Agreed, but with two games this week it'd be good to be able to rest Scott Allan and dom for a wee bit.

Strongest team possible ?

Strongest team possible ?

There or there abouts anyway.

Glad to see us taking it seriously.

[silverhibee]

Big game today, winners get a place in the semi final of the Scottish Cup and I'm pretty certain that Hibs name will be in the hat at the end of the day and a nice trip will be had for the ubber fans and the day trippers to Hampden, no offence to Berwick but they have been on a pretty poor run of late and i think our strikers will have a field day today and a clean sheet at the back would be nice as well.

Any team news out yet, is the young lad Forster back yet.

C'mon the Hibs.

Plucky Berwich, silky Hibs

The wee rangers aren't that bad, we would be beating their namesakes from Glasgow at this point

Looking awfy nervous here.

[Squealing pig]

Hibs playing well, fairly even game , strong winds playing havoc for keepers and crossed balls

An assist and a goal!

2-0 - Stevenson (Lewis, not Ryan you Sky Sports plum!).

Ryan Stevenson scores for Hibs. :rolleyes:

[Diclonius]

Pretty funny actually, there's about 30/40 of them and they appear to have deliberately purchased their tickets to get as close as possible to the East. Completely ignoring the game and singing nonstop to the Hibs fans. Bizarre.

Atmosphere not so good, was a bad move moving the ultras down to the front of the East.

[Onceinawhile]

Amateur hour on sky sports, suggesting Cummings scored the second, calling lewis, Ryan Stevenson and apparently only Paul Hanlon was here last time we played them (lewis was too).

[Lago]

2 up at HT. Bit of a scare on a couple of occasions in hibs box.

[silverhibee]

That was a quick 45 minutes

[KSA Hibee]

Watching it in them local boozer in Bahrain ... Commentator actually used the word rampant to describe our first half ???

[Dan Sarf]

Superb little flick from Malonga for Stevenson's goal

When's the draw?

Common sense would suggest it would be right after the Celtic game so as it's the SFA I'm guessing it will be about midnight on Thursday?

We're struggling to get a foot on the ball... Berwick pinging it around quite well.

[WillowbraeHibby]

Too many passes going astray.... Wee bit more focus required.

Scott Alan being a bit to casual with his passing at times.

Gray hits the post with a header.

Still look vulnerable to balls into the box.

Yeah should maybe give him a wee rest and bring on Danny:agree:

Lewis is a lucky boy there.

Wee kick out that he's lucky the ref and linesmen missed.

Sorry don't agree. I love watching him try things even if they don't always come off

Aye.. A wee bit sluggish he is at present.

[Pretty Boy]

Sorry don't agree. I love watching him try things even if they don't always come off

I'm not overly fussed about misplaced passes but his touch has let him down today and he's been dwelling on the ball a lot.

5-1 is on the cards.

Goal and an assist from Sam Stanton.

Fontaine is an absolute unit. Looked like he was celebrating with his child when he picked up Stanton in the celebration.

[high bee]

Stanton with a goal and an assist, has only been on the park 18 mins. Good to see him doing well.

Brilliant corner from Stanton and a beast of a header from well, a beast of a man ! Give us anyone in the Semi ! Cheers to the Jambo's who turned up today :greengrin

I think there was about 10 jambos at the front of the group near the East. They left during the second half when their dream of watching a club they went to see scoring in the Scottish cup for the first time in 3 years failed to materialise.

The rest were bizarre Berwick fans waving engerland flags in defiance at the end.

[BSEJVT]

That was my first game back since the play off defeat

Thoughts are

Oxley - did well, caught under a cross early on but reckon that was the wind

Gray - started slowly but came onto a game

Stevenson - Did really well, great ball for first and good finish

Hanlon - Strolled the game, looks a bit bulkier and a bit more composed

Fontaine - Really impressed

Allan - Was really looking forward to seeing him but he had an absolute mare

Robertson - Impressed by him and he was the player I hoped he was when he first signed

Fyvie - Another really good player, did well composed and solid

McGeouch - Best player on the pitch by a mile, really assured and composed

Cummings - Started poorly bu great finish and a bit more involved thereafter

Malonga - Excellent first touch but could do with doing things at a higher tempo

Overall impression

Won at a canter without getting out of second gear

Doesn't seem to be much pace in the team though?

Was surprised at lack of pressing or urgency?

Very much better than what I have seen for years though

Competent confident footballers

There's a bit of pace in the team, particularly with Dje Dje and Boyle.

I think the lack of pressing was slightly down to the number of games we have in the next week or so. No point in risking a needles injury, for no real reason.

Hopefully more people will be like yourself, start coming back. There has been good football on show, it's now on the fans to start turning up in real numbers and start to be the club we should be.

[Famous Fiver]

Two real ba*bags behind me in the East who were giving it tight to Cummings and Allan in equal measure. Relentless. Why didn't they join their friends in the Sex Offenders away day group instead of shouting at their own?

think you comments are fair. We are a very competent footballing team and I agree seem to win easily without moving up a gear- but then again when we have played the better teams - the rangers, hearts, Dundee Utd we have done pretty well too so perhaps we are quite a good team. Agree with you on pace and encouraging that you are tempted back......

3 of the goals scored by players who've come through our youth system. Plus the 4th laid on as well from the corner. Very pleasing.

Without being too precious, its talking about games and feeling part of it again that gets you back involved.

If the response to trying to do that is to be ridiculed for having an opinion then your are inclined to think what's the point?

I really enjoyed it, its good to see Hibs players prepared to take the ball in and on and try things and there is plenty of ability in this Hibs team.

They competed physically really well too as my recent memory of Hibs teams is of them being outmuscled / outfought far too easily.

