Don't think you'll be a million miles off with that selection.

No real argument against that team.

Only negative comment would be Stanton needs to do more or he could be facing a spell on the bench.

I think Kennedy will start in Stanton's place with Harris on the right. Sammy hasn't offered much in the two games so far.

Is Scott Alan nowhere near yet, i thought he'd be in with a shout if he's near fitness?

Did he not come on against Rangers?

Just thought a player of his calibre would be a starter?

Because of the game and being away from home I'd have Booth at LB and Lewis at LM. Stanton on bench.

I see where your coming from but I would stick with the same back 4 and bring handling back in for Heff and I would also drop Stanton for Allan or Kennedy.

Stanton will probably start I'd imagine. His general play is good, seems to fluff his lines with the final ball sometimes though. Would like to see what Kennedy is capable off aswell though.

Really need to get the left back position sorted out, Stevenson is no left back.

I'd swap Stanton for Craig maybe.

Leave Craig where he is alongside Robertson. The back 4 will be the same so it's a case of who player in the 4 places up top.

Harris Handling Allan or Kennedy

Farid


Unless Stubbs has seen something in Heff but can't see it.

Maybe even Cummings for Heff. But really think Handling will come back into the team.

Take arguably our best player so far , and move him out of position to accommodate Stanton - you sure ?

I thought the same but I think he's looked pretty steady against the rangers and Livingston.

I'd go with...

Oxley

Gray
Forster
Hanlon
Stevenson

Craig
Robertson

Harris
Handling or Allan
Kennedy

El algooly

Sounds like their full backs are their to be got at So I don't want Stanton or Allan out there.

Stevenson has barely put a foot wrong in preseason or in our competitive games ...but feel free to bring out the generic "opinion"

Same team that started against livi and hopefully the same first half performance in both halves tomorrow

Regardless of who plays I'm a bit concerned with the lack of height in the team. Hearts have the better of us in that regard so I'd be telling them to avoid giving corners away at all costs.

Maybe this might be the season the Standard Stevenson Slaverers finally see the guy hardly ever puts a foot wrong.. Tries harder than any other wage thief we've had and one of the few players who cares as much as we do...

Doubt it :rolleyes:

Imo he was partly at fault for the rangers goal. He's decent cover but definately not a left back.

I would say Stanton and very poor keeping contributed more to losing the goal than Lewis.

I honestly think some don't really watch his contributions ... They've already made up their minds

Stevenson had a good game at Ibrox . Was by no means at fault for the goal (Stanton lost his man , keeper let it go
Under his body ) and was strong again last week

I will need to look at it again, I was sure he deserted his post to come inside.

Deserted his post now that made me laugh. Yeah he was pulled inside but nope not gonnae get into this again.

I'll agree to disagree on this.

Totally agree. Lewis is the original professionals professional who is appreciated by his fellow teammates and numerous different Hibernian Managers but sadly not by a few experts on Hibs Net.

I've never really bought into thus argument, ah but he gives everything every week, ultimate professional bla bla bla. That should be the minimum we can expect from a player.

I defended him on thus thread as I think he's done alright at left back this season but I stand by my previous years criticism that when he played in midfield he hasn't contributed enough, other than effort.

Anyway, we're getting away from the point but I just get annoyed at the suggestion that anybody that ever dares criticise him it's because there's some agenda against him. There's not.

A lot of his criticism comes on the back of over the top praise in games when he's been bang average.

But aye, I'd play him at left back tomorrow.

Pulled inside to cover someone who was already covered IMO. But I'm no gonna argue either.

I thought so too but the way Sam Stanton has been playing maybe he can be excused I'd start with Scott Allen in place of Stanton but I haven't seen much of the former so what would I know.

Stevenson could well play every game this season - at LB - and still many people will say he's not a good LB and we should play Booth. Every game this season he's been one of our better players. But wait and see what happens on here if he dare make one single mistake!

Underscore spot on. I hope he does play every week tbh.

It would seem he's a better natural left back than booth in Stubbs eyes. But I'm also sure Stevenson has said its not his best position.

People would say he was tremendous, fantastic etc and anybody that dared to disagree would be accused of having an agenda against him.
