Graham starts with Holt on bench

STARTING XI | Marciano, Gray, Hanlon, Fontaine, McGinn, Fyvie, Stevenson, Boyle, Shinnie, McGregor, Graham.

Holt and Cummings on bench. Graham starts. If I were Jason and Graham was being played before me I'd be considering my options at this point..

Hopefully he'll realise his best option is to train hard and take his chance when it comes around again.

Why?? 2 entirely different players and Cummings and Boyle would not work as a pairing....

Cummings goes through spells where he doesn't score otherwise he'd be playing every game. Lennon said that if he doesn't score he doesn't offer much to the team. Graham and Boyle must be doing well in training.

[Ryan91]

Graham starts with Holt on bench

Marciano also looks to be starting in goals, thought he was injured?

[Mikey_1875]

Would rather have Cummings in the team tbh but confident we can still do the business

[Pretty Boy]

Graham ahead of Holt is the more baffling decision imo, assuming we have to play a little and large forward line that is.

[where'stheslope]

For me Cummings coming off the bench with 20 or so mins to go, with their tired legs a good chance he could grab a goal.
I think we are already missing Keatings for his work rate and ability to drag defenders out of position.

Was there not talk of Holt taking a slight knock last week.

[lugz]

Why we persist with gray and Stevenson in the current formation is baffling.

[Scouse Hibee]

People were complaining last week that Holt doesn't score enough,Graham has shown a few tidy finishes since he joined us so seems reasonable to give him a chance in a similar role to Holt.

[Col2]

Odd selection but hope I and others are wrong.

Must have been working well in training.

If we don't win today then NL leaving his best striker on the bench will bite him on the backside big time.

Couldn't tell if Graham scoring was a prediction or actual goal. It's even more muted on the alternative match day thread. Lennon will be posting shortly asking for a little more enthusiasm :greengrin

[Unseen work]

Fair play Neil.

Iv said for a couple of weeks he should start ahead of holt as he is a bit more mobile.

All we need is Cummings back in and Boyle out wide

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Cummings on the bench again is a joke sorry if that's not popular opinion. The fact Graham has scored isn't here or there in the Cummings situation.

Yes, constantly. Having to switch between primary and backup player

Well done graham and hibs hopefully early goal settle the nerves and we can push iwn from here. NL obviously doesnt see JC workig hard enough in training and its his opinion I trust he sees them every day

How many chances is Boyle going to miss?

Also Stevenson is absolutely brilliant at rattling the ball off the 1st man. 5 times today already with pinpoint accuracy

[mcfly]

That's Boyle missed 2 sitters

1 on 1 with keeper both times

Should be game over

[h1bee123]

Hibs radio, WTF is going on? cutting off all the time, anybody else?

Cutting out every minute. Keep having to change from primary player to back up player. I had already recently cancelled my subscribtion as I think the service offered should be better and this just confirms it to me.

[MacGruber]

Cummings has done nothing for ages so there is no situation, but im sure you know better than the manager

I know he is our number 1 striker. Done nothing in ages.... and still our top scorer. Not surprising.

[cookin_on_gaz]

[blackpoolhibs]

That has to be miss of the season from Boyle, pehaps he was just shell shocked Stevenson managed to get a cross in. :greengrin

[Ryan91]

Pretty decent first half all things considered, Though we should be up by more than two. Utd drawing at Morton

[Allant1981]

I know he is our number 1 striker. Done nothing in ages.... and still our top scorer. Not surprising.

No he is our best goalscorer not our best striker, he needs to do more in games than what he has been doing, gets dropped because he hasnt been playing well, team winning games so hasnt had a look in yet. No big deal

[neil7908]

Playing well but should be up by 4 or 5. Boyle has been lively but has missed a hatrick of sitters

[Green Reaper]

Has been happening to me all game. Listening on Samsung and need to keep logging out then back in again

Also on Samsung and it''s annoying as hell. Kept reloading page and got it back rather than log out and in again

[Ardenttwo]

Jamie Insall scores again

[Pretty Boy]

Cummings would have scored at least 2 of the chances missed by boyle IMO

He would have had to have gotten in the positions in the 1st place as well. At least 1 came from the kind of chasing down Boyle excels at.

