Hibernian v St Johnstone

[Pretty Boy]

So back to business.

Wednesday means Hearts didn't pull further away from us, today is a big chance to close the gap. Huge game.

C'mon Hibs:flag::nlgwa

[Billy Whizz]

Looking forward to seeing how we shape up

[Callum_62]

St J won 3 on the bounce - hard game

Really need 3 points here

Like Wednesday you mean? What’s your concern?

[Diclonius]

I don't get Milligan instead of McGregor at centre back.

[Speedway]

Daz AND Ryan on the bench.

Still no Hanlon, SDG, Wee Tam

Kamberi suspended

Nelom not selected.

[BoomtownHibees]

Playing Milligan at Centre Half when there’s 2 on the bench is strange

[The 90+2]

Why is Daz dropped? That makes no sense as he was our best player the other evening.

[Allant1981]

Playing Milligan at Centre Half when there’s 2 on the bench is strange

maybe we are in for a surprise and its a back 3 of whittaker, ambrose and stevenson with bartley and milligan sitting in front

[Lewiehas2]

Confused why Porteous has been dropped recently. Fair enough if for Hanlon but not for Milligan who was good in midfield

[Hibs90]

Must be a fitness thing with Daz that is the only thing I can think of.

[The 90+2]

Like Wednesday you mean? What’s your concern?

The concern may be that we’ve signed a player who can’t get into a depleted side perhaps? Whittaker’s fine for me though but I see that point of view.

[Hibs90]

Confused why Porteous has been dropped recently. Fair enough if for Hanlon but not for Milligan who was good in midfield

Also this.

It’s a very weird team and decisions but in Neil we trust and if we win it’s all good.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

4 ex Hibs in the St J squad today. Two starting (Craig and Kennedy), what could possibly go wrong?

[BoomtownHibees]

The concern may be that we’ve signed a player who can’t get into a depleted side perhaps? Whittaker’s fine for me though but I see that point of view.

Nothing to do with that. The poster has an obsession in saying how bad Whittaker is, nothing else

[B.H.F.C]

The concern may be that we’ve signed a player who can’t get into a depleted side perhaps? Whittaker’s fine for me though but I see that point of view.

The poster quoted is a pretty big critic of Whittaker so I don’t think that is his reason for the concern. I could be wrong on that though.

[H18S NX]

Another change in team selection,strange.

[Ryan91]

Think Porteous has a niggling injury.

[Brightside]

Very odd lineup.

[BoomtownHibees]

Not really strange that there is another change following Wednesday night. It’s what the changes are that are a bit strange

[teabag]

Milligan at centre back again does seem a strange choice but looking forward to seeing Horgan and Boyle either side of MacLaren. Presume it'll be more of a 3 rather than leaving MacLaren up front alone

[B.H.F.C]

Another change in team selection,strange.

Don’t think it’s strange. There were always going to be a number of changes after Wednesday. Kamberi being out changes a lot as well IMO.

Not many attacking options on the bench. Think we need another striker in January, Kamberi or Mclaren gets injured and we are toiling up front

[Mr Grieves]

Get that ****** water off, it's hitting us in the FF lower

[Danderhall Hibs]

why, he was fine against hearts

He’s getting in early. He’s now going to focus on everything Whittaker does and criticise it. When someone else makes a mistake he’s going to tell us all how Whittaker contributed to it.

It’s what the modern day coach does.

[Mr Grieves]

I like the look of that team if it's a 451/433

[Conj]

Is Porteous 1 yellow away from a ban? Could he be getting held back to prevent a suspension while Hanlon is out?

[wookie70]

Another week, another new look defense, midfield and forward line. Injuries are really crippling our chances of getting anything like a settled team.

[hibsbollah]

This is a big game, with the huns winning too and with the nonsense from Wednesday. We need to win and win well and get behind the manager.

[makaveli1875]

Cant afford to be dropping any points today

C'mon the hibees

[I'm_cabbaged]

Is Porteous 1 yellow away from a ban? Could he be getting held back to prevent a suspension while Hanlon is out?

Don’t play him so he doesn’t get suspended?

[where'stheslope]

We seem to be unlucky this season with teams on losing runs, get a win just before they play us?
Still will settle for 2-0!!!

[Danderhall Hibs]

Don’t play him so he doesn’t get suspended?

:hilarious I can’t see the logic either.

Don’t play him so he doesn’t get suspended?

Just a suggestion, not saying that is the reason.

