Starting Line Against Rangers

[Unseen work]

Stubbs has said he is very clear on the team to start, so what do we think? Peronsally i think it will be

Oxley

Gray Forster Hanlon Stevenson

Robertson Craig

Harris Handling Stanton

El Alagui

Subs - Combe, Nelson, S.Allan, L.Allan, Booth, Tudor-Jones, Heffernan

Its the most tried and tested and seems to be performing well and they all know their roles. Think allan will start on the bench as his fitness wont be just there yet

I would play Cummings Instead of El Alagui but Cummings is injured

Surprised if its anything else given its line up and formation that has had pre-season precedence.....

[Hibeesmad]

I think the team will be exactly that except Allan will play for Handling

i think allan will be a first name on the team sheet soon, but i think handling has been playing really well and doesnt deserve to get dropped because of allans reputation and he has only played about 90 mins of football so i think tuesday might be too soon for him, plus hes not played in that system with the first picks yet

Fair enough, I agree with what you have said, handling has looked really sharp in the last few games, I just thought Allan would be raring to go against Rangers to prove himself, he will no doubt get at least 30 mins anyway

IF Allan doesn't quite get fit enough it will be Handling.

and for me that team is better than anything in the league. :thumbsup:

and for me that team is better than anything in the league. :thumbsup:

maybe but it's not all about talent it's all about attitude as well, we need to create a wining mentality and not be shat on by the huns or the cheats if we can create that within the team then we might have 1/2 a chance.

Not enough firepower in the players available so I can see us losing on Tuesday.

I think the game is best viewed as another step up in preparation for the new season starting on Saturday.

Heff still not started a pre season game and Cummings is still couple of weeks away from starting training again, I wonder if some folk read this site and take in what's being reported and said.

We also won't be going 4-3-3 away to sevco. But that didn't stop me typing it either.

They have a habit of being slow starters but can't see them not scoring with Boyd and Miller up top and if they can find a place for Deano he is creative and a goal threat .Some gets fans said Templeton was looking fast and sharp preseason and don't know how Zaliukas is fitting in but he could be a good player for them .
Hope your feeling is right though then all we need to do is score one goal

[lord bunberry]

I would be surprised if Allan doesn't play. I'm not saying we should be taking this game lightly but getting Allan up to speed for the league campaign has to be the main prioririty.

No game we play I'n should be taken lightly. I also believe that the first 3/4 games Hibs will go out to win. AS will know a win against the newest team I'n Scotland will really boost confidence within the team and within the fans. If we get 3/4 wins under our belt it will boost fans I'n seats.

One thing I do feel we will excellent at this season is changing our formation when needed. GGTTH

GGTTH.

Might be something like this for a trip to Ibrox.
Bring in a forward for Nelson against other sides.

Off topic a bit but I see Moshni was sent off today for Rangers(violent conduct) . Would that kick in for their next game ?

Nope - no relevance to league / competitive matches

[Sas_The_Hibby]

I would play Cummings Instead of El Alagui but Cummings is injured

I would play Messi instead of Handling but Messi doesn't play for us....... :wink:

[tamig]

Lots of folk putting Stanton in at wide midfield. Sam's not a wide player and I don't think he influences games at all when he plays there.

Thing is we have Allan and now Handling playing in the hole behind the striker, Stanton prefers that role but as Allan and Handling are not blessed with pace, young Sam has to help out the team and play wide.

With all due respect, that particular line up has not been tried and tested where it matters - in the cut and thrust of the games that matter. I remain hopeful that such a line up will indeed perform "well"

[silverhibee]

I will be happy with a winning team on Tuesday night. :gwa:

[scoopyboy]

You sure about that?

You just can't go about getting sent off for violent conduct in any game and not get punished.

FWIW I reckon he will be suspended for the game on Tuesday.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Looking at those line ups Rangers must be absolutely *****ing themselves

[Ronniekirk]

And so they should be they are not invincible

Im not so sure. Scott Robinson got sent off in a hearts pre season game and now misses the first 3 matches through suspension including the game just played against Annan. Am I right?

Yeah I know what your saying but as of pre season and new manager it's probably our most recognisable starting 11

I forgot the quality of some players they have, like shiels and templeton. Completely forgot they played for them

[Billy Whizz]

One game ban for the sending off, and a 2 game ban carried over from last season I believe

[happiehibbie]

Alan in for Handling and booth in for Stevenson

[NAE NOOKIE]

I agree with this. We should go out looking to win, because to do so at The Rangers will be good for moral and confidence, but losing wont be the end of the world provided we play well in a close game.

The league is all that matters.

Seems it is down to the ref if he mentions it in his report after the game.

Even McCoist isn't to sure if he is available for Tuesday night, i hope he is. :greengrin
