Livingston v Hibs (Wednesday)

[Billy Whizz]

Games coming thick and fast. This is one of our games in hand, and we need to start climbing the table
Does Jack stick with Saturdays starting 11, or twist and make a few changes to freshen up the team
I’d prefer he’d twist, and at least start with Doidge, and Murphy/Allan
Livingston really should have taken something from their game against Hearts yesterday, and this is always a tough fixture on a dreadful pitch

Hibs still selling tickets, but haven’t seen anything from Livvi, selling online yet

Scott Allan had to be subbed early on the last visit. He couldn't control the ball on Livingstons joke pitch which says it all really.

Heavy snow predicted for tomorrow as part of a new storm. Livingston don’t have a good record at getting games on with poor weather even with their ****ty plastic pitch.

[Brightside]

I think we will see Doidge and Niz start.

Win three winnable games & assume Rangers beat Hearts....

Would see us sitting 2 points off the Jambos going into a cup final and with DUFC & Hearts to play over the festive period.

I think this is a massive week ahead - but we need more goals from Newell, Cadden, Doyle-Hayes if we are to get there (imo)

[Sir David Gray]

Is there snow forecast?

Yes a lot of the country's under a yellow alert for snow tomorrow from 11am onwards although I think the east should escape most of it so will hopefully be ok.

[500miles]

I think we might see Newell drop out. He looked absolutely spent on Saturday.

[wookie70]

I think we will see Doidge and Niz start.I'd be amazed if Doidge starts. He looks miles off it

Yeah, might need to try something a bit more adventurous for this one.

Motherwell did quite a good job of closing us down for most of the game on Saturday but I haven't seen much of Livi this season so not sure if they do the same.

[Smartie]

One of my pet hates about Ross is that he doesn't ever rotate his squad very well. I thought it contributed to our poor spell around this time last year - where several players looked dead on their feet and several others looked very rusty.

Obviously he doesn't have the greatest squad depth, but we have games coming thick and fast this month as well as one particularly big game.

I'd like to see the full depth of the squad being used, as well as substitutes getting used early.

It's not as if the team who are starting the games are getting the job done.

[RossScott1991]

Really hope Jack Ross rotates the squad. He made a few comments after the semi in terms of the schedule but then proceeds to pick the same 3.5.2 starting 11 every week.

Thought Saturday at home needing a win was the time to start with doidge nisbet and Boyle all on the park.

JDH and Newell seem to be favourites of his

We simply have to win these three games if we want to get up the league and challenge for third IMO.

Even, worst case scenario Hearts beat Rangers, and we’re 5 points behind them next Wednesday I’d be pretty happy with that given where we’ve been.

Been loads of talk about the games in hand but we need the points on the board (we’ve already blown one of them at Ross County).

Doidge certainly was. He didn’t train all week.

[wookie70]

Doidge certainly was. He didn’t train all week. That might explain his complete lack of mobility. Hope he is over his illness and can get back to playing regularly.

[Since452]

We have been absolutely cursed with injury and illness this season. Doidge comes back from a major injury then picks up a bug. Covid in the camp, Magennis starting the season on fire then out for months. So frustrating!

To be fair I think we avoided a lot of it last season, just the way it goes.

[Nicho87]

I don’t think he can stick with the same eleven

Must bring in Allan
Must bring in doidge

[Hibernian Verse]

I hope we go to a back four as Hearts struggled with a back 5 against Livi yesterday, albeit they won. They should've been 3-0 down and would have been if it wasn't for Gordon.

Didn't help us with his 2 game ban.

[Ronniekirk]

Didn't help us with his 2 game ban.

He is going to struggle to be properly match fit for the Final at this rate
He now needs to playing every game even off the bench and upping the amount of time spent on the pitch to build up strength and stamina and to start to get some form back
Coming back into a team not winning isn’t ideal as it could take him a few games before he scores

Oh I'm not. Been to that place many a time so the only worry is avoiding the usual farcical queues and delays.

[Mikey_1875]

Least favourite “away day” on the calendar so can’t say i’m really looking forward to it but three points is a must. Think with this one the first goal will be the most important and go on to win.

Ideally I would have changed it up on Saturday and then played the 3-5-2 line up for this game but he will have to make a change for this one. I think it will be 4-2-3-1 with Murphy coming in for Cadden. Doidge looks like he will need a lot more minutes before he is up to speed but I’d expect him to get a good chunk of game time and will hopefully make a difference in the later stages.

Undefeated in last two there and last game was a 1-1 draw which is not what we need Wednesday.

Saw first half of their game yesterday and thought they were good and could have been ahead. Certainly don't want to go behind to them. Thought omeonga played well and sibbald was a threat.

Who knows it's a game with both teams in poor form.

I don't know if I'd risk Murphy on that horrible plastic pitch. I think that would be a good change, but I don't think I'd take the chance.

[easty]

I thought Livi played pretty well against Hearts up until Boyce scored, and then they kind of started to panic a bit and play long balls. If it wasn't for Craig Gordon, Livi would probably have won the game though. They pressed Hearts really well for most of it, so hopefully there's a few tired legs there. We've had an extra days rest. It won't be an easy game, especially on that ***** pitch, but we've got to go there and go for the win.

Thought Forrest did quite well in driving Livi up the park, but he's a bit of a headless chicken when he gets up there. Prob not helped by the fact that the strikers/forward players are pretty *****. Shinnie started up front, and that Bruce Anderson is absolutely humpty.

Martindale on the news tonight moaning about not getting any decisions, when Holt should've been sent off for them yesterday but got away with one.

