[truehibernian]

Looking forward to seeing Jamie Murphy tonight, a real quality player. Improving every game and now looks far more settled. I think they are vulnerable in the full back areas. Hard game, they'll be very organised. I like Callum Davidson, very bright young manager.

Is Alex Cleland still in their backroom team ? He's a top guy too. Mind hugging him when working at Tynie when Saintees beat Hearts, forgetting momentarily it was right in front on their main stand :greengrin

I'll go for a 3-1 Hibs win :aok:

That's not good. Really not good. Just became much harder to break their press with Hanlon off and McGregor on. It's on porteous now

[Brightside]

Ffs. Last thing we need.

[wookie70]

Daz on but Hanlon did jog off. After a very good start we have started being wasteful in possession.

[Heisenberg]

Hopefully not too bad for Hanlon, could do without losing him longer term.

[hibsbollah]

No very good all round.

You surprise me.

:greengrin

What’s up with Hanlon.

[Stuart93]

Hopefully Hanlon’s injury not bad. I’m not sure Daz is still cut out for playing at this level.

We need to stop rushing when we have the ball. Trying too hard to get the ball forward and we’re losing possession

Mallans continuously giving the ball away

[B.H.F.C]

Need more attacking threat from the full backs and middle of the park.

[MWHIBBIES]

Mallan far too often passes without lifting his head. ****ing frustrating.

[SChibs]

Looks like Hanlon was taken off as a precaution, maybe be was carrying a wee injury. He seemed to walk off without any discomfort.

[Smartie]

Surely a foul on Boyle in the edge of the box there?

[marinello59]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggh!

Talk like a pirate day again? It comes round so quickly.

[Stuart93]

They’re getting fouls for **** all here

[Hermit Crab]

I missed the actual incident but he walked off the pitch no problem.

[Alfred E Newman]

Aimless stuff.

[SChibs]

I like Gogic but in games likes this i think we'd be more effective with more of an all round midfielder in there. When we have the ball Gogic is pretty uninvolved and is a bit like a man down. Similar to Bartley he will be key in games against better opposition and derbies imo

[Stuart93]

We started pretty well but done nout since. Feel like we could’ve done with doidge tonight as St J centre half’s are dealing with everything

[wookie70]

Mackie doing well again particularly as Murphy offers nothing defensively

[Stuart93]

Why in the **** do we keep punting it!!!

Frustrating as ****. Wasteful

[Hiber-nation]

Can't argue with that. Hopefully now he'll stick one in the top corner.

[Since90+2]

Although we haven't played particularly well these are the type of games we have tended to win under Jack Ross.

[The Modfather]

McNamara for them looks a good player.

Half’s like this that drift by show we still need to fix the midfield mid/long term.

[Since452]

Didn't realise At Johnstone were 8 unbeaten. Gone under the radar a bit

[Dinkydoo]

Had planned on ordering this tonight but decided to wait because I was rushing for 19:45. Turns out I was really 45 minutes late

[wookie70]

Murphy obviously has a free role as he is popping up everywhere. I like we have tried to keep it more on the deck in the last 10 or so but we need to do a bit better with possession. Mallan and Murphy have both given it away far too often

[jellybean]

[MWHIBBIES]

We've done fairly well considering what we've got. Our team, especially without Allan, isn't well equipted for these matches. They are pressing us and making it hard. When Porteous or Newall are able to break the press and get it into Mallan or Nisbit, they don't hold it. Mallan especially has broken down multiple moves. Allan would definitely be better in this match. Not a great game for Gogic either. He isn't one to make passes between the lines and that puts it all on Newall on the centre backs.

I think we'll have enough to win, space will open for us as it goes on but next goal is really vital.

[AdidasHibernian]

McNamara and McCann their best players by a mile.
Pretty even game, plenty off ball but final third we've been poor, especially final ball.
Little more composure and no stupid mistakes at back I still fancy us to nick it in second half.

[wookie70]

Missing Doidge. Nothing sticking up front at all. Nisbet has done well on the rare occasions a decent ball has been played to him. Not sure Doidge would make much difference and may make us even keener to shell it forward. Doidge will no doubt get some game time but if the ball is played 10 yards over his head or to his side he will have little impact

[H18S NX]

Passing needs to be quicker and a lot more accurate.

[where'stheslope]

You have got to love the BBC stats on our game: possession 60/40
shots 5/5
shots on target 2/2
corners 2/2
fouls 8/6
So by my reckoning, fouling means more possession???????

[B.H.F.C]

Missing Doidge. Nothing sticking up front at all.

No service in to Nisbet rather than an inability to make it stick.

[MWHIBBIES]

Right Hibs stop messing about, Mallan off for Doidge and go to 4-4-2.

This is the right formation for this match, without doubt. 442 isn't IMO. We'd likely start playing it long with Doidge in there and be a body down in midfield.

[Pretty Boy]

Thought we started really well then fell out it after about 15/20 minutes.

Get Murphy on the ball and move it with a bit more incisiveness. It's a bit ponderous which leads to it then becoming a bit rushed as we are closed down. Considering the good start to the season we have made it almost looks like we lack a bit confidence on the ball.

[Brightside]

Here's hoping.

The best teams commit many fouls, tactical ones to stop others breaking. We've been doing that a lot this season.

[Tyler Durden]

Not sure how fit Doidge is? Maybe Gullan on and move Murphy into Mallans position.

Or might be better going 3-5-2.

Need a change one way or another.

[660]

Don’t bother then

[Brightside]

352 would do for me but a struggle without Hanlon.

[Vault Boy]

The disappointing thing is that we've not played all that well. Conversely, the encouraging thing is that we've not played all that well - but we're right in the game and are more than capable of stepping it up a level.

Good opportunity to step up and win it.

