Falkirk 1 v Hibernian 2 (Cummings x 2)

[Pretty Boy]

Going to take the plunge and start us off this season.

Team news/rumours?

:flag:

[KdyHby]

Fyvie out, 1800+ Hibs fans going, 3 Falkirk players to fear for their lives when the final whistle goes.

Predictions:


Season to start with a disappointing 1-1 draw...

Houston to moan his face off in the press afterwards about Refereeing decisions...

DotNet to go into meltdown that we're already 2 points behind the team at the top of the league...

Calls for Hibs to just sell JC to Rotherham and have done with it...

PB to get blamed for daring to start the Matchday Thread :wink:

[wookie70]

Good feeling about today. We have looked like winners, probably because we are, all through the preseason. For the first time in a long time we have belief and a real edge. 2-0 Hibs Holt and JC, referee denies us at least one pen and let's them kick us off the park

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Hibs victory. Houston will be telling them that they have won it already. We will be an altogether different animal under Lennon. The days of being pretty before productive are over. We will be two or three up before Houston gets his decision that he says turned the game.

[Diclonius]

Fantastic weather in Falkirk.. 2 hours ago.

Away to set off to get parked near the stadium, spaces are gonna run out quickly. Good luck everyone, hope we **** em.

[Billy Whizz]

Team news can't be far away. Wonder if Gray and McGeough are fit

Is that 5 at the back for them?

[lucky]

I like McGeough but he's no use if he's never fit.

[spudhib]

Hanlon in midfield ??? In a 4-2-3-1

[Diclonius]

Looks like a 4-3-3 for us. Hanlon in midfield with Martin and McGinn either side.

[Big_Franck]

I would have played Bartley before Martin. Be interesting to see how we line up in attack, i'm hoping it's not Keatings in behind the front two as the game normally passes him by in there.

I can see Boyle coming on and making an impact if need be.

[Heisenberg]

Looks like a clear 352 no?

[Big_Franck]

Looks like a 4-3-3 for us. Hanlon in midfield with Martin and McGinn either side.

It could be. When I first seen the team I thought it might be 3-5-2 with wing backs, McGinn and Martin in centre mid and Keatings just in front of them.

[Dashing Bob S]

No McGeough but a big chance for the young lad Scott Martin to be patronised by posts like this.

[Bishop Hibee]

Be interesting to see the formation with that starting XI. On the airport bus into town just back from hols. Take it McGeoch is injured?

[Ozyhibby]

Hanlon in midfield? Stanton on the bench?

[Franck Stanton]

From the looks of it, would appear to be 3 central defence, with both full-backs being used as wingers when we have the ball and are attacking, and defending when we don't. Two central midfield suplemented by full backs, Keats in "No10" role just behind the two strikers. Brave formation imo.

[Take it work permit/international clearance for Rocky didn't come through ? ]

[DaveF]

If McGeouch is again going to be missing for half a season or more then it only highlights how urgently we need new bodies in.

Hopefully Martin impresses. Best of luck to him today.

[lucky]

Interesting that Marv has fallen behind Martin in the pecking order in central midfield. With DM & FF to come back he's not going to see a lot of game time when everyone is fit.

[Diclonius]

Going by the warm up shots at goal, Martin and Keatings will have a storming game and Holt and Cummings will miss every chance they get.

[Diclonius]

Interesting that Marv has fallen behind Martin in the pecking order in central midfield. With DM & FF to come back he's not going to see a lot of game time when everyone is fit.

Maybe Lennon thinks Martin is a better fit for our style of play in this lineup. Shame because Bartley is a cracking player IMO.

[DaveF]

Interesting that Marv has fallen behind Martin in the pecking order in central midfield. With DM & FF to come back he's not going to see a lot of game time when everyone is fit.

I only saw Bartley in the Motherwell friendly but it looked then that he had a good go at eating everything he could during pre-season. Perhaps he's simply not in the shape Lennon demands?

[bingo70]

Interesting that Marv has fallen behind Martin in the pecking order in central midfield. With DM & FF to come back he's not going to see a lot of game time when everyone is fit.

I think artificial pitches require people to be technically very good.

theres a time and a place for Bartley but he was terrible in the play off game, might have been to do with the pitch, I don't know but I'm pleased to see Martin getting the opportunity.

[Billy Whizz]

He's been injured too, didn't play at Shresbury last week

Falkirk got a whole block empty in their main stand. Could and should have sold it to Hibs fans

[Pretty Boy]

Delighted to see Martin start. He's staked his claim in pre season and it does us no harm to have a bit depth without having to bring someone else in.

