Hibs v Arbroath round 2: The Revenge

[Diclonius]

Beautiful evening for football. Team news incoming presumably.

[hibee_girl]

Starting XI - Maxwell, James, Jackson, Hanlon (c), Mackie, Vela, Mallan, Allan, Newell, Boyle, Kamberi

Subs - O Marciano, S Whittaker, Horgan, Doidge, McGregor, Shaw, Murray

[Callum7]

[HibbyAndy]

OI Lucy Brown ken how you have told every man and their dug numerous times Vela WON'T be playing ? ...:tee hee::tee hee:

[Diclonius]

Another rotation by the looks of it. Will be interesting to see how the midfield trio of Vela and Malallan shape up.

[SteveHFC]

Starting XI - Maxwell, James, Jackson, Hanlon (c), Mackie, Vela, Mallan, Allan, Newell, Boyle, Kamberi

Subs - O Marciano, S Whittaker, Horgan, Doidge, McGregor, Shaw, Murray

That midfield though 🤤

[007]

Hopefully a good enough team to get the 3 points.

[StevieHendo]

That midfield though 🤑

Worried its very light tbh, should be winning none the less!

[Posh Hibby]

Looking forward to seeing Vela, Newell, Jackson and Maxwell play. I've yet to see them.

Good to see Allan starting to!

[Unseen work]

..................Kamberi..........

Horgan, Doidge, Murray, Shaw, Mcrgregor, Whittikar and Marciano on the bench.



Starting to take shape and look strong, especially considering that’s not including Grey. Porteous, Stevenson and Slivka.

. Would still like another centre mid, winger and striker in however.

Some amount on Vela to deliver.

[Diclonius]

Looking forward to seeing Vela, Newell, Jackson and Maxwell play. I've yet to see them.

We've already agreed that kind of language won't be tolerated here.

[muzzando]

Wonder if this means Shaw will start at Elgin seeing as he's the only one of our 3 strikers not to have started a game in the league cup matches?

[neil7908]

Decent line up, should be winning by a few goals tonight

[Zazu62]

One striker against Arbroath?

[The 90+2]

Come on the hibs.

[The 90+2]

One striker against Arbroath?

It’s probably the way we will set up this season.

[Borderhibbie76]

One striker against Arbroath?It's a 4 3 3 if u had seen how shocking we were as a 4 4 2 on Sat u wouldn't need to ask this question

One striker against Arbroath?

4-3-3?

Hardly a defensive formation and the one that our manager seems to prefer.

You just have a pop though.

[Heisenberg]

One striker against Arbroath?

Times have changed. Playing one striker isn’t a sign of playing defensive or safe. It all depends on the service that one striker gets. We are effectively playing three attackers with an attacking midfielder behind them.

[Northernhibee]

One striker against Arbroath?

Seen it as a good attacking formation - front three of Flo, Boyle and Newell.

[bingo70]

One striker against Arbroath?

Or 3 forwards against Arbroath?

[SquashedFrogg]

One striker against Arbroath?

How many would you play?

[Sammy7nil]

How many would you play?

Eight or Nine :greengrin

[Diclonius]

Make sure you get here early, only a few turnstiles open and queues are already building up, unless they open some more.

[1620]

Could easily be a 4231 formation which I would like to see trialled.
Vela and Mallan as the two, with the opportunity for when we are in possession, for one of them to spring forward to support the others.

[supermcginn]

Wonder if this means Shaw will start at Elgin seeing as he's the only one of our 3 strikers not to have started a game in the league cup matches?

There's a high chance he will have left the club by then.

[SquashedFrogg]

[Diclonius]

Ticket machines aren't working with barcodes. Going to be a few not getting in on time the way things are going.

[SteveHFC]

Turnstiles at the east once again a shambles.

[seanshow]

Of course everyone will have taken heed from the slow entry into the stadium v Alloa...and will be already in the ground, 'insert smug smiley'

[Chorley Hibee]

Only 4 turnstiles open at the East. Looks like nothing has improved from the weekend.

[Peevemor]

Excellent finish from Flo.

[CMac1988]

Class. That's what we've been looking for. Nice link up between Allan and Kamberi and an early lead.

[Smartie]

Ooft.

What a through ball that was.

Great run and finish as well, makes the through ball that bit easier when you have a runner like that.

[Callum_62]

Mallan booked nice and early.

didnt even look like a foul to me?

Don’t know what the ref saw but Malllan’s challenge was never a booking.
Arbroath physio comes on.
Good call ref.

[oneone73]

Might he miss the final? How many bookings are you allowed in this competition?

[erin go bragh]

25‘| #HIBS 1-0 ARB

Tom James puts a cross in and a crucial interception stops Kamberi making it 2. Boyle then has an effort from the edge of the box which is easily saved

[calumhibee1]

Flo looking good :agree:

[micka_weer]

Mallan booked nice and early.

