Hibs v Killie

[Billy Whizz]

Seems to be quiet on here, but we have a massive game tomorrow against Killie
Think this will be the toughest of the games since Hecky left,
Kilmarnock really physical in midfield, so going to be interesting how Hibs set up. Jack Ross said there were some tired legs after Tuesdays game, plus a doubt with Kamberi

Not sure how we’ll line up, but expect the odd change or so

[Squealing pig]

Think Boyle to start , maybe a game too soon for daz

[H18 SFR]

Killie assistant manager on westsound just now talking about the importance of not losing. They want to take 'something' from the game. Clearer as day they're coming for the draw.

[Carheenlea]

I was happy to see the same team take the field as last Saturday take the field on Tuesday night, but our primary weakness was evident in the two games since Jack’s arrival, so wouldn’t be surprised if he makes a change with personnel or shape of team.
Hoping we still see Flo and Doidge spearhead the attack, but after three wins on the bounce nobody deserves dropped, but we need to find a way of taking the pressure off our defence.

[JohnM1875]

Think he'll rest Allan and start Mallan with it being three games in a week. Don't think much else will change.

[B.H.F.C]

I think there will be a change or two to freshen things up. We didn’t play well on Tuesday.

[Tyler Durden]

I think the bold move is to keep same team, assuming everyone is fit.

Killie line up similar to Motherwell but are bit more solid defensively. Changing the formation would be unduly cautious IMO. Ross has said that he’s aware the current set up will put us under some pressure but we’re counting on our strengths to see us through. I’d stick with that ethos.

Killie aren’t as good as they were under Clarke and we need to put them under pressure. We have great subs to bring on to freshen it up when needed.

[erin go bragh]

Nah , can’t see Allan not starting. Maybe Boyle in for Kamberi if he doesn’t shake off his back injury .
Same , same for me . If it’s not broke and that .
Going for four wins in a row .

[Unseen work]

I think we will see

.....................Maxwell.............

Naismith....Porteous...Hanlon...Stevenson

................Slivka...Hallberg.......

Boyle...............Allan..............Horgan...

.....................Doidge.....


Think he will add some pace and energy into the team after a tough week of fixtures. Wingers will off the full backs a bit more protection and he has praised the impact of the subs lately.

Wouldnt be surprised to see Mallan start either but think he will want Scotty in the team.

Id like two strikers in the team but with Flo struggling from Tuesday and freshening things up and trying to be a bit more solid, I can’t see how we could play 2 up front unless he went with Shaw - which I doubt.

Id personally start Newell ahead of Slivka as think he’s been better than him the last couple of games. Slivka has a bit more energy though and more suited to the two in the middle imo.

[Blaster]

Do we not have another game next midweek Boyle not ready to play a couple of full games a week so think it will be more game time off the bench v Killie
Again Mallan has done well coming off the Bench but as The Manager has worked with him before you wonder if he may get the nod for this one
Flo not starting would be a blow but don’t risk him if he would recover for midweek game
Shaw maybe deserves a chance to show what he can do but don’t think he would get a starting slot
So could be he has to mix things up if Flo can’t start

3 wins in a week would be incredible but i think it's asking a bit too much. 1-1

[Tyler Durden]

If Flo not fit then it’s a straight swap for Boyle, no need to change the formation.

Kind of agree with what you say but we were really poor the other night. We got away with it because it was St Mirren, Killie are a much better side.

[B.H.F.C]

It’s not. If we’re serious about getting in to contention for a European place then games like this are the ones we need to win. Especially with Aberdeen and Motherwell having home games you’d expect them to win tomorrow, we can’t let that gap open up at all.

[HibbyAndy]

Correct

2-0 Hibs

[Unseen work]

I know where you’re coming from and ideally I’d like to see 2 up front too, however I feel a diamond against Kilmarnock is asking for trouble. They’re very competitive in the middle of the park and their wingers/ full backs would cause us problems.

[Squealing pig]

If anyone has a spare child ticket for tomorrow pm me I’m a ticket short 😭

[HibbyAndy]

Just saw it's Kevin Clancy tomorrow so i'l change from 2-0 hibs to 1-1

This guy has it in for Hibs and is the worst of a bad bunch !!

My opinion is that Horgan can’t last 90 minutes.
Better used as a sub.

[ian cruise]

I'd be happy with that. Allan wasn't getting much luck against St Mirren whereas Mallan was more direct and really drove us forward. Boyle only started to make a difference when he had Mallan feeding him.

[RoYO!]

How’s the ticket sales looking?

[Pretty Boy]

If Flo is toiling I'd be happy to see us play with 1 up top, Allan in behind and 2 wingers playing off Doidge.

It's a different kettle of fish when Boyle and Horgan are the wingers rather than the 2 square pegs in round holes approach that Heckingbottom favoured.

