Mallon on the bench instead of Murray

We go with an unchanged 442 from last week with the added bonus of Stevie Mallan returning from injury.

Stephen O’Donnell makes his debut for Motherwell;

Think we need to start 3-5-2 and match up with Motherwell in the middle. The middle of the park is where they are strongest, think it would be dangerous to give them an extra man in there.

[HendoDelivered]

Motherwell midfield is strong.

Horgan could move into the 10 role. He played there preseason against Celtic and by all accounts was good. Doig and Boyle as wing backs.

[Tambo]

Unchanged again for the 3rd game in a row? I like it.

[SaulGoodman]

4-0 Hibs Doidge fgs.

4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 from Motherwell.

Think we might go 3-5-2 so we don’t lose the midfield.

[badabing67]

Will there be a re-run of the full match on Hibs TV ?

[Franck Stanton]

Think going 3 at the back will be bit dangerous. Well have 2 very quick wingers.
Play 4 4 2 with Horgan giving doig cover just my opinion folks

[SweetDreams]

Early goal to unsettle them. They have only won 1 of their last 13 competitive games.

[Jones28]

That’s what it’ll be

[Unseen work]

Personally think it will be 442 to stop their wingbacks, mainly O’Donnell and to give Doig a bit of support.

Our midfield would have to be solid like yous say though if we only had 4 in there and could be risky giving Turnbull extra room to work in.

[MWHIBBIES]

I think it goes both ways. Playing 2 in the middle could leave us exposed there. Difficult one.

[one day maybe...]

C’mon Hibs let’s put 11 points between us and Motherwell at this early stage of the season 🇳🇬

[Franck Stanton]

I think it goes both ways. Playing 2 in the middle could leave us exposed there. Difficult one.

Yep, tricky problem, both formations have merits. Just have to see how it goes. If one system not working I am sure JR will change to the other.

[Bostonhibby]

Happy with that line up.

C'mon Hibs, back to the top.

Some slight audio problems in the studio - otherwise Hibs TV has really come of age - well done to everyone at the team - now for 3 points!

[whiskyhibby]

Audio is really poor in the studio, otherwise great

[Hibby70]

I'm watching the build up on Hibspass but will be switching to Sky if the audio is still pants. Hopefully just the studio mics that aren't set up properly. Mind you Tam and Cliff may still be in last week's cupboard.

[Hibby70]

And you won't get Shelly on Sky 😁

[neil7908]

Motherwell have some very good players but looking at their record, they have 1 win in their last 13 competitive games (including end of last season of course).

That's relegation form. Having Turnbull back is the massive for them though.

[Man Down Under]

Nice piece on Marciano, class keeper.

We’re too deep, massive gaps from defence to mid and then front

[cabbageandribs1875]

and another chance for motherwell

[J-C]

Giving away far too much possession and have done in most games so far, if you want 2 strikers you have to play 3 at the back which allows the extra man in the middle, 442 means the middle 2 have to work very hard but you lose out on creativity through the middle, been very poor so far.

[The 90+2]

Brutal so far like. Headless chickens spring to mind.

[hibIBZ]

Being over run a bit in the midfield at the moment. Need to get players on the ball. Newel barely had a kick so far. Defence looks a bit panicky. Expected well to start fast after manger criticism. Need to impose ourselves or this game is going to pass us by

Stupid. Obviously not working.

[Real Emerald]

Why can’t we keep possession of the ball, frustrating!

Chill, Motherwell were always going to start like that. We need the get ourselves involved and as I write that, best but of play of the game so far. Much better

[JammyDoidger]

This is garbage. Scott allan has to play especially at home!

[Keith_M]

Just saw the Boyle attempt again. Jeez that was awful

[sean04]

Why aren’t gogic and newell getting on the ball. Not giving the defenders any options

[MWHIBBIES]

Desperately need a Mcgeouch type. No one to take the ball off the back 4.

[Stuart93]

This is garbage. Scott allan has to play especially at home!

Scott Allan would have absolutely no effect on this game so far. If anything would make it worse as we’d be even more overrun in the middle

[Stuart93]

I think we just need to hold on to the ball a lot better when under pressure. It’s like a hot tattie when we get it

[Keith_M]

Doig's attempt at putting the ball into the box was... well... as bad as everybody else's so far.

