Saints v Hibs

[Billy Whizz]

With Boyle and Doidge out today, wonder what sort of team we’ll have on the park
Most of the Defence picks itself with Ryan available
Jack has been making noises about James Scott looking sharper, we could do with a big strong player up front, against Saints back line
Todays the day we need to use our squad

[RossScott1991]

St Johnstone have a fair amount of issues upfront.

Kane, Middleton , stevie May and Wotherspoon all out for St Johnstone

Would take a scrappy draw to end the run of defeats , hopefully we can nick it from somewhere

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Macey

McGinn Porteous Hanlon

Cadden Newell JDH Campbell Doig

Nisbet Gullan

[B.H.F.C]

Allan surely gets a start today with the lack of options in the final third.

[greenlex]

Macey

McGinn Porteous Hanlon

Cadden Newell JDH Campbell Doig

Nisbet Gullan

Be surprised if this isn’t how we line up. Maybe Scott will get the nod over Gullan.
Having said that we can’t batter them. Maybe Allan’s guile to open them up.

[Since452]

Need to make sure we don't get beat today and build from there.

[Brightside]

Allan surely gets a start today with the lack of options in the final third.

I’ve liked Campbell when he has played this season but I agree we need someone who can unlock a stubborn defence. So we sacrifice the work rate of Campbell for the Hollywood passing of Allan. Give Allan 60 mins at full pelt from the start.

[JimBHibees]

Macey

McGinn Porteous Hanlon

Cadden Newell JDH Campbell Doig

Nisbet Gullan

That would be the team I would play. Let's keep it solid and hopefully nick a goal or two. Allan can come on if we need a goal. Think Campbell deserves to keep his place.

He’s like a man down though. Not got enough hard workers around to get him in the starting team

Ah the old Allan is a man down one. His contribution (goals and assists) for the minutes he’s had on the park has been good. Our lack of creativity is much more of a concern than folk being willing to run.

Not for me. He had a terrible subs appearance on Wednesday. Gave the ball away very cheaply every time he was involved, didn't work hard and tried a ridiculous Ronaldo turn that nearly led to a second goal. I'd keep it the same as we had in the semi final but have Scott or Gullan in for Boyle. Saints have far more injury issues than we do so we should go up there confident in getting 3 points

He was sent on when we were chasing the game and we’re all over the shop.

Pretty sure he got MOTM in the game against St Johnstone last time.

That midfield was good against Rangers but I thought the other night showed we need something different in these types of game.

If you look at our team the other night people running wasn’t our issue.

With no Boyle, the same team has next to no threat though.

Also, Allan does actually run about a bit.

[oneone73]

I wonder if Murphy might take the Allan role?

The midfield/wing backs created quite a few very good chances. Nisbet and Hanlon missed them. It was a shocking goal to lose but up until that point we were in control of the match. I'll grant you we were chasing the game and that is all the more reason not to give the ball away cheaply. I counted three times he had the ball. Terrible pass, nudged of the ball and failed Ronaldo. No real attempt to charge around trying to get the ball back after his mistakes either. It may of course be different today as we don't have Boyle catching the focus of the opposition's defence and giving us that energy and dynamism. Scottie may well be involved but I wouldn't start him. Jack Ross might have given a clue when he pointed to keeping clean sheets guarantees getting something from games. We might see a pragmatic line up today which given our horrendous league form would be understandable. Ross knows we have to start picking up points or we could be in a bit of bother

[Keith_M]

Last weekend we were going into the game on the back of four straight defeats, a covid outbreak and no game for over three weeks.

Fingers crossed that Hibs can somehow surprise us today in much the same way as they did last Sunday.


TBH, a 1-0 win from a dodgy penalty in the 90th minute would be enough for me

[StockholmHibs]

We are so inconsistent im almost expecting the 3 points.

Wouldnt be surprised to see gogic back in today, that defence needs some protection just now if we are to stop this run of crap league form

I’m with you. I’d far rather have a football player in our side who makes mistakes but tries to be positive and creative rather than someone who works hard but offers heehaw in an attacking sense.