[Sir David Gray]

Missed the two goals thanks to my horrendous internet connection.

Cannot wait to get shot of live streams.

As for the game, from the 20 minutes or so that I saw, it's been pretty boring. O'Halloran should have scored.

Can't comment on the goals as I didn't see them.

[PeeJay]

Bright opening 10 minutes, since then evenly matched game, Hanlon was having a shocker before he went off injured, our passing has generally been woeful, we have little pace and transitioning from front to back is still so lethargic - conditions have been pretty poor tbf - well taken, surprising goal from McGuinn - 2nd half we need much better rom everyone ...

[JohnMcM]

Weird how we can all watch the same game and have so many different opinions is it not?

I can't see a need to change anything other move the ball more accurately.:greengrin

[Peevemor]

For what it's worth Gogic has made a few decent passes and I don't think he's fluffed any.

Ross gave them a ragging against Celtic, here’s hoping he can do it again.

[Hibee Mac]

I don't think formation is the issue, we need the players to step up and show far more composure and play with pace.

Far too much passing to feet, couple touches then closed down. That's no use and the formation won't change that

[CmoantheHibs]

Passing needs to be quicker and a lot more accurate.

He’s also been part of a midfield that collectively has been well of the pace IMO, without any of them necessarily having bad games individually. They’ve all been very meh.

[Smartie]

Murphy is different class.

Mallan gets another 5 minutes or so before he's hooked. He's been decent in recent weeks, deserved to start again tonight but it just isn't happening for him at all.

It's just a tough game.

All the cliches apply - they're hard to break down, they're stopping us from playing, it'll be aa game of fine margins that we might end up on the right end of or not.

We're not honking or doing much wrong. Murphy's playing well, Mallan's struggling, everyone else is fine. As a team we're looking solid enough at the back, just lacking that wee bit of inspiration in the final third.

[Sir David Gray]

Doidge for Gogic.

[cabbageandribs1875]

doidge on for gogic

[SaulGoodman]

Brave sub

[Stuart93]

What a very very weird sub that is

Really think that’s should’ve been Mallan. A needlessly risky sub to make

[Brightside]

Why is he off? Been our best midfielder. No protection for defence now.

[Heisenberg]

Strange sub. Not going to have a lot of protection in front of the defence from Mallan/Newell.

[Pretty Boy]

Neither of those players have his pace so not sure what you're expecting.

I wouldn't say pace is an asset Murphy has in abundance, he's certainly not in the league of the likes of Boyle.

His ability to control the ball instantly and work the space and earn time for himself is a far more noticeable attribute.

[Coco Bryce]

Straight out the Steve Clarke book of substitutions.

[J-C]

Mallan and Newell is not a midfield I really want to see in a 442, very strange sub considering we were doing ok.

[Smartie]

Very strange sub.

I'd be surprised if we have anything like enough in the middle of the park to make a go of this 442 - 352 with this personnel might work.

[greenlex]

Mistake taking if Gogic. Malian or Newall should be gone.

[Jones28]

Inspired sub.

Means Boyle to wingback and negates his attacking ability.

[O'Rourke3]

Great chance there

**** me we need to finish these chances.

[Sir David Gray]

Newell should do better.

[Smartie]

That's a lovely wee ball in from Mackie there.

[Peevemor]

Newell 2 feet wide from 8yds out.

[Hibs Class]

Really good chance for Newell, but just like Saturday no conviction in his shot

[Pretty Boy]

It's missing those kinds of chances that have cost us points this season. In a game like this you need to take them when they come your way.

[bringbackbenny]

Maybe not, remember Boyle was on fire 2nd half of the first season back in SPL. But the rest of midfield was a different class then as well.

[Coco Bryce]

Much better tempo from Hibs now though.

We need to make these chances count.

[hibee-boys]

I'm not actually sure how quick Murphy is, I think it's more his ability on the ball than pace that gets him passed players.

I doubt he’s any faster than those 2, the difference being his default first move is to probe/create, the exact opposite of that pair.......roll on when Magennis is up to speed.

With a far better team around him and the best 3 midfielders in the league at that time.

[thebakerboy]

Porto seems to be playing better at left centre back , maybe has to concentrate more

[Stuart93]

Wonder if we’ll rue these missed chances.

Saints enjoy a late goal at ER

[Oscar T Grouch]

HELP!!! Hibs TV saying
SPFL Premiership, Kick-Off 19:00. Live video for international fans, live audio for UK fans.
I cannot watch the stream but i am a UK Hibs Season ticket holder.

Games on www.hibspass.com not Hibs TV

He has very quick feet and great ball control which allows him to glide past players.

[Stuart93]

I’m still not sure that sub was needed.

It’s left us incredibly open to the counter attack

[Since90+2]

I don't mind the sub. JR is trying to win the game and is going attack minded. It may backfire but I quite like the fact we are going for it.

[Brightside]

St J work really hard off the ball tbf.

[Peevemor]

Good work from Mackie to win a corner.

[OtleyHibs]

Good work from Mackie to win a corner.

Never really held out much hope for him after seeing him a few times but he’s really starting to grow on me since getting back into the side

[Peevemor]

Decent effort from Mallan from 20+yds.

[Snedz]

Lost my stream altogether. Relying on you guys now. Hopefully a Yaaass soon.

[Sir David Gray]

Dangerous free kick for St Johnstone.

[SChibs]

Needless foul to give away

[dp00]

McGregor just fouling as he ain’t fast enough to get to it

Just don’t think we had to risk it. Mallan for Doidge would’ve made more sense for me

[Smartie]

Not sure who was culpable for the Saints goal, but Porteous has come on to a good game tonight.

Mackie playing well now too.

We're wide open but appear to be going for it.

It wasn't a change I'd have made but fair play to Ross for taking a punt in a game we really need to be winning.