[Daniel 1875]

We're going to the Livingston Lodge Hotel - it's run by the guy who runs the Iona on Easter Road. 10 mins walk from Livingston North Station and about 20 mins to the ground.

[Carheenlea]

The coldest I’ve ever been at a game of football was Livingston a few years back in sleet and snow - the slush on the pitch pretty much turned to ice and the game was a lottery. Tomorrow night night be the second coldest or could end up in top spot - which adds an extra bit of interest.

[Nicho87]

Must win.

9 points from next 3 games is not a big ask

Based on current form however….

Think he would really be up against it if we take anything less than 4 points

[Unseen work]

Despite the 352 providing good performances for us I’m not sure if Ross will keep it for Wednesday, if he does there may be a change or 2 to personnel.

……McGinn…..Porteous….Hanlon….

Boyle…….Campbell…..Newell…….Doig….

…………………..Macey………

McGinn….Porteous…Hanlon…Doig..

……………..Nisbet….Doidge…..

All 3 of those teams are capable of winning. I wouldn’t necessarily drop JDH as I really rate him but think that’s what may happen.

One thing for me that we need to be wary of is Omeonga has been very good for them in terms of winning the ball back so there’s a possibility of being countered.

On Omeonga though he gives you a chance when he has the ball, he loses possession an awful lot deep in his own half from trying to play out whether that’s with his passing or getting tackled.

If we can get Campbell or Newell to press him we’ll get a goal from it.

[DarrenSQH]

Anyone know what pubs people are off to before the game?

Livingston Inn in livi village is a good pub and about a 10 Minute walk away.

Saltire is at livi North train station and is a green king boozer. Does the usual cheap food and bevy. Made a 20-25 min walk but right at the station.

Paraffin lamp is in the shopping centre beside asda and again a 10 min walk.

Then you have spoons in the centre.

Are we getting most of the stadium like what hearts got?

[Sir David Gray]

Are we getting most of the stadium like what hearts got?

I think we'll get as many as we want. The stadium holds 9,500 and Livingston have a home support of around 1,500.

I believe Hearts took around 4,000 fans on Sunday and there's no chance that we'll take anywhere near that number tonight so I don't think getting in will be a problem for anyone who wants to go.

[Since452]

Are we getting most of the stadium like what hearts got?

Livi only get the main stand at their own ground. Everyone else gets the rest.

[flash]

Contemplating a last minute decision to attend. Think we are playing reasonably well since the Covid break and just need to make better decisions in the opposition box.

Hopefully I am completely wrong in all of the above and more attackers are on the pitch and we freshen things up. But it’s just where I am atm of expecting exact same every week. Which is why I am getting bored of things at this moment.

Completely hope I am wrong and it’s a more positive team.

It may have started that way on Saturday but the formation changed midway through the first half. I suspect it may be the same team but the formation that worked pretty well against Motherwell. Murphy may come in for Cadden would be the only change I could see. The pitch might stop that though

[JimBHibees]

Looking forward to this game could do with a win that is for sure. Will be tight though.

[where'stheslope]

Funny game this for us, get a quick goal and we could cruise!
If they get an early goal, they will just keep punting over midfield, and our back line needs to be strong!
They play their pitch well, we've got to put up with strong man tactics, so no Scott Allen tonight.
We should have enough to get a result, may need a lot of patience before we get one.

Just shows how thin the squad is. No real ability to rest some players by having a squad which can be rotated!

[Since452]

Has Jamie Gullan vanished off the face of the earth?

Not really surprising. He's had a few chances now and taken none of them.

[Billy Whizz]

Not really surprising. He's had a few chances now and taken none of them.

He did well at Perth, must be injured

[houstonhibbee]

Not really surprising. He's had a few chances now and taken none of them.
He did just fine
i assume you are basing your judgement on the fact he didn’t score any goals

[Iain G]

4-2-3-1 formation tonight?

[Crab apple]

4-2-3-1 formation tonight?

Yep. Porto and Doig in tshirts clearly don't feel the cold.

[Cat Stanton]

Ross didn't mention anything pre-match. Hopefully nothing serious but weird he isn't even in the squad.

Just said on the radio that he got a slight knock on Saturday but should be OK for the weekend.

[The Spaceman]

At £20 they’ve lost a viewer tonight. That’s BT Sport for a month for example. No thanks.

[Smartie]

I can't stand when Hibs play this formation.

Boyle, Murphy, Nisbet - all players with something to offer, often end up looking like a blunt force when it's that 3 up front. Double up on Boyle, nullify him. Press Nisbet, his touch is ***** and he'll give it away. Let Murphy run around, he'll not do anything and will probably injure himself in the process.

I'd maybe go the same lineup but with Murphy more central, playing off Nisbet. Boyle at RWB.

Just another reminder that January just cannot come fast enough...

It;s the ultimate Hibs "crab" football.

DH to Hanlon/Porto. The latter two try to pass out wide. If no luck one wing, recycle via the other wing.

Nothing through the middle

Rinse & Repeat

Enjoy folks

[Smartie]

Splitting hairs really.

If I'd said "I hate Nisbet up front on his own" you'd have had an answer for that.

This "front 4" just do not inspire me together.

And that's whilst acknowledging that I've felt Nisbet has been better lately, we've improved since Campbell came into the side and that I like both Murphy and Boyle as players...

If we're playing this shape, there's no point playing balls through the middle to Nisbet, need to get the ball wide behind the defence and then into him.

The pathetic defending that’s been consistent all season. And you can’t apportion any blame on the manager ? Aye ok then.

Yes, Boyle scores and it’s game back on but Ross has had long enough to sort out our defending from cross balls and yet we lose a goal most weeks from them.

Lose tonight and it shouldn’t even be up for debate. He should be gone.
