Hanlon injured?!

Clear squad rotation from Stubbs here. 4-3-3?

[Diclonius]

That is a very attacking line up. No idea why McGeouch's been dropped for Fyvie though.

[Aldo]

Good to see Keatings back.

[Billy Whizz]

A load of changes

[H18S NX]

Hanlon injured?

[Billychaotic182]

Paul and Dylan out?!?

[Lee Marvin]

Paul and Dylan out?!?

We have a lot of games coming up. Huge one Tuesday too.

I like the team.

[Greencore]

Bartley not starting?

[SaulGoodman]

13-0 Hibs

[Moulin Yarns]

I reckon the top 4 will all win today.

[GlasgowHibee]

Looks a great team, looking forward to this one.

[Pretty Boy]

It's certainly good to see Stubbs really changing thing up at home. He's maybe realised that the home performances haven't been great thus far, Aberdeen excepted, and reacted accordingly. Good to see.

[lucky]

Strongest bench in ages. Not sure I'd have picked that team though but clearly Stubbsy is going rotate the squad through out the season

[Pretty Boy]

Is it a different stadium announcer from usual?

[I'm_cabbaged]

I'm on holiday , keep the updates coming please!! 👍

[GlasgowHibee]

Is it a different stadium announcer from usual?

Yes, wonder what happened to the other guy?

[Andy74]

Hanlon injured?!

Clear squad rotation from Stubbs here. 4-3-3?

Looks like Keatings in the hole with the other two up front.

[Vault Boy]

Very interesting changes. Showing our strength in depth now that we have some players back fit.

[GlasgowHibee]

Very poor crowd today, also not a fan of the slow music before kick-off, completely killed the atmosphere.

PETRIE OUT.

[Diclonius]

Are refs just not going to give Hibs any penalties this season?

[GreenLake]

Penalty denied.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Yes, wonder what happened to the other guy?

Probably injured :wink:

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Yes, wonder what happened to the other guy?

Played a whole album by Zero 7

[Alfred E Newman]

15 mins gone no shots at goal.

[Ryan91]

As obvious as you can possibly get on a handball in the box, no penalty

[LancsHibs]

A bright start. I've counted 138 Dumbarton fans!

[Carheenlea]

McGeouch with second quick ball return from bench. Still contributing.

[Moulin Yarns]

15 mins gone no shots at goal.

Are you at the game?

According to the BBC text

2:22 Attempt missed. Jordan Kirkpatrick (Dumbarton) right footed shot from outside the box is too high.

7:37 Attempt missed. William Gibson (Dumbarton) header from the left side of the box misses to the left.

11:09 Attempt blocked. Dominique Malonga (Hibernian) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked.

12:11 Attempt missed. David Gray (Hibernian) header from the centre of the box is too high.

[Pretty Boy]

Pretty poor so far imo. Few wasted balls into the box and not tested their keeper at all. Still very slow.

[Moulin Yarns]

Goal Malonga!!

The 5001 SPFL goal

[SteveHFC]

Outstanding goal

[Pretty Boy]

And as I say that Malonga scores an absolute raker.

1-0

[Andy74]

My word. What a goal Malonga!

[YehButNoBut]

Yeeesssss 1-0 Hibees:flag:

[Ryan91]

What a strike by Malonga!

[stoneyburn hibs]

Screamer

[GlasgowHibee]

What a brilliant goal from Malonga, pinged it right into the top corner.

[GlasgowHibee]

And it's 1-1, David Gray **** up.

[Andy74]

Shocking defending!

[Pretty Boy]

1-1 comical defending by Gray. Ball slipped under Oxleys foot.

[GreenLake]

Beauty from Malonga. :flag:

[Moulin Yarns]

And in typical Hibs fashion it is 1-1

[Diclonius]

Cracking assist from David Gray.

[Andy74]

1-1 comical defending and keeper hardly looked convincing either.

Nowt keeper can do after that!

[YehButNoBut]

Held on to that lead for ages :rolleyes:

[Ryan91]

And then we let me go right up the park and equalise, poor defending, just boot it out there

[GreenLake]

I see there is a massive lag on Hibs TV.

