When Hibs were relegated in the late 90', after the home deafeat to Stranraer, every week thereafter you could feel the momentum and confidence in the team growing until we became eventual champions.

Right now, you could apply this to Dundee United. Can any of you honestly say this could apply to Hibs right now?

I can, Big time.

If (and it's a big IF) United go 8 clear in two games then confidence and momentum will make them unstoppable IMHO.

This is not defeatism, it's just something I've seen regularly in nearly 4 decades of following football.

I guess we are now unstoppable then. :)

They have Raith (H), Falkirk (A) and Morton (H) next 3 games.

Make or break for them. They need at least 6 points from those or they will be finished as title contendors.

To be fair there is probably every chance JC will join Rangers in the summer but he sure as hell aint going nowhere in this window , And if he can get us out this mickey mouse league and we get a Million plus for him then he goes with my blessing.

No chance he'll join The Rangers this window or summer. He's heading south.

That's them calling for Ray McKinnon to be sacked on the Utd fans forum.

Fools. Everything was fine a few weeks ago. A couple of reality checking results and the toys are out of the pram.

They are second and I expect they'll pull further clear of Morton and Falkirk after next weeks fixtures. It is the best they can hope for. Sacking McKinnon would be a ridiculous decision.

They are victims of their own delusions built on the back of some temporary form.

Agreed, but think they will struggle over 2 legs against Morton.

Can you tell us how Sevco would fund his transfer in the summer then? Based on their farcical attempt at transfer terms for the York City goalkeeper, how well do you think they would do in a negotiation with Rod Petrie?

The Rangers really are toiling for what it's worth. Cummings wants a crack down south and Hibs wouldn't imo sell him to them anyway.

Well when he was with Raith they were in relegation places until at Xmas then they went on long unbeaten run. Seems to either get it right or wrong big time.

We were the same. Our manager was getting grief only a few weeks ago too.

I think utd are just going through a sticky patch the same as we were no so long back.
Hopefully we continue to take full advantage if we do the league could be all but won by the end of Feb

They may have peaked Overhauling over 8 point lead would have given them momentum But it was whether they could sustain that and they failed to do that and havent added a player of Humphreys quality to thier squad
Think our win without Commons was crucial and puts us back in the Driving seat
Our defence is keeping clean sheets which is the foundation to help is go on and win games
Only wee issue is the last three away wins have only produced 4 goals Its been enough at thtee tricky awsy grounds but would still like to see us score more and that Performance v Dundee United repeated a few more times
Lennon said he would make us hard to beat and he has achieved that
He also said we should be scoring more goals and thats still work in progress
Cant see United going on another long unbeaten run and if they dont win a game soon we will have opened up a ten point plus gap which i dont see us throwing away

I said when Dundee Utd beat us 1-0 they were a poor side and their still a poor side. They won't come up this year, they won't even make the final of the playoffs, Morton, Falkirk or whoever, will beat them as they seem to be more up for a scrap.

The league is not won yet my friend. But we are on track and have a great chance now. Looking good for us though.

Absolutely spot on. We cant allow any complacency to creep in. We've already seen big turnarounds in points differences this year from both Clubs:top marks

If Utd lost Tony Andreu to injury they would be completely gubbed, we are at least in them position where losing a key player won't ruin our season. If they didn't have Andreu they would be nowhere near us and probably scrapping around for 4th place.

As it is they do have him and we still have to be wary.

The more pragmatic Arabs around here didn't expect anything more than a second place finish but there is a difference between saying that out loud and thinking it. Based on the games this season I am hearing papering over the cracks said an awful lot. Also hearing that based on what they have right now, straight back up would mean straight back down.

Since Christmas, when Utd were top and 2 points ahead, they have managed to pick up a further 2 points. Hibs on the other hand have amassed 12 points in the same period. Keep doing what we are doing and the league will be tied up mid April at the latest, although I think it will be done around the end ofMarch

On BBC rumours page that Utd will be due £1m from any Robinson transfer that happens. That's a worry if they let the manager near it. Could make them more of a threat. Doubt the manager will see much of that though.

They're going to have to get their arse in gear if they're going to benefit this window from a transfer which 'could' happen in the next 15 hours.

10% sell on clause is poor form and I would hope we did better than that on any transfers "out". With the sales of Snodgrass and Robertson it looks like Hull have already started planning for next year as a Championship club or their owner is just cashing in before he sells the club.

I've no idea what the rules are regarding this. Maybe hoping Commons gets a pay off and give him a good signing on fee? For the record can't see it happening and may be one to settle the fans by saying we tried to get him.

I remember posting this as a possible but unlikely scenario -

Commons' wage - £12k per week
Loan to Hibs. We contribute £2k. Celtic save £2k but Commons gets full wage.
Loan to D Utd. They contribute £4k. Celtic keep £3k and give Commons £1k as an incentive Win/win for Celtic and Commons.

Unlikely as I can't see DU paying that sort of cash but I think that's the sort of wheeling and dealing that'll be going on today.

Commons is in the driving seat here.
He stays he goes to hibs he gets the same.
He does not need to get involved in games.
Lets not kid ourself there is no other championship side he is going to .
