Motherwell v Hibs

[Diclonius]

Let's get a good result. Team news incoming.

[mayo hibee]

Five Hecky signings on the bench including Vela and Doidge. He's basically admitting that his signings aren't up to it with that selection.

[erin go bragh]

Afternoon Hibees, here's the starting XI to face Motherwell, delivered by Vittoria

Starting XI - Marciano, Whittaker, Jackson, Hanlon (c), Stevenson, Mallan, Slivka, Allan, Horgan, Middleton, Kamberi

Subs - Maxwell, Vela, Doidge, Newell, Hallberg, Porteous, Shaw

[Diclonius]

[MrRobot]

or he just hasn’t selected them to start today.

I'll be pleasantly amazed if we don't lose today. Come on Hibees, prove me utterly wrong.

[bingo70]

Shows he’s not picking his own players out of stubbornness.

I don’t care if it’s his signings or Lennons as long as we get the win.

[The_Horde]

Why is Mallan undroppable?

[The_Horde]

Who will he bring on for Horgan in the 2nd half

Doidge. Allan out wide.

[Franck Stanton]

That midfield will be overrun. No ball winners what-so-ever

[CloudSquall]

At least with Horgan and Middleton playing Allan won't be shoved wide right, however I'd have had Halliberg playing instead of Mallan in order to have shoved a rocket up his arse along with Vela's.

[B.H.F.C]

That midfield will be overrun. No ball winners what-so-ever

Would be the case whoever he picked because he’s not signed anyone to do that job. Just need to go for goals.

[FilipinoHibs]

Doidge. Allan out wide.

Only if we are losing. Looks like a team to play football and move it about rather than physically compete with them.

[Slim Shady]

No one in a 5 man midfield that can really tackle and stand up to their midfield.
Hope I’m wrong, and guys like Allan, Horgan and Middleton can provide the damage for some early goals.

No he isn't 😂 thw rubbish spouted on here starts earlier and earlier

[badabing67]

Does anyone know why Horgan can only last an hour. It's really my only issue with him, he played the whole game at Tyne but was seriously flagging the last 10-15 mins. Would Horgan not be a better option coming off the bench with around 30 mins or so of a game left rather than starting a game and only playing for an hour.

Slivka can often put a foot in, however today’s selection shows how poor we are as a squad carrying injuries - that defence will leak goals today. I’m actually worried we’ll concede a few today. Hope I’m wrong.

Where's Fraser Murray? Thought he was looking promising - a rare positive from the Morton game.

Hopefully they're all fired up and raring to go at Motherwell from the off.

It's nothing to do with the game itself, just a comment on the disaster that our transfer window has been. He's probably picked the best team available to him to be fair.

But that's only because his signings have been hopeless and he's blown the budget on them.

[Saint Hibee]

That’s a good attacking team. As long as Motherwell don’t attack us back we’ll be fine!

[hibeerealist]

Why is Mallan undroppable?

Weird how everybody but the manager asks that question, ok not everybody but a majority in our support.

[Tyler Durden]

Yup. Flip a coin between dropping Mallan and Vela.

Trying to be positive and if this team can do the job then some of the new boys will maybe get the message about what’s required.

There’s more than enough quality in that team to win today. Horgan and Middleton need to perform, they could be the difference.

[Brightside]

I remember Lennon playing Mallan at the base of midfield v Celtc and I thought we would get battered. We won 2-0.

Maybe Mallan and Slivka will deliver the goods today? Big game for both of them.

I think the key is central midfield. The wingers are ok.

[FilipinoHibs]

Vela has done nothing since coming in. Mallan has been poor but no one can argue with his assist/goal record

Think Vela has been ok. Can put himself about and has a good range of passing. Would rather him than Mallan for his physicality.

[Hibee Mac]

Motherwell will dominate in the middle.

Our possession will consist of nervous passing along the back 4 until we lump it long to the striker/winger, bit of head tennis then the Motherwell midfield will continue to dominate, then repeat..

Another way of looking at it is that one of the players on the bench was brought in as a backup keeper and another has just arrived and hasn’t played for a while. I would hope he’s picking the team based on who he thinks is best for this game, rather than who he has or hasn’t signed.

If the players dont get a lift from this backing they never will. Great stuff.

Note the "shouldn't" not "mustn't".

Need a Bogdan esque keeper to either become No 1 or launch a rocket up the backside of Marciano.

Living abroad so I've read that Whittaker has been one of the better players this season but if it's true that yet again he is getting skinned alive and contributing to us being 1 nil down it's time to stop selecting him.

I'd rather put Horgan as RWB in a 352 than have carthorse Whittaker get targeted by any team with a half decent winger.

No idea what Mallan has over PHB but he’s the biggest imposter in the Hibs midfield. We all know of his set piece quality but he offers virtually nothing else. Can’t pass, can’t tackle, can’t run.

we look so poor at the back as soon as anyone runs at us though

cheers,

[madhatter]

Mallan and Horgan are rubbish. Really poor. If we had scope I'd sell them or get them out on loan. Especially Mallan. Deep lying playmaker who hides, cant tackle and cant pass...

[yerauldda]

Mallan needs to come off. He is painfully out of form.

[Northernhibee]

No idea what Mallan has over PHB but he’s the biggest imposter in the Hibs midfield. We all know of his set piece quality but he offers virtually nothing else. Can’t pass, can’t tackle, can’t run.

