Why are people assuming Gray and Hanlon will both be back?

Bogdan
Whittaker
Ambrose
Porteous
Stevenson
Milligan
Mallan
Hyndman
Boyle
Kamberi
Maclaren

If Gray and Hanlon are both fit then they both come in for Whittaker and Porteous.

[silverhibee]

A winning team that can get 3 pts will do me.

Hope it's not cold on Friday night.:thumbsup:

This. And I reckon this is close to our best 11 if not that. Agyepong to come on later for Horgan or Boyle and maybe Bartley with Milligan if we are clinging on late in the game.

[Stuart93]

Please play maclaren and kamberi together, proven strikeforce and we’re desperately needing goals

[Franck Stanton]

Just an observation of team selections posted so far, not one has included Bartley, seems strange as was captain in last two games and his general play has been of a very high standard.

Oops I stand corrected your quite right.

[HibeeDaz6270]

Oops I stand corrected your quite right.

Bartley should not be in our starting 11 unless we have players out. He has had decent games in the last 2 matches, but its also been our 2 worst performances of the season.

We need to get Milligan back in to that role and let others go out and play and create.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Hopefully wee Agyepong close to a return. Could have done with his flair on Saturday

[Brooster]

Probably because we hardly ever win when he plays.

That’s the one that would cope best with Mackay-Steven I reckon. He seems to love playing against us

Efes had him in his pocket the last 3 or 4 games

[Franck Stanton]

For what it's worth, I agree, just pointed out his ommission from teams selected by posters.

Reading that Hanlon should be available, and if he is, I reckon that might be the strongest available team.

Given the effort that went in to getting the front two back, you’d think Lennon will want to play them if they are finally both available.

[Ronniekirk]

Hopefully wee Agyepong close to a return. Could have done with his flair on Saturday

Doesn't look like he will though He was Injury prone at City So was always a chance this would happen .Pity as he was showing plenty promise
He now needs to get match fit again and get another run of games under his belt

Agree but our performance at livi was much worse than our performance at tynie

[EH54]

The performance at tynie I can kind of understand. The game against Livi and that at the weekend will take some beating. Very very poor.

Yep, I like this one.

Was it Aberdeen that Horgan had a really good game against through the middle?

A bit like Hearts, this is one where you need to be able to stand up to the physical challenge.

Probably take the same result in the grand scheme of things although a score draw would be better..

[Stokesy's on fire]

I wonder if Nelom will get same game time soon. Massive game for us this weekend and i expect them to try and kick us off the park

Injuries have prevented this team from playing consistently this year and Lennon, i am sure would agree that this or something very similar is his preferred starting 11.

The only changes i could see would be Porteus in for Hanlon or McGregor (fitness dependent) and perhaps Boyle up to Horgan's position to bring David Gray in at RWB.

[Borderhibbie76]

Bartley should not be in our starting 11 unless we have players out. He has had decent games in the last 2 matches, but its also been our 2 worst performances of the season.

Anyone know what time today’s pre-match press conference is?

First time we’ll have heard from Lennon since last week so think it could be quite interesting.

[1van Sprou7e]

Buzzing for this trip now

Starting to get a good feeling about it, as long as we have Milligan in midfield with Boyle wide and the dynamic duo up top

[Souter96Mac]

Bogdan
Efe Mcgregor Hanlon
Boyle Hyndman Milligan Mallan Stevenson
McLaren Kamberi

Our strongest team if Gray is still out Imo.

[Zazu62]

I thought Lennon was wanting to play 4 at the back? If he plays the 3 what’s the point in signing Harry?

[Alex Trager]

Ambrose

If no Hanlon then Porteous but this is exactly how i’d line up

[RossScott1991]

anyone know when lennon press conference is today? should get up an update on squad. That's if its not Parker taking it

[matty_f]

Probably because we hardly ever win when he plays.

From this season, he's played 5 games - 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so probably more accurate to say we hardly ever lose where he plays.

16 wins in 31 appearances last season for Bartley as well. It's not a bad record, to be fair.

[bodhibs]

Looking forward to tomorrow but not the weather, hopefully we turn up, can't be any worse than the corresponding fixture last year

[RossScott1991]

whats the latest with injury news? I see lennon has spoke to media but can only see the part about mourinho

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Gray, agyepong, hyndman & hanlon not in squad.

