I thought that was Whittaker at centre back again. Almost screamed on the tram until I saw McGregor and realised you listed full backs first.

Hibs Twitter has the line up more like a 5-4-1.

Should be interesting to see how close Boyle and Mallan are to Kamberi. Could be more like a 3-4-3

Whitts playing is astounding if gray is fit.

Would rather Gray than Whittaker but overall that is a strong team.

Not sure what formation. Maybe Slivka and Boyle Either side of Kamberi? Or Boyle and Kamberi upfront and Mallan playing behind.

Could be Whittaker in midfield with slivka and mallan further forward and Boyle wide right wing back?

If they play Whittaker at holding mid with Ambrose at right back in a 4 I’ll be happier.

Surely got to be Boyle at RWB and Whittaker in midfield?

Ambrose had a shocker last week. Why are we not blasting him for playing?

I'm tempted to put a 5er om whitty as an anytime scorer such as these this go

One striker and Mallan as a 10, yes. Don’t see any reason why we’d pick Whittaker at wing back over Boyle/Gray.

That bench is very weak

If Whitts is playing midfield, dont see grays status as relevant

Think folk are a bitt OTT on the Whittaker criticism

Brilliant.....we are now critisizing players before the game.:rolleyes:Gray was probably our best player last week in Faroes...baffling why he has been dropped for a player who had an absolute shocker last week. I just hope it means Whittaker is holding midfield and nowhere near our defence

Anyway Mon the Hibees and go on Whitts net the 1st goal and prove me wrong pls [emoji23]

Dropped for Boyle (who is a far better wing back and threat than Gray)

I'm surprised by the team.

Boyle is far more effective as a wing back than up top. I'm not sure there is much width in that side but we'll see how it goes.

Surprised Whittaker starts though, I assume he will be in alongside McGinn

Shocked by Whittaker playing has to be said especially after last week.

Except it isnt a fact of course. Pefsonally would have played Gray however he is still coming back from serkos injury and Steven more than capable of playing rwb.

I thought it was a nap Boyle would play up front. Don’t think shaw has done enough in the last two games.

Agree he is more of a threat from out wide. Losing that just highlights how much we need players in.

Definitely, shocked to see him in the line up, perhaps a little harsh but think he's past it especially at this level imo.

We'll see tonight I guess.

Looks to me like Whittaker is at wing back, if he is it's bizarre that Gray hasn't kept his place from last week

Souter96Mac

Decent enough team. Hopefully try and keep it tight at the back, with players who can cause damage: Boyle, McGinn, Mallan, Kamberi and Whittaker

Admittedly I didn't see the runavik away leg but I'm quite mind blown with the criticism of whittaker, thought he played very well towards the end of last season. The general opinion seems to have completely changed after one bad game in a make shift back 3.

As someone already pointed out, it looks like he will be playing defensive mid so comparisons with gray are a bit irrelevant.

Wow, I was just thinking just the opposite. Strong bench. Shaw and Porteous are young but have already shown they can play, Bartley is Bartley, love him, decent keeper, Gray, Swanson the idéal game changer.

Good team with good experience laced through the side tonight. These are the games you need the likes of Steven Whittaker for his game intelligence and experience against these sides, who will try every trick in the book to get decisions and waste time. He also has a very cool head on his shoulders which rubs off on players around him. Hoping for a good performance and a good result tonight. Any win will do, not conceding a huge bonus if we can manage it too :aok:

Hoping SJM scores too just to increase the fee :cb:aok:

Disappointed Gray isn't playing, he did well last week and has always served us well in big games.

Whittaker might be a huge asset, he might be a massive liability depending on where he's playing and how the game goes.

Interesting stuff though, and I can't wait for this one.

Hibs at Easter Road in a European tie - this is the kind of stuff I'm in it for.
