I'd like to give Hyndman some game time. The lad looks like he has ability, and it'd be good to try and get him up to speed as quick as we can.

This will never be the team but if love to see us try it.

Any goalie

Gray Ambrose Hanlon Stevenson
Boyle slivka bartley mallan Horgan
Kamberi

Obviously boyle and Horgan both as out and out wingers willing to get into the box when we get forward.

What's folks opinions on that? Good or bad I'm not bothered like I said it will never happen!

It's sort of the formation I've thought recently would maybe work to get Boyle and Gray in the team, although I'd tweak it a bit to be more of a 4-2-3-1 with Slivka and Marv sitting deeper and Mallan as a 10.

Pretty sure MacLaren and Hyndman will both play.

Think there will be another one or two changes. Not sure who will drop out but wouldn’t be surprised to see Whittaker play.

[Lancs Harp]

Its a bit of guess work but wouldnt expect anyone not 100% fit to start so would be really surprised to see Flo start.

[Hermit Crab]

Is Horgan eligible to play tomorrow?


Yes he is if clearance is received.

The winger has penned a three year deal with the club and will, subject to international clearance, be available for selection for Sunday's Ladbrokes Premiership clash with St Johnstone.

Not sure but just think Lennon will use the squad ahead of Thursday. Possibly Gray or Bartley.

[sean04]

Maybe rest boyle?

The way NL spoke on Thursday night after the game suggested that Whittaker might get a slot. He was not slow to agree that he would need to rotate the starting XI.
Not that he spoke to me mind. Couldn't claim that. He was speaking through the car radio.

I think NL will rest players with niggles but there wont be wholesale changes. If we win tomorrow we are joint top of the league so we must go all out for the 3 points.

Missed that, if SW plays then it has to be a deep role, he just hasn't got the legs anymore.

Can play right back fine in my opinion

[Lancs Harp]

Can play right back fine in my opinion

He's ok unless he gets exposed 1 on 1 with someone who has pace. Whitty at fullback is a bit of a concern for me to be honest.

[truehibernian]

Can play right back fine in my opinion

He can play there but he gives me the fear these days in the full back position Billy. If Whitty plays anywhere on the pitch it has to be just above the centre halves in a 4-4-2 - he simply gets targeted if he plays full back and anyone that plays genuine width he just doesn't have the legs. I still rate him, but as a defensive midfielder only.

What I can't abide is the stick he gets from the stands on occasion. One thing you can never ever doubt is his commitment and effort, and his will to win. I can't mind the game last season, one of the post split games, but in the second half of it he drove the team forward and constantly talked the guys next to him through the game which saw us win it. His experience is vital at times.

Win 2-0 tomorrow and we’re top of the league, that is out main priority along with the domestic cups, Europe is a cheeky bonus so the strongest team we can play taking into account a little rotation for rest/game time etc...

The way the draw has panned out, Europe is more than a cheeky bonus now.

We are potentially 3 games away from making a serious amount of money. And having some seriously big games to attend. If we lose tomorrow we have 36 games to recover from it. If we lose on Thursday it’s game over. Molde away is the biggest game we have this week.

Absolutely. If we had lost heavily last Thursday then we should concentrate on the St Johnstone game. But we didn't.

We looked pretty leggy towards the end of the Molde game, unsurprising really considering the amount of travelling the team have done in the past three weeks.

Kamberi will definitely be rested IMO.

Expecting both Horan and Hyndeman to start - I suspect Boyle may also be given a rest.

I’d try and rest as many of the starters for Thursdays game as possible, not that I want to see us lose or drop points today but I think it’s so early in the season that we have plenty time to make up for it if we did and Thursdays game is more important for me.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

With The Rangers, Celtc and Aberdeen dropping points in their 1st couple of games, 3 points today is quite important.

[Hibeewilly]

Agree 100%. Lennon is a winner and will want to be sitting on top of the league tonight. Kamberi I can see being rested and possibly Gray but apart from them I think he will select his strongest team. Horgan has just arrived so I doubt he will start him but Hyndman is a cert to start IMO. 2-0 Hibees to take us above our friends across the city. GGTTH

[Albanian Hibs]

MacLaren to start with Shaw. Kamberi needs to be rested, didnt look fit on Thurs.

[Billy Whizz]

I think this will be our front 2 today as well

[number9dream]

Hyndman to start - getting close to the strikers. Horgan to get 20-30 mins.
It could be a scrap in the rain, with Saints players getting a roasting from Tommy Wright last weekend.

[G B Young]

If the weather's as bad in Perth as it is in Edinburgh it's going to be an extremely soggy affair.

Were on the train past stirling, dry but overcast. No doubt ill take one step off the train and the heavens will open, and ill just have to step into a pub, to keep warm and dry of course.

I agree. Any kind of win today would be great. No need to worry about being top of the league at this stage. I also think getting through against Molde is more important than making progress in the League Cup. No reason we can't do both, but if we were to get through the Molde tie we should definitely rest a good number of players v Ross County.

He can’t as he wasn’t registered before the 1st leg. Haaland was, so if his transfer hasn’t gone through, he can play on Thursday