[Ronniekirk]

Boyle should have had the game wrapped up. 2 one v ones and a lob. Not good enough.

We dont have a striker who performs consistently well week in week out hence the rotation of strikers just now Hopefully Boyle goes on to score in this one though so Lennon s faith in him is rewarded
Cummings has always been the player to consistently score for long periods then have a barren spell but he would always bounce back
Lennon seems tohave decided Cummings doesnt bring enough to the team outwith scoring and as long as we keep winning and scoring. he can justify that call

[superfurryhibby]

So far so good. Hibs firmly in control, creating chances and looking like they will go on to score more. Graham has been useful and Boyle is getting into scoring positions, should have had at least one and probably should have scored more.

Defence is pretty solid, Shinnie is prominent and looking to create. Mc Ginn and Fyvie working hard and stifling Queens attempts at going forward.

[Diclonius]

Keatings reckons he will be back next week.

[Smartie]

Stevenson's having a good game.

Yes, he hit the first man once or twice but he's had some really good touches, been excellent in possession and put 2 cracking deliveries in.

[GreenLake]

I was wondering if Holt was suspended like his peer Ibrahimovic.

[IberianHibernian]

Reasonable first half against weak opposition . Hope Keatings is back soon since put him in for Boyle today and it could be 5 v 0 or even 6 .

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Cutting out every minute. Keep having to change from primary player to back up player. I had already recently cancelled my subscribtion as I think the service offered should be better and this just confirms it to me.

Agreed.

It's a lifeline for me as I can't make games at ER, shoddy service most of the time but having said that I could never bring myself to listen to that woeful yam/hun loving Sportsound :grr:

[Ronniekirk]

Am happy with the score so far We wont go on to loose this one and looks like we are more than capable of increasing our lead

[wookie70]

Hopefully get a third quickly and give Jason a chance to come back in. Boyle is a wide man for me. Far too many chances squandered. Graham much have a good goal to minutes played ratio. He should keep quiet about it though as we clearly don't like goalscorers at ER

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Hibs radio site completely gone offline now, an absolute disgrace.

Update. Back on now.

[Unseen work]

No he wasnt, he was poor for ages when starting games

What part are you disagreeing with?

He is our top goal scorer and has about 8? That is about double any of our other strikers. So you can't say he wasn't scoring.

He won player of the month?

[Unseen work]

Are you another one that knows better than the manager? :rolleyes:

Not looking to turn this into an argument because I kind of get where you're coming from.
Jason Cummings is the best striker at hibs though - by a distance. If you think different then fair enough, we seen it different.

Excellent today

[Bishop Hibee]

First half was a strange one. I thought we were better against Falkirk yet went in 2-0 up and it could have been 5. Second half we were excellent and totally dominated. Bring on Utd!

[J-C]

Stroll today, team looks balanced and settled, starting to look confident, the composure by them is good

[green day]

3 points ahead, and Utd have to beat us by 10 goals or something to go top.

[Skol]

you dont get how goal difference works when the 2 teams in question play each other do you.....a 4-0 will even things out !!!

Hands up.......I'm drinking, can I delete my post 😁

[Super_JMcGinn]

They weren't sitters, stop making stuff up. Keeper did really well both times.

They looked like sitters to me too, what more does a striker want than a 1 on 1 with the keeper 9 yards out? Cummings would have buried both imo. I think Boyle is a great sub to come on with his pace.

[ClewsHibs]

Had Hibs 5-0. Ffs

[Northernhibee]

So a win against Dundee United next time round puts us top by six.

[killie-hibby]

Great to see Desmond making a surprise appearance today.
Older netters like me will remember him well.

[greiggy]

Today's shut out and Spurs losing 2-1 means we have the best defensive record in the uk. Good day all round.

Good win today, Utd dropping points.... all looking good this weekend.

