[Onceinawhile]

SUBS | Laidlaw, Crane, McLean, Fyvie, Martin, Keatings, Graham.

As good as we can field imho

[Spudster]

Presumably

Marciano
Gray Forster Ambrose Stevenson
Bartley
Shinnie McGinn Boyle
Holt Cummings

[Diclonius]

Good to see Forster back.

[sleeping giant]

Well...

[JackLadd]

Forster was good vs Edinburgh's second best at Tykecastle.

Let's pump this mob for once!

[makaveli1875]

glad forsters back

[Aldo]

That team should be good enough to win today. Fight for everything don't give them a minutes peace and put the ball in the net!

i would have had Fyvie in place of Bartley but delighted to see Holt in from the start. 3-0 Hibs and Aberdeen in the semi GGTTH.

Fyvie was so poor midweek - probably dropped

[Bostonhibby]

Turn up and put the effort in and this team should be good enough to win.

[BoomtownHibees]

After the last couple of weeks I wouldn't

[Onceinawhile]

Fancy Forster to score today.

Fancy Forster to score today.

For us hopefully.

[InterviewLoI]

Is the game on TV at all?

It's on Hibs TV

[hibsbollah]

Crâne has to be disappointed.

[Super_JMcGinn]

He's been off the pace I know but I think he offers more than big Marv against inferior opposition.

[DaveF]

Surprised neither Crane or Martin are starting.

Quite a few players due a performance today so here's hoping.

[Hibee87]

Fyvie has been pish for games now. I'd rather have Bartley being all over Harkins who always seems to play well against us

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Anyone doing periscope

[Dav1986]

Basically the team that played against hearts after humphrey went off barring the centre backs. Good line up, should see us through. Probably close to the line up we will see against utd too on Friday.

[Colr]

Is Humphries injured?

[Brightside]

So no real reaction to recent poor performances?

[Big_Franck]

Fyvie the only one dropped.

Hope the team turn up today. No point beating Hearts then going out to Ayr. Also an Ugly sisters, sheep and Hibs final four would be worth a few bob.

I just have the app on my phone.

I open it. At the top there is an icon that is the earth (a globe). Click on it and scroll across to Europe and then keep zooming in to Edinburgh and the red dots.

Tam Suttie is the broadcaster if that helps

[Lago]

Are we playing with pace and width:greengrin

[GreenLake]

Seems to be a pattern. A ****ty little club sets off a smoke bomb at the beginning of the game and we score a goal in the Scottish Cup.

Brilliant! Mind and complain bitterly if you miss out on a ticket you didn't want anyhow :wink:

Not a bad game really. Both teams trying to play. Credit to Ayr for still closing down pretty quickly....as are Hibs.

However, a little bit of a lull right now.

[heretoday]

Great peri. Commentary is better than BBC Scotland too!

[SanFranHibs]

Get the feeling we could score a handful today.

Or will be surprised if we don't score more

[Pretty Boy]

Straight 442 working well. Bit pace to the attacks.

Lennon has to decide between Fyvie and McGinn to partner Bartley imo.

[FRes Hibbie]

Hibs tv boys missing that Boyle was onside. Should've been a hibs penalty.

[CMurdoch]

oops

[Pretty Boy]

Oops

What a goal tbf. Sometimes you just have to say fair play.

[SanFranHibs]

Damn...getting close. Getting men in the box but just getting a bit too close at the end.

Only a matter of time until the next :greengrin

[Diclonius]

Fantastic goal, nothing we could do about it.

[GreenLake]

Great goal maybe even best of the season.

[Aldo]

FFS. by the reaction on here it was either a cracker or fluke.

We cannot be letting them back into this game.

[col02]

Brilliant strike from the Ayr player. Good game so far!

[Jim44]

BBC saying we took our foot off the gas and paid the price. Will they never learn?

Periscope is better than Sky, it's just like being there and you don't getallthat"brilliantsave!"stuff when the ball hits the goalie in the face.

Aw naw, it's stopped working now :rolleyes:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Keep the head and keep going. That was a good goal though.

Very poor challenge on McGinn. Waist high is being conservative.

Shocking attitude from the players or tactics from Lennon that has regularly cost us games.

[Super_JMcGinn]

That's rubbish tbf, we were pressing and could easily have scored again.

[GreenLake]

McKenna off. Started with a thug blow to Holt and now he is off for a head on hit on McGinn.

[SanFranHibs]

Ht 2-1

[Bobo]

Poor goal to lose again, standing off inferior players and allowing them a free pop from distance is unacceptable. Everything is still too laboured for my liking, we need to up the pace of the game and impose ourselves more.

Numerical advantage in the 2nd half will hopefully see us create and convert another couple chances.

[Andy74]

That's rubbish tbf, we were pressing and could easily have scored again.

Exactly. We were still playing well, we didn't switch off. It was a great strike.

[Andy74]

Shocking attitude from the players or tactics from Lennon that has regularly cost us games.

Take it you're not here because that's total nonsense.

[Jim44]

Against ten men, we should be too much for them. Mind you, I'll never forget Craig Brown, when manager of Motherwell, and losing a game to a ten man team, greetin' that teams going down to ten men can sometimes have an unfair advantage as they try a bit harder. :greengrin

[wookie70]

​Very good half of football. More movement from Hibs and the best goal I have seen this year from Ayr. Stupid booking Jordon, we can do without Centre Halves getting booked. Holt has been the player most people seem to think he is most weeks. Shinnie playing very well in his natural position. Let's get a ccouple more and give us some confidence for next week

Yep Holt good enough but I watched Shinnie closely today and thought he had one of his best games for us. Never hides and always looking to create something.

Well done that man!

Great result - hope the guys take some confidence from that. Onto next friday - massive game -can't wait!!!

[basehibby]

Forster just isn't for me. Daft turn where he lost it, daft booking. He has good attributes but just makes too many bad decisions.

He's a young UN yet for a centre half. More games and experience will smooth out some rough edges. For now he's a more than able squad member and I'm glad we've got him.

[Smartie]

He's a young UN yet for a centre half. More games and experience will smooth out some rough edges. For now he's a more than able squad member and I'm glad we've got him.

Exactly this.

He has all the attributes but because of injury he has missed out on playing in a large number of games, so he still has the rough edges that go with inexperience.

I really like Forster and hope to see him get more of an opportunity with us.

It's the one downside of us having Ambrose I suppose. When McGregor comes back, and I suppose Hanlon and Fontaine too, I hope it doesn't see Jordon forced out again.

I like Jordan but I don't see that as a downside to having Ambrose, he's a good player that Jordan can learn from. It's up to Jordan to prove he deserves his starting place.