Agree. Under Heckingbottom it would have been Middleton/Horgan and Mallan. Two proper wingers makes it different.

[cabbageandribs1875]

527 available in three home stands



499 available at this time last week, very similar attendance again for tomorrow i would think

[Eyrie]

Bearing in mind that not only have we just played a mid week game but have another to come, I think changes are inevitable.

[Gatecrasher]

Whilst the run of results has been great I am hoping we get a performance to go with it. The last couple of games we have rode our luck a bit and whilst we have got better than what heckingbottom served up I think we can do better.

[MWHIBBIES]

If Flo not fit then it’s a straight swap for Boyle, no need to change the formation.

Boyle is a poor striker. Much better out wide

[weecounty hibby]

I thought we played very well against St Johnstone and also against a good Motherwell side in what was an excellent game of football. Didn't see the St Mirren game but 9 points and +6 goals isn't to be sniffed at

[sean04]

What a difference a few weeks make, absolutely buzzing for today! Hopefully a big crowd and 3 points

Cmon Hibs

[Weegreenman]

This would have been a game for big Marv to come into. Still can’t believe we allowed him to leave.

I don’t see us winning the midfield today especially if Mallen were to come back into the fold.
I’m optimistic we can cause them problems going forward but I fear for us defensively.

Not replacing him was the issue
Not keeping him was the right thing to do

[Bobby's Cinema]

Same team again for me with the same injection of pace with subs later on.

How many interational breaks have we had now? The guys should be able to handle three games in a week once in a while.

Fancy Doidge to get another, we will need a strong performance at the back today.

[Bishop Hibee]

Hope the undersoil heating is on. -2C in Leith at present. I’m going for a 2-1 Hibs win.

[GreenCastle]

The last few games definitely an improvement.

BUT if either opposition could finish we could have had different outcomes.

St Mirren controlled the 2nd half more than Motherwell but both teams dominated the 2nd half.

Mainly due to our lack of midfield depth and energy. (Poor recruitment).

So today I would keep same team but we can’t let the same 2nd half performances happen again - as surely we won’t get away with it 3 weeks in a row.

Hallberg and Slivka are our current key midfielders. If Flo fit we go 2 up top with Doidge.

Being at home helps but Killie have had some decent results this season but even last game against Hecky they weren’t that great (both teams were awful!).

3 points would be so impressive considering that would be x4 wins in a row. Not sure when we last did that. Plus would really close the gap with those above us and ideally our pink neighbours below us.

We have had enough draws this season - 3 points should be target today.

Looking forward to it - wrap up ! It’s cold !!

[B.H.F.C]

BUT if either opposition could finish we could have had different outcomes.


Disagree with this bit, more so for the Motherwell game. They had a lot of the ball but hardly created a clear cut chance. We had several chances in addition to the three goals we did score.

St Mirren, we were really poor but, again, they didn’t create much. A header in the first half and hit the post from distance in the second half. We didn’t create much at all though.

[hfc rd]

Doesn’t really make a difference as they are all s****, but does anyone know who the ref is for today’s game?

[staunchhibby]

Kevin glancy so not hoping for much

[J-C]

Don't mind 1 up as long as theres enough support for the striker, Boyle and Horgan are both attack minded and like to get up and support.

[Eyrie]

Hope the undersoil heating is on. -2C in Leith at present. I’m going for a 2-1 Hibs win.

I always feel for keepers on a day like this. Other players get to run around to stay warm and, whilst it's chilly sitting in the stand, at least there are other fans around so you're not totally exposed to the cold.

[Keith_M]

As it's St Andrews Day, is everybody taking a Saltire to celebrate?



:saltireflag

[sean04]

Hopefully a good crowd today, a lot of the sections are down to single tickets

[Crazyhorse]

Yeah a penalty for Killie coming up. Will take the draw now.

[we are hibs]

I know most referees are shocking but Clancy takes the piss with how much of a knob he is.


Was the last game he refereed us that celtic game when he failed to send off Ntcham for raising his hands? A joke of a display that day.

[Hibby Bairn]

Marv wasn't at the races last season. I'd have let him go too but kept Milligan. Letting them both leave was daft

Especially when their replacement was Vela 😳

[wookie70]

Yeah a penalty for Killie coming up. Will take the draw now.

Draws got Heck sacked. If we want to get to Europe we have to beat Killie at home as they are a direct competitor.

[Hiber-nation]

Same team again.

[ABZHFC]

Unchanged lineup

[Brightside]

Killie almost 3/1. That a big big price.

That’s good for us as Brophy can score goals and Sow hasn’t scored for a while.

But being an ex yam he may well change that today.

