Hibs 0 Motherwell 2

[Billy Whizz]

Not much chat about today’s massive game
Need the 3 points to at least maintain the gap between Hibs and Aberdeen
Can’t see too many changes from last weeks starting 11

I’m hoping the pitch is a wee bit better than last weeks

Yep. I saw a Well fan say that Declan Gallacher might be back today so they may not be as poor at the back.

Would like to see Nisbet on a bit earlier this week.

Us and Celtic winning would be huge.

Trolling?!

[JimBHibees]

Huge game vital we get the points given three tricky away games. Watched most of the St Mirren Motherwell game which was pretty poor in awful conditions but they battled away well and will take some confidence from the point. Think Cole and Watt are a threat also noticed they had Hearts loan guy Roberts playing. Would be surprised if we didn't create a number of chances and think we can dominate midfield though Campbell battled well.

Another 2 0 I think

[B.H.F.C]

Hope to see him back in the starting lineup today.

Three or four players with wee niggles, hopefully they all make it.

Assuming everyone is available it will be a difficult job for Jack Ross to pick the starting line up.

He left Gogic out last week, a bit unfairly I thought and I'm not sure it this helped Hamilton control the game until the sending off.

I thought Jamie Murphy was poor so his position might come under scrutiny.

Porto for McGinn may also be worth considering.

Don’t think Porto would give us the forward movement out wide that McGinn supports ...also sense Ross really trusts McGinn, so would be surprised ...

He’s not a manager who changes without reason is he ...although suspect he’d like to get Nisbet back in the side ...

[HH81]

Tough game today I reckon. Fancy a 2-1 win though. Best go sign up to PPV 😁

Then again cool my covid pay out is still covering the cost of games.

[Highwayman]

Watched Sportscene last Saturday night mainly to have another look at the Hamilton red card.

Had to sit through the “highlights” of the St Johnstone v Motherwell game.Motherwell were rank rotten,but I wouldn’t expect to be as a bad this afternoon and don’t think it will be one of these so called easy games.

It doesn’t make sense to me that our top goal scorer Nisbet sits on the bench for most of the game.That would be my only change from last week,Nisbet for Murphy.

If Nisbet plays, which I think he should, has to be up front where he’s done all his good things for us. Don’t think like trying to fit folk in.

Agree with this and I'd like to see him back in today.

It didn't have an overly negative impact last week, but only because of the early red card.

Either Irvine or Newell.



Edit: Newell would be the more obvious choice but I mentioned Irvine because I think he has an injury.

League games was February - March 2011

Ended with a draw at St J

It came after a run of five defeats, including getting pumped out of the cup by Ayr Utd...

Would be carnage dropping any of them for Gogic IMO if they were both fit. Newell is the all round footballer and Irvine is the legs. We don’t need a limited battering ram at home to Motherwell, same as we didn’t need one vs Hamilton.

I faintly remember one Akpo Sodje going on an incredible scoring run at that point of the season too, including a thunderbolt against Aberdeen and lobbing the keeper against someone else from about twenty yards. Not entirely sure he meant any of it but there you go.

Motherwell are reasonably strong in the centre of the pitch; I don't think it'd hurt to have Gogic in there to allow our other midfielders a bit more protection.

Yeah, I get why people would be reluctant to drop either of them for Gogic, but I think players like him are often underrated in how much they break up the opposition.

TBH, it depends how Motherwell set up today. Maybe we won't need a midfield enforcer, but it's a tough call to make.

We were all over the place without Gogic at 11v11, Hamilton created more chances in 10 minutes than most teams create in 90 when Gigic is playing. He's been great for us and I would play him most weeks, we lose the midfield when he doesn't play.

[PatHead]

We ran At Johnstone ragged for the first half hour in the semi and lost it when they scored. Who is to say that wouldn't have happened last week?

You could say the same about the St Mirren away game. Gogic and Irvine in the middle and they dominated us until the red card. It was only ten minutes last week, they started quicker but was hardly an indicator of how the game would go. Newell when fit has to play, he dictates the game and is the one player in our squad who will take the ball and keep it. Teams might not run through us with Gogic and Irvine but we sure as hell won’t dominate the ball with them.

[Sir David Gray]

I’d replace Murphy with Nisbet but have Nis upfront with Doidge and have Boyle in Murphy’s position.

[CMurdoch]

You must be joking, Boyle upfront has scored and set up goals as well as destroying 2 teams by getting their players sent off. Need to leave him where he is.

Absolutely nothing to say that wouldn't have happened, however that is conjecture whereas what I said was fact.

