Despite being behind robertson in fitness terms. (Per tb in today's een) are we saving him for Sunday?

[Golden Bear]

I believe Jordan Forster is suspended for the Partick Thistle game so Mcpake might yet feature in the first team before the end of the season.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Few Hibees at east end as well as Maurice Malpas.

[rcarter1]

Good luck McPake and the rest of the Hibees!

[CallumLaidlaw]

1-0 hibs. Lewis Allen. Cairney played a 1-2 with euan smith on the wing. Cairney crossed and Allen headed in with the help of a deflection.

[dmc1875]

Surprise outing in the derby...?

[CallumLaidlaw]

Mcpake looks to be moving freely. He's doing lots of talking and helping his back 4 through the game. He made a late challenge just after our goal but he's bound to be a bit rusty

[CallumLaidlaw]

1-1. Free kick from 25 yards. Took about 3 deflections on the way in

[Billy Whizz]

1-1

[CallumLaidlaw]

2-1 hibs. Cracking Cairney corner, bullet header by Tom gardiner

Good run by Zoubir, that brought the corner

[Ronniekirk]

Good run by Zoubir, that brought the corner
Out of interest and in your opinion billy ,should Zoubir play against hearts instead of Harris ? who could then come on as impact player like he did in last derby

[CallumLaidlaw]

Half time. Fairly even. Thought the pars started to look the better side in the last 10 minutes but then we got the goal

[CallumLaidlaw]

Out of interest and in your opinion billy ,should Zoubir play against hearts instead of Harris ? who could then come on as impact player like he did in last derby

He's done ok, but dunno if he should start the derby. Cairney has looked livelier to me

[CallumLaidlaw]

2-2 within 2 minutes of the restart

[Golden Bear]

2-2 within 2 minutes of the restart

Ah well the philosophy is that it's good to lose an early goal as it takes the pressure of of not losing a goal.

Or something like that.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Jordan sinclair on for Ryan Baptie

[Ronniekirk]

Your thinking of first team ,the under 20s are made of sterner stuff .Plenty time to turn this around although no Cummings to score will be blow for them .

[Ronniekirk]

Jordan sinclair on for Ryan Baptie
Injured or has he done enough to be rested to play against hearts ..? Desperately looking for signs that he is going to try something different in this derby

[CallumLaidlaw]

Max Todd on for Zoubir

[CallumLaidlaw]

Wouldn't say he's done anything special in particular tonight. Black at right back looks decent. Cairneys set pieces have been very good and McPake has won everything in the air

[Craig_in_Prague]

3.2 down

[CallumLaidlaw]

3-2 to Dunfermline

[Hamish]

Celtic currently 2 up v Falkirk

The Rangers v Killie currently 1-1

McPake could just be what we need as he would be playing for new contract .But one game preparation for derby may be asking too Mutch too soon .do we look like winning as these recent draws are scuppering chances of winning league

[Craig_in_Prague]

3.3

[CallumLaidlaw]

Mcpake just made it 3-3

[Mr White]

Mcpake just made it 3-3

Stick him up front on sunday :thumbsup:

[SouthamptonHibs]

Come on the Hibees

[CallumLaidlaw]

Allen just missed a chance from about 8 yards

[HibbyKeith]

Celtic 2-0 up

[CallumLaidlaw]

Handling off for Gareth mccaffrey

[Ronniekirk]

Come on the Hibees
This is more exciting than going to watch the first team

[Hermit Crab]

Forgot about about this game being on. Could have nipped up.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Full time. 3-3

[SouthamptonHibs]

This is more exciting than going to watch the first team

I think im a jinx they wete 2-1 up when I logged on now 3-3. Mind you im enjoying the coverage through the.net as we have a chance of a goal hail hail

[Hamish]

Thanks for the updates Callum. Cairney and McPake in with a shout for Sunday do you reckon?

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

can we read into robertson not playing, watmore not involved, mcpake starting?

[oconnors_strip]

Baptie took a knock early in the first half so I don't think it's anything to do with Sundays team.

Spoke to butcher tonight, hoping to see a few of the youngsters in squad in next 4 games as they have more passion

[hibseleven]

What's the young lad Gardiner like? Potential first teamer?

[Green Fish]

Thought he looked the most composed player on the park

[CallumLaidlaw]

I don't see why not. Mcpake can't be any worse than what we've been watching recently. He looked a lot more free moving than before his injury.
As I said earlier, all if cairneys set pieces caused problems.

I still think Zoubir should be in the 18 for Sunday

[Billy Whizz]

My dad gave him man of the match

[hibseleven]

My dad gave him man of the match

good stuff. We got him from Spurs IIRC?

[weonlywon6-2]

Can you describe these goal things you talk about to me ??

[GreenCastle]

Surely with 4 first team players starting we should be beating the pars?

[Scouse Hibee]

Surely with 4 first team players starting we should be beating the pars?

Why? We can't beat anyone with 11 first team players starting.

[bighairyfaeleith]

Think he meant with only four first team players starting

I was sitting in the 2nd half beside a friend tonight , a Pars fan. He said that 80% of their team tonight was their normal 1st team.
Got a really good right back, Williamson

Only 17 year old and looks a good wee player

[oconnors_strip]

shouldnt just presume we would beat a very good dunfermline side which was mostly their first team. they have impressed me in both games this season

[SMAXXA]

How did Euan Smith play Billy?

Fair enough - which players played 1st team for them?

[CallumLaidlaw]

Geeze your a mine of information .is that Craig Dargo rings. Bell but the one I am thinking of must be well into his thirties .

Yeah it's that craig Dargo who is in his thirties, had not to bad a game.

[Ronniekirk]

And a Hibby to boot .

[Billy]

Fair enough - which players played 1st team for them?

9 of their starting 11 has appeared for their first team this season.

Goodfellow, Williamson, Martin, Young, O'Kane, Spence, Smith, Byrne & Dargo have 135 appearances between them either starting or coming on as a substitute.

Only Mercer and Graham from their starting 11 have yet to make an appearance this season.

5 of the staring 11 also made 78 appearances last season between them.

[GreenCastle]

Thanks for the info guys. They are playing 2 divisions below but we have seen this season the gap isn't as wide as it used to be in Scotland.

Let's hope Malpas was watching some of their players and noted any potential.

[Billy Whizz]

How did Euan Smith play Billy?

In and out the game. Does some good things, then seems to disappear for a bit

So he is magic then.
