I would go with this

[danhibees1875]

Thomson is suspended, no?


Williams
Stevenson Neilson Hanlon McG
Handling Robertson Taiwo Craig
Collins Caldwell

:hnet:

[spike220]

Williams
Stevenson Neilson Hanlon McG

:hnet:

Robertson & Craig are doubtful. I would go for: (with Vine to come on later depending on what happening)

It's funny because it's true!

[jon paul jones]

Williams

Stevenson Neilson Hanlon McGivern

Handling Robertson Craig Taiwo

Collins Caldwell

1)
This is my team. I'd move Craig inside close to Robertson depending on how their suspected injuries affect Pats choice. Got to get him into the 10 yards outside the penalty box to run onto lay offs or lay the passes to Collins
2)
Since its not working, I would go for a game plan of Taiwo and McGivern swapping roles when we have the ball and letting McGivern thunder down the wing and hit the by line. Taiwo plays a holding role on the left wing and MANS up against Killie wingers.

Different - Yes,

Better than the pish tactics ive seen so far this season....... who knows???? Until PF changes something no-one will know.

Williams

Robertson Taiwo OTJ
Handling Collins Craig

Dont think that team works, but its the best I could come up with.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Folks that say Pat has got a very good squad together, can you explain then - why picking the team is actually really depressing?

[Brightside]

The team will be

Williams
Lewis Nelson Hanlon McGivern

Tawio Robertson

Handling Craig Vine

Collins

I'm told this has been written on a board in East mains.

[SeanWilson]

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

:thumbsup: that is quite literally the white board in the changing room eh!!

[LioNeilMessi]

Williams
Stevenson Forster Hanlon Mcgivern
Handling Robertson Craig Stanton
Caldwell Collins

I would also use Dean Horribine as sub to come on, he's got a bit of pace at least.

[Billy Whizz]

Robertson & Craig are doubtful. I would go for: (with Vine to come on later depending on what happening)

Where have you read that Robertson and Craig are doubtful?

Thats brilliant, though Collins could be pushed up a bit. :greengrin

[silverhibee]

I think the red card should come in the first 10 minutes of the game, who takes one for the team tomorrow, i will go for Nelson.

[Billy Whizz]

Thanks, if either of these 2 are missing, I would expect Tudor-Jones to come into the team

[PeterboroHibee]

Robertson & Craig are doubtful. I would go for: (with Vine to come on later depending on what happening)

------------Williams
Stevenson---------Neilson--------Hanlon------------McG

I didnt notice those two are struggling. If neither of them make it I reckon that will be the team but with Vine for Caldwell (in a 433), he seems to be out of the picture now for some reason.

[Diclonius]

I'd go with something along the lines of that hilarious mock up formation picture posted a few years ago under Mixu with us playing 8 forwards with Hogg and Jones in central defence screaming "GET BACK!" :greengrin

[Leith Green]

Would give stanton and handling a shot to be honest

[IanM]

Centre stage for OTJ since KT, LC & SR are out.. time to step up to the mark big man and try keep your place and keep these lot out the team..

hasn't clicked for him so far but i'll be expecting a lot from him on Saturday

Ps.. it's been a while since I've been to Killie, what's the boozer hibs fans usually jump into? is it the one near the asda?

[soproni1]

for me it would be

Williams

Stevenson
Nelson
Hanlon
McGivern

Tudor-Jones

Handling
Robertson/Taiwo if not fit
Craig/Stanton if not fit
Vine

Collins

Need to get the 4 in bold further up the pitch and cause them some problems with the ball

[TAHibby]

Surely Caldwell is due a start, I'd put Vine on the bench, see how Ross gets on. Stevenson has managed to convince he can cut it at the other side of the pitch so would go with that again.

Stevenson
Nelson
Hanlon
Mcgivern

Taiwo
Robertson
Craig

Handling
Collins
Caldwell

Probably more a case of 2 up top rather than 4-3-3 though.

[The Sea-gull]

Folks that say Pat has got a very good squad together, can you explain then - why picking the team is actually really depressing?

I sort of see where you are coming from but save a couple of new signings in a couple of positions I think he has put a decent squad together. Thanks for that Pat, now why not move aside and let someone with a bit of tactical nouse have a go at putting them into a decent formation.

Anyway, team for tomorrow, lets try and attack:-

Williams

Maybury - Nelson - Hanlon - McGivern

Robertson - Taiwo - Craig

Vine - Collins - Handling

But I think Pat will go with:-

Williams

Stevenson - Nelson - Hanlon - McGivern

Vine - Robertson - Taiwo - Craig - Handling

Collins

[Hibercelona]

As a 1 man minority, I still stick by this formation. :wink:

[AlbertK86]

If Craig and Robertson injured I would go


Williams

Maybury
Forster
Nelson
McGivern

Handling
OTJ
Taiwo
Stanton

Collins
Caldwell

Subs

Murdoch
Mullen
Stevenson
Hanlon
Horribine
Vine
Mulhall

I think Forster should be in as he always tries to pick a pass from the back and is a far better defender than Hanlon.... Attacks the ball better, reads the game better, passes better, is more physical in the challenge and is faster.

Maybury in for Mullen as more experience needed there. Him and Nelson either side of Foster will help him along. Mullen been ripped and caught out with balls over his head in nearly every game he has played.

If Pat insists on keeping Hanlon with Nelson at CH I would put Forster ahead of Maybury at RB


What I think Pat will go with

Williams

Stevenson
Nelson
Hanlon
McGivern

Taiwo
OTJ

Stanton
Handling
Vine

Collins

Whatever happens lets hope we can get that first elusive win of the season

[Heedersnvolleys]

Folks that say Pat has got a very good squad together, can you explain then - why picking the team is actually really depressing?

Not so much depressing just find it really difficult with so many similar players, it is like there has been no thought put in on recruitment, more like he is available we will get him and worry about where we play him later :confused:

Pat knows how to make things awkward for himself.

A foot note to that because we have so many similar players that makes us more predictable and are unable to play differently or if we go behind. I like TT but when he has came on as sub the last 2 games he's is not going to make any significant difference on how the team plays all we really done was play the same way but had someone fresh on who ran about a bit more!!!!

[FromTheCapital]

Williams - Forster, Nelson, Hanlon, McGivern - Handling, Tudur-Jones, Taiwo, Vine - Caldwell, Collins. :agree:

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Potentially Thomson, Craig and Robertson all missing tomor. Add that to Harris and Cairney and were 5 starting midfielders down after only 3 league games. Quite incredible. Sums up our season thus far

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Maybe Pat seen this day coming and that's why we have about 12 midfielders?!

[Paisley Hibby]

I think without Thomson our midfield will play with much more movement and creativity than we have seen recently. In fact, I feel we have gone backwards since he joined us in the Spring. We looked the best we have for ages after he got himself sent off last week. I'm not having a go at him, I just don't think he fits with what we need.

[Diclonius]

This one seems to have passed me by, only just found out now - Jesus Christ, how unlucky are we going to be this season with injuries and suspensions? :boo hoo:

[Jones28]

Both of them?! Ffs...midfield of handling, Taiwo, Tudor jones and Stevenson on the left?

[vercol36]

Both of them?! Ffs...midfield of handling, Taiwo, Tudor jones and Stevenson on the left?





:paranoid:

[Billychaotic182]

Stanton - Taiwo - OTJ - Horribine

Or

Vine - Taiwo - OTJ - Stanton

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

is this confirmed?