[lord bunberry]

It’s great we’re all talking about who should be playing after 4 straight wins. You’d think the team would pick itself at this stage, but we’ve got such a strong bench it doesn’t. I’d freshen it up a bit today and bring in Nisbet and probably Porteous for Murphy and big Daz. Irvine could possibly do with a break as well and Gogic could replace him. I’m mindful of those games after Christmas when the players looked out on their feet after not getting much rest.

We won’t get as much down the left today but still a good squad.

Hope Scott gets some time today. Maybe when we’re 2/3 up. Which take me back to prediction time. 3-0.

Looking forward to it today should be a decent game, not sure what to expect from motherwell at all, some decent players just up and down form wise, hopefully we can keep on rolling the Dons up against it today could be a good day for 3rd place

Interesting to see Gallagher back on the bench. Still not sure if he has been missing due to injury or for contractual reasons.
Polworth on the bench due to messing up recently getting sent off and giving penalty away.
Steven Lawless still not getting himself into the team which is surprising given his good performances for Livingston last season although he didn't get much activity during his wee spell down south.
Hastie and Long still doing nothing and Mugabe out

Surprised the poor Lamie and Roberts are in their team
Kelly will be a big player today and hopefully we can get at least one past him.

I'm going for a Hibs win and a clean sheet.
Boyle chaos again for the opposition with ammunition from Irvine, Newell, Murphy & Doidge

Well taken goal and deserving of their effort so far, they are running their socks off.

[Stuart93]

We could get a hiding here, this is a Ross county/livi/st J display so far, absolute pish

[Spike Mandela]

This game has the feel of the St Johnstone semi final.

[Brightside]

Midfield setup is a shocker today. PMCgin having to come into the middle of the park due to our midfielders being all over the place. Dropping Gogic has made no sense to me at all.

[Gatecrasher]

Just carrying on our performance from last week. Awful stuff.

[Dmas]

Coming a mile off. Get Gogic on.


agree, theyre 3 giving the CBs a hard time gogic protecting would help out, offer the protection for the wide men to get going as well

[dalkeith stu]

Well that was coming!!! Who said Gogic shouldn't start games like these???

[wookie70]

Soon as Newall is back in the team we are giving up the midfield. Get Gogic back on.

Newall has made plenty tackles and isn't the issue

[Onion]

They're killing us. Their front 3 are having a party.

[we are hibs]

When was the last time doidge actually scored a goal?

Campbell looking good and popping up on our box regularly. Still hope we can sign him.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

You’re a week too late with that. Think it was CWG that cracked it last week, even the half time entertainment bit.:greengrin

I'm sure it's been on the go longer than that, as each week goes by it doesn't get any funnier.

[RIP]

Doidge fluffs his lines yet again. Corner wasted

[wookie70]

Fresh air swing from Doidge, another very good chance passed up

[Since452]

Test of character this. It's been pretty good of late so got faith.

[Wull]

Do we have 11on the park looks like 9 to me

[Stuart93]

Think this game was screaming out for gogic imo, I would’ve sacrificed Murphy to bring him in

[jacomo]

Settle down.

[GreenCastle]

Soon as Newall is back in the team we are giving up the midfield. Get Gogic back on.

Correct - as good as Newell has done this season the balance was better with Gogic who was playing well - plus Irvine plays better. Gogic needs to protect the back 2. Newell isn’t doing that

Murphy is offering nothing - didn’t even know he was playing.

[Hiber-nation]

We're not good enough to have the luxury of Gogic on the bench. Wide open and so sloppy.

[RIP]

We are really missing Irvine and Murphy here

[Hibbyradge]

We're missing Gogic again, same as last week.

Win the middle, win the match.

[Stuart93]

Settle down.

The way things have went so far it’s a possibility, Motherwell creating plenty

[J-C]

Poor 1st half so far, Motherwell by far the better team and the goals been coming for the past 10 mins.

Jeezo Doidge, a complete miss from a good ball in by Murphy, deffo think the sending off helped last week, very disjointed performance so far.

[Coco Bryce]

Why are all the high balls into the box aimed at Boyle?

Doidge should be in there.

[hibee-boys]

Too many players posted missing so far.

[Brightside]

Newall has made plenty tackles and isn't the issue

You can’t play Irvine and Newall. One has to drop in and neither does it. Hence why our 3 at the back at exposed. In the 343 the 4 must be a diamond. It’s never is when. Newall and Irvine play together

[Since452]

I can see why was. You'd have thought Newell would be buzzing with his new deal. Think Gogic might have been touch and go for today though.

[B.H.F.C]

Newall has made plenty tackles and isn't the issue

Keep reading that he’ll dictate games like this and we don’t need the likes of Gogic at home to Motherwell etc.