The thing about being booked nice and early is that it takes away the fear of being booked nice and early

[Diclonius]

Flo looking good :agree:

Yup.

[Smartie]

It looks like a very fluid midfield/ forward formation, players popping up all over the place.

I'm enjoying it.

Vela and Allan look excellent, but tbh I think they're all playing well.

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

Kamberi looks like he’s put on some muscle, which may explain why the ball’s bouncing off him.

[greenpaper55]

Other SPL teams struggling tonight.

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

To be fair his touch is good when he wants to keep it, but sometimes his wee flicks are just never on. Looks keen though.

[Diclonius]

[Here’s Lucy!]

Going well.

Lots of movement throughout the team with everyone looking to get on the ball. Full of confidence tonight.

[Since90+2]

It might impact on whether we are seeded or not and therefore avoid Celtic , Sevco and Aberdeen in th next round.

Playing some nice stuff, everyone looking the part so far

[CMac1988]

Never a pen.

I'm still in two minds even with the benefit of a replay on Hibs TV.

He was definitely caught late after dinking the ball over to Kamberi but there wasn't too much in it. With that said though it's the type of foul Madden has given against us in the 1st half.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Playing well, thought it was a soft penalty but will take it

[judas]

Hibs completely controlled that half.

Much much much better today. This gives me more confidence! Very high tempo with quick crisp passing, what you wanna see!

Crazy what Kamberi can do in a creative team with vision.....

[hfc rd]

A good, solid 1st half. Been in control for the whole half. Really like the look of Vela. Always looking to get on the ball and dictate the play. Only slight wee annoyance is I’d like us to move the ball a little quicker. At times it’s slow and easy for Arbroath to defend against. Other than that I’m happy with that half. A lot of positives to take.

[sean04]

New signings showing up well tonight. Newell looks intelligent, vela looks like a key player already. James coming onto a game. Well on top and can only see more goals coming

Referee has played advantage really well twice, but his decision to book Mallan was mental, especially when you consider what he’s let go since.

Vela plays a lot like McGeouch, but I'm assuming he can go forward too when played in a more advanced position.

Not from this forum they’re not! Everyone should check the last two games’ threads and see what a lot of people have previously highlighted: it’s much easier to slag us off than it is to praise us. The language used to ‘criticise’ Hibs was sad and the detractors whined about this being a discussion forum and were allowed to state their case! Where are they tonight? Why do we not have comparable posts showering the praise when it’s due? Perhaps some of the posters are not Hibbies as others have suggested…or, they just want to have an audience to piss and moan to. How sad.:wink:

Kamberi has been very decent. Allan is outstanding and I reckon he’s going to score a bucket load this season and Vela looks good. Without being spectacular Newell has been a big improvement on his previous performances.

[Wheat Hound]

Much better balance to the team and tempo so far. Vela just instantly looks like the player we've needed since Dylan left. Sits deeper but can play so an upgrade on Marv/Milligan.

Flo looks up for it and linking well with the 3 behind him and Mallan spraying the passes about.

We look better with James on his natural side and Mackie having a strong game too.

Just much better than the last 2 games. Need to keep it going.

[Brightside]

There is no formation. Fluid Hecky Football. JC will hate it. 😂

[hfc rd]

Yeah he could. He is playing very similar to McGeouch. Collecting the ball from the defenders and first thought is, who is available in front of me. Really like what I’ve seen.

He looks a very intelligent footballer. Some his cross field passes have been really good.

[wookie70]

It will be the same all season long. If I am out of the house when a game is on I know when I log in if we have won or not simply by looking at the number of pages. I've said it multiple times before - the detractors disappear like snow off of a dyke when we are winning........

[Wee Effen Bee]

Perhaps Calum, but again, if you check the previous games, the slagging of players was constant from the KO till after the game. Good to see Hibs doing well - I suggest some of us are posting from the game too though.:greengrin

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

We look quicker, fitter, hungrier and have more ideas than Arbroath. We should, but given the stick they’ve taken, the team deserve praise for a good 45 minutes. Assuming there will be changes in the second half would be good to have a full 90 with no let up.

Agree, would like to see us keep the line up like this for a while and try get another couple. An emphatic win would be good for everyone after what has been an uninspiring pre season and LC campaign so far.

[Unseen work]

Definite pen, Boyler taken out advantage came to nothing. Good refereeing

Imo there was very little contact at all and it was after Boyle had made the cross, was more of a coming together you could do nothing about.

[Stuart93]

I liked the look of the team tonight, more balance in midfield, better options upfront. Happy with that and should mean an important 3 points now

Here’s hoping they don’t show up too often this season. :agree: I don’t mind Hibbies having a meltdown when we disappoint but, as I say, surely we should be praising them to the hilt when we click… or is it because we SHOULD be beating the likes of Arbroath and if we were playing a decent team we would be getting humped!:greengrin

If I'd never heard of Sean Mackie I would swear that that is Jason Cummings over there at LB for us.