[Diclonius]

Malonga booked for **** all.

[Ryan91]

Joke of a booking for Malonga

[Pretty Boy]

Malonga booked for **** all.

Strange booking, ball seemed to hit him as opposed to anything deliberate.

[Galahibby]

A bright start. I've counted 138 Dumbarton fans!

Exciting game then? :wink:

[Del Boy]

Moment of brilliance from Malonga quickly followed by moment of nonsense from Gray!! Hibs all over!

[Andy74]

Joke of a booking for Malonga

He did put his hand up to it.

Fonts scores!

[Pretty Boy]

2-1 Fontaine header.

[YehButNoBut]

2-1 Hibs hopefully hang on to this lead :greengrin:flag:

[Moulin Yarns]

Liam Fontaine 2-1 header

[Ryan91]

Fontaine scores, let's make this lead last more then 30 second

[xyz23jc]

Someone should wake up the a******** at OAM then. Not a word! :confused:

[Pretty Boy]

Someone should wake up the a******** at OAM then. Not a word! :confused:

Too busy worrying about Hearts title challenge no doubt

[Moulin Yarns]

Someone should wake up the a******** at OAM then. Not a word! :confused:

That's where I heard it. Charlie Mann at Easter Road.

[xyz23jc]

Sorry apparently 1-0 Hibs now!!! :confused: WTF

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

2 shots on target, 2 goals. Good ratio so far

[Pretty Boy]

Great build up on the break, Henderson again lacks composure from close range.

[Carheenlea]

A very entertaining 5 minute spell.

[Moulin Yarns]

Check the Other games thread :wink:

[Hibee87]

Malonga and keatings showing some good touches, passes and movement

[Pretty Boy]

Acrobatic clearance stops it being 3. Great run and determination by JC.

[Diclonius]

Some good play from Hibs now.

[Carheenlea]

An audacious attempt by Cummings from the bye line with keeper stranded - cleared off line.

[Andy74]

Penalty!

[Pretty Boy]

Finally a PENALTY.

Cummings bundled over.

[Carheenlea]

Penalty Hibs.

[Andy74]

Cummings scores it!

[Moulin Yarns]

Cummings Penalty 3-1

Let's do this team now and put a bit pressure on the huns.

[YehButNoBut]

Pen to Hibees 3-1 c'mon the Hibs, c'mon the QOS :gwa::gwa::flag:

[Carheenlea]

Coolly dispatched by Cummings. On easy street now. See this one out and move on to Falkirk midweek.

[cabbageandribs1875]

mon the muffin man


3 goals, should have went after all :lips seal

[Andy74]

Good half.

[GreenLake]

I can't read this thread if you are going to tell me the score before I watch it on HibsTV. :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

We were so much better after we scored, even allowing for Grays mental block.

Keep this up and we could get a few here.

[Hibee87]

Good first half, could have been more. I was about to say before half time I wpuld take cummings off and bring mcgeough on for more creativity in the middle as dumbarton will need to comit. But at 3-1 the might sit in now looking for damage limitation so keep as is and get an early 4th GGTTH

[Unseen work]

Great first goal
Great delivery for the 2nd and good header from fontaine
Good pass and touch to win the pen then very cool dispatched

Hibs playing well, quite like keatings in behind, very neat and creates space for himself.

Awful goal to conceeded, don't know what gray was doing. Need to see it again but looked like oxley should of saved it. Seemed a bit weak and close to him as he got a leg on it. No one to blame for it though other than grey.

Passing about nicely and creating plenty of chances. Cummings unlucky not to score with his chop and Henderson should of scored imo

[cjward2]

We should be able to get another couple of goals in the second half. Still think that Hibs lack penetration and it's nice to see shots happening from just inside the box. Fun first half to watch, and great for the kids watching there today.

[cjward2]

If we get a fourth goal, would it not be an opportunity to put on some of our subs and give them a bit of game time.

[GlasgowHibee]

That Hibs kid thing from the halfway line is the highlight of every game, vet fun to watch.

:D

[MartinfaePorty]

Didn't look like Oxley had much chance. Very close to his body so had to go with his left leg and managed to get something on it.

