[Capt Mainwaring]

Certainly time to give Keatings a rest. He's been poor last two games. Drop him for Henderson

Wouldn't surprise me if this will be the team.

[pontius pilate]

I'd probably drop fyvie as well and put in Bartley. Fyvie just not been doing it for me recently. But each to their own

[thebakerboy]

After his last 4 or 5 performances I wouldn't have Fyvie anywhere near my team but Stubbsy knows best.:gwa:

[JJP]

I thought Fyvie was pretty effective in protecting the defence today. I would be dropping McGinn before Fyvie on today's evidence.

[coco22]

Definitely more dangerous and industrious with Henderson on the park - Keatings / Fyvie to give way for me

[truehibernian]

I'd have Malonga and Stokes on bench - thought Dagnall did well last two games and allows JC to be a poacher - he ties up centre halves, thought even for the short time he was on he made a positive impression. Dom was awful today.

4-4-2, midfield of McGinn, Fyvie, McGeouch and Henderson.

[Michael]

Fyvie's been a bit prone to error recently, but I still think we look better with him than without him.

Personally though I would like to see Boyle start. I don't think McGinn/McGeouch/Henderson are very effective when they have to play out wide.

Was very surprised Boyle didn't feature - in all games last season and this they struggle against his pace.

I wonder how Stubbs will approach Stokes, with him not having played for while. Id also like to see a bit more of Dagnall. Would be keen to a see a system that accommodates three forwards.

[KDY Hibs]

When was the last time stokes played a first team game? Not sure if he'd start straight away but then again dagnall started against raith.

[yekimevol]

Not really liking the Diamond midfield, were far to narrow. I would like to see us change to a 4-2-3-1

--------------Cummings
------Stokes Henderson Boyle
----------McGeouch Mcglinn

------------------Oxley

[B.H.F.C]

Gray for McGregor. Henderson for Keatings. Stokes for Malonga.

[stevie-bee]

McGregor was excellent today wouldn't drop him ,
Malonga/ keatings very poor today and to early to give stokes a start needs match fitness ,
Up front Cummings / dagnall

[marleyhib]

I'd play stokes, get him up to speed as fast as possible

Oxley
McGregor Hanlon Fontaine
Bartley
Henderson McGinn McGeough Stevenson Stokes
Cummings

[Danderhall Hibs]

Sure it was August or September. Long time but it's just the championship - he'd manage 60 minutes.

[Danderhall Hibs]

And another thing - Fyvie would be better sitting it out for a bit, then we'd all be able to rave about him and wonder why he's not in the team.

Like what's happening with Bartley.

[Kaiserclem]

Oxley

McGregor

Subs: Rugeuro, Gunnarsson, Fyvie, Keatings, Boyle, Malonga, Stokes.

Fyvie was good today - I think he needs to impose himself from the start more but he played well. Still think Oxley deserves praise - I'm a critic but he pulled off two fantastic saves today.

I agree but there are a lot of folk that won't give either of the 2 you mention any credit cos they've already called it that they're not good enough.

[marleyhib]

Probably been asked, but can Stokes play against St Johnstone?

Yes, he hasn't played in the League Cup so far this season.

He can play against Hearts as well.

[JimBHibees]

He was a sub v Raith in the league cup so isn't able to play in semi final.

[truehibernian]

He was a sub v Raith in the league cup so isn't able to play in semi final.

Is there a ruling on that Jim (unused sub) ? I thought he was still eligible ?

[BoomtownHibees]

Are folk really saying we shouldn't play Stokes??

[truehibernian]

I like the look of Dagnall at this level and he looks fit and sharp match wise - I'd play him and Jason. Would be a St Mirren's defence nightmare if we are doing well and Stokes, Malonga and Keatings come on last half hour !

I agree the temptation will be there but getting him match fit for the derby is key for me.

Don't doubt that mate - I just think from what I've seen of Dagnall I'd like a start from him at ER - I think he could be a little rough diamond and a fans favourite.

Would actually like to see Hibs try and dominate the midfield and control a game to many teams get to many sniffs at goal it's proven in our recent results to we haven't scored enough. The 3 strikers ain't working or one just behind whatever way you look at it.

McGeough is good, but there is definitely only one of him.

So he did, ahh well. :rolleyes:

Yeah pretty sure you just need to be named on the bench in a cup competition to be cup-tied for the rest of the season. You don't actually need to play.

Although I can't see this rule stated anywhere on the SPFL site.

[StevieBoyKdy]

McGeough is good, but there is definitely only one of him.

Oops meant McGinn there

Swap Bartley for Fyvie for me. Very surprised that I agree with having Fonts on the bench but he's not been as good as last season and Hanlon + DM has the right balance.

Pretty sure that rules him out even though he didnt play think one of our signings in the last few years was cup tied on that basis.

Who would you bring on from that bench to go in goals if Oxley was to get injured or sent off?

Need to stop playing him outwide. Waste of his talents.

some journalist put on twitter yesterday that he'd spoken to the spfl and stokes WAS able to play in both cups as being on the bench doesn't "cup tie" you :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Can't agree. Confidence still looks good, not hiding and still effective. He'll come good again in time and with right players around him.

[HibsNutter]

Oxley, Gray, Mcgregor, Hanlon, Stevenson, Bartley, McGeouch, McGinn, Henderson, Stokes, Cummings.

Bench: Reguero, Fontaine, Gunnarsson, Fyvie, Boyle, Malonga, Dagnall.

Incredibly strong bench for this level, even keeping out Keatings, with Carmichael and El Alagui (possibly) to come back we have a very strong squad which should see us able to see of Fakirk and possibly Rangers in the run-in.

[IFONLY]

It doesn't, only game time cup ties you

Not according to rule 14 of the SFL. It states ``The players in a team may be changed from match to match, but a club may not play, or list as a named substitute any player who in the same season, has already played, or been a named substitute for another club in the competition.

I think that rule only applies to the Scottish cup, the league cup is different I think

Oxley

Gray Mcregor Hanlon Stevenson

Mcgeough Henderson Mcginn

Cummings Dagnall Stokes

Bench:
Reguero
Fontaine
Fyvie
Bartley
Gunnarson
Malonga
Boyle

Big Malonga fan but sometimes he can be more effective off the bench.
Think Dagnall and Stokes will work brilliantly together. Both very intelligent players and Ieel with Dagnall occupying their defenders it will create lots of space and chances for Stokes and Cummings.

Also don't feel the need for a sitting midfielder at home to St.Mirren.

Where are you seeing this. The SFL was replaced by the SPFL. Do they have the same rules?
I don't know.
The Scottish Cup is an SFA tournament, so that could also be different.

[mim]

SPFL League Cup. Eligibility.

7.2. No Club shall play, or list as a named substitute, any Player who, in the same
Season, has already Played for another Club in the Competition.

No mention here of being a named substitute for another club.

And he wasn't on the bench in the Scottish cup. As said, Kenny Millar has checked directly with the SPFL and they've said he's fine for both competitions.
