Christ, I hate being confident before a derby.

The Cochrane and Connor Smith selections were widely rumoured. Will Levein be raging about the leak or will this have been some sort of ploy?

Hearts have beaten us with supposedly rubbish line ups before. This will be a tough game as all derbies are.

[flash]

Even more worried now after seeing Hertz team.

[660]

I hope the team isn’t as overconfident as some of the fans.

[Captain Trips]

Very true.

[Sammy7nil]

No silly penalties or sending offs and Hibs should have enough to win this by the odd goal. Hearts will try to make it a fight so as long as we stand up for the first thirty minutes we should slowly take control.

[Diclonius]

I hope the team isn’t as overconfident as some of the fans.

Yup. It's been our undoing before. Mind 13-14 when they beat us 4 times with kids?

[The 90+2]

Christ, I hate being confident before a derby.

The Cochrane and Connor Smith selections were widely rumoured. Will Levein be raging about the leak or will this have been some sort of ploy?

The ploy is he knows he’s getting pumped rid raw regardless therefore put in a few young players and he’s got a ready made excuse.

[mayo hibee]

A first team squad of 33 players and they still need to pick a 17 year old from the youths for the derby. Maybe the kid is outstanding but, even if he is, how much crap did they sign last summer to end up in that position?

[Hibrandenburg]

They'll want to win this. A point keeps them 3 points adrift of us. Hopefully it means they'll come at us which means it might be a more open game than normal, we just have to make sure we score first otherwise they'll revert to 10-0-0.

Six of their summer signings are on the bench which probably shows you that they’d rather pitch in an untested 17 year old ahead of them.

They're bang average at best. They stared the season well as there were so many of them and nobody knew who they were. They were found out soon after. Luckily for them they'd already won the league by then.

[Smartie]

Naismith is a very effective player at this level.

They're far, far weaker without him.

They have some half-decent defenders but they lack pace.

First goal is vital today. If they get it, they're more than capable of doggedly defending a lead.

If we get it, they might get a doing.

[hibsbollah]

Surely we have no chance now Zico Cochrane has been selected? The force is strong with this one, apparently...

[Since452]

Has he played this season? Hardly heard of him since they were touting him for Scotland.

[Pretty Boy]

Cochrane will add a bit dig for them. I rate him.

In saying that Omeonga is no shrinking violet and I expect him to boss it as he always does.

He's the one player they have that worries me. Luckily he's made of chocolate.

I think hes been busy defeating Thanos or solving the Arab Israeli conflict or something.

Played well against us last season, particularly in both of their wins.

[hibee62]

Very clever of hearts to sell tickets to their “singing section” closest to the corner of our ground where there has been trouble...

[Iain G]

I think hes been busy defeating Thanos or solving the Arab Israeli conflict or something.

He disappeared in the snap probably.

[PeeJay]

If we want to take anything from this game today, we need to be at our best all over the park -
Weather looks decent at ER - expecting a draw, a good win would be excellent though ...

I bet the ref was glad it didn't come to anything.

[Diclonius]

Pretty poor so far, Hearts the better team.

[Moulin Yarns]

Leading with the studs on horgan. No foul

[Pretty Boy]

We need to get the finger out. A few well-off the pace.

[Smartie]

Franz BeckenSouttar has shown on a few occasions that Hertz defenders are not suited to the ball-playing defender role.

[BroxburnHibee]

We need to get the finger out. A few well-off the pace.

I wonder how many times that's been said in derbies.

[Pretty Boy]

That was a really poor challenge from the boy up top. Deserved booking.

[Moulin Yarns]

At last ikpeazu is booked

[-Jonesy-]

Big dirty huddy

Hopefully stop him doing the diving in the box he likes in the second half of games

[Smartie]

We need to get the finger out. A few well-off the pace.

True, but the same could be said for a few of them.

Very scrappy with a lot of bad touches under little pressure.

[hibsbollah]

Mallan has started really well

[Moulin Yarns]

Unlucky horgan there

[Pretty Boy]

2 bookings in as many minutes. Hearts resort to type.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Need to draw Smith into a red card.

[-Jonesy-]

Omeonga is a smashing wee player like

[cabbageandribs1875]

come on lewis son fs

Mallan has started really well

He's started really well.

Good for us that the ref has been forced to get the cards out early.

Omeonga is a smashing wee player like

Needs a goal.

[cabbageandribs1875]

heartz keeper needs a haircut

[Pretty Boy]

Few chances and half chances without really playing well. Hopefully we can tuck one away.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Souttar having a mare.

[Moulin Yarns]

Horgan again with the chance

[Smartie]

Omeonga is a smashing wee player like

He is.

Not got much of a left foot though.

