Queen of the South v Hibernian - pre-match thread

[Diclonius]

So, apparently we have a game or something tomorrow.

Predictions/line-us?

[Keith_M]

I predict we'll win 6-5


We'll be 5-3 down until the 80th minute, at which point Stubbs plays his masterstroke and replaces Heffernan with a Corner Flag, thereby swinging the whole game in our favour!

Only the second game of the season for me, looking forward to it. Got a terracing ticket so hope it doesn't lash it down.

[NthCarolinaHibs]

We are driving down tonight..Mon the Hibs

[silverhibee]

C'mon the Hibs.

[Billy Whizz]

Wonder if Malonga will start

[Hibeewilly]

Wonder if Malonga will start
He should start but did I not read somewhere that Stubbs doesnt think he is fit enough?

[.Sean.]

Can't wait :scarf::cheers::party:

[Bishop Hibee]

We need a win. Draws are not enough if we want promotion.

[Heisenberg]

Not got a good feeling about this. Need to be much better at the back if we are to get a win.

[Off the bar]

3-0 hibs 2 up by HT one soon after then close out the last half hour. easy. :greengrin

Just saying that earlier. It's more or less the same back four as last year apart from Gray. My case rests

[silverhibee]

Any weather updates for tomorrow and are you allowed in to the ground with a umbrella. :greengrin

[Ronniekirk]

The fact we are still integrating new players and it's an artificial pitch against a side capable of a top 4 finish and who have three players who have scored four goals or more this season shouts out score draw for me Gutted I am not going to this one Defo next time .

[Stuarty27]

Looking forward to it tomorrow, fancy us to get a result.

Anybody know how many tickets we shifted?

You on the train bud?

Young 'un has got rugby training in the morning so I'll be driving up. Will be back for the Dumbarton game regardless of tomorrow's result!

[GGTTH07]

Hibs to win in the 90th minute 2-1, Malonga

[Franck Stanton]

Was going for a 0-2 away win, however, have no confidence in Oxley from what he has shown so far, and as we haven't kept a clean sheet since he came will have to settle for a 1-2 away win.

[TAHibby]

Hoping we'll finally get a convincing win tomorrow with 0 goals conceded.

:agree:

[Baldy Foghorn]

Tough 3 games coming up. We need to start off well in all and not taper off, no more soft goals conceded......Stiff tests

[Pretty Boy]

Having to miss tomorrow. Gutted as it was a trip I was looking forward to.

[B.H.F.C]

This. A win is crucial tomorrow. Made a couple of points up last week, we need to build on that. We can't give up any more ground or we are going to be miles behind.

[SanFranHibs]

Hibs to win in the 90th minute 2-1, Malonga

I was with you until someone other than Super-Sub Cummings :greengrin

And maybe Heffernan to score the first? :dizzy:

[portycabbage]

While I don't disagree, that was statistically a top 6 defence last season!

[Pete]

We'll race into a two goal lead in the first half, followed by a decent second half where we actually play well.

0-2:cb

This is a decent side on an artificial pitch. We need a massive improvement to even get a point. We need to stop conceding soft goals and without a commanding centre half I can't see us doing that. I collected my tickets at 1 o'clock yesterday and we had sold 700 tickets but they are on sale this morning and at the ground till kick off.

[Keith_M]

Given our league position, we're surely the underdogs in this game.

I just hope we give a good account of ourselves.

And maybe pull off one of the greatest shocks of this season!!! :greengrin

Does not look too bad for this division. If they could only get a few games together I think this might turn into quite a potent unit.

And as has been pointed out if we get LG who could come off the bench when required along with Heffernan it would give us some much required backup. :wink:

But that won't be the unit he plays today so will need to see team Stubbs picks .its crucial we don't get another player injured on Artificial Pitch today .He has said Cummings will be sub but also Said Malonga isn't fully fit ,but you would think one of them has to start the game unless he is going to stick with Heff as Lone Striker and that so far hasn't worked out .

I agree with you and am not convinced this will be our starting midfield/forward line. But can we really afford to protect some players when we need goals and points and I think just as importantly will have to bring them on anyhow, probably chasing another game in the last 20/30 minutes, or even coming on to replace injured players like Heffernan who is just as likely to get injured as anyone else.

I would prefer he starts as above and then take some of them off for the last 20/30 minutes when hopefully we might actually be ahead. Or even for the first half.

Sorry for not thinking that Heffernan as the lone striker is going to be good enough! Would love to see him get a goal and if he did you never know what a boost it might be to him but how long has it been now?

But I will predict a 1-2 win for the Hibees.

Got to hope. :flag:

Tickets onsale on the day from their ticket office.

I assume it will still be premier league prices?

Of course not, my ticket was £16 for the seating area

I thought all the teams would bump up the price to cat A. I'm sure I paid well over £20 for Alloa. I might be talking complete sheet though :greengrin

I think Alloa was around £18 or so, but I've tried to wipe that day from my memory

[Brooster]

40 of us are about to roll up at the Lochside Tavern.

[HappyHibby93]

Could really do with a clean sheet today. I'll take 0-1. Although 3 points is all that matters. Malanga and Sinclair up top for me.

i see there's a Reilly scored a few goals for Q.os this season, hopefully this is one game we DON't gie the baw tae Reilly

[Wighty76]

A win and other results in our favour will see us jump to 4th if I'm not mistaken. I need to check the league.
