Hibs v St Johnstone

[Since452]

The excitement around the cup has understandably taken over things this week but what a massive game today. A win would near enough guarantee 3rd place. A tremendous achievement for the club. We are due to give St Johnstone a going over.

I would appreciate a routine, no drama, comfortable win please.



For us and Livingston

[hibsbollah]

An extra £250,000 for finishing 3rd. That’s a decent amount at stake.

[Northernhibee]

Sooner we wrap up third the sooner we can concentrate on the cup.

[ACLeith]

If our result is better than Aberdeen then we have 3rd place.

[Lendo]

We are due a win over them at home.

Going with a 3-1 win

[CapitalGreen]

A point will be enough for 3rd but hopefully we get a win to boost confidence going into next week.

[Since452]

St Johnstone have nothing to play for really. I'd expect them to rest a few players today

[Sean1875]

A solid, comfortable win could also be great for us mentally if we were to get Saints in the final. Big game this.

Fifth place is important as it is, potentially, a European place so plenty still for St Johnstone to play for.

[Forza Fred]

I would appreciate a routine, no drama, comfortable win please.


For us and Livingston

Me too, but Johnstone may have other ideas.

Last time they conceded 2 goals in a game was back in February against Celtic,

Their last six away games they have only conceded 2 goals.

It will be very tight I reckon.

[Sir David Gray]

They do, if we win the cup and they finish 5th instead of 6th then they'll get into Europe.

[JammyDoidger]

Honestly couldn't care too much about the result. No injurys is the most important thing today!

[Sir David Gray]

A point will be enough for 3rd but hopefully we get a win to boost confidence going into next week.

It will probably end up being enough but if we draw today and Aberdeen beat Livingston and us then they'll go into the last game just one point behind us.

Obviously that last game's at Ibrox which they're unlikely to win but I'd rather it didn't come down to that.

Let's get the win today please, that record v St Johnstone needs to change.

[neil7908]

Desperate to get 3rd nailed down today so we can start planning, and resting players (if need be) for the cup.

[RoYO!]

A win today breaks a mental block we've been having with them. Would be huge for confidence especially as, all going well, we will meet them in the final in the knowledge that we have their number.

[Keith_M]

I'm a bit of a traditionalist, where I want to see Hibs win a game just for the joy of winning.

My next level of motivation is that it's St Johnstone, and we owe them a drubbing.

After that, I'll go and look at the league table and see how we're doing in regards to finishing third.

[CapitalGreen]

I know it’s mathematically possible but it won’t happen as Aberdeen are absolutely gash.

[Ronniekirk]

We haven’t beaten them at home since around2012 I think That has to change at some point and no time like the present

Not won any of our last 6 home league games against them.

i'm looking forward to whichever st johnstone player has a good game against us then some posters suggesting we sign him



:greengrin


maybe drey wright will come on and score a screamer to win us all three points

Apart from the chance of securing third place, it a dead rubber :confused:

:agree: Our record hasn’t been great against them and we don’t want to be going into a potential cup final with the doubt that we don’t know how to beat them. Full team going for it from the first minute.

[Brightside]

Full team win comfortably.

[Hibee Mac]

Match Aberdeen's result today and it's all but over, given our superior goal difference. Better their result and it is officially over.

[flash]

Full team win comfortably.

Based on what out of curiosity?

[marinello59]

:agree: Our record hasn’t been great against them and we don’t want to be going into a potential cup final with the doubt that we don’t know how to beat them. Full team going for it from the first minute.

But if we lose against them again today the fear of losing against them again will have been removed. Or something like that. :greengrin

I’m confident our team will get the job done today. We are in good form, very well organised and extremely hard working. I can’t see anything but three points for us.

[truehibernian]

Be interesting to see what Saintees team is selected today - the Cup offers them (and us) a huge financial windfall, as well as the kudos of being potential double winners, a scenario very unlikely to ever happen again in their history. Will they play a slightly weakened side and throw all their eggs in the cup basket :coffee:

Securing 3rd is a massive achievement for us, not just the extra prize money but a real tangible sign of progress since being promoted and a pre-season target ticked off. Whatever side they play, it'll be a very tough game and we need to be on it and try and keep momentum going into our semi final.

[Pretty Boy]

I'd take any win today. It doesn't have to be pretty or emphatic.

[Peevemor]

I'd take any win today. It doesn't have to be pretty or emphatic.Same here.

[Onion]

Got to win or at least not lose today, to seal 3rd place. That's removes pressure and having to go hard against Aberdeen and Celtic. Also sets a marker for potential Cup Final.

[Allant1981]

We are playing well and they look full of confidence just now. Think we will win by a couple of goals today

[Brightside]

Based on its what I want. Nothing improves confidence like winning.

Ah got you. I misunderstood your post.

[Dr What If?]

I can see two non eventful draws in the games today, us and St J will be looking over our shoulders at difficult (but winnable) SFs, and Aberdeen/Livi will already be seeing their seasons as done (yes there is a chance league places could change, but unlikely).

