Not sure if Farid is fit enough to start or if it's wise to risk his knees on the plastic pitch.
If Stokes hasn't recovered, I might be tempted to use Cummings on his own, with Boyle & Carmichael wide.

If our new keeper is good enough for the bench, he's good enough for the team.

Subs Ox, Gray, Farid, Keatings, Thomson, Dagnall, Stevenson

[coldingham hibs]

Do we have any players in the Development squad capable of stepping up?.

Gray in on right, Stevenson in on left, Hanlon in if fit... That's the team.

[lucky]

I would not risk Hanlon. It's another plastic pitch. Our focus now is the play offs a cups. But certainly I'd drop Oxley.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Gray in on right, Stevenson in on left, Hanlon in if fit... That's the team.

Hanlon's first pick when fit. Putting Gray and Stevenson in makes us more 5-3-2 and we really need more natural width and pace to get in behind teams. IMO

Out of the players available, I'd prefer gray and Stevenson to a back three. Gunnarson kept falling in to full back mode against Alloa for a start, DG and LS have much more experience. With the two real wingers in place, there is still an opportunity for overlap and Bartley to fall back in with CH.

Same team that finished the game yesterday IMO

Agree, Virtanen in. Stokes shouldn't get to waltz back in the team either though.

This.

But maybe worry wth el al up top and the plastic pitch.

Stokes instead of him?

I'd also change the keeper

That team had some bad days too. Just as well Celtic didn't think of the 6-1 sign. Still greeting about that result.

Apologies. I've just woken up from a "Life on Mars" experience back in the 70s. Was dreaming of what a settled Hibs team looked like.

End of the day we can guess all we like what the team will be on Tuesday. Bottom line is whoever the starting 11 are, they have to impose right from the first whistle. Show we are the better side. Score an early goal (or goals) and settle down to play the way we know we can.

[Smartie]

It's a bit worrying how much variation there is between everyone's teams.

A sound, settled team picks itself. We don't appear to be able to decide on any definite picks, any definite tactics.

This was what it was like under Butcher - he didn't seem to know from week to week what to do with the players he had.

I'm going to go with similar to the game against Alloa who we played very well against (assuming Hanlon isn't fit).

Vrtanen

Gunnarson
McGregor
Fontaine

Bartley
McGinn

Boyle
Henderson
Carmichael

Stokes
El Alagui

[Onion]

Is El Alagui fully fit and match sharp ? If so, could be a real bonus and asset to us in the run in.

[Eyrie]

I wouldn't start El Alagui on an artificial pitch. He's too important to risk, so let's keep him for playing on grass.

[J-C]

We need width and pace.

Virtanen

Gunnarsson
McGregor
Fontaine

Boyle
McGeouch (if fit) Henderson if not fit.

Would prefer to go with Alagui in this formation but dont think its sensible to play him on the plastic pitch.

You'd drop Henderson? One of our most consistent players all season. Dragged us back into it yesterday.

He's not showing signs of fatigue though.

I think Oxley will play, but this is the team and formation i would play, good pace up front.

[blackpoolhibs]

Hanlon is going for a scan tomorrow morning on his knee, he's no chance of playing against QOS.

[J-C]

He will if he's playing 90 mins of every game, he's still a young lad remember.

[truehibernian]

Martin Boyle has been really underused this season and it's surprising - his pace alone puts defences on the back foot and he's 'tried and tested' at this level. We missed him in the play offs last season so I can't see any reason not to give him a good run of games.

Make your mind up. Achilles is your ankle/foot area. That is not what he was holding or what the physio was treating on Saturday.

No wonder its swollen if the physio trod on it.

Nae idea what the team will be and with all the changes, stubbs probably has no idea either.

Time for whatever 11 players are on the park to try and rescue our season.

Agree with that should be starting after how well he played v Alloa and also the latter part of last season.

I was at the game and the area of concern was not his Achilles tendon.

[007 Mickey Weir]

This needs to be our strongest team available with anyone needing a rest rested on Sunday.

And if you were you'd realise what a stupid statement you made when everyone else was talking about his knee.