Players player of the year. I’ll trust the professionals.

[One Day Soon]

Half of the chat in the past week has been "if we were playing better football the fans would be a lot more patient" though.

I'd almost prefer to see us find some shape and energy playing well with conviction than I would prefer us to get a skanky win.

[Heisenberg]

Honestly, get Whittaker to ****. This boy has him on toast.

[MikeyS]

Ken but did ye see how bad his shooting was this morning? :cb


Aye he was well shown up by the singer! Would be better than any other option in our squad though.

[cabbageandribs1875]

murrawell not taking their chances thankfully

Get him out on the left:hug:

[Weegreenman]

Seedorf ripping Whitty a new one :rolleyes:

[Since452]

Feel that Rocky puts pressure on his defence with his poor distribution. I'd give Maxwell a chance

[Coco Bryce]

Players player of the year. I’ll trust the professionals.

Aye last year. This year he's *****.

[CloudSquall]

Mate, Horgan ain’t then solution as a RWB.

At this point Tam McCourt could go RB and it would be improving the defence.

In fairness to Whittaker, McCourt could go anywhere along the back 4 apart from LB and improve it

[Gatecrasher]

Well as long as LD thinks everything will be alright.......

[neil7908]

Whittaker beaten easily again to set up a good chance for Motherwell.

We're playing pretty well but we will lose another goal today.

[Heisenberg]

We’ve been getting pumped down the wings all season. No sign of it getting fixed.

[madhatter]

Middle of our midfield is shocking. Their wide men just run inside and have 15 yards of space.

[wookie70]

Rocky has been even worse than normal with the ball at his feet

[Fife-Hibee]

I'm assuming those who think we're playing well aren't watching it?

Motherwell players quite literally running through our midfield and defence on every break.

[Mr_F]

We’ve been getting pumped down the wings all season. No sign of it getting fixed.

And through the middle. Manager is utterly clueless

[Ozyhibby]

Honestly, get Whittaker to ****. This boy has him on toast.

It’s pointless pointing out how terrible a player Whittaker is, some folk just don’t see it and the management at Hibs don’t either.

Good effort saved from Kamberi

[wookie70]

Unlucky Flo after good play by Allan

[hibsmad]

We started well apparently, are we still playing that way? Do we look like we have fight?

I honestly dont think we started too well. We haven't created much and Motherwell could be 2 or 3 up.

We really need the next goal.

Kamberi just had a good chance saved at the near post.

[neil7908]

Kamberi has a shot of blocked on the line. Good link up play between him and Allan.

We will score. We always do

They do see it. They just dont want to admit theyre wrong and want to show how better a supporter they are by never critisising anyone, ever.

[Stuart93]

We have a goalie out of form, defenders who are shipping goals and getting ripped by pace, a midfield that’s lightweight and an upfront that is solely reliant on kamberi getting goals. Not a good mix.

[stoneyburn hibs]

It's easy to slate Hecky because we seem to playing ok but with no purpose. The Hibs players seem to be tentative in their play.

[JohnM1875]

Great save from the Well keeper. Great through ball from Allan, Kamberi gets there, puts the defender on his arse and goes best post. Keeper gets good foot to it

[The 90+2]

Been brutal since the goal.

[Phil MaGlass]

1-0 killie

[Squirrel 1875]

How does Stevie Mallan still get a game?

[yerauldda]

Allan needs to be played closer to Kamberi, that’s where it happens for us.

[Coco Bryce]

How does Stevie Mallan still get a game?

He must have photos of Hecky with farmyard animals.

[One Day Soon]

I said on the next five games thread earlier in the week that if they scored first today PH would be finished because I couldn't see us coming back to win it and if we lose I can see the next four or five games being a cluster****. I really hope I'm wrong about that but I fear not.

[leither17]

That’s baaaaad

[gaz1875]

Has Mallan picked a pass to a Hibs player yet? even at kick off he kicked it straight out the park.

[madhatter]

Does anyone actually think we are playing quite well? I think we look shocking again, better going forward but scandalous out of possession. We are lucky Motherwell haven't scored another 2. We are far too soft in the centre of midfield.

[wookie70]

Lovely move, Well keeper saves easily from Kamberi acrobatic effort

[Crab apple]

We’re painfully short of fight and leadership. Hanlon as captain doesn’t cut it. Our midfield will be overrun by most teams and Mallan is a passenger.

[Weegreenman]

Well as long as LD thinks everything will be alright.......

I don't think she’s stupid. She knows it’s not looked great so far, hence she put out that interview. She won’t make any rash decisions, you can be sure but I fancy she’ll be eying up a plan B.

[green day]

Wonder if he will sub him for the new guy at ht ?

We have created a few chances which is a surprise.

[thegaffer12]

Honestly Allan is the only player that stands out anymore

[MWHIBBIES]

I was wondering who you would blame considering gray isn't playing.

I have no personal issue with either player. Gray has been good when fit for over a season now. Mallan has been rubbish for a year now

[AZhibee]

We will score. We always do

Today?

[Since452]

Better team losing

[hibsbollah]

Whittakerwas about the only one winning challenges and accurately finding a man against St Johnstone. That was widely agreed he done well. His lack of pace is a big issue but he can do a job.