Now I have made my prediction we can sit back and watch a couple of nine goals thrillers that will change the complexion of the whole season :greengrin

[Billy Whizz]

Presume Boyle is up front

[Stuart93]

Presume Boyle is up front

Aye would reckon so with Wright wide right. Pity Cadden’s injured

[Smartie]

I've actually thought the criticism of Wright has been over the top. He hasn't been brilliant but he's been a valuable part of some stuffy team performances, notably against Rangers. Quite why that translates into a start today I don't know and if Boyle has been shuffled up front to take the place of Nisbet then nobody could argue that Wright isn't a drastic downgrade on Boyle, certainly in the attacking sense.

That single change makes me a bit twitchy about today tbh. Our squad is thin and whilst our first team is solid, we have little outside of it for situations like this. It would be magic for Wright to come in and actually make a significant positive impact.

I'd love it if we won and like others I'd take it any which way it came, but I'd be happy with a 90 minute performance. I've been becoming increasingly irked by our outstanding starts to games before falling away and almost giving games away. Again, as long as we're getting results that's all that matters but I don't have much confidence at the moment that we have what it takes to win the two cup games and not chuck one of them away in this fashion. It's a habit we could do with ditching.

[Hibee Mac]

To me that shows how our squad still needs investment for next year. One injury to a striker and our team starts to look a bit mish mashed from middle to front.

I'd like to think we'll be alright today but I really hope Nisbet is back for the cup game

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I was mightily impressed with how they closed Rangers down in the cup game. I thought they couldn’t keep it going for the whole 90 minutes but they did and they kept it going right through extra time also.

Never thought I’d be happy with a draw against St. Johnston but they have gained my respect as a very decent side. A wee draw wouldn’t be the worst result today.

Yeah, I thought that was an odd comment – looks like the usual 352 to me. I specifically looked to see if the formation changed with/without the ball, which Ross sometimes likes to do, but I can't see a back four at any point (with the usual caveat that being restricted to the tv angles makes it hard to see definitively).

[Squealing pig]

We had started pretty well here albeit it was a bit flat. We can't gift St Johnstone goals like that though. We know they will punish us and can see a game out.

Absolute basics and Porteous needs to cut that out. It seems he saves his worst for games v this mob.

He has been very good for about 6 weeks and playing a far more sensible game. I think he reaches a point where his confidence outmuscles his experience and that pass is the result. You could see it coming as he was very slack with the ball right from ko.

[matty_f]

Terrible goal to lose, that. After doing so well to win the ball, to lose it like that is criminal.

Disappointing game so far, we’ve not tested their keeper at all, 25 minutes in.

Drey Wright has been the bright spot so far.

[mayo hibee]

Have to laugh at some of the comments about Porteous here this week. If we get offered a million for him we should let him off, he's no better now than he was when he first broke through a few years ago, hasn't improved on his weaknesses at all.

[Stuart93]

we've created next to zilch against this st johnstone 2nd string

They’re set up perfectly to negate our threat. Play high up against our full backs and put pressure on us whenever we have the ball and we **** ourselves, similar to how they got their goal

Agreed,their set up will need a really good performance from us to break through.

[wookie70]

It still amazes me that we didn't buy another centre forward. Boyle has been brilliant wide with two front men to interact with and we have to change that because of one injury.

[Spike Mandela]

St Johnstone just seem to have the measure of us this season.

[Stuart93]

It seems like we’re a man down whenever we’ve got the ball, absolutely nobody looking for it and barely getting any space, flat looking

[Heisenberg]

We’ve got absolutely nothing on the bench to change it up. Really weak squad once a few injuries kick in.

I think he's a bit of a liability at times.

Clearly he has a lot of decent attributes and has had some very good performances for us but I think he believes his own hype. The mistakes he makes are mental as much as anything. Poor concentration, not paying attention, lack of awareness.

He's never going to get to the level he clearly thinks he's going to get to if he can't stay focussed and do the absolute basics against St Johnstone.

I think we've got a big dilemma when it comes to trusting him in the cup games. In all likelihood he'll fancy the big stage and being in the shop window but I just don't trust him not to make basic, costly mistakes.

Especially when McGregor has shown that he still has what it takes to come into the side and perform.

[J-C]

Poor free kick by Newell and then switches off when the ball comes out, blatant body block for a foul, very poor by Newell.

[H18 SFR]

It is as if they think we have already secured third.

[Squealing pig]

Middleton playing better than he did full time at hibs

[MWHIBBIES]

It is as if they think we have already secured third.

To be fair, we have. It was over when Griffiths scored against Aberdeen.

[blackpoolhibs]

Not invisible now, he's just got a yellow card

Aye for ball watching. :rolleyes:

[Brightside]

Newell off at HT please. zero energy in the middle of the park.

[blackpoolhibs]

Newell off at HT please. zero energy in the middle of the park.

You and your agenda.

