I think these guys are absolutely key to us winning on Sunday , if big Marv and fyvie sit to allow mginn to take us forward I think we will give them a lot to think about. Picking the 2 others to play further forward with jase will be tough as these guys are going to have to work very hard . Think I'd go holt right up too with Cummings and Boyle in behind helping out the midfield

I think Marv is crucial every game, not just the "big" games.

When we are playing against teams that just sit in, the chance they have from scoring will either be a counter attack or a set piece.

Marv would of one of the biggest players in our team.

He also stops a lot of counter attacks on his own, and I would bet good money if he was playing on Saturday he would of stopped that attack.

Our midfielders looked uninterested that a guy ran half the pitch and closing in our goal. It looked like they thought "he won't score, the defence and goalie will deal with it"

I would play those 3 without a doubt. Plus either Humphrey or Boyle with JC and Holt up front. 442.

If it's a diamond I think Keatings would play, a flat four would, IMO, possibly see one of Barts or Fraser missing out as don't I like the idea of McGinn wide left.

A diamond could also be a bit naive considering Hearts play with plenty of width.

IF Hanlon had been fit I think he would have went 352. After Sat I've no idea but I have to admit to great concerns overplaying a diamond and unfortunately Fontaine, harsh as that sounds.

I would certainly have Humphrey in the squad . I see few folk haven't taken to him, he is a typical winger who will either be brilliant or poor. If things aren't working for us on Sunday I'd like the option of bringing him on, maybe even in the centre forward position

I'd have no problems with Boyle in there. His pace is electric and he can maintain it for the full 90.

Shinnie has been hit or miss for me, but he's capable of finding a killer pass in the final 3rd better than Boyle and if he's on his game would be an asset.

Guess it depends how they're doing in training and what Lennon assesses from there - we need 11 players hell bent on winning.

Their Goalie is absolutely murder dealing with crosses...so playing wingers is essential!

Is McGeouch not able to play for the derby ?
Bartley sitting behind Fyvie and McGeouch while SJM playing ahead is our best midfield right now.

I agree with this, 100%.

For me, there is only one position up for grabs on Sunday - the other ten are as close to being set in stone as one can possibly assume.

The ten:

Laidlaw, Gray, Stevenson, McGregor, Fontaine, Bartley, Fyvie, Mcginn, Cummings, Holt.

The one:

McGeough, Shinnie, Keatings, Boyle or Forster (if he pays a back 5).

I'd be astounded if the team was anything else (That includes Humphrey starting).

Humphrey had a terrible game on Saturday but if he's fit (if) he's still an excellent option to have off the bench.

Although I'd be tempted to go 3-5-2, so there isn't really a position for him to play in my starting line-up.

Laidlaw

Forster McGregor Fontaine

Gray Bartley Stevenson

Fyvie (or McGeouch) McGinn

Holt Cummings

The pace of Boyle and Humphrey may be key late in the game.

Big Marv is also happy to give an opponent a kick when needs be. Something none of the other midfielders do. Not very pretty but that Ayr player should have been taken out well before he was in a position to shoot.

For me I'd play Bartley sitting defensive mid, with fyvie on the right, Dylan in the centre and Mcginn on the left of a narrow 3 in front of him.

Hence my comment on "if fit".

The player who burned Paul Dixon for pace a month ago was quick, the one outrun by Paul Cairney was not.

If he has the same level of fitness as he had on Saturday then he shouldn't even be near the bench.

wingers are not essential. The boy Hamilton looks fine handling cross balls into an uncongested box. It appears to be corners that he fluffs at when he is surrounded by players as their defence are not great headers of the ball.

The PBS is narrow, I would prefer an extra midfielder than a left winger. Sturna at RB looks solid but their new LB can be caught out of position. i watched then against the huns and Well, that Greek bloke in midfield looked quality if somewhat slow as did the French guy. So need to play at a high pace from the KO.

Start the team in the same formation that started against Dundee United with McGinn replacing Commons & Fontaine replacing Hanlon (if not fit).

I'd start McGeouch which would leave Fyvie as back up if Dylan doesn't perform

how good is mcginn at going past a man he just ghosts past them as if they're not there. I would have him as far forward as possible because I genuinely believe that hearts will know how easily he goes past players and will try to counter that. This will leave them further back and less likely to try and push forward as I fell they'll try and mark him out of the game.

Boyle for me is key for speed. Do we start with him for 60 minutes then bring on Humphteys if and when Boyle tires to keep the pressure on Hearts or do we we start with Humphries and bring Boyle
On for last 30 minutes against a tiring defence???

Dylan for me should start as he is without doubt a playmaker as should JC cause he really loves a goal against them.

Decisions decisions decisions, not sure what formation NL will go with but I'd like Hibs to score first as they've not been tested yet at going behind since new players come in. Not sure why but I think 3-1 Hibs as I said if we score first new ground for them and they'll press forward leaving space for us to exploit.

I thought McGinn looked like he'd found an extra yard of pace on Saturday.

He is brilliant at getting the ball deep and driving at players and opening things up.

Never understand why you'd have McGeouch on the bench, if he's fit he plays that simple. Big Marv is very limited but in certain games where you need a bit of steel he's perfect.

Laidlaw

Gray McGregor Fontaine Stevenson

Bartley

McGeouch Fyvie McGinn

Holt Cummings.

You can always shake it up by bringing Boyle, Keatings and Humphrey on to add pace and width.

Think Marv said on the DVD video, that in the replay at ER llast season, the Hearts players were shaking in the tunnel, after the Hibs player starting shouting. Same again please

Holt must play.The photograph of Jason's goal on Saturday is instructive.The goalie can't get out for Holt,who is not obstructing him just in the right place,a centre half is marking Holt,another one is just hitting the deck and Jason has a free header.Not all coincidences.

I tend to agree. Your point about occupying defenders is a good one and Holt is also adept at knocking good through balls in behind for Cummings to run onto. His discipline does worry me though.

If we do play Holt then it should be a back 3 and that would mean a midfield of McGeouch, Fyvie and McGinn for me. Same as Scottish Cup final and we can change later if required

I thought in the first game of the season at Falkirk that Holt and Cummings looked the ideal pairing.It hasn't quite worked out but to me the fault lies with Lennon for too much unnecessary tinkering as the season has gone on.Holt played better through balls and released players more often than the various midfielders combined on Saturday tray in his 45 minutes.

06-02-2017, 08:58 PM
McGeouch if fit simply has to start. He makes us tick and controls the tempo of our play. Bartley also has to play IMO as he's usually outstanding in matches like this. McGinn and Fyvie in between McGinn and Bartley.

Holt and cummings up top. Cummings always turns up against hearts and this is the kind of game I feel Holt will be useful in. Winding up the opposition whilst putting himself about and giving us a physical presence up top. Would've liked to see Humphrey and Boyle running at their full backs though. Tough choice but Lennon has to get it spot on after Saturday's shambles.
