Hibernian v St Mirren

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

First game after the transfer window.

Wonder who makes it and what shape we play?

40% chance of rain during match time with a North East wind at around 12mph.

Updates here folks, here’s hoping we get 3 points.

Thanks for the shipping forecast in your post.:greengrin

I can't answer your question, too many options for me to get my head round. I simply want us to win with a good footballing performance to bolster confidence through the the squad.

:flag:

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about pre-contracts on the transfer thread - just in case you don't see my other post there.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Wonder if McGinn will start.

[CapitalGreen]

Wonder if McGinn will start.

On the bench

[#persevered]

XI: Marciano, Gray, McGregor, Hanlon, Stevenson, Omeonga, Newell, Boyle, Allan, Horgan, Doidge.

Substitutes: Bogdan, McGinn, James, Hallberg, Murray, Docherty, McNulty.

[Diclonius]

That's not the team I would have picked, but I'm not the manager.

[Hibeesmad]

4-2-3-1 it is then.

[#persevered]

Is Whittaker injured or just very unlucky?
Thought he'd certainly at least be on bench after playing so well

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Good afternoon Hibees, here's the starting lineup to face St Mirren this afternoon, delivered by Vittoria

Starting XI: Marciano, Gray (c), McGregor, Hanlon, Stevenson, Omeonga, Newell, Boyle, Allan, Horgan, Doidge.

[Borderhibbie76]

Where is Jackson is he Injured?

Hoping more 4-3-3 home to st Mirren.

[Posh Hibby]

Is that Fraser Murray on the bench? I thought he was going out on loan, or did I miss something?

[makaveli1875]

Surprised McGinn didnt start but unlikely Gray will last the 90 so he'll get on at some point . Hope he gets as warm a welcome as his wee Brother did

[stoneyburn hibs]

That line up is fine.
We're not going to see the old guard line up much more.

Saints will be hard to break down, I'll settle for a 1-0

[Oscar T Grouch]

Yeah its Fraser, not been sent out on loan, just rumours.

Innes Murray went out on loan

[Posh Hibby]

Yeah its Fraser, not been sent out on loan, just rumours.

Surprised we never sent him out for game time.

With all the midfielders we now have I'm not sure how much game time he will get.

Allan, Docherty, Omeonga, Newall, Slivka, Hallberg, Whittaker, Murray. Mallan when hes back from his injury. Did I miss anyone?

[Borderhibbie76]

Yeah its Fraser, not been sent out on loan, just rumours.

JR had said he had played his way back into his thoughts with his Sub appearance on Tues night...he was very decent when he came on

[Speedway]

Whittaker, Jackson, Mackie, Naismith, Porteous, Mallan, Slivka, Gullan are today’s inactives

[Keith_M]

I can understand why none of yesterday's signings won't be starting.

Hopefully see some of them get game time if we're ahead.

He got a sore one late on on Tues night mate (Jackson) so think hes prob injured

[Smartie]

Not impressed.

Same formation with similar players as the team who have started badly against weaker opposition in our last 2 home games.

At least the manager has recognised this and been able to change it twice, leading to much improved 2nd half performances, and he has decent options off the bench to help him today.

We need to get people close to Doidge (which we’ve often struggled to do) and hope they don’t mark Boyle too tightly so Allan can find him with passes.

Fairly predictable team though.

We created plenty against Utd playing with this shape for the most part?

[Smartie]

No, I’m not.

I thought we could have done more with the players already here.

I’d have probably gone for the diamond today with Boyle up front with Doidge.

I just don’t like Hibs playing 451 against weak teams at home. We’ve never done it justice.

[Hibby70]

Why do goalies warm up longer than the outfield players?

[Smartie]

We created bits and pieces but much of that was down to their sloppiness at the back.

PLEASE prove me wrong Hibs.

[Kaff]

Why do goalies warm up longer than the outfield players?

It might be that generally they have less exertions than your average player in 90 minutes. Although probably less so these days it may be that they have to be 'explosively' ready at the start of a game whereas outfield players can feel themselves in?
I know it always looks like a good session for the 2nd and 3rd keepers so maybe extended for their benefit too?

[Mibbes Aye]

Why do goalies warm up longer than the outfield players?

I'm guessing outfield players just want to get the muscles loose and warm, without wasting too much energy.

Keepers want to judge the wind and the flight of balls, how the pitch affects the ball, so forth.

For keepers it is all about repetition because essentially being a good keeper means reducing your mistake levels.

[makaveli1875]

Jack Ross saying Jackson has a bug ,at least he's not injured

[660]

Nice bit of management. New signings have to play their way into the team

[Oscar T Grouch]

JR had said he had played his way back into his thoughts with his Sub appearance on Tues night...he was very decent when he came on

I’m a big fan of Fraser and I think he’ll do well with Hibs. I’d prefer him to stay and battle it out for a 1st team place albeit he more than likely to be a sub most weeks given the midfielders we have atm. He was very bright on Tuesday when he came on.

[The 90+2]

I'm disappointed that Whittaker isn't even on the bench.

Probably too much to play two games per week.

[The 90+2]

Why do goalies warm up longer than the outfield players?

They don’t use as much energy?

[Speedway]

Nice bit of management. New signings have to play their way into the team

Also got to bear in mind that we’ve got six games in the next four weeks.

[Steve88]

Very much looking forward to this game. We’ve bolstered the squad (more will come in the summer)

For now, let’s put the transfer window behind us and get right behind this team and give them all the support they need!

Onward and upwards!!!

[hibsbollah]

Why do goalies warm up longer than the outfield players?

Someone already answered but the key thing is 'explosiveness', or anaerobic vs aerobic exercise. Goalkeeping has far more in common with basketball or boxing in terms of the training and warmup demands. Most keepers use the same routines in the gym as basketball players do. I think theres also the mental demands of the position, and the need to repeat and visualise to create relaxation.