[Moulin Yarns]

Lovely ball from Omeonga to horgan

[makaveli1875]

Mallans playing some nice stuff, just need him to get a sight at goal

[Pretty Boy]

Stevenson again with an awful pass in a great position. That's 3 times now and it's not like him.

[-Jonesy-]

Gray and Horgan make a really good aggressive paring going forward and defensively on the right so far today

[Jack Hackett]

Taking control of this now

Never seen a human run like Uche. Some style from the lad.

Mallan reminding Thomson that he has cards for both teams players

Flo looks a bit lost out there.

[Pretty Boy]

Lewis with a cracker of a strike then one cleared off the line then blasted over from 3 yards.

[cabbageandribs1875]

ooft some strike from lewis

[Diclonius]

That McGregor strike better have been disallowed for a ****ing foul.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

We should have made more of that.

[Moulin Yarns]

That was a bit exciting at the end

[-Jonesy-]

Herts are an awful football team, will be raging if we don’t take 3 points today

[Just Jimmy]

as per usual they get everything unless is its 70-30 in hibs favour.

they must be the spawniest team ever. every break of the ball goes for them always.

Never a foul on the goalie, but thank **** as that fell to the wrong player.

[Sammy7nil]

Did anyone see the RIP Bradley Welsh electronic advertising ?

[Phil MaGlass]

That was never a foul on the keeper, and how can you blast the ball over from 1 yard ffs.

[Smartie]

They made a spirited enough start but have fallen out the game.

We've got a few players off the pace today but it is there for the taking if we lift it a bit.

I don't know if the pitch is dodgy but I don't remember seeing so many unforced errors. That's before you get into the inevitable forced ones that happen during a derby.

[hibsbollah]

Happy enough with that. We started to assert our superiority in midfield as the half went on; Omeonga, Mallan and Horgan are just better footballers than their guys. Kamberi is having a nightmare, I'm tempted to give Shaw a go if we need a goal after an hour.

[Phil MaGlass]

If we can get in the box a bit more, this games for the taking, they are honking.

[tamig]

Stevie Mallan has been excellent first half. We are due a free kick within his range. Hopefully second half.

[Phil MaGlass]

need tae get Flo off, he is contributing nothing.

[wookie70]

Honest half with Lots of effort and a few nice bits of play. Hearts are so easy to dislike, some terrible challenges, 10 minutes to take a throw in and stealing yards every time they have a set play. Soutar looks a mile off so we should play on that.

[Sammy7nil]

Kamberi off Slivka on

[Hibs90]

Kamberi needs a serious rocket

[wookie70]

need tae get Flo off, he is contributing nothing. Thought he was fine.

[JDT]

Kamberi off Slivka on

Gauld or Tam would be better no?

[snedzuk]

This - plus before he gets sent off.

[SaulGoodman]

He was but he’s gonna get sent off.

[Allant1981]

Would maybe take kamberi off and stick agyepong on out wide left, not a great match in all honesty

[Sammy7nil]

Gauld or Tam would be better no?

They just announced it on the radio

[Since452]

Again?

[Hibs90]

Really poor today so far

[Sammy7nil]

Would maybe take kamberi off and stick agyepong on out wide left, not a great match in all honesty

Just said on the radio he is off Slivka on.

[Ryan91]

Thought he was fine.

He's been hit or miss so far today, though doesn't really help when he has a Hearts player draped all over him

[Bangkok Hibby]

2-0 Hibs...Shaw gets one (yes I know hes on the bench)

[Ryan91]

I smell pyro, did the Jambos set one off?

[HibeeHibernian4]

Poor in the first ten minutes, decent in the next fifteen, and then very good for the last twenty.

Need to keep them in their own half and take our chances when they come.

[Billy Whizz]

Think Slivka maybe coming on, doing a strenuous work out
Kamberi 6th booking, means he’ll probably miss the Aberdeen game

[SteveHFC]

Announcer playing some catchy songs at half time.

[J-C]

Flo another waste of a Jersey again, went close down, gives too easily and gets another stupid booking

[Callum_62]

They started well, and we were half a yard off with everything we done

last 20 though we have dominated. Fairly decent game to watch but with few moments of genuine quality

Definitely there for the winning

Our final ball just needs to be sharpened up

Id also probably sacrifice Flo who has been sloppy in most things and bring on another midfielder to release Omeonga and Horgan further up the park

[Captain Trips]

I like Flo but prefer him up front rather than wide, plus you worry about him getting a second booking. The way the first half was going, this game could really suit Slivka and he could make a big impact here.

Pretty poor from both sides - some shocking passing and we are wasting far too many decent "opportunities" - Slivka on for Kamberi - an interesting change

[-Jonesy-]

The reason we are unbeaten in the league under Hecky is because he’s made the right changes at the right times in games so hopefully it’s all good this time too
