Hearts are playing quite narrow right now aren't they? If so shouldn't we exploit that, especially on our wider pitch?

I see no reason to change anything (barring injury) from our last few matches.

[Jones28]

Stick with the formation that’s been working for us. I’d be tempted to get Horgan involved with his pace and he’s got a good record against hearts, but I’d rather see us go with 3-5-2.

That would be mine too, should be ripping them apart with ease.

[CMurdoch]

If fit:

Marciano

McGinn
Jackson
Hanlon

Boyle
Docherty
Omeonga
Allan
Newell

McNulty
Doidge

This would be perfect
Boyle an Newell wing backs
Newell on corners and free kicks
Doidge winning headers at both ends of the pitch
McNulty playing on the shoulder to take advantage if they press too hard
Docherty and Omeonga running and breaking up play

[Hibeesmad]

I think we might well go with Horgan and Boyle as wing back, like the BSC game.

[007]

If fit:

Marciano

McGinn
Jackson
Hanlon

Boyle
Docherty
Omeonga
Allan
Newell

McNulty
Doidge

That'll do for me.

[lyonhibs]

Has Newell himself not said he'd prefer to play centrally as that's where he's at his best. Don't think a derby is a game for square pegs in round holes. Play players in their best positions for me, unless there's no alternative.

[makaveli1875]

If fit:

Marciano

McGinn
Jackson
Hanlon

Boyle
Docherty
Omeonga
Allan
Newell

Has to be this

[HibeeHibernian4]

If fit:

Marciano

McGinn
Jackson
Hanlon

Boyle
Docherty
Omeonga
Allan
Newell

McNulty
Doidge

That’s the team right there if Newell can make it.

[PH91]

Newell in for Whitts the only change for me. Get Newell in his best central position.

[Ozyhibby]

If fit:

Marciano

McGinn
Jackson
Hanlon

Boyle
Docherty
Omeonga
Allan
Newell

McNulty
Doidge

That’s the team I would go with. Let them worry about stopping us.

[Ozyhibby]

Doubt Whittaker can play three days after he has played about 70mins.

This

[Greenio]

Newell is injured no?

Jambos are bricking it.

We need to stop Boyle
Stop Alan and we win
Nah, Docherty is their danger man!

I'm usually cagey about derbies but see no reason not to say what I think as I'm not superstitious.

We should run this utterly dug ***** hearts team ragged tonight

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Wonder if we’ll see elbow bumps and foot taps instead of handshakes ;)
Come to think of it what are the masons doing in preparation for the. Coronavirus epidemic

[Steve88]

This is a hibs team (much like stubs/Lennon team) who if they go behind I am confident they can come back and win a game.

That’s a huge shift in mentality from what we’re used too over the past decade or so

[hfc rd]

Gutted that Newell is out. I reckon the team will be the following:

Marciano

McGinn
Jackson
Hanlon

Boyle
Whittaker
Docherty
Stevenson

Allan

Doidge
McNulty

Basically same team as the Inverness one

[HendoDelivered]

Rocky

McGinn
Jacko
Hanlon

Boyle
Docherty
Allan
Omeonga
Stevenson

Doidge
McNulty

Agreed, if there is to be a change then I’d expect it to be Whitt’s making way for Omeonga but I reckon that Ross will play Whitt’s to bring some maturity/experience in the middle.

Our game style is to score more than the opponent there's is to concede more than the opponent.

[Garymcl]

Confident we’ll win but most important we get right behind the team throughout the 90 + minutes and no moronic behaviour make a hell of a noise!!!!!!!! Ggtth

[HibeeHibernian4]

Since Newell’s out:

Marciano

Boyle
McGinn
Hanlon
Jackson
Stevenson

Docherty
Omeonga

Allan

McNulty
Doidge

As I’m feeling flash, I’d then bring on Gullan for McNulty, Horgan for Stevenson and maybe Whittaker for Allan if we need to hold onto a lead.