Yes. None of the above were near the keeper.

[Callum_62]

if things stay the same we will be 8 points behind Rangers - with a game in hand to go 5 points behind

not as bad as I thought it was actually

Hopefully QOTS can get the win

And then we could well beat them at ER.

We need to keep winning before that though.

[GlasgowHibee]

Now 1-1 Rangers, former Yam Jason Holt scored.

[Pretty Boy]

Dumbarton seem to be trying to shut up shop.

We're still creating though and with a bit of luck could have had a couple since the break.

[Pretty Boy]

Keating taken out by a 'robust' challenge. Ref signals he played the ball, which means **** all as per the rules, and waves play on.

[Pretty Boy]

4-1 Keatings. Great pass, superb finish.

[Gmack7]

Get in Keatings

[GlasgowHibee]

Fantastic finish from Keatings.

[Ryan91]

Superb finish from Keatings and great ball through

[Callum_62]

Sensational pass from Stevenson for the goal there

[sambajustice]

See Bobby Grant has bagged one for Fleetwood!!!

Hope that doesn't ruin the Football League Show for anyone! :D

[cabbageandribs1875]

pleased for keatings getting a goal

[Pretty Boy]

Multiple changes coming up

[Pretty Boy]

Bartley on Keatings off

[Ryan91]

Bartley replaces Keatings

Fyvie off, McGeouch on

[Pretty Boy]

Jase off Islam on

[GlasgowHibee]

Scandalous defending again, chipped free kick into the box, free header from 6 yards guided into the net.

[Bostonhibby]

4-2.

Maybe seeing the value of Paul Hanlon being in the team? record before this game was excellent, still, win on the cards, onward and upward

When people see that the HIBS thread has been updated they think something has happened at the HIBS match.

Instead we have people talking about OTHER GAMES when there is an OTHER GAMES thread.

It's very misleading.

[Pretty Boy]

Can I add todays ref to the list of jokers we have had this season as well.

Seem to remember that following that rather ridiculous thread that GAMES which affect Hibs were fair game to REPORT, should be interesting on Tues as Falkirk have judt scored to put them 3 points behind hibs.

Clear squad rotation from Stubbs here. 4-3-3?

What a strong bench. Will be needed if we are in play offs. Could well be the thing that gets us promoted.

[Pete]

Really?

Well, yes.

If the hibs match update thread has been updated then why are you surprised that some people assume that something has happened at the game?

Is that not the whole point of the thread?


Wales 16 south Africa 15

[Hibtastic]

There is an app called flashscores that allows you to select the matches you want updates from! Might be useful for those that can't handle other scores being reported in the match thread.

[Thecat23]

Hibs played very well today, thought Dom was fantastic and my motm. Silly goals to lose mind you and I wish Oxley would hurry up when taking goal kicks. We want to win by as many as possible but he seems to take forever.

Overall we could have scored 10 today I thought Dunbarton were that poor.

[Broken Gnome]

Well, yes.

In theory yes. But of six pages and around 180 posts, how many are actually relevant to any events of real importance?

If you chased every single new post as a matter of grave importance, you'll end up with an intense pretty anti-climatic afternoon post-3pm.

I thought it was about English games?

Anyway, admins confirmed no issues with any scores including English on the thread so who cares if it is deliberate?

More people said they found scores in one place handy than those who didn't like it.

Are we really going to have this every week?

[Golden Bear]

Some folk like being awkward for the sake of being awkward and nothing will change that.

[Gatecrasher]

Solid performance, took the foot off the gas early maybe with an eye on Tuesday.

What was the problem today?

[IrnBru22]

Did anyone see Malonga's reaction after the 4th goal? Run straight to number 13 (who had just fouled him 30 seconds earlier) to celebrate in his face before celebrating with the rest of the Hibs team.

[Onion]

Solid performance, took the foot off the gas early maybe with an eye on Tuesday.

Great for 70 mins, but lost shape and control by making 3 subs in quick succession. Big well done to Keatings and Fyvie, who looked fit a sharp after injury.

[silverhibee]

Feruz needs to learn to stay on side.

