Doig reclaims his place from Lewis and JDH drops to the bench.

JDH for cadden?

JDH was gubbed at the end of Thursday so no surprise he’s benched. Hopefully Allan makes a difference against their eleven behind the ball.

4 attacking midfielders + Nisbet.

5-0 at half time.

Not loving the team.

Looks a bit like going back to what failed against St Mirren to me.

We'll see.

I don't know who may be carrying a knock or may still be knackered after Thursday but I wouldn't have been in a rush to drop JDH or Stevenson and I suspect we'll have issues trying to accommodate someone in the left wing? striker position who is far from natural there.

Not loving that team today at all but what do I know.. I certainly wouldn't have been dropping Lewis for Doig who has been poor so far this season- and the front 3 looks the same that just didn't work against St Mirren last weekend

A fit JDH would have given us the energy we've lacked against them. Hopefully he'll have enough in the tank to come on and help us see out a win...not very confident though.

Radio seem to think we are going 352

McGinn, Porteous and Hanlon as a back 3. Doig and Cadden as wing back. Newell, Allan and Magennis in the middle with Boyle and Nisbet up top.

I never read it as that initially but I suppose it could make sense.

Assuming three games in a week after illness for JdH is too much which is fair enough. Probably the strongest team we could have played. Cadden is a bit of a square peg in a round hole as a forward winger but with Scott not setting the heather alight so far it’s probably a necessity if we want to stick with the current formation.

Only debate for me might have been straight swap Gogic for JdH but we’re at home so i’m glad we’ve went with an attacking line up.

Edit - if we are going 3-5-2 then disregard 😂

That would make much more sense.

At the St Mirren game I wondered why we didn't do that first half - same personnel but tweaked a bit.

If it's our usual formation but with Boyle or Cadden on the left then it might be a bit of a struggle.

I like Boyle as a striker, I know many don't. With Allan in there to provide some ammo we'd have a cracking threat in behind them, as well as a partner for Nisbet.

Have Hibs been out at the uni during freshers week? Loads of groups of young folk not in colours with a range of accents floating about. Few of them were in the shop buying scarves and the like.

Could be I'm totally wrong but it would be a smart move if we have been.

I don't think we've been as bad as some are making out. They're a difficult team to play. At times we've knocked the ball about well, at others some of the things haven't worked. A different referee and a change of footwear for Boyle and things would look better.

We look more likely to score than them.

No surprises so far, you could have pretty much predicted every single thing that happened.

Ugly, huff and puff, solid enough at the back but just lacking a bit of inspiration in the final third to break down a well-organised unit.

All set so far for the routine 1-0 St Johnstone win I'm afraid.

Strange half.

Started well and knocked it about quite nicely then it all just went to hell for about 20 minutes. We were wasteful, panicking and scrappy. We seemed to just about sort it out for the last few minutes of the half.

They are a nightmare to play against. Yes they are niggly, industrial and spoil the game but they are also a very well organised unit who know what they are set up to do. It's pretty ugly but effective, particularly against us.

Big 45 minutes ahead. First goal wins it.

I don't think we've been as bad as some are making out. They're a difficult team to play. At times we've knocked the ball about well, at others some of the things haven't worked. A different referee and a change of footwear for Boyle and things would look better.

We look more likely to score than them.

Agree. We've been the better team but we need that goal. Get it and we'll go on to win.

Yep Hibs are much better when playing at a higher tempo, all this slow passing it around just allows St J to fall back into shape. They’ve got us sussed and JR doesn’t seem to have any new ideas against them.

Can anyone actually think of a front post run, let alone a goal?

Happy to be corrected, I just genuinely can’t see any front post runs. Against 3 x CD’s it’s so unlikely the cross will get to the back post, even if it does the last CD will be on you.

They are doing to us what St Mirren did. They have a game plan and are playing it well. Looks like they are keen to stop the ball getting to Allan and Newell in the middle and it seems Newell is tracking back deep just to get the ball?

The system looks different, front 3 are fluid and clearly trying to drag the st j defence around. He’s also started Allan which has been called for after the other St J games.

Nisbet's played well.

He's done some decent work, but we have looked short of bodies in the middle when he has gone gallivanting.

There was one time when he took what looked to be a smart quick throw to set Doig free down the left but when Doig got himself into a decent position there was nobody for him to get the ball in to.

I'm not sure if Nisbet just needs to play a role where he doesn't "wander further than the width of the posts" and wait for the other players to create.

People seem surprised at the way the game has gone but its bog standard for when we play StJ. They set up to stifle, not concede and play on the break or rely on a set piece. I thinkcwe have played decent but it was never going to be an open flowing game.

If there was an ideal scenario for us to win this I would hope it's from an error from Zander Clark.

He's a guy I've had an irrational hatred for since he chose to knee slide and was giving it a GIRUY to the FF family section after they scored a late goal against us a few season back.
