Team for the 2nd Leg

[Souter96Mac]

What are everyone's thoughts on the away tie? With last night's win, the tie should be done and dusted, but I'm assuming it'll be a tough place to go and play football. Think it's one of these plastic pitches.

I'd be keen to play a more rotated side, to save some players for the Well game on the following weekend. Need to still be competitive, whilst avoiding any injuries.

Would like to see the below:

Dabrowski
McGinn Porto Hanlon Doig
Magennis Gogic
Bradley Wright Mackay
Gullan

Might be good to give Dabrowski an opportunity, whilst keeping Macey fresh for the league tie

Back 4 not to change too much, to make sure we're still solid at the back, but giving Doig some minutes to add to his fitness. Unlikely for McGregor to start on that plastic pitch.

I'd like to see Magennis get a start, I was impressed with him last night. With injuries to Hallberg and Doyle-Hayes, we've not got too many options in there to be fair - but hopefully JDH is fit enough to be on the bench.

Good opportunity to rest Boyle and Nisbet, whilst giving the likes of Bradley, Mackay and Gullab more opportunities. Don't think Doidge will be fit enough to start, but he could come on for 30 mins 2nd half.

Thoughts on that? Too many changes? They aren't a very good side, but it'll be a slightly different challenge playing over there, but I'm confident whoever we play, we'll pick up another win.

[Juniper Greens]

Doidge should start to build up his fitness. Macey should play as when resting people, no sense in exposing a young keeper. Other than that, inclined to agree with you. Can't risk Nisbetnor Boyle

[calumhibee1]

Macey

McGinn
Porteous
Hanlon
Doig

Wright
Magennis
Gogic
Allan
Mackay

Doidge

[Dmas]

I’d agree with OP team other than doidge for Gullan we need him to get fitness levels going after his lay off give Gullan last half hour, maybe even play Daz as well not just to give a CB a breather id like to see some of that team turned inside out

[Lendo]

Full strength. Destroy them 6 or 7 nill. Horrible wee football team

[O'Rourke3]

Defenders 1-11. Kill the game and dont get stupid cards or injuries.

Remember that Argentine(?) midfielder for Asteras Tripoli? Very skillful, but not afraid to mix it until McGregor stepped in :D

Unless Santa Coloma win by 4 goals next week yes we will.

The next round's first leg will be on Thursday 5th so we can't play on Saturday 7th.

I was presuming we would qualify😀

[Andy74]

Strongest team. You never know under away conditions so get the job done.

[Northernhibee]

Play a few fringe players, protect Nisbet, Boyle etc. and if there’s an opportunity to put a couple of their worst offenders from last week out for a few weeks then absolutely take it. Can’t remember feeling animosity towards an opponent quite like it before.

Me too, win the game and help our coefficient and the countries.

With a game on the Sunday full team to begin with and start pulling boys off. Pointless them going a week and a half without a game into our first league game when there’s no real reason to.

[CMurdoch]

Start with lots of fringe players and bring the big hitters on if required during the last 30 minutes as the part timers begin to tire.

No way we need the players up to speed before the league match on the Sunday and there is a tie to be won - remember Runavik away...we underestimated them and almost came a cropper - full strength for 1st 45 to 60 and get the tie won then start pulling players off

[franks]

Would leave Boyle out as he'll be a marked man after Thursday and be kicked off the park. Last thing we need is an injury to Boyle in a game we can win (or at least Progress from) with out him.

A heads up that the game is behind closed doors. No fans, sorry to break it to those heading over.

I’m sure those going will find some sort of vantage point. Step ladders on tour or hire a cherry picker.:greengrin I’m still tempted to go.

Anyone know the score on live coverage? PPV? Bet 365? If the latter, what's the stream like on bookie sites?

Save your cash for the group stages.

[JohnM1875]

Same team for me other than Magennis in for the suspended Newell and I'd rest Boyle as I think he'll get the same if not worse treatment. Hopefully Murphy is back by then.

Get a goal first then think about making some changes. Temperature will be a nightmare, looking like 26 on Thursday.

I have managed to pair my TV to the You Tube channel so will be able to watch properly. I was annoyed that Virgin Media had removed their You Tube channel. However I found that Amazon Prime have a You Tube channel and that works!

Did the team leave Edinburgh today?

That was a beautiful moment, he came on acting like a hard man. He was soon put in his place by big Daz, it happened right in front of me in the West. The best thing is we got the free kick.

Love the commentary....

'Darren McGregor's inadvertently caught him in the face with his, eh, knees.....!'

[bingo70]

I wouldn’t play anyone that’s on a booking.

[gbhibby]

Heard that Ron has bought American football kit and is taking it to Andorra

Remember that well. Remember at the time pishing myself laughing then next leg guy was wearing a face mask as Daz fractured his cheekbone!!

[007]

Pushed him over, stepped on him, pushed him over again, fell on him then puts in what look like a few wrestling moves on him, seemed a fair tackle to me. 😀

Saw Jamie Murphy in the Hibs Twitter video at the airport
Would be nice to get some minutes into his legs tomorrow night

Yeah noticed that too. The tie is all but won so would like to see Nisbet and Boyle rested and hopefully Doidge and Murphy getting some good minutes.

[Since90+2]

We'll go with our strongest team.

I've had a look and it's to be 33 degrees (with a feels like temperature of 35) with very little wind at kick off time. That's very hot to be playing a game of football in and will potentially have a knock on effect for team selection on the Sunday.

Ross said Doig & Doidge will be getting minutes. I'd imagine they will start.

[GreenCastle]

Would be good to give Drey Wright some decent minutes - let him try get his confidence back up.

Doidge and Doig will start.

Can see us just sitting in as it’s going to be really hot weather and hitting them on the break.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'd not be starting any of those players who were booked in the first game, this lot are cynical and will target them.

Whatever fringe players we have playing will be enough to win this tie, they are sheite, and we are much better.