[Aldo]

Bonus for for us as he has a bit of pace etc about him. Sow brings something different (elbows) and hopefully we will cope better. Lewis needs to be in his game today. Burke has been decent in recent weeks!

See other than their right back, would any of their team improve ours?

Everything Ross has done so far I’ve been happy with and keeping the same team is the right thing to do.

He’s used subs well so far, I think he’ll need to do so again to keep things fresh.

Probably a bit quieter than normal by now. The temperature might put some off.

[mjhibby]

No point in changing team but subs will be really important today with tired legs. I'm sure it will be Mallan for Allan,squirrel for Flo but the third one will depend on the score I'd guess.

[euro Hibby]

Middleton lone has not worked so well and with Boyle back and an OK bench , you are going to have to be great in training to get a look in at the minute.

Hopefully, we arebetter today than midweek.

[euro Hibby]

sorry loan LOL

[nonshinyfinish]

Sounds like he could still have a part to play – it's the time of year for a calendar signing… :hmmm:

[Pretty Boy]

Both goalies in yellow.

Bad start by the ref and we haven't even kicked off yet.

[Speedway]

Ross is clever by keeping a winning side together. He’s rebuilding morale and has said, if the team play well I don’t have many players to sign in January.

This lets them know that they can be his favourites. He won’t sign for signings sake.

Today’s a big test for us.

Whatever the result, he did the right thing keeping the winning team together.

[heretoday]

Middleton looks awkward and pissed off signing posters for kids in the FFL.

He can piss off back to Ibrox then.

Encouragingly, we’re really going at them.

[Pretty Boy]

Slivka has started very well. Him and Halberg seems to work.

[Mr Grieves]

I wish I was sitting in that slither of sun in the east.

Newell had a shot like a pass back then tried a volleyed pass to Slivka that was like a rocket.

He's bright and lively today though.

Neil McCann Bbc,

""When Scott Allan puts it in, it is a big flighted cross, but Laurentiu Branescu should be favourite all day long. He's nearly six foot five. Fair play to Christian Doidge, though, he jumps early and makes no contact with the goalkeeper""

Done well to give himself the attempt but would have liked to see him work the keeper more there.

We've looked really nice in possession and going forward there's been good pace with some nice passing. It's also really good to see us more relentless in defence with a number of interception and challenges in the midfield. Slivka and Newell in particular showing the kind of effort that they've perhaps been criticised for not showing enough of in the past.

[Pretty Boy]

Nope.

Without wishing to tempt fate, Sow looks humpty.

BBC stats - 62% possession to Hibs, 9 shots and 6 on target, no shots from Kilmarnock.

Very pleasing. Great first half from Hibs.

Really nice performance, just missing the second goal we really deserve.

Worried about Clancy, Killie players just fall over and he gives a foul.

[hfc rd]

Excellent 1st half performance by Hibs

In complete control. Can’t even remember Killie having an attempt at goal.

Kevin Clancy has been his usual inept self. Horrendous official just like the rest of his colleagues at the SFA.

More of the same in the 2nd please!

The only complaint is we should be out of sight. Totally dominant.

The benefit of having so many midfield technicians is really showing today.

We've gone all year thinking we were desperate for a destroyer, but it doesn't matter so much when you utilise what you have and keep the ball for 60%+ of the game. Great work rate too.

[Pretty Boy]

Great ovation for Josh Taylor at HT.

Pity no one can hear what he's saying.

[Mr Grieves]

We've been dominant. Our full backs are bombing forward, centre backs are keeping Sow under control, some nice passing in midfield and the strikers work well together, happy so far. Their keeper looks humpty so we should shoot on sight in the second half

[hibsbollah]

The guys a moaning old slaver. Never has a good word to say about us. Lives to moan.

I think you are sitting next to at least 25% of section 42 lower.

Michael Stewart says "Hibs are playing well, but not worth a 2nd goal"????

[HibeeHibernian4]

Excellent 1st half performance by Hibs

In complete control. Can’t even remember Killie having an attempt at goal.

The stats suggest they haven't. 13 Hibs shots (6 on target) to Kilmarnock's 0. :aok:

[Bobby's Cinema]

Moving the ball with speed and purpose what a difference. Game could have been won at half time. Really confident at the back so far

Newell and hallberg merge into the same guy at times similar running styles.

[RyeSloan]

The only complaint is we should be out of sight. Totally dominant.

Agreed. We had free reign that half and should have pressed home the advantage. We just lacked that last finish or pass.

Surely Killie will not be so passive second half, can’t remember ever seeing them sit off and let us play like that.

Still will take that every time, some really nice football and a balanced looking side.

[hfc rd]

Great to see our very own champ Josh Taylor getting a standing ovation!

[MWHIBBIES]

Really good so far, great shape not allowing Killie a sniff and look dangerous every time we go forward.