[B.H.F.C]

He should, in theory, offer some protection but he’s been directly involved in quite a few goals when he’s been on the park. Been miles off it this season.

[tmb1875]

We need goals. 2 strikers with Allan in behind and go for it, or do the usual and get beat 1 nil.

Given Newell and JDH have been pretty good the last two games I'd be amazed if Gogic starts. I get why some would want Allan in and he may well start but I get the feeling Ross will be very pragmatic, stick with the team as much as he can that started the last two games and try and build from there. Getting someone up alongside Nisbet is important imo. Campbell has done well and is one of the reasons we have looked better as we are pressing much higher and more frequently. He deserves his place today. I hope Allan isn't shoehorned in and we end up with Nisbet isolated up top. He looks so much better when he has his mates nearby and has shown he creates chances when he has support

[CMurdoch]

I'm not an Allan fan but it is unfair to judge him on Wednesday night.
He is a luxury in an 11 so when we went down to 10 it wasn't the game for him.
The team totally went to pieces after the sending off.
I disregarded all the post Doidge part of the match.
Up until then our issue was only how to score.
We have lost Boyle from that team and gained Porteous.

Someone like Scott needs to arrive today.
He is a big guy and has ability.
Some testicular fortitude required from him.

It's a pitch Wright has played on many times in his career so he might be worth a run out.

We need 3 points today, draws are not worth a sook.

[ekhibee]

Is it on PPV?

[Unseen work]

………..………Macey………..

……McGinn…Porteous…Hanlon….

Cadden…..JDH……..Newell……Doig…..

………………..Campbell……

…………Nisbet……….Gullan……

Majority of the team that played against Rangers with the obvious exception of Boyle.

Porteous back in makes a massive difference in terms of defending and going forward and playing out from the back.

Although we lost on Wednesday we need to remember that for the most part we played well and created a lot of chances whilst we conceded a really poor/lucky goal. In that game we never done much wrong at all.

Campbell had been good in both game IMO and deserves to keep his place, he certainly doesn’t deserve to lose it to Allan.

Murphy back from injury could mean we change shape as Ross likes getting him in the team.

Throw up is between who partners Nisbet, going by Ross’ comments and recent subs you’d imagine it would be Gullan. Funnily enough I wouldn’t mind Wright starting up top next to him as IMO one of his best games was last season when he played up front - movement is one of his best attributes for me.

They will play the same game they always play and will be set up knowing the way we set up. Nisbet could be dropped to the bench and Gullan and Scott start up front and Cadden further forward. Need to try something different against them.

Dropping Nisbet now would be mad. He looks like he is coming into a bit of form to me. Scored a great goal at Ibrox, set up a goal in the semi and produced some good link play and got into great positions against the Staggies. He isn't a one man up top player but we only have Doidge for that and that isn't an option for the next two games. Get someone within 15 yards or so of Kev and he will do well for us.

[He's here!]

We are so inconsistent im almost expecting the 3 points.

Our league form is, sadly, the most consistent of any team with 5 straight defeats. Hard to see past another one today I fear. I'd take a point just to halt the rot.

I just think because we have played them so often that trying something different might be the answer, if it is not working we have him to bring on. We are missing his goals this season. Think Scott and him are too similar to play together.
Nisbet will probably score a hat trick today.

[500miles]

I think we'll need Allan's creativity, so we'll need to build the team around that. Campbell should be encouraged to push high at every opportunity.

[Jones28]

If there was ever a player needing a goal it’s Nisbet, would great for him and Hibs to stop the rot. It will be a scrap today, I wonder if Ross might put Gogic in the midfield to do the dirty work with Allan and one of JDH/Newall/Campbell doing the box to box role.

Is Porteous fit?

Allan is far from a luxury. But he needs someone with real energy beside him. Which we don’t really have with Magennis out. And it doesn’t seem like the manager would have Campbell and Allan in the same team with Newell and JDH.

Your 2nd sentence explains why he is a luxury.
He will probably come on in the last 20 minutes if we need help to unlock the door.

