Dundee

[Magpie]

Arguably the easiest fixture we will have for weeks to come, 3 points are important for our league campaign and to have a bit of relief before the final.

I expect McGinn, JDH and Hanlon will come back into the side.

Griffiths, Cummings and Fontaine returning to Easter Road.

Two former Hibs captains managing against eachother, has that ever happened before?

[B.H.F.C]

We need to win, which we’ve been saying for weeks. They’re a poor side that concede loads of goals though.

Easiest fixture we have before the break. Get a win and try and get some confidence for the final because I think we just look absolutely shot.

[steelendhibs]

will we be able to buy it on ppv in the uk?

[Sir David Gray]

Yes it will be £15 if you're not a season ticket holder.

[hibbyfraelibby]

There are no easy, eastiest or easierfixtures any more...

[SlickShoes]

Based on the fact we’ve lost to teams below us there is no easier game every game is a must win for us at this point.

[500miles]

We need to take our chances. We should be scoring so many more goals, but I feel like we're missing sitters every week.

[jakeshibs]

To be fair, and honest there are no easy games, we lost to Ross County, we have no confidence in front of goal and struggle to defend.

We need some leadership and fight, we need some one who is willing to dig in and get wins

[MWHIBBIES]

Easy game, Hibs win. 2-0.

[WeeRussell]

Easy game, Hibs win. 2-0.

While since we’ve had an easy win and a long while since we kept a clean sheet. But I like the optimism.

[skyehibee]

Win and we’re 2 points behind fourth.

[GreenCastle]

Very important game.

Win and gives us hope of top 6 plus gives a 9 point gap between bottom teams.

Won’t be easy but we need a win for the league table points tally plus give us some confidence going into Sunday.

Hopefully a good crowd.

Had 2 easy wins recently, St Johnstone and Rangers.

[JimBHibees]

Really need to start avoiding losing dreadful goals and be more clinical. Want to see a dominant performance with players fighting for a final place. Dundees defence and goalie imo are poor but reasonable going forward.

[WeeRussell]

Oh well. You’re right then - 2-0 it is 👍

[MWHIBBIES]

Thats the stuff :aok:

Why pay £15 when you can make the trek to ER and pay £26!
And they wonder why there are so many emply seats.

£15 isn’t an empty seat really though is it? It’s £15 in the tail.

Griffiths and Cummings haven’t started for Dundee in recent games and I doubt if McPake would gamble on starting them on the assumption that their inclusion would somehow cause panic in the Hibs ranks. If they’re not good enough to start in most games, they’re not good enough to start against us. It’ll be interesting to see if he does gamble on them.

[bigwheel]

They’ve got some decent players Dundee..should be a good game . I like the guy Mullen upfront , is it Max Anderson in midfield ? Their left back was rumoured to be a target for us if Doig had left and the very annoying , but decent t player McGowan keeps on scoring against us

[Smartie]

Re the crowd - first home game I’ve been able to make in absolutely ages.

I’m actually quite looking forward to it.

[Springbank]

Going into this game without a manager is a failure of the board.

Had expected the new man announced yesterday at the latest.

It is beginning to look like the board think we'll have finals every 5 months.

In truth, you only win if you think it could be your last, and make the effort superhuman.

The board aren't giving a good impression imo

[GreenCastle]

Dundee haven’t beaten Hibs at Easter Road since October 2001 !

Can’t remember us ever appointing a manager within a few days of emptying the previous one, but can’t recall it getting called out as much as this time round.

[Logie Green]

Charlie Adam has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving so he might not be playing.

He’s definitely out. Confirmed.

Nail on the head.

The board should have made a kneejerk decision based on fans polls and not thought about the long term stability of the club.

Pat Fenlon would have been an ideal candidate or bringing back Colin Calderwood from the cold.

You cant overstate the importance of this game. Lose it and we will have to admit that a relegation battle could be a real possibility because our next 6 league fixtures are:

Aberdeen (H)
Dundee United (A)
Celtic (A)
Hearts (H)
Motherwell (A)
Livingston (H)

If we can't beat Dundee, with the possible exception of Livinston at home exactly how many points are we likely to pick up from a list of fixtures like that, considering Aberdeen have a good record at ER, Dundee Utd creamed us the last time we played them, Celtic away is Celtic away, Hearts are playing better than we are and are exactly the sort of team we have a bother with and Motherwell are pretty steady form wise?

McInnes had a decent record at ER. Glass hasn't even played at ER. United lost the last 3. Hearts 3 wins in 10. Motherwell 3 wins in 10.

SSN reporting in the team news that McGinn and Hanlon are suspended for this. I assume this us just the usual lazy **** from them as we aren’t the old firm and just running with Saturdays news?

Just listened to the HibsTv interview with David Gray on YouTube and he said the two Pauls are back so yeah, looks like sky just not really caring enough to check facts.

[Sir David Gray]

I can't see an update on the latest suspensions on the SFA site but as far as I'm aware they should both be available for tonight.

[Billy Whizz]

I can't see an update on the latest suspensions on the SFA site but as far as I'm aware they should both be available for tonight.

Someone better tell David Gray then, as he said on the presser that he welcomed them back for tonight

[Hermit Crab]

Looks like Charlie Adam won't be playing tonight.

[Boss_Nass]

The issue with St Mirren game was that we totally sat back after scoring and let them come onto us. Need to get back to proper attacking football which is difficult given Ross’s legacy of sideway and backward passing. I predict 1-1 with Liam Fontaine scoring near the end.

Hope I’m wrong

[Tambo]

Let's get back to wining a game of football with some nice football and a few goals.

Do we think we will switch back to a 3-5-2?

Looking forward to the game tonight. Hopefully Cummings will come on when we’re 3-0 up and get the cracking reception he deserves after the idiots that abused him at Dens.

What's happened to the next 3 game thread.

[lord bunberry]

I know there’s a lot of **** going on the now but we’ve got a big game tonight.

[Jones28]

Get through tonight with no injuries and a point and I’ll take that.

No way. They've lost their last two shipping 6 goals. Have conceded more than us, have scored less, are 10th, and we're at home.

Will be bloody scandalous if we don't win this one!

[Sir David Gray]

You'll take a point at home to the team with the worst away record in the league?

[Jones28]

With a cup final on Sunday? You better believe it.

I get the injury thing but happy with a point at home to Dundee? Seriously? Three points and we are two points off 4th. I’ll be happy with that not a point.

[Sir David Gray]

See above

Fair enough each to their own, I do find that a bit baffling to say the least.

[Jones28]

If it means no injuries then yes, it’s really not that hard to comprehend guys. If that was the trade off I’d have it.

You can have both we should just surrender the points and not have injuries. Strange to have that trade off. There’s a decent chance we’re getting skelped on Sunday. Gimme the three points and a free hit at the weekend please. Injuries or not. Luckily injury free and a point isn’t an option

Well it’s a good thing the world doesn’t work based on opinions on football forums eh?

[pollution]

This game worries me, we have so much to lose.

Ex Hibs players out to show they are still good enough to score against us...seen it before: Brian Hamilton against us just after joining Hearts.

Remember anyone ? Live on TV too.