Normally quite like Mikey Stewart as a pundit, but that's a load of keek.

We're well on top

Pretty positive crowd in the FF upper.

One guy was losing it a bit about Clancy with some cracking swearing that my 8 year old found hilarious, but hard to fault his sentiment.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

We’re strolling this but Clancy is a worry as per.

[FilipinoHibs]

BBC has us on 62% procession and 11 shots to Killie's 0.

[Carheenlea]

Playing very well and comfortably on top. Winning most of the second balls in middle of park and Kilmarnock haven’t laid a glove on us.

Killie have been the worse side at ER in the league this year. No energy and playing like it is a friendly. We have been pretty good and look like a team. Every player getting involved and Hecks signings looking better and better. If we up the tempo we could batter them

[Bangkok Hibby]

And what a pleasure to see them taking quick throw ins

2 more goals would put us up to 5th. That's achievable when looking at the respective performances of each team so far.

Only need one more, as scored more goals.

Sssh don't tell the players or they'll try and sit on a 2-0 lead. :wink:

Some of the creative swearing was one of the things I loved the most about going to the football when I was wee!! To be fair though, I did start watching Hibs when in the late '80s so I had to find enjoyment from somewhere 😂

[YehButNoBut]

Ya beauty 2-0 Hibees, what a team :flag:

Naismith scores

[Pretty Boy]

2-0 Naismith. Great move, solid strike, keeper beat at the near post. We should just shoot on site as he looks awful.

[Mr Grieves]

Yes, bullet from Naismith

[Ryan91]

What. A. Strike

[The Spaceman]

What a goal!!! Calypso football.

[Aldo]

What is happening btw! 2-0 GET IN

Screamer

[heretoday]

Is this a Naisy I see before me?

[Vault Boy]

I'm not overstating it when I say Slivka might be the best midfielder to ever play the sport.

[YehButNoBut]

We're now on same points and same goal diff as Killie, another goal for us would be nice.

[SanFranHibs]

Looks better after each game.

Now we just need St Johnstone to equalize.

BBC table showing us into 5th, above Killie.

Naismith is rubbish! Worst full back ever to wear the green! Get him out the team.... oh, just hang on a mo...:wink:

Great save by Maxwell. We've gone sloppy last 5 minutes

Ah well, well have to settle for Sevco beating the mongrels 15-0.

[SJNB Hibby]

Great save by Maxwell. We've gone sloppy last 5 minutes

Yeah we're letting them back into it

[Vault Boy]

Great work from Stevenson to head that out after Maxwell's good save. Under the cosh a bit the now.

[Pretty Boy]

Time for a change I think. Boyles pace could be an asset here.

[Pretty Boy]

Mallan called in and getting stripped.

[HibeeHibernian4]

We're doing that thing again aren't we?

[Pretty Boy]

Mallan for Allan.

[rcarter1]

Great stuff Hibs, just dinnae hi and sit back please . All out attack is our only option..

[Pretty Boy]

2-1.

Been coming last few minutes. Need to get the ball down again.

[Ryan91]

Still no clean sheets

[Mr Grieves]

Goal killie, we've been sleeping since we scored

[Pretty Boy]

We seem to have resorted to long balls and it's not working. Get it down and play again.

[Vault Boy]

That's been coming. Test of character now.

[Aldo]

Need to step this up.

They will be up for it after scoring. Cmon

Boyle now getting ready.

Aye the team still need to learn how to keep momentum. Could end up with egg on our faces..

[Pretty Boy]

Boyle for Kamberi.

[delbert]

2-1.

Been coming last few minutes. Need to get the ball down again.

For all that people talk about adding a forward or a defensive midfielder which we both need, I think our most pressing requirement is for a couple of defenders who can actually defend properly because we just cannot keep teams out for 90 minutes, we are extremely soft at the back and have been for months - this needs sorted out pronto !!

[Pretty Boy]

Boyle shot deflected a yard wide.

[rcarter1]

Mon Boyler!!

[Vault Boy]

Boyle breathing life into this. Brilliant pass from Hanlon to find him.

[Pretty Boy]

Great tackle by Halberg, weak shot. Some very good battling in the last few minutes, a real will to win.

[Pretty Boy]

Horgan now stripped.

[nonshinyfinish]

Melker's a big honey.

[Pretty Boy]

Horgan for Newell, he's played well.

Fans responding to the team battling. It:s easy to get behind a team that are clearly giving their all.

[Vault Boy]

Doidge doing well to take the pressure off by winning a free kick.

[Vault Boy]

If ever we could use a counter attack goal from one of our two quick wingers, it'd be now.

[Pretty Boy]

Handball shout, Boyle was looking for it but it did hit the arm.
