don't think he would.

The forward line can't be questioned until the team start creating chances for them. That's when they can be judged.....

I have a season ticket, but did not bother going - sounds like a good decision on my part.

Part of me misses going to the game, it's my Saturdday ritual with my mates. Three out of seven of our crowd (all ST holders) did not go today. However, I now get too frustrated watching this drivel. Last Sunday was the final straw for me. I won't be back until changes are made.

What is the crowd? (maybe someone else mentioned it, but I can't be bothered going through all the posts)

Thing is, he looked decent against us once i can remember last season. But then again so did Liam Craig.

I genuinley cant make my mind up cos this hibs team seem completely bereft of any footballing ability, and fenlon doesnt seem to know what he's doing he really doesnt.

He had Stevenson at right back for both Malmo games!! The boy is about as much use as Anne Franks drum kit..... I do not know how any supporter of the club can defend him, he is s**t. Anyone that knows anything about Football could see how negative he is. Sick of hearing people saying he is a trier. Give me a strip and a pair of boots and i'll try hard too. The boy is a bombscare of a football player.

As for Fenlon, I am totally and utterly scunnered by how completely tactically inept the guy is. No left midfielder, no right midfielder, no pace, no creativity no NOTHING!!! The guy is an imposter, a complete fraudster. No one can be critical of our attack just now as the midfield sit that far off them.

Just to confirm that is over 500 competitive minutes since our fans have stood to celebrate a goal. 500 F*****G minutes. The last goal we scored in all games was against Nottingham Forrest in Portugal.

****** off Fenlon and Petrie you can good and take a good old ****** to yourself too.

:grr:

Totally agree. This trier fish does my heid in.

Graeme miller, Grieg miller, chris Jackson etc etc etc all triers all absolute unadulterated single fish.

Get pat out. Get Stevenson out.

Another goal from a hit over the top...... schoolboy stuff, has Rowan Vine managed yet to control a pass or found another Hibs player. Also how come Liam Craig went from being a great SPLFL player to being this gash we see in front of us...... its now time Mr Fenlon to motivate your team and lets see Hibernian FC play some football rather than this hit and hope.

Liam Craig's always been rubbish, sick of reading he's just turned crap! Getting rid of a talented young player like Spoony and replacing him with a headless chicken like Craig sums up Fenlon....Numpty!

He's really not. He's an attacking central mid played out of position with seemingly a lack of instruction.

Stuck in London otherwise I'd have been at game supporting my club.

Not easy though - sounds like another piiss poor performance. Dire. How can so many players be off form/clueless at the same time? What is Pat getting the team to do on the training ground? What's the tactics? It's just not working.

And it sounds like no Hibs player is showing any type of leadership on the park. Our captain's stuck in his box and nobody out there is trying to organise the team, kick ***** or encourage. That's unforgivable.

Having said that I'm not into all the personal bitterness spewing out from some keyboard warriors on this site though. No matter how frustrating this is - no excuse for that bile! Some folk need to get a life!!

Why would you not!! The boys utter p**h......

Offers nothing going forward playing in midfield and nothing at the back when playing in defence.....

Ill tell you what Craig, Vine and others deserve more criticism than Lewis but Heay jump in the bandwagon. Im not saying the boys a world beater but yet again put in the firing line by his clueless msnsger.

Fell free to continually blame Lewis for us being pish but at least he tries and cares.

Why did he play Mullen and not Maybury or Forster. Then after 30 subs him.

Same as last week blame Lewis yet he did nowt wrong and it was McGivern at fault.

I don't know if you play or have played Football and if do have you tried playing on the total opposite side of the pitch playing with your opposite foot.

i think the closure of the transfer window is what we are waiting for. Sack him now, then a new guy will demand a couple of players in. Wait til Sep 3rd then whoever comes in will have to piss with the knob he has until January

Craig and Vine do not yet deserve criticism, they're trying to fit into a crisis hit team who are suffering from a lack of instruction or balance. They must be wondering what they've let themselves in for.

I aint jumping on any bandwagon as I have been saying this for 2 seasons now about him. He is not premier league standard full stop.

I have played football to a fairly decent standard and know how hard it can be playing out of position. The boy is murder, full stop. Tell me what his stregths are apart from being a trier??

I can't be critical of Rowan Vine yet as our midfield have created nothing for him. Liam Craig for me the jury is out, I won't deny that but he has had 8 weeks in comparison to Stevenson 150 odd matches.