From a distance they look very similar.

[Unseen work]

Mitch Meggison is miles off SPFL level.

Done really good for Cove however.

Alloa equaliser

**** myself for a minute there, didn’t realise they’d got 1 back, never mind an equaliser.


Lucky I remembered we were playing Arbroath tonight before I made a fool of myself.

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

After this game i hope Newell gets told whenever Allan has the ball run like ***** into the space because that’s where it will end up. Couple of missed opportunities in/around the box because Newell hasn’t gone soon enough, but that’s a combo that will get us goals this season.

Yannick ZamberHanlon finds Martin Boyle with a quite exquisite 250 yard cross field punt.

Thanks for the update 😂

[CMac1988]

Would like to see a bit more of Boyle working the wing. He's playing well but is just lacking that cutting edge to get past his man cleanly.

[Sammy7nil]

He’s got a well paid job with a firm that shares a director with Cove Rangers. He will be making good money.

Is he playing football full-time though?
PS don't think he would be good enough.

[CMac1988]

Horgan on for Boyle and Shaw on for Newell.

Like it.

[we are hibs]

Is shaw playing off the left and Horgan right or upfront with flo and Horgan behind them

[Stuart93]

Hope shaw gets himself a goal

[Diclonius]

How did Kamberi not put that in?

[Sir David Gray]

Hibs goal ruled out for offside.

[Stuart93]

Hope shaw gets himself a goal

Damn

[Speedway]

He just did. Oli Shaw that is, not Hope Shaw.

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

What’s Shaw’s goals chopped off:given ratio compared to others at his age?

[CMac1988]

How did Kamberi not put that in?

He some how managed to put himself in front of the ball... Easier to hit it on target than where it ended up. Shaw capitalises but is offside.

[Diclonius]

Murray linking up very well with Horgan.

[Vault Boy]

More than decent performance again tonight. The two fullbacks, Allan and Kamberi have all linked up well. Murray and Horgan looking good from the bench.

Told you bro

How are they looking from the East?

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

Murray showing everyone how to play. Well done.

[Bristolhibby]

3-0

[Ryan91]

3-0 Fraser Murray

[wookie70]

Great goal. Could easily have scored 5 this half and pleased for Murray who has been v good again

[Speedway]

Goal!

[tonyrougier123]

Fraser murray,getting excited about this guys potential 😁

[Since90+2]

Fraser Murray has the potential to become a very good player.

[CMac1988]

Great cross from Horgan tapped in by Murray on the move.

[Vault Boy]

Super subs. Certainly deserved that.

[Since452]

I like Murray. He has a chance.

[Smartie]

That was the kind of final ball we were lacking on Saturday. Great bit of play from Murray and Horgan.

[hibbie02]

Maybe he is the final midfielder required and we don’t need to look elsewhere? This could be his breakthrough season.

Who knows but I really like him. Looks a real player.

[Bristolhibby]

Ft 3-0

[Since452]

Total domination and much much better. Roll on Friday

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Is stevenson injured

[we are hibs]

Is stevenson injured

Yeah out until after the league season has begun

[Stuart93]

Kick on, good display by all accounts

[Joe6-2]

Good result, more pleased with the display

[Glory Lurker]

I like Hibs.

[Diclonius]

Good performance. Could be the lineup to go with as things stand.

[Ozyhibby]

Sounds like a decent performance and nice to hear Newall is starting to produce.

So us everything ok now? Are we looking top three? Great signings with PH getting manager of the year?

[The 90+2]

Perfect. Goals too. Win cosily on Friday and it’s seeded next round too.

[tonyrougier123]

High press tactics evident in the possession stats! 69% hibs,more of the same hecky

[Torto7]

Good stuff. Hopefully the prior results were down to fatigue(all the noises out of HTC seem to indicate he's been beasting them in training). It's worth noting that Arbroath were in a rich vein of form themselves.

Really happy for wee Fraser.

:flag:

[SquashedFrogg]

Why? Can people not just reflect on a good performance with many positives?

[Speedway]

Much better. Same again on Friday.

[Blackfordhibby]

Looking forward to the positive comments this evening.

It's been a wee bit flat recently, maybe it was justified, I don't know I wasn't there.

So pleased to have read the match thread tonight. Thanks to all who posted from the game.

[wookie70]

[California-Hibs]

That has me relaxed. Allan and Mallen playing together with Vela sitting in behind could be very very exciting indeed!

[Since452]

St Mirren are absolutely toiling

[Allant1981]

Played well tonight, again not what you would call a full strength team and a comfortable win, hopefully more of the same on friday.