[Mikey_1875]

Couple of options off the bench in Allan and Murphy if things aren’t working out at least. Probably a good chance we will see the new and improved James Scott as well!

[Hibee87]

Obviously I would rather have Boyle, I'm not saying that I wouldn't. But (in my beer induced mind) not having him may help us today.
St J (and many other teams) kick Boyle all over the shop and 2/3 men on him in games like this and pretty much mark him out of it and frustrate us. Not having in the the team means they will take a different approach which COULD work in our favour.

They really need told in no uncertain terms that they need to improve and learn from their countless mistakes.

Hibs totally dominating play and playing well. Could do with a wee break of the ball.

[Ronniekirk]

66 percent possession to hibs

The officials performance smells a bit to me. Far too many poor decisions against only one team

[Irish_Steve]

Just lacking that final spark, a bit like Wednesday

[CmoantheHibs]

Tremendous pass by Newell. Nisbet needs to do better with the pass.

[Callum_62]

Boyle would be having a field day here with the space St Johnstone are giving up

1-0 St Johnstone.

Unreal.

absolutely unbelievable 1-0 :rolleyes:

Refereeing in Scotland is stuck in the dark ages and they are nothing more than a gang who can do what they want regardless of Freyr performance with no consequences or comeback!

Doesn’t surprise me that posters frustrations spill over with done of the very poor decisions!

Like clockwork.

[Northernhibee]

Nobody closed down the corner taker and allowed a free second delivery. Dreadful.

[NC1875]

Another cross ball. Another goal conceded. Not a player near him. Brutal

[Since452]

Inevitable

[Crunchie]

Hanlon gives away needless corner
His right foot is only good for standing on.

[Stuart93]

Typical hibs.

Have we ever sacked a manager that got us into a final before the finals came around?

[CMac1988]

Lacking in quality and discipline. No need to give away the corner in the 1st place which ultimately leads to a free header from a cross off the back of it.

[Vault Boy]

I think Nisbet clears that if Porteous doesn't touch it. Hard for him to know that, though.

[MWHIBBIES]

Quality. Love it.

Hope this worthless **** never refs again. Probably get a promotion, though.

[Hibernia&Alba]

We need to fight now; we really need something today. This run of form is becoming worrying.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Will this ever change? Yet another concession from a cross to the back post.

[Callum_62]

Campbell off the post I think

another set piece more poor defending, should be 1-1 but for lower league referees.

[greenlex]

Next goal the winner.,

[percy veer]

1-0 St Johnstone.

Unreal.

That will be that then, huff and puff for the rest of the game now without doing much I suspect

[wookie70]

Campbell hits post from Gullan corner. If we didn't have bad luck we would have no luck at all. Keeper down taking sting out of game. Time wasting will have started already

[CMac1988]

Close from Campbell. Header of the post.

[J-C]

Sucker punch again, dominating the game and cannot score, then unable to defend a simple bloody cross for the umpteenth time this season, so very frustrating.

[Heisenberg]

Hit the post, what seems a legit goal ruled out. When your lucks out it’s really out

[StockholmHibs]

We never ever learn. A Carbon copy from before.
If Ross is not capable of teaching this defense then he has to go.

[Sir David Gray]

I fear you're going to be correct.

St Johnstone aren't a team you want to go 1-0 down to.

[Wull]

Nows the time to see what we have as a team cummon Hibees get inte these #@!?&

[Mon Dieu4]

We don't help ourselves either, that attempted clearence from Hanlon in the lead up to their goal was woeful

[MWHIBBIES]

St Johnstone aren't a team you want to go 1-0 down to.

Yep. Need an early goal against a team like this. If only we'd scored a perfectly ****ing good one.

[Since452]

Time and time again we've been the better team and go 1-0 down. Poor discipline and a weak 2nd half wouldn't surprise me now.

[Crunchie]

We'll see this goalie time waste a few times before this game finishes, not sure how he gets away with it all the time.

[madhatter]

Dominated possession but barely tested their keeper. St Johnstone have done nothing and scored.

Our attacks are laden with poor decision-making and creativity that seems largely linked to weighing up percentages. Nice passing and decent possession but nowhere near enough chances created.

