Predictions/teams v Falkirk

[Diclonius]

So guys, must win game - what will happen? Here's who I'd pick:



Oxley

Gray McGregor Hanlon Gunarsson Stevenson

Fyvie

McGinn Henderson

Boyle Stokes


I don't think our team will be anything like that, and we'll draw 1-1. Let's wait and see.

[flash]

To be fair that's 12 players so would hope for more than a draw. :)

[Pretty Boy]

I'm sure I read an interview with one of the backroom staff, might have been Doolan, were he said they hoped to give either Logan or Virtanen a game against Alloa or Falkirk. Considering Oxley played Saturday it could mean we see a change in goals tomorrow.

[Hibstrooper]

I reckon we might see a flat 4-4-2 from the start...

Oxley

Gray
Hanlon
Fontaine
Stevenson

Boyle
Bartley
McGinn
Henderson

Cummings
Stokes

You have 12 players :greengrin

I would pretty much go with that team - the only thing is Gray or Boyle - probably Gray initially then Boyle as impact.

Though Falkirk struggle against pace.

Fyvie / Bartley / KT - could be any of the 3

Fyvie - best all round player but not match fit
Bartley - our best player in the cup final and last few games until the head knock
KT - best passer but slows game down and sits too deep.

Keeper wise - this is a must win game so Oxley must start - would be a risk to throw in anyone else.

[Brightside]

352 and if its not I'm giving up on Stubbs


Gunnarson Hanlon Fontaine


Boyle Bartley Henderson Fyvie mcginn


Shaw Cummings

I thought about throwing the laddie in up front too but I can't see it happening.

Shaw Cummings

Zero chance of this happening.

What formation did we play in the last game against Falkirk at home ? I'm sure it was 3-5-2 till the sending off.

The away game the following players played..

Ox

McGregor Hanlon Fontaine Stevenson

McGeouch

Fyvie McGinn

Keatings

Malonga Cummings

Henderson came on and changed the game.

[RoxburghHibs]

Logan

Gray Hanlon Fontaine Stevenson

Fyvie

Henderson McGinn Boyle

Cummings Stokes

[ShinyFantastic]

Logan

Gray Hanlon Fontaine Stevenson

Fyvie

McGinn Henderson

Boyle Stokes


I know we're good, but to play with 10 men?

[Since90+2]

Falkirk win or draw.

[RoxburghHibs]

I know we're good, but to play with 10 men?


haha - I wish!!! (edited)

[CorrieHibs]

Logan

McGregor Hanlon Fontaine

Boyle (RWB) Stevenson (LWB

Bartley

McGinn Fyvie



Keatings Stokes

[RoxburghHibs]

Logan

Gray Hanlon Fontaine Stevenson

Fyvie

Henderson McGinn Boyle

Cummings Stokes



I was 50/50 over Cummings or Keatings to play up front with Stokes. But from what I recall Cummings has scored a couple goals against Falkirk so stuck with him.

[21.05.2016]

Going to be a mega tough game. On paper we have a good enough team to beat them but with the way we have been playing I really don't know. Falkirk will no doubt be feeling pretty confident, we certainly over the last couple of months havent given them any particular reason to be feared of us. Like other teams, they know they wont have to create a barrel load of chances against us as we seem to give away a lot on the cheap.

352 and if its not I'm giving up on Stubbs Gunnarson Hanlon Fontaine Boyle Bartley Henderson Fyvie mcginn Shaw Cummings

I agree 100% anything other than 352 and I think we could have our backsides handed to us. I'd play stokes tho.

[SJM]

Bartley and Cummings need to start and I hope Fyvie is back. Basic 442 with Bartley McGinn Fyvie and Henderson with Stokes and Cummings up top. Pray the goalie who should have been given a shot before Saturday doesn't blow it either.

3-2 the cabbage Celtc in the final. Squirrel of the bench winner.

[Borderhibbie76]

352 and if its not I'm giving up on Stubbs


Gunnarson Hanlon Fontaine

Shaw Cummings
Shaw?? I know our strikers are under performing but seriously an untried youngster in our most important match of season so far? ?

[Big_Franck]

It'd be madness to throw an untried keeper in to this game with Falkirk, it's a huge game for us. We had chances to give either of them a game against the likes of Alloa and Livingston, which would have seemed the more obvious choice, so i'd be very surprised if Oxley doesn't start.

The team I would go with:

Oxley

Boyle
Gunnarson
Hanlon
Fontaine
Stevenson

Bartley
Fyvie
McGinn

Henderson
Cummings


The team I think Stubbs will go with:

Oxley

Gray
McGregor
Hanlon
Fontaine
Stevenson

Fyvie
McGinn
Henderson

Cummings
Stokes

[Schteff]

Either reserve GK

Gunnarson
McGregor
Hanlon

Boyle
Fyvie
Bartley
McGinn
Henderson

Stokes
Cummings

[Big L]

Can I just say that it was tremendous to see Oxley make a save against Alloa on Sat, mebbe take some confidence from that, hope so anyway! Against Falkirk I would play a 4 1 4 1 Ox or Vir - Gray Mcgregor Hanlon Stevenson - Bartley - Mcgeough Fyvie Mcginn Henderson - Cummings. I think it will be a midfield battle and thats where the game can be won. I just hope that Stubbs has been keeping Mcgeough for this game.