[Smartie]

Newell has started well.

[HoboHarry]

Is he not still flying over some mountain somewhere?

Thats the third game in a row. Hes fast becoming our standout performer.

[Smartie]

This is a ****ing shambles.

If you play a back 4 you need a defensive midfielder, if you have our midfielders you need 3 at the back.

When we play this way we get exposed defensively, we fail to get support up to Doidge and the wide players have 2 of 3 to beat every time they get the ball.

It is a shambles and I’m concerned that Ross doesn’t see it.

After all, he managed the lowest finish in Sunderland’s history getting far too many draws with it last season.

It's the return of the "rather win 4-3" days of Mowbray..

Good sign tbh, we generally only compete at the higher end of the table when we play gung ho

[Keith_M]

Delighted to be back on level terms but...we're at home to St Mirren!

Another posted suggested I lacked ambition because I didn't think we had a chance of finishing 4th.

[Smartie]

Richard Gordon STILL slagging Doidge. Saying many of his goals have been 'fortunate'. Which is broadly true, but he says this stuff Every week. The man is an obsessed creep.

Some of the finishes with his feet have been a bit untidy but he’s a striker and he gets into the positions.

Some of the headers have been about as good as I’ve seen from a Hibs striker. That was excellent technique there as the ball was a bit behind him and he did brilliantly with it.

A proper wee bitter oddball, he reminds me of a dickensian character, but without the character.

...or the ensian.

[MWHIBBIES]

Lewis and Paul the only defenders we've actually got. McGregor been decent but done for first I think. Gray horrendous.

Thank God for Doidge, Steph and Newall.

[Sir David Gray]

We could be, it's a very big if though.

There's only 3 teams in the league that have conceded more goals this season.

[supermcginn]

Be surprised if Gray comes back out. James an upgrade on him now unfortunately.

He wouldn't be an upgrade on anyone.

[Not In The Know]

Our defence.

Correct. He's murder. Paul McGinn on please.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Seems like a case of defences out the window try and score more than the opposition. Our first goal was almost two easy and there’s been other times such as at two each St Mirren should have played their man up top clean through the middle. 4-4 wouldn’t surprise me

[Jones28]

He wouldn't be an upgrade on anyone.

Well he’s already ahead of gray if you take their last league games into account.

[wookie70]

Strange half. Saints came flying out the traps pressuring us and scored easily. I think Allan gave the ball away 6 times from his first 8 involvements. They took a breath and we started coming back. Allan involved twice in our opener by simply keeping it simple. Doidge, having basically been anonymous, scores a really cracking header from a cross a yard behind him. Very lucky to be level at HT and the work rate from the front 4 or 5 in the first half and hour was appalling. Jack needs to look at the slow starts and his own tactics. Has Rocky got the new Nike Soap gloves and boots on, nothing looks easy for him.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

McGinn coming on 2nd half.

[Since452]

We'll probably go on and win this now but McGinn needs to start next game

[MWHIBBIES]

He wouldn't be an upgrade on anyone.

Right now he absolutely is. Gray has been much worse than James was last game.

[hibsbollah]

A proper wee bitter oddball, he reminds me of a dickensian character, but without the character. An Aberdonian.

With every Doidge goal, a little bit of Gordon's soul drips away into the ether.

[tamig]

150k for Boyce looking like a smart buy already.

Aye and 6k a week. Ok if someone else is paying.

Yeah, it must be crap scoring so many 'fortunate' goals.

How many is that now since Hecky left?

[CentreLine]

Hardly an amazing upgrade is it?

McGinn is very fast and can actually deliver good crosses. Once he gets going there will be plenty for Doidge and co to work with. Down side is we need to cover the holes he will inevitably leave synths back. But make no mistake he is a ball carrier and much needed at that

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

I think Gray’s injuries have just ate into his confidence. A shadow of the player we know he can be.

[Vault Boy]

McGinn coming on 2nd half.

Sensible decision. Good luck SPM.

[Bostonhibby]

As ever our defence is poor - 2 good goals for us, Saints passing game much better than ours and they have two tricky players in Andreu and Durmas. No idea how this game is going to finish, think Saints fancy their chances, we need to do much better 2nd half ...

[supermcginn]

Lol not possible

[Vault Boy]

Change of boots for Allan at HT

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Horgan booked.

[Jones28]

Come on Hibs, fingers oot.

I wonder if we will see all our debutants.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Horgan fouls again, think he’ll get subbed, can’t afford to go down to 10 men.

[CL0762]

Newell subbed. Docherty on.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Desmond for the jambos.

[makaveli1875]

2 on already and pretty sure McNulty will be on soon enough

[Jones28]

Newell subbed. Docherty on.

Injury? Seems early.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Horgan shot blocked. Now subbed for McNulty

[Jones28]

2 on already and pretty sure McNulty will be on soon enough

You called it 👍🏻

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

I’d imagine our shape has changed to 433 now.

[Keith_M]

Surprised it's so quiet here.

Would have thought a game like this would get the fans goin.


:dunno:

[Smartie]

I like the look of Docherty.

Looks like he wants to be here all right.

[Diclonius]

St Mirren should have scored. Free header.

[tonyrougier123]

3-2 st johnstone

[CL0762]

Injury? Seems early.

Looked like it.

[Ryan91]

St Mirren should have scored. Free header.

I thought they had scored in all honesty.

[hfc rd]

St Mirren should have scored. Free header.


Our defence is a nightmare

[Hermit Crab]

3-2 st johnstone

wrong thread.

[Diclonius]

Nah, he hates it and is only playing well because the club hypnotist was made him think he's still playing for the Rangers.