Looking forward to the Livingston game.

[CropleyWasGod]

Anyone sitting near the guy who had JC as first goalscorer, and 4-0, on his coupon?

Was pretty funny for the last 10 minutes, hearing him begging us not to score. :greengrin

[Brightside]

Very professional today. Big plus points for Hanlon, Lewis, Dylan, Fyvie. Only minus was the display from Allan. Had Danny Handling put in that kind of performance there would be 5 pages of people ripping him to shreds.

[wookie70]

Very competent display. Won at a stroll with quite a few players playing below the standards they have set themselves this season. Oxley looked at bit shaky at points but I'll give him the benefit that the wind caused most of the issues. Some great performances though. Stevenson outstanding, Fontaine very impressive with Hanlon rock steady again. Gray came into the game later but he still looks like he is not quite there after his injury. Robertson and Fyvie both had good games but I thought McGeough and Allan were well below par. It didn't really happen for either of them. Dylan kept trying and plugging away but I would give Scott A a rest on Wednesday and make him realise he needs to maintain performance to be guaranteed a place in the team. Harsh but he hasn't been at his best recently. Malonga did ok when on the ball but wasn't as involved as he could have been. Cummings did what he is best at and is looking like he has learned to hold the ball up now. Still relatively quiet from Jason today. Sammy should get a mention as he really seems to make things happen when he comes on and looks hungry to get back into the starting 11.

I thought Stubbs got the subs right today too.

All in all a very professional and we must feel we have a great shot at the final after another good draw.

Very professional today. Big plus points for Hanlon, Lewis, Dylan, Fyvie. Only minus was the display from Allan. Had Danny Handling put in that kind of performance there would be 5 pages of people ripping him to shreds.

That's because players don't get judged on one game. If Allan has lots of bad games he'll get lots of 5 page threads slating him.

Anyone sitting near the guy who had JC as first goalscorer, and 4-0, on his coupon?

Was pretty funny for the last 10 minutes, hearing him begging us not to score. :greengrin

Was this in the east?

Agree about Allan, but thought McGeough was excellent

[NAE NOOKIE]

Thanks

Without being too precious, its talking about games and feeling part of it again that gets you back involved.

If the response to trying to do that is to be ridiculed for having an opinion then your are inclined to think what's the point?

I really enjoyed it, its good to see Hibs players prepared to take the ball in and on and try things and there is plenty of ability in this Hibs team.

They competed physically really well too as my recent memory of Hibs teams is of them being outmuscled / outfought far too easily.

Looking forward to the Livingston game.

I thought you summed it up pretty well too. Apart from Boyle ( If your are reading this G StP Bhoyle ) we do lack pace up front, but because we don't hoof it its not too much of a problem. We have another couple of gears mate, we just did enough today and unfortunately for you Allan had a real off day.

Fontaine was excellent as well

[J-C]

Been a busy day today, what with the game and family things to do, so here goes.

What a stroll that was today, never out of 2nd gear the whole game and looked more like a Premier team than a Championship one. Stevenson was MOM by a mile followed by Fontaine who was exceptional in the 2nd half. Thought Malonga looked his usual disinterested self at times but always capable of playing a final pass or nearly scoring himself, at times I feel the midfield over complicate things themselves, too much inter twining of players and positions, never too sure who's DM, AM etc. Allan dropped off in the 2nd half and looked really tired, maybe needs a wee break, remembering he's got diabetes issues. Thought Stanton looked a lot more assured and slipped into the pace of the game well and didn't look out of place but I'd like to see Djedje getting a run, as much as I like Malonga I this his pace adds something extra to the team.

[renato]

The thing is, even when Malonga is quiet he's such a vital player for us, his movement, touch and link up play is miles better than our other forwards and it's crucial to the way we play the game, keeping possession and bringing midfield and full back runners into play.

IMO we're a much poorer team when he doesn't play. What brilliant options we'll have up front too, when Farid's back.

[zlatan]

Disgusted by todays performance. Had Cummings fgs and 5-0 Hibs on :grr:

Steve will miss it. :greengrin

Handling would be getting ripped because he regularly puts in ineffective performances. Allan doesn't. That said, he was poor and I think a wee seat on the bench one week wouldn't do him any harm. He's the best player at the club by a mile for me but he could maybe do with a wee wake up call.

Don't see how Hanlon could be classed as a positive. I know you like him but a centre half defending as he should against Berwick is expected. Nothing more. And that isn't a criticism of him.

Stanton looked sharp. He's unfortunate that we have such a strong midfield.

[Swedish hibee]

We're 90mins away from Hampden. Let's get behind the team today.

3-0 Hibs:flag:

Your on a roll... Hope your starting the semi final thread :aok::not worth

I will be :agree:

Yeah. In the middle, near the back.

I had Cummings 4-1, was begging them to score :-D

So did I.

[seanshow]

Yeah. In the middle, near the back.

It was quality, thought Alex Miller was sitting in the vicinity...

"Get back!, 11 men behind the ball, hold it in the corners"

More power to him hope he got a good payout, it was very entertaining. :greengrin

He played like he couldn't be ersed. Great player but needs to start working hard no matter who we play.

Re Hanlon - with your view its only therefore possible to have a poor game against Berwick? He can't have a good game? Does everything well - So he should! Makes a mistake - He rubbish. Boy cannae win eh.

I just fail to see how Hanlon could be singled out a a plus point. He did what was expected of him today. Nothing more, nothing less. He wasn't tested and strolled through the game. I know from your posts that you really like him. But a plus point today? Not for me. A plus point for me is someone going over and above what you'd expect. Like Lewis Stevenson Today. Did all his usual steady stuff and popped up with as good a pass as you'll see for the first goal and a strikers finish for the second.