[Callum_62]

Cadden no challenge on Liam. Gordon isn't great, even if you won't win it you need to make contact to try and put him off

If porto leaves it nisbet clears off the line but really harsh to blame Porteous for that

Bryson red card

[Heisenberg]

Saints down to 10

[Ronniekirk]

Thier first attempt at goal and it goes in ffs
So annoying as we have been the.Better team
Problem now is saints know how to hang onto a lead
My prediction is 1 1 so we now need to score

Two red card challenges is two yellows against Hibs. That was a shocker

[Stuart93]

We need to take advantage of this now and get the 3 points

[MWHIBBIES]

Every chance we can still win this. Need to keep our heads and take our chance.

[YehButNoBut]

Saints down to 10 men

[CMac1988]

Goodbye Bryson.

[matty_f]

Mental that we’re going in behind at half time. Only been one team in it. Another goal from a cross though. We really need to get that sorted.

[S4uzee]

All out attack second half … this is a must win

[Dmas]

It’s communication, if Nizzy shouts Porto should leave it earlier in the game Porto basically challenged Hanlon on the half way line we need to be talking to each other

[Vault Boy]

That was coming, two really poor challenges

[greenlex]

Should have been off for the challenge on Porto earlier.

[J-C]

Red for Bryson.

[LunasBoots]

If that was one of our players that would be a straight red.

[mcfly]

A very poor transfer window is coming back to haunt us.

1 player returned already and the other can’t get near the team.

Utter disgrace.

Folk on here said it was a good window as well 🙄🙄

We’ve needed to get that sorted all season matty and it’s still not been done

Strange thing to say but It'll probably make it all the harder now :confused:

Ht 1-0

[SaulGoodman]

Hibs are the only team I know that actually seem to get worse against ten men.

[FitbaFolkKen]

Big half this, coming from behind to win would be a big result and hopefully a turning point for us.

I’d love to know the reasons for the change in being so awful at defending cross balls wasn’t a weakness last year only change is the goalie but you’d never say Rocky was one for coming for cross balls

[RossScott1991]

Come on Hibs. Big second half. This has been a good performance let’s do this

[Keith_M]

Booing your own team off the pitch, that'll fill them with confidence.


:rolleyes:

[Since452]

Agree. Just pack the defence and watch us huff and puff.

[wookie70]

This could be a turning point game. 1 down but kept playing well after goal and now a man advantage. We have played really well here and actually took our chance. The ref and assistants have done their best for Saints but they can't ever cover up those tackles

[Callum_62]

It’s communication, if Nizzy shouts Porto should leave it earlier in the game Porto basically challenged Hanlon on the half way line we need to be talking to each otherThere about 0.5 seconds to make the call at the goal

Ironically so far this is probably our best league performance for some time.

Should never be behind, sounds like the offside decision was nonsense and the goal we lost was pathetic.

[Unseen work]

We’re not having much luck right now.

Similar to Wednesday night we’re by far the better team but are struggling with the final pass/shot to go ahead.

Porteous unlucky with the goal. Nisbet would have had it covered too.

Nisbets goal looked onside and if it counted it would be a different game.

Campbell playing well but I can see Allan and Murphy coming on.

[Crunchie]

Hibs are the only team I know that actually seem to get worse against ten men.
:agree: and against this time wasting bunch we'll be up against it. Hopefully Scotty can get on and unlock their wall which will be 9 strong.

[Wull]

I fancy us getting a penalty in second half, whose gonna take :wink:it?

[Shanksaidno]

I’d love to know the reasons for the change in being so awful at defending cross balls wasn’t a weakness last year only change is the goalie but you’d never say Rocky was one for coming for cross balls

Think Doidge and his role in defending was part of us avoiding goals

[Northernhibee]

Biggest half time team talk of Jack Ross’s career.

I’m fairness I think considering this will be the 6th loss in a row in the league the fans have let them off with it quite well.

Ps - JDH seems a decent addition

[Hibernia&Alba]

Yes. He needs something against ten men second half. Perfect chance to turn this around.