Big game for us on Tuesday.

[lucky]

Played well until the 3 subs. Good goal from Malonga but Keatings goal was a great move. Overall another decent 3 points but I thought Oxley was awful at the two goals. The first he tried to kick away and the second his positioning was poor.

[GlesgaeHibby]

I'm not his biggest fan, but didn't stand much chance with the first goal after Gray gifted it to them.

First one was nothing to do with Oxley. Once the boy was able to hammer it from so close in he had little chance. Thought he done well even getting a foot on it.

[Thecat23]

Great for 70 mins, but lost shape and control by making 3 subs in quick succession. Big well done to Keatings and Fyvie, who looked fit a sharp after injury.

Fyvie for me was the poorest player for us. I honestly don't think he does enough and He wouldn't be in myfirst 11. Was delighted when we signed him as well but he's just not done enough in this league. Maybe he'll come good but Bartley would play in front of him every time for me.

Agree about the 70 mins though, subs came on and we lost that sharpness and shape a bit.

[Lago]

What was the problem today?

Me apparently:greengrin

[AlbertK86]

Good performance for majority of game.

Thought Keatings did very well

Anybody know what was up with Hanlon today

[Andy74]

Feruz needs to learn to stay on side.

Big game for us on Tuesday.

Needs to figure out how to get involved in the game.

It shows where football is when players at his stage of development are owning Porsches!

[emerald green]

Happy with the three points and four goals. Hibs first and fourth goals were both excellent. I just came away feeling the shine had been taken off the win by two things.

One was conceding two very poor goals. To lose an equaliser straight from the kick off in the manner Hibs did was ridiculous. Any coach would be tearing his hair out looking at the way Hibs seemed to completely switch off / lose concentration at that goal. Strange really, considering Hibs as a team have been defending well in recent weeks.

4-2 was no way an accurate reflection on this match. One of these days Hibs will hammer some team 5 or 6 nil. Goal difference might be important at the end of the season.

The other thing was the fact that Huns, Falkirk, and Raith all won with very late goals. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard the Huns had been awarded a late penalty, albeit they didn't score from it.

[steakbake]

Fair summary. Negatives: I'm concerned at how easy the Dumbarton goals were. Gifts. If we do this against a different type of team, that could decide a game.

Positives: good goals, decent enough going forward. First time I've managed along this season, but I like a number of players in the team and think we look pretty balanced with good skills around the pitch.

[lucky]

First one was nothing to do with Oxley. Once the boy was able to hammer it from so close in he had little chance. Thought he done well even getting a foot on it.

I accept Gray's clearance was poor but the shot was not that close range and I thought Oxleys effort to kick it away with his left foot was pathetic. The second goal Bartley reacted slowly but Oxley positioning was poor, too far over to the right hand post. I just done think he is good enough

[O'Rourke3]

Fyvie for me was the poorest player for us. I honestly don't think he does enough and He wouldn't be in myfirst 11. Was delighted when we signed him as well but he's just not done enough in this league. Maybe he'll come good but Bartley would play in front of him every time for me.

Agree about the 70 mins though, subs came on and we lost that sharpness and shape a bit.

Actually thought Fyvie was our best player after an inauspicious start. Centre of every thing and while he still goes backwards sometimes he was moving the ball across the park quickly and with intent.

We missed Paul Hanlon - anyone know why he was missing today?

[Billy Whizz]

I did notice that. The number 13 put himself about today.

Gibson, he did the same for most of the match against Scott Allan in the last match, at their place

You must have been at a different game from me. Admittedly he started slowly, but then came into a real game. We need to get him upto 100% fitness, and he'd be in my team every week

I'd definitly have McGeouch starting ahead of Fyvie

[Hiber-nation]

Fyvie for me was the poorest player for us. I honestly don't think he does enough and He wouldn't be in myfirst 11. Was delighted when we signed him as well but he's just not done enough in this league. Maybe he'll come good but Bartley would play in front of him every time for me.

Agree about the 70 mins though, subs came on and we lost that sharpness and shape a bit.