[monktonharp]

Game has totally died in the last 10 minutes, not even training pace.

don't know if you report/post the action on the park, while at the game Pretty Boy but I concur wholeheartedly with all of the posts, having been at the match.:aok: for that reason, you are welcome to join us on our bus to Dundee in a fortnight.:greengrin

At the game, I thought that was evident as soon as Fyvie and McGinn left the pitch. Both were really good today.

[theonlywayisup]

My take on the 'Cummings' debate - I think Jason Cummings is a great goalscorer, but all this talk of "Jason would have scored that one" is meaningless. He's played in the last two games and (albeit with only limited time on the pitch) has contributed the square root of nothing! Boyle has taken his spot and has scored one and has got himself into great positions only for the goalie to save 2 or 3 well hit efforts. It's now up to Jason to convince our manager that he deserves a spot in the team. I'm not sure he's done that yet!

[Brightside]

how much defending did Gray and Lewie do? A handfull of tackles if you are lucky. But we look at the bench and we have NO wingers, NO width. I really hope we sign two decent wide players and then start battering teams.

[nonshinyfinish]

That's not what sitter means. Yes, a striker should score a one-on-one more often than not. Yes, Boyle should have scored more than one yesterday. But sitter doesn't just mean 'should score' it means 'harder not to score'.

You'll need to direct us to where this definition of sitter comes from.

True, looking back my post is a little on the prescriptive side, but in 25 years following football I've never heard sitter used to mean anything other than 'really, really easy chance'. I guess now I have.

A 1 on 1 with the keeper doesn't constitute a sitter it means it's a 1 on 1 with the keeper. A sitter is what Cummings missed against Raith and that was one of the worst sitters I've seen anyone in a Hibs strip miss. You need to reset your perspective.

[Smartie]

I think a one on one with the keeper is a sitter.

A sitter is an easy chance, whether it is running in on goal, a chance from a good cross or whatever.

As I saw it, Boyle missed 4 sitters yesterday. But he plugged away, got his goal and he can be happy with his afternoon's work. It should also be said that Boyle's natural pace make these chances sitters - other players they might be half chances at best or not chances at all.

The one I had most sympathy with him on was the bad one from the Stevenson cross in the first half. I don't think he expected it to reach him, he adjusted his stride late and it was actually a lot trickier than it looked.

If I were him though I'd be staying back after training (and getting one of the keepers to as well) and practice running in on goal from the halfway line. He's missed a few of these in recent weeks and if he started taking more of these chances he'd score a bucketload.

Good player though and he's doing well for us right now.

[21.05.2016]

Thats exactly what we should be doing to teams in this league, winning comfortably. QoS were a far cry from the team they were at the start of the season, they created next to nothing today, never looked like scoring at all. The fact we missed so many chances and still won 4-0 says it all about the one sided nature of the game.

Big game next against Utd and a chance to give ourselves a more comfortable lead at the top. The more we can start to pull away the more pressure mounts on Utd and hopefully it gives us a psychological edge. Long way to go obviously (and lets face it hibs are hardly known for doing things the easy way!) but I reckon over the course of the season Utd will drop more points than us.

Disagree, I'd imagine the term "Sitter" is a shortened version of the phrase "Sitting duck"! It's probably out there somewhere. With the keeper still guarding the goal I don't think you could describe it as a sitter.

[Just Alf]

I've always figured a sitter is something EVEN I could score, a one on one with the keeper is a great chance that a player "should" score with but the keeper does have some input in the final outcome:D

:agree:

Your definition is spot on.

This thread has descended into a very tedious semantics debate.

[Highland_Hibee]

It's easy to sit in the stand and criticise one on one situations but it's hardly as simple as just putting it in the net. The chance Keatings missed at the end of the SC derby replay at ER is more what I would call a "sitter".

Probably heard that we had a squirrel on the pitch, too fast for him tho'. Or up from Leicester on a trip round the underdogs stadia, heard he was going to visit Chicago Cubs, but, when Trump got elected, he thought better of it .!!