I’m dreading facing this shower in the final

[Peevemor]

I wish Cliff would just commentate.

[Keith_M]

Hibs are so predictable, it's no surprise St J have defended so well against us.

We take so long to do anything, with so many passes, nobody making space and no quick movement.

[Zazu62]

We need strikers

[cabbageandribs1875]

Maybe we should of played our second string
To make seven changes and still play to Thier system says a lot about Thier transfer policy and coaching etc
But fir Ryan to do that was criminal
Still it lets us see if we can comeback and win game

unfortunately my bet is looking good just now

[SaulGoodman]

Criminal so far. Players don’t look arsed.

[J-C]

Yep this is the problem of going with a smaller squad, was criminal to let gullan leave on loan as well. Barely any competition in the squad.


Add Mallan to that, plus Allan coming back from his illness and we're at the bare bones, why was Hallberg not starting today?

[wookie70]

That is worse that Boyle's dives

[Heisenberg]

I’m dreading facing this shower in the final

This is their reserve side too and we’ve hardly made them work for it. Abysmal stuff so far.

[007]

Let's see if Sportscene call that one out.

[cabbageandribs1875]

our SF opponents getting beat 2-0 at home to Ross Co

Dropping out the team for the semi final next week would be the absolute making of Porteous in my opinion.

I’m dreading our shower in the Semi.

[Pretty Boy]

Some save that. What is it with keepers turning into superheroes against us?

[Keith_M]

Fantastic save... sadly.

[MWHIBBIES]

Good save, better from Hibs.

[wookie70]

Brilliant effort very good save

[Weegreenman]

St Johnstone just seem to have the measure of us this season.


They are a well balanced side who are comfortable on the ball. They like to knock it around. We on the other hand struggle when in possession!

[Hibs Class]

Boyle did well to get on the end of that, but well enough saved

[The Modfather]

Looks like today is one of those random non performances we throw in. Tempting to just accept our fate and go do something else.

[Hibs90]

Can see what’s coming a mile off. Lose this, beat next week, lose out on 3rd. It’s classic Hibs.

*insert fishing smiley*

[Keith_M]

What a terrible free-kick.

[wookie70]

Hibs TV down?

[Stuart93]

Was similar against st J away from home as well

[SteveHFC]

Hibs TV cutting off there maybe a good thing. 👀

[JXM73]

Streams crashed... thank **** as the performance has been shockin...

[Weegreenman]

Brilliant effort very good save


Ye that was so much better.

[tonyrougier123]

Ross needs a better game plan here,my screen has now went blank ffs😂😂

[Sir David Gray]

St Johnstone just seem to have the measure of us this season.

They've had the measure of us at Easter Road for more than a decade - we've won three times against them at home in 12 years.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

My Hibs TV has now died!!

[Since452]

Bloody St Johnstone

[Andy74]

Last 2 weeks have been a joke on the stream front.

[J-C]

Picture is off, big green screen.:confused:

[whiskyhibby]

Live feed down?

[Lendo]

The Streaming crashing might be the
motivation I need to turn this ***** off and go for a walk

[madhatter]

Says it all to some extent that Drey Wright has been one of our best players. Credit to him but the rest have been so poor.

Ah well, streams down as well...

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Respite.

[Irish_Steve]

Aye, nothing here either

[Hibs Class]

My Hibs TV has now died!!

And mine, on all links

[Sir David Gray]

Yeah feed's down, probably doing us a favour.

[Keith_M]

Hibs TV been turned off for the sake of out health...

[semaj64]

Presume working hard to restore tv

[oconnors_strip]

Nothing on screen and can’t get logged back in

[CMurdoch]

Picture is off, big green screen.:confused: snap

[Keith_M]

Hibs TV been turned off for the sake of our health...

[Stuart93]

Pretty disappointing when we can more or less wrap up 3rd today and the players put in a half arsed performance

[Hibee87]

500 error, would assume server has crashed

[madhatter]

Will they restore it in time for half time with Tanner?

[wookie70]

Flicked to the Aberdeen game and they play a back pass short and Livi pass up an easy chance. Fine margins

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Wtf ? Hibs PPV blown oot the water!

[Pretty Boy]

Irvine booked according to a couple of people on Twitter.

[tonyrougier123]

Hibs playing passes when they could be running in to acres of space,try and draw them out hibs!!

[CMurdoch]

Hibs TV been turned off for the sake of our health...

Porteous has broken Hibs TV now!
On the upside I won't see Spanner trying to sell crap at halftime.

[Lago]

I’m dreading facing this shower in the final
Be very lucky to get to the final

[Irish_Steve]

Watching it now on Very Important Personbox and it`s still brutal viewing!

[tonyrougier123]

Switch to away feed ppl

[The Modfather]

Think the stream crashing is probably the highlight of the first half.

[semaj64]

Not missed much then. Hopefully half time talk will do the trick

[Brightside]

HT 0-1 Hibs pish. Back to the studio.