[Super_JMcGinn]

I find it astonishing he hasn't given Virtanen a chance before now, to do so tomorrow would be madness imo given the importance of the game and it could well be a very hostile atmosphere if things aren't going our way. Here's hoping whoever plays has little or nothing to do and keeps a clean sheet.

[coldingham hibs]

352 and if its not I'm giving up on Stubbs


Gunnarson Hanlon Fontaine


Boyle Bartley Henderson Fyvie mcginn

This team looks decent but we need McGregors pace, Gunnerson & Fonts are too slow.

I know I'll be accused of Oxley bashing but I wasn't impressed with the save, I don't understand how he was so near to his front post as he left the whole side of the goal to shoot at then he pushed the ball straight into the centre of the box. That would have left an open goal for a tap in.

[coldingham hibs]

As a prediction I don't think we will win maybe a 1-1 draw, if we lose then confidence will be completely shot, Stubbs will have to go.

[Hermit Crab]

People wanting Oxley to play? Then throw an untested goalkeeper in the semi...

[cabbageandribs1875]

Alloa game was an ideal opportunity to at least let virtanen get some game time, oxley should play tomorrow night though imo

[Big L]

Exactly what he done in the Morton game and the guy scored. I suppose I was just delighted to see him get to something after slagging him since he got here!!

[SkintHibby]

As a prediction I don't think we will win maybe a 1-1 draw, if we lose then confidence will be completely shot, Stubbs will have to go.

No matter what, Stubbs will be here till the end of the season unless he himself quits.

[MWHIBBIES]

People wanting Oxley to play? Then throw an untested goalkeeper in the semi...Every player is untested at some point, 1 game isn't going to change anything, either he will do fine or he wont.


352 and if its not I'm giving up on Stubbs


Gunnarson Hanlon Fontaine


Boyle Bartley Henderson Fyvie mcginn


Shaw CummingsWhat if we play the way Stubbs wants us to play and we win? Will you be giving up then?

[Danderhall Hibs]

If true should've let it go past him.

[Danderhall Hibs]

People wanting Oxley to play? Then throw an untested goalkeeper in the semi...

I want to make sure we get 2nd place so want to play our first choice team.

[Unseen work]

Are people honestly wanting Shaw to start?!

Based on what?

I'd be suprised if 5% of hibs fans have seen him play more than twice.

Cummings and stokes up top.

I don't have faith in keatings or dagnall to get a goal either.

[mcfly]

Manager has known for weeks that oxley can't play at Hampden.

So why has virtanen not been given a game???

Crazy decision in my view

[Brightside]

Dylan won't be risked tonight. Keeping him for play offs.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Dylan won't be risked tonight. Keeping him for play offs.

Stubbs said in his interview yesterday that Dylan will up his training from Monday, so hes out of the next 4 games at least.

[#FromTheCapital]

Falkirk at 4/1 looks a very tempting price...

[Danderhall Hibs]

It's likely to be down to him prioritising the league over the cup.

[Hibs90]

It's likely to be down to him prioritising the league over the cup.


Exactly. Strongest team every week. People prioritising the cup over this huge game is weird. Promotion is surely priority and like it or not Oxley is our strongest keeper.

Not only is a win essential I suggest goal difference may also become an issue ,so go for it!!!!!!!!

Something to celebrate that.

[TheMentalHibees]

We'll play the diamond. We'll have plenty possession. We'll have 10 efforts on goal and not score. Falkirk will score on the break. All to the tune of sonny and Cher's "I got you babe".

Boyle down the right hand side caused them all sorts of trouble 0-3 win last season and would go with it again. Would bring Bartley back in as well to cover McGinn and Henderson.. Can't see this being the team though unfortunately

The goal difference is 8 in their favour , i don't see us clawing that back to be honest
One of our games in hand is against Rangers
Whats our two games after we play Dundee United as its another heavy schedule coming up and looks like
Mcgeoch and Carmichael wont rightly be risked until fully fit and no reactions
In training ,and no set backs . However neither will be match fit and they will need to get match sharp in play offs assuming they stay fit
Could be the boost we need at that point

[Radium]

Falkirk fan at work is not worried about getting beat, he just wants Falkirk to maintain their goal difference advantage.

Personally am swinging between wildly optimistic and we're doomed, so have no idea what the score will be.

Re the formation, only 2 up front and not shoehorning a striker into midfield would do for me.

[weecounty hibby]

2-0 Hibs. Ever optimistic!

Sorry if I've missed this. With there being European games on is the game being broadcast on HibsTV tonight (video as well as audio)?

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Boyle scored after about 7 minutes last time we played him at RWB against Falkirk. He also caused them all sorts of bother in the 3-3 game at ER and scored against them earlier this season. Just saying.
