Team v Raith

[SHODAN]

Would go for:


Marciano

Gray/Johnson McGregor Hanlon Stevenson

Milligan

Bigirimana Slivka

Gauld/Mallan

McNulty Kamberi


Gray/Gauld depending on fitness. Team from last night was generally fine IMO minus the bizarre inclusion of Mackie in midfield instead of, y'know, the 39058319058239068209682130958219034812094820893682 CMs we signed last month. Let's play one of them, yeah?

Hibs 1/4 ... not sure we should be those odds!

This.

I would love to see how the forward line gets on as a 3 and see how BIgi Mallan and Guald get on too... we have no width available at the moment anyway so lets try a tight formation.

[SHODAN]

3 up front is a good shout.

That's my thoughts anyway. 3 very different and talented strikers, should be way too much for Raith to cope with.

Kamberi.

Quite like this.

I’d be tempted to bring in Omeonga, Bigirimana, Mcnulty, Gould and Johnson play all those guys new to the club maybe not shackled by the previous going’s on (or as much shackled), they will also want to bust a gut to Impress.

They should all be fresh as a daisy and it will give them another match in their legs.
They all need to be up to speed for the Hamilton match a week later.

With all these weird and wonderful team combos on this thread, I assume someone found Lennon and Parkers whiteboard in the East Mains bins?

[Famous Fiver]

Pointless trying to second guess Eddie May's selection (assuming he is in control come Saturday).

I really don't know who he is going to pick, or how he is going to line us up.

Weird state of affairs.

Burst a gut like Gauld last night?

[hibee-boys]

Let's be honest, nobody has a clue what our best team/formation is. There's not a single member of our squad that is guaranteed a pick, says it all about our recent form and individual performances.

You think he was lazy and didn’t try?

[S4uzee]

You think he was lazy and didn’t try?

That’s what it looked like to me. Particularly when brown pressed him before he was subbed. Celtic tv commentators even said if ever a guy just gave up that was it

Wasn’t that where he got injured? I did think what’s he doing just giving up but was taken off after. I actually called the sub 10 mins before it happened as he was pretty non existent. Needs to show a lot more

I just get the impression he doesn’t want to be here but to be fair to him what a mess he’s come into

[BlackSheep]

I think you are misreading that... yes he has come into a bit of a mess and he will be a bit concerned over this but it takes time to bed in, I don’t think it means he doesn’t want to be here.

[number9dream]

If Gray & Whittaker miss out, along with with Horgan, Boyle & Agyepong, who can offer width on the right?
Maybe Johnson could fill in at right-back but is he going to get forward and swing in a few crosses?
Other than Stevenson and the two up top (if Shaw is in the sick bay too), it's tricky to pick a half decent line-up...

Found it hard to narrow the midfield options - Mallan, Omeo, Bigiri, and Horgan if fit would all be in contention.

[IWasThere2016]

Invite Lenny back and go with his names out a hat trick

Gauld

McNulty
Mallan
Bigi

Mackie
Shaw
Daz
Hanlon
Rocky

Bogdan
Lewis

Subs: Eddie May and LD


Simples.

[Billy Whizz]

Eddie said on his Hibs TV interview after Wednesday’s game, that all 3 players who went off injured during the game, plus Whittaker and Horgan, were all doubts for the Raith game
We’ve really been hammered this season, and resulted in no selection consistency

[Franck Stanton]

Why do people keep picking Slivka at right midfiel? He consistently proved he can't play there, he is a CENTRE midfield player.

[J-C]

Rocky

Gray if fit
McGregor
Hanlon
Stevenson

Milligan

Omeonga
Mallan

You’d hope shaw would make it, looked bad at the time but unless it was concussion surely he’d manage it? Hope so

[04Sauzee]

Why do people keep picking Slivka at right midfiel? He consistently proved he can't play there, he is a CENTRE midfield player.

Some people would say hes not even that, think we will allays have this argument about Slivka

Right side of a diamond is fine imo.

You are right though - he’s not a winger or natural wide player.

FFS we really are suffering a dreadful run of injuries.

FFS we really are suffering a dreadful run of injuries.

We're also down to two strikers again (Allan doesn't count) which brings back that old chestnut of why we didn't bring in another one during the window.

So are Mallan, Gauld, Bigirimana, Omeonga, Milligan, Bartley, Murray.
We don’t appear to have anyone fit who can play right-back or wide right in midfield...

[Billy Whizz]

Just watched Grant Murray’s press conference from yesterday
Injury update is Gauld is out, and Agyepong is still not match fit
Oli’s recovered and is ok, so should have a strong squad to choose from

[Springbank]

hoping for 2 goals from mcnulty today