[SteveHFC]

Like how people are pushing infront in the queue.

[MacGruber]

This will be interesting, rarely worked for us last year keatings playing off. Midfield doesn't look very creative and overall Falkirk are playing a weaker Hibs team than they beat at the end of last season. For game 1 shows how light the squad is. Need players.
For balance, it's still a team more than capable of a result.

[john18722]

Has the game got radio commentary?

[erin go bragh]

3-5-2 with Gray and Stevenson in the wing back roll . Imo.

[Billy Whizz]

Starting with 3 at the back

HT 1-1
Decent game
JC could have had a hat-trick
Great strike for Falkirk's goal to be fair

[neil7908]

What's the overall impressions? Are we set up much differently from Stubbs side?

[RoYO!]

Really happy with how we are playing it about. Pressing them v high. Defo the better team. Gray wasteful (for once!) had three crosses straight out in good positions. Keeping a v high line and limiting them to scrappy stuff. They have maybe 3 quality players as far as I can see.

Should have scored more. Shooting towards us in 2nd will hopefully make the difference.

[zlatan]

We're playing fine, final ball is letting us down. Defensively we look comfortable, nothing you can do about conceding a screamer.

Love the addition of Holt making our play so much more unpredictable.

Usual Hibs-Falkirk fare, Hibs by far the better team and Falkirk hanging on by the skin of their teeth.

Hopefully in injury time we'll be in a position where Bob McHugh's usual goal won't matter.

[greenlad]

Look a lot more willing to go direct quickly. Getting a bit joy from balls over the top. Maybe just a tactic for today.

Doing ok.

But untidy in possesion at times but have looker likely a few times. Lost a screamer and a couple of other daft scrambles in the box but on the whole looked fine at the back. Should be a bit easier against the wind as the ball will hold up for the strikers more. Fancy us to win this.

Probably one of our hardest fixtures of the season so anything but a loss is not bad.

FULL-TIME: Falkirk 1-2 Hibernian

[#FromTheCapital]

Not good enough, behind Dunfermline at this stage of the season!

[JimBHibees]

Great result.:flag:

[lucky]

Good result, United drop 2 points at home so a very good start

[Gatecrasher]

Great start, at one of the harder away grounds. Well done!

[DaveF]

3 point better off than last season.

[stoneyburn hibs]

A great start to the season, well done the Cabbage.

[--------]

Steady on people. Even a point would be a good start.

Bit early for the "must win" stuff.


Nope.

It's just as vital to take as many points as we can at this stage of the season as later on.

Good teams treat every match as 'must-win'.

It's no fun playing catch-up.

And well done Hibs for an excellent kick-off to the season. A very happy birthday for the old club.

Fantastic win to start to the season as Falkirk away is arguably the toughest it gets in this league. Big psychological boost after the amount of dodgy decisions and luck that went Falkirks way against us last season.

Well done my bonnie boys - and Callum7 :greengrin

[Flagg]

Good result - great start.

And thanks again for the newsticker.

[Bishop Hibee]

Great start to the season. Cummings scores when he wants 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🔥🔥🔥

Mon the hibees

Wee Jason is vital to our season. Reckon if he stays injury free he could hit 25-30 goals this season.

[Aldo]

3 points is all that matters. Well done Hibs.

Potentially our hardest away game but super start into next week.

Great result, and going by Hibs twitter feed at least, we had a few chances too. Make no mistake Falkirk will be up and about the top of the league this season and will beat teams up near the top too - great away win to start the season. Well done NL, JC and the rest of the team!

Now lets get a good crowd in for the game on Tuesday, get a few goals and go into the Pars game next week full of confidence with 11k+ STs sold!

[BarneyHibby]

Great result. Well Done Hibs!:flag:

Correct Doddie.

Brilliant start to our season. 3 points at a tough venue. Well done to the boys GGTTH:flag:

[Cheshire Hibby]

Well done Edinburgh's finest - good start GGTTH

[Ozyhibby]

Fantastic win. I was worried when I seen the starting line up. Great start at a venue we have struggled at.

Wolves down to 10 men, but equalise to make it 2-2 at Stubbs's Rotherham.

Rothered it

[Callum7]

Looks like Falkirk are getting relagated being just above Ayr in 11th place

[BSEJVT]

Great win, especially considering the shortage of a couple of our first choice midfield.

[Silversand]

Good result for first day of the season.

Onwards & upwards!

[calumhibee1]

Great result. And other than a ten minute spell we absolutely strolled it.