Should never have been changed after our best performance of the season against Aberdeen.

[Helensburghhibs]

442 doesn't work. Mcgregor rightly got plaudits for our change in form but I believe playing 352 was the biggest factor

We are playing 343. Have been for weeks now.

[Hibs90]

Newell having a shocker

[wookie70]

When was the last time doidge actually scored a goal?

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

12 Dec. That is 11 games and he has played a fair chunk of the 90 minutes in most of them. He has had at least one very good chance in every game and multiple chances in quite a few. No idea how he starts as he isn't that great at holding it up and rarely gets involved

[Diclonius]

This team has done well the last few games but not working today. Need to change things up at half time.

[Stuart93]

Forgot their goalscorer is the guy on loan from hearts. Of course it is

[jacomo]

We seem to have gone more 4-4-2 with Murphy wide left and Cadden out right.

Tam McManus just making the point that Cadden is finding space if we can find him with the ball.

[cabbageandribs1875]

motherwell should consider taking their keeper off and putting another outfield player on...there's no need for him here












:(

[nonshinyfinish]

We're playing 352.

[Helensburghhibs]

We definitely are not . Stevenson is left back and mvginn right. The previous few weeks have been 352 with Boyle and doidge up front

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

This is really poor. Motherwell have sussed us out.

There no urgency and no desire to make something happen.

[Helensburghhibs]

We're playing 352.

The game I'm watching we are definitely playing a 4 with stevenson left back mginn right back

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Dire stuff so far.

[easty]

Far too static going forward. Too happy to leave it to the player on the ball to make something happen.

[RIP]

Zero pressure on the man with the ball. Is this a tactic of Jack Ross does anyone know or just laziness on the part of the players?

[AL-Qaholik]

Wingbacks doesn’t work when Lewis plays. Too slow to get back which leaves too much space behind and forces the holding midfielders to spread out, leaving massive gaps.

Change of shape needed.

That, and Doidge off...

[roo62]

Coming a mile off. Get Gogic on.

Agreed. Not sure why he thinks our lightweight midfield can do without Gogic on a poor playing surface. We do miss him to get us on the ball more.

[JohnMcM]

It seems Alexander has done his homework on us. They’re squeezing the middle and taking away any real space from us. (I think):confused:

[Onion]

That is pish by Newall. Slows the play right down, fires a 40 yard ball out of play. We nee much better.

[blackpoolhibs]

Newell thinks he's Stevie Mallan, and Doidge is the new Joe Ward.:rolleyes:

[wookie70]

Flag saves Doidge's blushes again. Murphy has had a few good moments but needs to get more involved.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Daz pushed the boy in the back there should have been a foul

[we are hibs]

Doidge off and Nisbet on at HT hopefully. Allan for Murphy too.

This Hibs team would be a lot better if it actually dragged it's arse out of first gear.

A terrible, lethargic display so far and deservedly behind.

[Stuart93]

Got a great chance to open the gap and we put in a performance like this so far? Pretty poor

[Since452]

One of the players who were carrying a knock

[jacomo]

We're playing 352.


We started that way but seem to have changed it.

[GreenCastle]

Sort the midfield and we have a chance in this game.

Leave it and they will get a 2nd goal and game over.

[Tambo]

10 minutes to create something but not looking like it, changes at half time I hope.

[Onceinawhile]

Flag saves Doidge's blushes again. Murphy has had a few good moments but needs to get more involved.

How he misses by that far, from that close, I'll never understand.

[My old man]

This is really poor. Motherwell have sussed us out.

Agree 100%
Need to move the ball a lot quicker
GGTTH

[Gatecrasher]

Dropping our goalscorer and most athletic defender have caught up with us.

[Dmas]

Doidge is needing a spell out the team, nothings going for him and he's looking a shadow of how he was end of last season, time to get nisbet back in for me

[B.H.F.C]

Doidge is offside or fouling and offering nothing else. Get Nisbet on.

[delbert]

That is pish by Newall. Slows the play right down, fires a 40 yard ball out of play. We nee much better.

We gave Boyle a new contract and he disappeared for 3 months, I think Newell must have the same agent giving out the same advice !

[Brightside]

Campbell proving why we should be going for him. Much more energy than anyone we have in the middle.

[blackpoolhibs]

How he misses by that far, from that close, I'll never understand.
It was nowhere near hitting his erse, thats why.

[Mikey_1875]

ridiculous yellow

[wookie70]

Never a booking for Doidge.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

What do fourth officials do seems to be lots of chatter earlier and must be of some influence on the game if the managers are yapping away at them. ...

[Hibernian Verse]

Some hopeless decisions so far. Doidge gets headered and takes a booking.
