3-5-2 with Boyle and Slivka as wing backs?

[KingPat4]

I fancy Sparky to score again tonight. He's getting sharper all the time.

Hibs 3, Ross County 1

[hfc rd]

Looks like it’s 3-5-2. Surprised Omeonga has been dropped for Slivka

[Speedway]

Gray, Naismith, Porteous, Stevenson, Hallberg, Whittaker and Mallan are tonight’s inactives.

[Silversand]

I’d say Newell is the LWB.

Slivka will partner Docherty in midfield with Allan in the number 10 position

[Tug Wilson]

I’d say Newell is the LWB.

Slivka will partner Docherty in midfield with Allan in the number 10 position

Think that it would be a waste to have Newell on the left wing.

However not sure who goes in there.

[Unseen work]

I’m quite looking forward to this team and formation. Defensively looks a bit fragile.

I imagine Newell on the left and leave Docherty central for his direct runs and push us forward

[Hibbyradge]

I'm very concerned.

Right now, I'll be relieved if we don't lose.

Hopefully things will work out despite the selection difficulties.

[wookie70]

It's certainly different. I think Newell will be LWB and we could really struggle with only Docherty likely to make a tackle in the middle. Allan cannot play a world cup ball every time and lose possession as we will need to keep the ball imo.

[KingPat4]

We have a pretty poor record against Ross County at Easter Road.

This won't be easy, but then, it rarely is.....,

[Jim44]

I think that team is good enough to beat RC. The bench is strong enough to ring any required changes.

[cocteautwin]

Gray, Naismith, Porteous, Stevenson, Hallberg, Whittaker and Mallan are tonight’s inactives.

That’s 3/4 of a semi decent team sitting out.

[PeeJay]

We haven't beaten them yet this season - can't think why their defence is even worse than ours ... 3 points really a must this evening, surely?

[Since452]

Our record against them at ER since 2010 is W3 D3 L1. Wouldn’t say that’s poor.

[murray26]

Great start let’s have a stress free night Hibs ⚽️✅

[Peevemor]

Exactly what I've been anticipating since McNulty's return - his well timed runs on to Scotty's through balls.

[Since452]

Allan to McNulty... Bang

[Lago]

That was quick

Welcome back Scotty :greengrin

[CloudSquall]

I hadn't realised I had stopped reading predictions and was reading actual goal updates until I opened the BBC page :greengrin

[Moulin Yarns]

Is there a break in the game? BBC has our game at 7m minutes played, the others are 14 minutes played.

[The 90+2]

Allan is a baller, McNulty is a scorer. What’s not to like?

[KingPat4]

That"ll do nicely.

[Smartie]

This is pretty good so far.

[SHODAN]

Playing very well.

[hfc rd]

Started really well. Just hope we maintain it.

[wookie70]

Great stuff so far. Both teams knocking it about and we look very good in final third

Furthest out Doidge has scored I reckon. Very open game with both teams playing well. Our movement has been brilliant tonight. Hecks signings really impressive tonight and everyone playing pretty well. McNulty making runs in behind has made a huge difference.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Playing some good stuff although went a bit flat for a bit of the 1st half before our 2nd.

Great corner from Newall and excellent diving header for Doidge.

Should really be 3 or 4 up but Allan poor with passes when in great position.

Some decent and enjoyable stuff played going forward, defensively we are - at times - ropey ... we need more goals

They've had a couple of good moments where they've cut us open and we've gotten away with it but overall it's been a very good performance I think.

Weird shape and I think we look a bit exposed down the left at times but the overall play has been good. :aok:

[Aldo]

Both our front 2 scoring. Superb. I really think they need to try and sign MM on a permanent deal come the summer

[Smartie]

Good half.

352 suits this group of players - Allan behind 2 strikers, Boyle wide, 3 defensive players all of which I like.

Scott Allan and McNulty have been close to linking up a couple of times in addition to the goal - if we can get them in the same page then we might have a huge threat there.

[Hibbyradge]

Hanlon had a great first half. Imperious.

Jackson is doing well too which is encouraging.

Slivka seemed to be off it a bit, but hard to criticise anyone because that was a very good team performance, particularly in the circumstances.

Another one early in the second half and I'll relax.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Docherty has had a fine game.

I’m sure Hecky will feel somewhat vindicated. The impression I got from him was a lot of it was down to the minds and confidence of the players. they had/have the ability.

Perhaps what he forgot was that his tactics were causing a large slice of the problem.

Will be interesting to see if County change their shape to try and disrupt that random back 3 of ours.

To be fair though that back 3 have been excellent with Hanlon reading the game brilliantly and Jackson looking commanding.

What a difference having Docherty in the middle makes, a proper midfielder at last!

Hoping for a cruise to the finish with a third just after the hour but so far this season that’s not exactly been the way...
