Hibs v Killie

[Billy Whizz]

With the 2 new signings, and Lewis getting another year, looking forward to tomorrow’s big game
Think we’ve done the double over Killie this season, so would be great to keep this winning streak going

I’ve no idea who’s going to be playing, or even who’s on the bench, but seemingly both new signings are available for selection
Home form hasn’t been too good, lets start putting this right Hibs

Is this the match day thread then or are we having a few of them again this week? :greengrin

Weather forecast is windy and cloudy.

[Heisenberg]

Joe Newell is in the studio for the match so he’s definitely out injured. Bit of a nightmare that.

Is the game on Hibs Pass ?

[GreenCastle]

Haven’t lost to Killie in last 5 games..

But we haven’t won by more than 1 goal at Easter Road since Feb 2020 in the league..

We haven’t won in last 4 games getting 1 point from 12.

Last season we won 5 league games at home all season (St Mirren , Motherwell,Aberdeen, Ross County and Hamilton).

This season we have won 3 league games so far - (Killie, Hamilton and St Mirren).

We need to get our act together.

It would be nice if the new boys were able to make a meaningful contribution as our regulars have looked very tired lately.

That being the case, I think Irvine goes right in to the team.

I think he might have anyway. No point in signing someone on that kind of contract then waiting however long for them to get up to speed.

[Mikey_1875]

“Jack Ross is hopeful of being able to call on winger Martin Boyle, who missed the trip to Glasgow after rolling his ankle in training.

Joe Newell and Josh Doig will be given every chance to make it but require further assessment after being forced off with injuries of their own.

Kyle Magennis, Ofir Marciano and Sean Mackie are all making good progress but the head-to-head with Kilmarnock may come just too soon for them, while Scott Allan remains on the sidelines after a bounce match he was due to feature in on Tuesday was called off.”

Taken from the preview on the official site might not be fully updated though. Obviously Newell will be confirmed missing now if in the studio.

[Brightside]

Save Doig for the semi. Lewis will do the job fine.

[Jim44]

Newell will be a very big loss tomorrow but, if we can raise our home form a bit, we should get a result.

Looking forward to being joined in the @HibsMatch studio by @joe_newell93 and captain @JLMurray17.
Joe had better have decent trainers on in our studio!

Tanner giving away the team now !!

[hibbysam]

Tanner giving away the team now !!

Even though the club announced it before he did? And presumably Ross did in his interview this morning also.

[Sir David Gray]

Is the game on Hibs Pass ?

Hibspass for season ticket holders only.
Hibs PPV site for UK/ROI based non-season ticket holders and Kilmarnock fans.
Hibs TV international for non-UK/ROI viewers.

[Since452]

After the late goal during the week and two cracking signings I'm really looking forward to this. Shot in the arm after two honking results.

Marciano, walks off with a calf strain before Xmas and he's still out? He's at it. Clearly not signing an extension. With us calling back Dabrowski and getting Macey in, wouldn't be surprised to see him off this month.

Marciano pulled up in the warm up against Livingston a fortnight ago.

[flash]

Saw pics on twitter with McGennis taking part so he might be om the bench. Have a wee feeling Scott Allan might make the semi final bench too.

[weecounty hibby]

Really looking forward to the game. Decent result against the lesser greens and two excellent signings. Last time I said I was really looking forward to a game was Ross County. What could possibly go wrong today!!!

[Since452]

Jack confirmed Irvine will be in the squad

[Magpie]

Any idea when the bounce game is going to be that he is supposedly playing in?

Read on here that the match was postponed during the week

[Magpie]

Macey

McGinn
Porteous
Hanlon
Doig

Boyle
Mallan
Gogic
Hallberg
Murphy

Nisbet

That’s the team I would go with today.

Ah that’s a shame, hopefully he can get a game in soon.

[Phil MaGlass]

Marciano pulled up in the warm up against Livingston a fortnight ago.

That might be good news for us, teams might be put off with an injury?

[BlackSheep]

Newell will be a very big loss tomorrow but, if we can raise our home form a bit, we should get a result.

He will be but hopefully an opportunity for Irvine to take centre stage.

[cullen]

is the game on hibs pass ?

yes

[HH81]

Looking forward to 3 points today. I work with a Killie fan so always good to beat them :-)

He pulled up again during a warm up so clearly not "at it"

[Brightside]

No chance Scott will make the semi.

[Jim44]

It would be great if he played and had a blinder but, maybe, we shouldn’t set our sights too high too early.

[flash]

No chance Scott will make the semi.

Final then......

[Unseen work]

Can’t help but think Cadden and Irvine will start today

[Vault Boy]

Can’t help but think Cadden and Irvine will start today

Can see Irvine potentially getting a start. Think it'll be the bench for Cadden just now. Would be good to see both of them at some stage today!

[Northernhibee]

I often, when I get the chance, go all out on the munchies for watching the football so today trying to recreate a Berlin style doner from scratch. Home made doner meat, making the flatbread just now and away to make the sauce. Already have home made pickles in the cupboard as a nice little project from midweek.

Also have glases in the freezer to make dry martinis.

Hoping this makes for a 'Hibs class' set of refreshments.

[Aldo]

Macey

McGinn
Porteous
Hanlon
Doig

Boyle
Mallan
Gogic
Hallberg
Murphy

Nisbet

That’s the team I would go with today.

Id hope we won’t play both Hallberg and Gogic today. Let’s try and play a bit more expansive

Back 4 with Lewis in for Doig

Gogic at the base with Boyle on one flank and Murphy on the other. Doidge and Nisbet up top.

Leaves 1 space in the middle. For me it’s either Mallan or Irvine. If Boyle isn’t fit then Cadden comes in.

4-1-3-2 formation!

I'm thinking either 3-5-2 or 4-3-3

Need to get Murphy into this game today as he is key imho!

Murphy rather than Wright?

I expected Doig to be rested for the semi. Hope that doesn’t backfire.

[wookie70]

Decent ine up considering we still have key players out. The bench look the best it has all season

[B.H.F.C]

Looks like a 433 to me.

Oops

[Billy Whizz]

Is this the “Official” thread

[Hibee Mac]

Jack Ross seems to prefer Doig as a wingback in 352 and Lewis in a back 4 so I expect that formation to line up 352 with Murphy in behind the striker

Nice. I'm going with pan fried cod roe seasoned with Himalayan rock salt and black pepper(unknown origin). Served with a green salad of Rocket and lambs lettuce with a drizzle of Balsamic. Dry Riesling (Mosel) to pair.

When we get back to Easter Road the pie stands better have taken several steps up the way in their produce. If I cannae get something deserving of at least one Michelin star then that Petrie will be getting both barrels in an e-mail from me :a bite:

Just saw the pitch on Facebook. Looks dreadful!