Seriously? Fyvie was as good as any Hibs player today. Bartley was awful when he came on so tricky decision for the manager.

[Andy74]

I accept Gray's clearance was poor but the shot was not that close range and I thought Oxleys effort to kick it away with his left foot was pathetic. The second goal Bartley reacted slowly but Oxley positioning was poor, too far over to the right hand post. I just done think he is good enough

Agree on the second one. Thought he was too far over.

[JimBHibees]

Actually thought Fyvie was our best player after an inauspicious start. Centre of every thing and while he still goes backwards sometimes he was moving the ball across the park quickly and with intent.

We missed Paul Hanlon - anyone know why he was missing today?

Don't think we did to be honest. Thought both central defenders were good and think McGregor gives us a bit of physicality we don't have.

Well I think we did :na na:.:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

Not sure he'd have been able to do much about the first but someone was missing at the second. Buuuuut, does anyone know why he was missing?

I assume he'll just have been rested. Sensible thing to do with a lot of games coming up. Same as McGeouch.

I thought Fyvie kept the ball moving well today. Generally speaking, I think he has more to offer than what he has shown in a Hibs top so far.

Agree about Bartley when he came on. Gave the free kick away for the second goal and then it was his man that scored.

Good goals from Dom and Keatings.

Bartley sold it too busy grappling with the player and not looking at the ball.

[Bostonhibby]

Did anyone see Malonga's reaction after the 4th goal? Run straight to number 13 (who had just fouled him 30 seconds earlier) to celebrate in his face before celebrating with the rest of the Hibs team.
Dominic Malonga, Hibs class, every time. Makes me enjoy my football, throwback to better times.

Agree about the 70 mins though, subs came on and we lost that sharpness and shape a bit.2 wonderful passes to Cummings that led to a clearance off the line and the penalty, Bartley simply does not make those 2 passes (not that that is something to hold against Bartley, that isn't his job). Thought he was good considering he was just back from injury.

Grey had a bit of a stinker IMO, crossing was very poor and absolute howler for their first.

Same here - KD strikes again today

I just don't think he's been good enough since we signed him. In this league he should be doing better and when Allan left thought he might step up. Granted he's been out but both me and my mate thought he was pretty poor. Mad how we see games differently, but that's football for you.

100% agree about Grey he's either carrying a niggle or he's simply lost form. Last season he was superb!

Thought big Ox may have done better with both goals we lost as well. He's been great for us recently and I'm sure (not that any were his fault) he'll be disappointed letting the first go past him and the second I thought he was to far over to the near post. Again not his fault just think maybe could have stopped both on another day.

Often agree with your views TC but not today - think you need to watch Fyvie's performance again from today - it was him that took a grip of the game after about 15 mins and then was involved in almost everything of note for us....not sure he misplaced a pass after that....always available and was the best midfielder for the rest of his time on the pitch....good shift....my MOM ...

[Diclonius]

I did notice that. The number 13 put himself about today.

Number 13 was Willie Gibson.

Stubbsy says he was rested. He said that we have enough options to rest players now, particularly with a lot of games coming up. McGregor and Fonts played well.

Very harsh as Ox has been excellent for weeks now...I agree he never covered himself in glory today but neither did the back 4...Gray I'm particular was woeful today.

Maybe i do mate, I just never seen it from him today. I'll watch the highlights though and see what he's like.

[Bishop Hibee]

Good performance and result. Well done Stubbs on an attacking formation. Big games coming up.

Agree. Enjoyed Malonga and Cummings with Keatings off them. Keatings is busy, does things with a bit of energy and took up some great positions, we've really missed that. This was the first time for a while I can remember where I seen an opposition centre half in two minds whether to stick with his man or go in on Keatings. Normally teams sit in and don't have this problem and it all becomes a bit flat (like when Keatings went off). Pulling players out of position has been our biggest failing when we haven't won games we should have at ER especially.

Went flat at 4-1, would quite like a ruthless streak but after break and with
another game on Tuesday we can't complain too much that the foot came off the gas.

I think Gray could be dropped on Tuesday with Hanlon in at CH and McGregor at RB

I was thinking that myself, also think Boyle will start
