Team vs Aberdeen

[Tambo]

How do you guys see us lining up Wednesday?

Will be interesting if any changes.

[Northernhibee]

I think Murphy will drop out as the new manager has eyes, but other than that I think the team will be largely the same.

Doig may come in potentially (nothing to do with Stevenson's performance) and there's a chance we could see Doidge earlier but I doubt he'll start.

If we are going with one striker then I'd have Doidge as I fear it could be another long night for Nisbet on his own.

I have a feeling we might see Allan start.

Macey

Mcginn
Porto
Hanlon
Lewis

Gogic
Newell

Boyle
Allan
Doig

Doidge

For me lewis deserves to keep his place and I honestly think Doig could be effective out wide with his drive forward and crosses.

I think we could do with Gogic just sitting and trying to win balls back and leave Newell to control the ball In the middle and get it forward out wide or to Allan as much as possible.

Really big game again if we want to start climbing that table.

I was referring to the new red fourth strip here on display here :wink:

Talked to alot of Hibs fans at the game and the consensus was, drop the two deep sitting DM's and get 2 up top - Interested to see how this pans out..

Lewis had a very good game yesterday and has been very good in the recent league games, I’d definitely have him in the starting line up.

Doidge
Nisbet.

[The Modfather]

I hope to see the likes of Laidlaw, Young & O’Connor start to feature on the bench now. Get them minutes as and when the game allows with a view to them being in the first team squad next season. I’d hope part of our thinking was to bring someone in who can give the exciting crop we have, every chance of succeeding.

Would have Maloney playing left wing

I cant see Allan getting anywhere near a Shaun Maloney team tbh.

[wookie70]

Strange to see a few not picking Lewis. Not only has he played really well since coming back it is no surprise that Paul Hanlon has all of a sudden started playing better.

Macey
Cadden McGinn Poteous Hanlon Stevenson

Newell JDH

Murphy will drop out and I think we may see Doidge come back in.

I'd consider changing the goalkeeper as well although I don't think it will happen this week. It's time to see what have under our noses in Dabrowski. Macey's inability to do the basics with the ball at his feet really impacts any attempts we have to play from the back and retain possession. It has a far bigger impact on the flow of a game than some acknowledge. If we have aspirations to be slicker with the ball then it will have to be addressed.

A lot depends on how up to speed Maloney is on Scottish football. But can't see Allan suddenly becoming a starter.
If he was watching the final, I think Murphy and JDH ARE out
Imagine if Doidge is fit...he'll start, and Doig needs back as a starter

I wouldn’t rule out Allan having a part to play. Maloney mentions having ‘talented and technical’ players and he certainly falls in to that category, there aren’t too many others on our books that do IMO.

Initially thought there wouldn’t be too much changing straight away but I think there might be a bit of a wildcard in there whoever it might be.

[scoopyboy]

I think he will change the formation

[Tyler Durden]

I think we need Doidge back in the team ASAP. The problem for Maloney, as it was at times for Jack Ross, is trying to find a balance to get Boyle, Nisbet and Doidge playing together.

For me the best way to accomodate them all, is for Nisbet to drop wide when we don't have the ball. 3-4-3 or a 4-3-3 and Nisbet plays more from wide left, similar to Riordan.

I'd go with

Dabrowski

McGinn
Porto
Hanlon

Cadden
Newell
JDH
Doig

Boyle
Doidge
Nisbet

I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth dropping Nisbet for a couple of games but for Maloney to work with him to improve his game and his mindset just now. Just now nothing is coming off for him and much as I've been critical of his workrate, it may be better to remove him from further potential experiences like recently and let him start afresh.

ButDoidge isn’t ready to play a full game
Against Aberdeen we will need to work our socks off as they are back to being difficult to beat but can Nick a goal on the break and defend it
A difficult first game fir Maloney

Dan Mackay and Melker Hallberg have been back training for a while and would be good to see them back involved.

Mackay is a really good young player and it’s been an unfortunate start for him but he’s someone I really think the fans will take to. Hope he gets a chance in the team soon.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Maloney have guys like Allan, Wright, Scott and Gullan a shot.

He wants to attack and we have limited options for doing so, he might think why not and it’s giving them a fair shot before January.

Nisbet is twice the player with Doidge alongside.

Aberdeen team buses running late, just held up in the terrible roadworks on Queen St

Starts tonight

[Since452]

Agreed

[H18 SFR]

Interesting selection. Thought Allan looked absolutely knackered when he came on at Hampden - glad to see him in the team though, a full firing Allan will be a big asset.

I thought Lewis was one of our best performers since coming back in. Hanlon playing better with Lewis back too. Certainly putting his stamp on the team

[Ronniekirk]

Allan hasn’t been playing so if we get 70’minutes out him will be surprised
Lewis has been steady and effective and think we may need his tenacious tackling
We could loose the midfield battle
But Maloney is setting his stall out and going for a more attacking formation
