Hibs 1-1 Inverness (Keatings)

[Hibby_G]

Big Game , Win it and we're going To Hamden AGAIN!! , Team News , Weather:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[IanM]

Up early to watch the McGregor fight. If Hibs scrap like the pair of them we'll do ok today..

Boyle to be the main man today.. Might even have a flutter

[Hibby_G]

I think we'll lineup something like this ,

Oxley
Gray
Mcgregor
Fontaine
Stevenson
Thomson
Hendo
Mcginn
Carmichael
Boyle
Stokes

[Libby Hibby]

[Hibernia&Alba]

As I said on Green Castle's thread, it's going to be a big ask today. Dig deep and go for broke with home advantage.

[Libby Hibby]

No holding back Hibs, let's really go for this today

[Hibeewilly]

McGeoch has been a huge miss. Anybody any idea if he has trained and will be fit ?

[BoomtownHibees]

We need to take the game to them right from the start and not slow down at any point. Similar to how The Rangers played yesterday

[bingo70]

Oxley

Mcgregor
Gunnarson
Fontaine

Gray
Mcgeouch
Thomson
Mcginn
Stevenson

Farid
Stokes (if true he's unavailable then Carmichael or Boyle playing in a free role just behind farid)

Don't seem to have too many options other than the players listed above, am I forgetting people?)

[Vault Boy]

Just started training again during the last few days, I think that would rule him out from starting. Possibly see him back on the bench though.

Looks like the League Cup Final will be coming around too soon for him then.

Hanlon is a big miss for us as well.

If he has been training the last few days think he will be involved today possibly from the bench but definitely next week unless injured again.

[Vault Boy]

Can only hope so. :agree:

His injury problems are such a misfortune, he's so integral to the team when he's fully fit and playing for an uninterrupted spell.

Yes unfortunate but if not there someone else needs to bring it. Cracking player just not very reliable injury wise.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Confident today. Let's play with a proper tempo and make the game happen and not wait for it to happen to us. Scrappy goals and deflections count for the same as a wonder goal at the end of 100 passes.

[Pete]

Win/win today.

If we win then great.

If we lose it's one less potential distraction around play off time.

We also ruined the cheats season in the process.:thumbsup:

Unless Stubbs thinks farid is good to go.

Tough game today, but I think we'll do it.

[Ronniekirk]

I expect us to be better than we have been in the last three Matches , but with suspensions and injuries it's a big ask to take another scalp .
Stubbs has already highlighted they are the cup holders and will scrap to make sure they don't go out .
Realistically we can't afford more injuries so I wonder if this may impact on some players if they get really physical .
On the other hand if he puts I a few players on the fringe and challenges them to claim a cup final place I may be pleasantly surprised by the result .But to be honest I am not expecting it .
Lovely day here on Arran and had to watch The Rangers game with my Father in Law yesterday so his turn to watch The Famous Edinbutgh Hibees with me today

I believe there was an outside chance of him making the final next weekend but no idea if that is still the case. Given how quiet it has been around him I'm guessing not.

I think this is another game which is evenly matched. But the result depends on which Hibs team turns up. The one that's played in the cups we've got a chance but if we play like we have in the last 3 league games we are beat

[seanshow]

Great day for a game.

Tough game especially without the suspended trio, plus Fraser out and Dylan on the bench at best.

Are we risking McGeouch here? I thought he had only resumed training in the last couple of days? It would be so frustrating to see him break down again so hopefully he is fit. We are so much stronger with him in the team. Think this will be tight and could well go to a replay.

At Easter Road we play...

[Smartie]

Decent looking team considering how many players we have out.

Presumably it's the diamond again which frankly I can't stand but I don't really see what other options we have given who we have available.

I'd imagine Yogi will have thoughts about how to overcome it, I think it's been found out a bit in the First Division.

Very lacking in depth on the bench, huge pressure on Thomson and McGeouch to complete 90 minutes, I really don't think they're capable of that although I do think they're both good players.

Decent looking first team though, I'm not too unhappy with that selection.

[hibsbollah]

Good line up. Midfield front three the key today. Lewis and Gray need to up their game. C'mon the Hibs

This is when silly yellow cards catch up with players.

[PiemanP]

A bench full of defenders and forwards. Maybe we should be brining back Martin or Stanton if the loans allow?

Not bad XI though.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Hard to believe this Morton team humped us at Easter Road and got a point at Ibrox.

We should have been 4-0 up before they got out of their half. They were absolutely dreadful until we lost the plot second half and lost all shape chasing an equaliser

[Turkish Green]

The defence always concerns me, but I do not see ICT managing more than 1.

i shall be watching via BBC as long as my VPN holds out.

Good luck. It will not be 4 defeats in a row. A comfortable 3-1 today to take Hibs nicely to the LC Final.

[oconnors_strip]

Donaldson is a right back

[GlasgowHibee]

PETRIE OUT!

Which is likely on both cases...

Dylan was never fit enough to play today, you could tell that from minute 1. He shouldn't be forcing himself through the pain barrier, we need him for more important games later in the season.

Seems to be getting lot of injuries at moment, maybe brought back too soon?

Maradona-like skills from McGinn there.

[nonshinyfinish]

Lol - I would like to see that statement written into the rules.....

TBF there used to be a statement of that type for offside (if it's too tight to call then favour the attacker). Don't know if it was actually codified in the rules or if it was just part of the guidance given to referees, but either way that's how offside was applied for a number of years.

But I don't see that as his style?

Maybe I am wrong/naive?

I think from evidence of first half they are being physical .They aren't on form so after we got the measure of them they are looking to break up play and disrupt our passing game which has been better

Stokes playing very well.

He's been playing well since he's signed. One of our hardest workers off the ball too.

[PiemanP]

Watching on TV. Penalty was too close to call IMO. Both gray and Fontaine should have scored in the scramble.

Playing well though but worried about our legs lasting in the second half as games being played at fast pace.

[BroxburnHibee]

Their only tactic was targeting McGregor by stretching him wide.

The switch to 3-5-2 has sorted that.

[Onceinawhile]

What position does Donaldson play?

I think someone said right back earlier on.

Agreed both him and Keatings working very hard.

Unlucky with offside and a superb save prevent Stokes scoring.

[Ryan91]

I don't think he's been too bad, the penalty decision aside. Just trying to keep the game flowing.

How the **** did we not score during that stramash?!

I think Ref needs to start getting a grip of caley players, book one and the rest might back off a little. As for the stramash their keeper was unfortunately outstanding, throwing himself at every shot virtually

Helped massively by Fontaine putting the ball straight at him!

[Hibrandenburg]

Our delivery into the box is atrocious. Apart from that we've about got our noses ahead elsewhere.

He's a defender his thought process was foot through ball at that point, not looking to place it like a striker might

[blackpoolhibs]

Its a physical game ffs, i'd love us to have a couple of 6ft 5 players who could dish it out as well as play with a bit of quality which these appear to have.

High Cross balls into the box is not going to yield results they've got big guys at the back, low crosses are more likely to yield results IMO

[Onceinawhile]

Down the slope second half.

Come on Hibs!!

[Aldo]

Foul right away by ICT. Henderson caught on his heels there . Need to keep it tight and we MUST take any chances

Keatings with a nice shot but he could of possibly taken it further in.

I must be missing the quality. First 10 minutes, when we were gash, excepted they have been utter pish.

[hibsbollah]

Thomson in trouble now. All we ****ing need :rolleyes:

[Pretty Boy]

Was that a penalty? Looked it from the FF.

That was a pen and that should be a red card for ICT player kicking out.

[Onceinawhile]

Just outside the box, but definite hand ball