[bigwheel]

Gray, agyepong, hyndman & hanlon not in squad.


we've had a really stop / start season with injuries this year - those are all important members of our squad....certainly one of the factors in our mixed start to the season

[GlesgaeHibby]

Gray, agyepong, hyndman & hanlon not in squad.

Wonder if the new guy will get a run out at RB then. Potentially even worth going back to the 352 so we can get MacLaren and Kamberi playing together.

[Zazu62]

Would be good if they club could clarify how long players will be out injured for rather than us talking about the same injured players every week?

[Borderhibbie76]

Hyndman also seems to be constantly doubtful and who knows when Agyepong will ever be fit??

We've been seriously unlucky with injuries this season

[B.H.F.C]

Got to be MacLaren and Kamberi up front for me.

Think the only way we can do that is if we go with a back three though.

Not necessarily, it’s not the team I’d go with but we could go with the following:-

Bogdan

Whittaker
Efe
Porteous
Lewis

Boyle
Milligan
Mallan
Horgan

Kamberi
Maclaren

I realise the dangers of playing that formation and it could get over run in midfield however I think sometimes there’s a danger of over complicating things, for me there’s a lot to be said for just getting our best players in their best positions and trusting them to play well.

I get that there are other ways we could set up but I don’t think we are strong enough in the middle of the park just to go 442 with two wingers. I don’t think there is any chance of Lennon being that expansive either. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Milligan to continue at centre half and Bartley in midfield.

Probably our best performance of the season we went with a diamond but we had Gray at right back which makes a big difference if we set up like that.

What I do agree with is getting players in to the right position which means Milligan in midfield and Boyle wide is a must.

[theonlywayisup]

fraser Murray for Horgan.

Would be very surprised to see this. He's not even featuring much on the bench. Why do you suddenly think he's going to come into the team?

I think this may be his line up, playing a diamond in the middle with Milligan holding. He'll more than likely go with Whittaker but I really hope not as GMS will make him look even older than he really is, if Mavrias is up to speed I'd go for him but I can't see it.

[Winston Ingram]

Genuinely hope we don't go 3 at the back.

It played right in to Aberdeens hands in the last game. They play really narrow when defending and we don't have enough quality out wide with a 352.

I also hope MacLaren doesn't start. He was atrocious last week and arguably even worse when we played up there in April.

[Smartie]

From this season, he's played 5 games - 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so probably more accurate to say we hardly ever lose where he plays.

16 wins in 31 appearances last season for Bartley as well. It's not a bad record, to be fair.

Not a bad record for a player who is normally called upon to play in our most difficult games.

McLaren is a cracking player when paired with Kamberi, although I agree he was poor last week.

[danhibees1875]

I think it will be 3-5-2.

Assuming Gray and Hanlon are still out:


Bogdan
Efe McGregor Porteous
Boyle......................Sevenson
Mallan Milligan Slivka
Flo JMac

[Weegreenman]

fraser Murray for Horgan.


As as much as I’d like to see Murray given a chance, an away fixture at Pittodrie wouldn’t be my ideal choice for that chance. I also think there’s a player in Horgan. Saw a couple of decent runs from him against St. Johnston. If he can add something to the end of one of those runs, a pass, a shot at goal then we’ll have another player who our opposition fear. Give him and the other newbies time. Lenny needs to give them a run in the team if he can.

You know what, I’ll retract my ‘gash’ comment about Maclaren because what you’ve put there is exactly right and more accurate.

[Hibeesmad]

If we lose tonight it will be the first time we have been in the bottom 6 since we got promoted back to the premiership.

[Ronniekirk]

We've been seriously unlucky with injuries this season

Gray and Hanlon have been out injured for periods in the last couple of seasons sonin dome respects it's not that much of a surprise What is unfortunate is that it has happened early in the Season
The young winger also has a history of injury so again there was always the risk he may get injured But it was at a point where he was starting to showbus what he can do
Hyndman added to the list is unfortunate
Given we haven't beaten the Dons at twp
Attempts this Season despite being the better team , tonight is a Big test as we don't want them going a i e us going into the break