Though we are coming back into the game a bit now.

[The Modfather]

Newell doesn’t do enough to play in a two IMO. We don’t have anyone with the energy and athleticism to compliment Gogic in a 2. 3-5-2 seems to only way to not lose the midfield most games and get 2 up top.

[B.H.F.C]

Scott Allan would have absolutely no effect on this game so far. If anything would make it worse as we’d be even more overrun in the middle

If he was the extra body in the middle of the park it would make a big difference.

[Andy74]

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s just the gamble. Sacrifice a bit of control in the middle and have good options in other bits of the park.

So far it has worked in the other games. Easy to say putting another body in fixes it because you miss a player somewhere else.

[neil7908]

O'Donnell looks for them. We might have missed a trick there.

[whiskas]

We’re starting to get into the game a bit more. Very even contest so far

[we are hibs]

Devoid of a game plan. And if they have one they arent executing it

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Absolute *****.

[Keith_M]

Motherwell are doing a decent job of putting us under pressure when we have the ball but we seem more intent to sit back and invite them to attack.

I'm presuming our tactic is to counter attack, but it's not worked so far.

Don’t wait until we are behind to change it. This is crap.

Hard to direct the header anywhere when back peddling like that. Horgan should have been marking the boy on the edge of the box.

Motherwell have been the much better side and unlucky not to be winning. Bit of a concern that 2nd game in a row that our 1st half performance has been very flat & lacklustre.

Need more work off the ball from certain players but on a plus note from that dire performance from some players what a signing Gogic is turning out to be.

[JammyDoidger]

If he was the extra body in the middle of the park it would make a big difference.

Exactly. We've got newell and Gogic against 3 of their centre mids. They're waltzing through us.

Reading match threads on here is at least a bit like being at Easter road with all the moaning.

Lucky to be level at HT, we’ve only had a few short bits of quality, but hopefully see some changes in the second half. Motherwell have been better than us but they’re not great so match definitely still winnable.

[Hiber-nation]

We're really not all that good. Newell anonymous again, Boyle not involved. Too much onus on Horgan and he's too inconsistent. Nisbet looks dangerous though.

[Coco Bryce]

We are really poor again. Hopefully get another sneaky winner

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

I dunno what’s happening, there’s no pressure on the ball, we’re not closing down. We don’t have a midfield and we keep giving possession away cheaply.

We don’t look particularly interested either!!

[HibbyAndy]

Why are we aimlessly launching balls forward ?

[Andy74]

We’re lucky not to be behind. Dreadful half. Changes required at half time, it’s not good enough.

Not at our best but we had about 4 chances since their goal was disallowed so I’m not sure we’re that lucky not to be behind. Motherwell don’t do too much with their possession.

[The 90+2]

Sits off his man. Hasnae a clue defending.
But Boyle has been worse. Absolute mince.

Horgan shouldn’t need to defend, he’s the only one creating anything. Boyle and Newell have been woeful.

I'm assuming the promotion of "The Match" for next week's match at St Johnstone is for the benefit of our international subscribers?

[erin go bragh]

Think we need to bring on Allan and switch to a 352 . Our midfield is getting over run . Boyle should have put his chance away but they have been the better side ,first half .

[J-C]

WTF has happened to us!

Nothing, we've been bang average so far this season, scored some decent goals but Killie and Dundee U could easily have taken point off us, still not a fan of 442 as it leaves you outnumbered unless the 2 are very good players, either go 532 or 433.

[JammyDoidger]

So difficult to play 2 centre mids against 3. Go 3-5-2, Horgan off and allan on. That should make the difference. Mon hibs!!

[Real Emerald]

What a bunch of moaning gits....,

Stop moaning 😉

[Onion]

Really poor from Hibs. Well dominating at the back, in midfield and looking dangerous up front. They're also a bigger side than Hibs, so we're losing a lot of 50/50s.

We'd be fuming if we had that Well goal disallowed. It was put in by Hanlon and no convinced Rocky would have saved it had the Well player not been there.

Jack has to change things at HT as Well are too comfortable.

[Bobby's Cinema]

not at our best but still get in without conceding. We look like we can score, getting in at half time goalless was important.