[Allant1981]

well that wasn't the best of halfs

[Jones28]

Things just not falling for us. Horgan has been busy but ineffective. Hibs play their best stuff with Hyndman and Mallan at the edge of the box. Marv has been a bear as ever, letting nothing through.

Saints hit the bar early on with a real cracker of a shot, other than that Bogdan has been quiet and really wants to get things going when he gets the ball.

Hope we liven it up in the 2nd.

[AgentDaleCooper]

Horgan seems to have tallent but no brains. Would rsther have shaw on supporting maclaren, especially since we seem so determined to cross it into the box when our front three are short-erses.

[Golden Bear]

45mins of utter boredom. Very predictable considering the team selection. Things can only get better !

[Delboy4]

Are we shooting into the FF second half? Doonhill for us auld guys! Always think we play better 😂

[Mr Grieves]

St Johnstone playing narrow and are well organised. We've had many opportunities to cross but the final ball has been pish.

[wookie70]

We really lacked fluency and movement for large parts of the half. St Johnstone have as good a shape as I have seen at ER this year. Really well drilled and play like a team. We are suffering from never fielding the same team twice. I'll settle for another dull half and a goal from 30 yards from Mallan. Cmon hibs

Get Ryan on for Milligan, put Horgan left, Boyle right, bring Shaw on for Hyndman, go two up front and get the ball wide and then into the box.

That's how we'll score.

Really really poor. Slow and predictable from the start. The classic "how to beat Hibs" game.sit in an watch Hibs pass the ball and wait for the defence to make a mistake and we duly obliged. 1 point in our last 3 games is poor

[Callum_62]

Lennon summed it up when the camera cut to him after St Johnstones goal

"We have been absolutely pathetic"

I cant disagree - we got exactly what we deserve. We would've got away with one to get a draw

Dunno what Mcgregor is thinking about with the Free kick, and the defending from it is shocking - Milligan left with 2 men

The whole team looked so lethargic. With Hearts dropping points and Killie Aberdeen tomorrow, this was a huge game for us and we totally blew it

I thought he was fine defensively but really poor going forward. I don’t recall Milligan doing much wrong but I’ve no idea who was closest to the ball when it went in.

I do not understand why we don’t go back to the team that was doing so well pre-Celtic with ambrose+Porteous and Milligan in front? Until Hanlon comes back that is our best combination, even if it results in Bartley dropping out.

I don’t accept that, we should be able to put up a better display than that at home, had absolutely nothing to offer todayit's not an acceptance at all. I'm just saying that time and again we see the Edinburgh teams get beat after the derby.

Back out working, my thoughts...very poor with absolutely zero spark. I like Milligan but get him in the middle where he's a better influence, Whittaker is finished, Hyndman looks disinterested, Horgan is the new headless chicken and we're desperate for a creative Allan type in the team, plus the squad is looking very thin. At the moment we look like mid table mediocrity.

[MWHIBBIES]

Bizarre to blame Whittaker, we got much worse when he went off.

[B.H.F.C]

We had a fairly settledd team and shape and were winning.

Too much tinkering in the last few games. No need to play Milligan at centre half.

Really can't disagree with anything you've said, weird team selection today, can't see the ryme or reason for it.

load of pish as usual

Some of these players simply aren’t good enough.

apart from the fact whittaker was ok again, horgan was the only one who looked to go past a player, milligan played well again at CH, hyndman apart from his shot that went wide was not so good ill agree there

1 from 6 points against St J is pathetic comming at the back of a poor result midweek against a weakened Hearts side. There will be harder games ahead and Lennon needs to rethink.

[Smartie]

Some of these players simply aren’t good enough.

All of the players are good enough individually but they don't form much of a team together.

Players like Hyndman, Horgan and McLaren are clearly all good players but they've all had some bad games and we don't look like we know what to do with them.

Given we've not had many games lately and Lennon's had plenty of time with the squad, it really is unacceptable that we can look that disjointed.

Kamberi has proven his worth to us once again, this time by being absent.

[Heisenberg]

Whittaker had an absolute shocker going forwards, every cross or pass was misplaced or overhit. McGregor should have done much better for their goal.

I’ve no idea why Lennon hasn’t brought Porteuos back in. Milligan is much better than Marv in the midfield.

Really really poor. Slow and predictable from the start. The classic "how to beat Hibs" game.sit in an watch Hibs pass the ball and wait for the defence to make a mistake and we duly obliged.

:agree: Possession 62% HFC v 38% St J. Then late sucker punch after Hibs conceded a free kick around the box once too often.
