Thommo and Horribine in the middle, Haynes out right, Stanton out left, Heffernan and Collins up front.

Andy Black right back, Ryan Baptie left back, Jordon Forster and Ryan McGivern centre halves.

Will never ever happen in a month of Sundays but it needs something drastic to inspire this shower.

Stevenson and Harris defo need dropped. Only two wide players who cant pass or cross. Harris needs a rest and time to find his form in the under 20s.

If Paul Heffernan and Kevin Thomson don't, at the very least, feature on the bench next week, they would be as well trying to explore another career path.

Riduculous how Heffernan & KT ain't been playing.

KT simply has not been available through injury & match fitness, this was clarified a few days ago.

I'm really into the mad notion of 2 strikers who can link up with each other and maybe score some goals. Who knows? Maybe this will be the game. :cb

100% serious. It can't be worse. The young lads deserve it. At least they won't be scared to pick a pass and have an effort at goal.

Drop 3 of the back 4 in one swoop? Who are you going to play there instead?

Horribine is a CM and he scored 2 the day, I wonder if he will get a shot?

Anyone else think Boetang isn't ready yet ?

Ok tough time to come into a game last night but looking at his distribution and marking of players (slow reaction for goal) - I am not sure if he's the answer.

We really don't have much competition for places in our back 4.

Don't get the KT fetish. All that will happen is that his neck will be damaged by watching the ball bounce over the stands and he'll back on the treatment table. Seriously, Butcher has decided that he doesn't fit his style of play so get rid.

I think it's glaringly obvious that we need to change the style of play - step up KT.

Don't think that will be far away although I don't think he will change the back four (I know they were poor on Friday) a bit more experience back in the team might help as we need a few more points to make sure we are not sucked in to the play off fight. We need to get behind the team even more to see us through this season.

With that team we have experience at the back in Maybury.

Haynes is quick so he can play wide right and give old man river a helping hand.

Cairney on left with Thomo and young Sam in the middle.

Heff and Collins up top.

I may trade Collins for Cummings though, thought he was a real bright spark for us!

I'd be making quite a few changes. Nelson, Craig, Harris definitely out. Taiwo is obviously suspended. I'd like McGivern out but I'm not sure who else we have to play there as Stevenson was poor in the few games he played at left back lately.

As I saw someone else say I'd get players in to the team that are more comfortable on the ball. Thomson in midfield with Stanton. Watmore in if fit. I'd maybe even think about playing Cairney on the other side at the expense of Stevenson just to mix it up a bit. I'd get Nelson out the team as we will never, ever be able to build anything in terms of possession when the ball is just blootered in whatever direction he's facing. And despite the fact he's most seem to think he's a decent defender we've been shipping some amount of goals at home lately. 3 against Raith, St Mirren and Utd. 4 against Celtic. Not all his fault but something needs to change and Hanlon has generally been better.

you drop nelson just when sutton is scoring goals big mistake .

The first of Nelson's many mistakes this season was in the first home game against Motherwell when he lost Anier and a simple ball over the top ended up resulting in the only goal in a 0-1 defeat. I was literally shocked at how slow he was that day and couldn't believe we'd signed him. You simply cannot have someone like that in a team at SPFL level if you want to succeed. I said as much on this forum straight after that game and several times subsequently. Forster was suspended for that game but ought to have been straight back in beside Hanlon as soon as he was available.

I dont think it matters what 11 we play, we will manage to accumulate enough points to keep ourselves out of the relegation places in my opinion.

It wont be pretty, it won't be exciting but we will stumble along to the end of the season doing pretty much as we have been doing so far.

yes your probably spot on , get a draw with motherwell and draw with st.johnstone to still keep top six alive but the hearts game will kill it off then we will stumble along the last few games . sounds pretty crap eh . still i will renew as believe in TB

I don't really know what you mean. Did I say in my post that bottom 6 was a success? If you read it again you may find that I implied exactly the opposite.

I want players at Hibs who are going to improve us and get us regular league finishes in the top three/four. I don't think Nelson is the type of player to help us get there - honest pro though he is.

You seem to be implying that, because we are in the bottom six, we should be signing the likes of Nelson because he's at that level too. Are you?