We don’t have anyone in there controlling the tempo. Crying out for scotty Allan special second half slipping those balls in behind for Boyle imo

[villahibs]

Not many pass marks in there. Horgan and possibly McGinn. Got to say young Doig worries me a bit. I’m just not seeing it so far...

[Hibs90]

Glad you're no the gaffer

Extra man in midfield with more energy in Mallan. Newell towing a caravan. Allan to play in Boyle/Nisbet. Not many other options is there?

[-Jonesy-]

O’Donnell should’ve buried his chance, total let off.

[neil7908]

O'Donnell showing his quality in first game for new team.Was hoping he would be rusty.

He looks good. Think we might have made a mistake not going after him.

[KingPat4]

Stop moaning 😉

Naw.

[lord bunberry]

Surely a fully fit David Gray is a better option than Mcginn? Mcginn is a solid defender but he offers very little going forward. Gray is nowhere near finished and he should be first choice imo. I’ll start a thread about it later :greengrin.

[weecounty hibby]

First 30 mins was brutal with too many long high balls. Last 15 was ok and we should have scored. Better second half required but still pretty positive another three points

[easty]

Not at our best but we had about 4 chances since their goal was disallowed so I’m not sure we’re that lucky not to be behind. Motherwell don’t do too much with their possession.

Finally some sense.

We’re not playing particularly well, we can do better. Hopefully we come out in the second half with a bit more to us.

The Motherwell “goal” wasn’t lucky for us...it was a very obvious offside. We went up the other end and Boyle should’ve scored. We’ll get more chances, they prob will too.

[Keith_M]

What a bunch of moaning gits....,


We all need to get our jollies somewhere

:greengrin



Anyway, I'm off to the pie stall. Hope the queue's not too long.

[one day maybe...]

What a bunch of moaning gits....,

Correct... ffs we are not Bayern
Munich

[J-C]

Horgan shouldn’t need to defend, he’s the only one creating anything. Boyle and Newell have been woeful.

He does in a 442

[Keyser Sauzee]

Horgan off for Allan and go 352, we’re losing the middle of the park.

[The Captain....]

Overun in midfield so no control of the game. Same as first half in midweek. Need legs in that midfield..Newell cant play in a 2 man central midfield as he spends all his time trying to plug holes rather than pass the ball as we never have it.

Happy to still be level despite us having a few chances of our own..thought Nisbet was our best player that half. Few need a bit of a rocket as effort levels were lacking from some.

[Dan Sarf]

Starting to think we won’t win the league.

😂

Yep. We’ve had one shot less than them but one more on target. More touches in their box than they’ve had in ours.

I think we will switch things a bit to get more in midfield and will come good.

[lord bunberry]

I think Doig has been one of our better players, he looks more composed than most of them.

[weecounty hibby]

Starting to think we won’t win the league.

C'mon man, keep the faith. It's only a poor first half. The league meant gone yet

[SweetDreams]

Not been impressed by Gogic in the 2 matches i've seen of him so far. Is he more suited to playing as a deep defensive midfielder with two in front of him rather than a central midfielder as part of a two?

[Andy74]

O’Donnell should’ve buried his chance, total let off.

Boyle should have buried his. Nisbet should have buried a couple. We’ve let them off too.

[Mr Grieves]

Horgan off for Allan and go 352, we’re losing the middle of the park.

Horgan's been our best player

[silverhibee]

Singing section have been quiet today, hopefully the team can give them something to sing about in the 2nd half.

Goalie the only one to get pass marks in 1st half, could get ugly in the East with the Coke heids.

[neil7908]

We are definitely missing a body in the middle of the park. Gogic has been immense but he's on his own with Newell contributing very little. I'd like to see Allan on but I don't really think he is the solution either.

Mcrorie might give us a bit of more.

[SweetDreams]

I think Doig has been one of our better players, he looks more composed than most of them.

I enjoy that he likes to get his head down and attack. I think it's quite evident he has a lot to learn defensively though.

[CmoantheHibs]

Not been a good half. Been second best for most of it but even with that we've created as much as them and are still level. Push on second half and pick up the 3 points.

[Keith_M]

Correct... ffs we are not Bayern
Munich


We look more like Barcelona ATM
