Team v Celtic

[Unseen work]

6 new faces to the group and 2 weeks under solid training under Maloney.

Porteous and McGinn suspended. Henderson ineligible.

What are we expecting to see?

For me,

……………..…….Macey…………….

………Clarke…..Hanlon….Stevenson……

Cadden……..JDH…….Newell……Doig……..

…………Boyle……………….Mueller…..

………………………Nisbet…..

Stevenson done well at LCB in our last game and I’d be hesitant on chucking Rocky straight in against Celtic as I’m not sure when he last played a game.

Campbell unlucky not to start as I think he’s done very well.

Leaves the rest of the following

Dabrowski
Mitchell
McGregor
Rocky
Mackie
Campbell
Tait
Hallberg
Gogic
Magennis
Allan
Wright
Bradley
Murphy
Scott
Melkersen
Doidge

[Tambo]

Nice to have attacking options on the bench now, team looks about right but I think he will go with Campbell over Newell and Newell will start Thursday.

Is it just me or has this week gone slow? Couple tasty English games over the weekend then we get back to normal Monday.

Can't wait.

He’s been training and played in the bounce game. Would he even be allowed to do that without a work permit?

Edit - Just saw the link.

[Mikey_1875]

Pretty difficult to predict now that we have some options and a new manager. I think there may be a change of formation from Aberdeen and Utd since we are playing one of the OF away but I wouldn’t be upset if it stayed the same.

I can’t see Mueller starting but agree that Clarke will come straight in.

Really looking forward to it and hopefully we have a good go at them.

Clarke will need to start, but I'd be surprised if any of the other new guys do, unless they've been flying in training.
I wonder how Doidge is getting on? The Celtic centre-backs are a bit suspect in the air.

Aye there have been too many players guaranteed a game regardless of how they’ve been playing. Even during games there wouldn’t be any fear of getting taken off because there was nothing sitting on the bench at times.

[GreenCastle]

Really interesting to see who starts and how we approach this game.

Will we keep same formation ? If we are too open we will get ripped apart - if we are too defensive we will be in trouble.

It’s a lot to ask for the new players to step right in except maybe a Clarke who knows the league.

Celtic have also signed some good new players - who will be keen to impress.

Hibs haven’t beaten Celtic since December 2018 - so we haven’t beaten Celtic in last 13 games.

Hibs haven’t won at Celtic park since January 2010.

I agree. It's all about momentum at this stage and a point would be a bonus in reality so I don't think we'll set up like we have under Maloney so far. Clarke will definitely start but think that he'll be the only new guy to do so. We'll probably see most of them against Cove.

I don’t think we’ll change the way we set up. They’ve had a good couple of weeks to work on things and get them understanding how we want to play.

Mueller last played end of November- seems he’s been pretty much off all of December. Obviously moved across and change of surroundings etc. Maybe he’s lacking match sharpness.

He last played 90 mins in August though - he rarely played 90 mins.

Will we have weaker squad out than the final ? Celtic will be stronger as they missed quite a few that day.

Really can’t see it. Not the way he’s wanting to play and don’t think he’ll change just because we’re playing Celtic.

[Hibee Mac]

I might end up with egg on my face here but there's no way Maloney will be playing McGregor in the back 3. The way he wants to play requires our CB's to be able to pass the ball tight under pressure and under no circumstances shell the ball up the park.

That's just not Darren's game, I love him and he's a hero for us but he doesn't suit Maloney's team.

[Blaster]

With who?

I just don’t believe Clarke is a certainty and there’s a new thread about a bid for Boyle

[davhibby]

Darren Mcgregor isn’t good enough to play for any team in the top flight anymore and probably wouldn’t be a starter for a good few Championship teams either.

[B.H.F.C]

Accept things could change with Boyle.

But I’ll be really surprised if Clarke doesn’t play. He’s the most likely of the new players to start I think.

I’m really nervous for tomorrow.

3 of our defenders out injured.

Rocky likely to start and he’s not played in months.

We’ll be attacking and playing very risky football against a Celtic team that are really good at pressing and winning the ball back.

It will either be a great result and win or we’ll get battered imo. No inbetween.

Not overly concerned about the defence, we’ve defended poorly in the two games we’ve played against Celtic this season with all the first picks there.

Rocky likely to play so I’m looking forward to seeing what he has to offer.

I am actually looking forward to seeing Rocky playing, Maloney has been quite vocal about how good he is on the ball and his pace.

Just nervous for his lack of game time and being rash against sharp opponents.

Yup, don't think folk should judge after one game if it doesn't work as the guy hasn't played in so long so will take time to get up to speed

[Unseen work]

Team will be different from what I first guessed

Injured - Clarke and Magennis
Suspended - McGinn and Porteous
Ineligible - Henderson and Melkersen

Add to the above Maloney made it sound like mueller is still a bit away fitness wise so I’d be surprised to see him start.

We might also be without Boyle if rumours are true that we’ve accepted a 3 million bid.

I can’t see Maloney changing his formation based on injuries/who were playing so I expect the same 343.

When the games were rescheduled the only reason our game is on today and not tomorrow with the other games is because we play again on Thursday.

Will be difficult tonight as expected - just hopefully we don’t collapse and get hammered. Expecting a very open game of football.

I think it's very likely that we'll end up playing that back 3, plus Stevenson is definitely capable of filling in there, he did it successfully at Ibrox under Lennon.

For either of these to happen then you would need to be looking at a change of shape which I’m not convinced he will want to do.

You’re just playing a random formation that bares no resemblance to what Maloney will be playing in that case. Wright would be starting ahead of Mueller in that team which is probably about right if he’s not fully ready to start games yet. Wright will work hard and the emphasis of the wingbacks being the main outlet in the wide areas for Maloney suits Wright better on the ball rather than being used as an out and out winger. Then he can bring on Mueller for the last 20/25 mins.

I think Wright will start but in a midfield four. He doesn't usually go 442 but I think for one night that might change. I see Doig going into left back for Lewis, Cadden at right back, but we will see. A mid four of Campbell, JDH, Newell and Wright, with Boyle and Nisbet up front. Much of which will change later in the game.

I’m personally not seeing what a lot of others are in Campbell. Just my opinion though, others perfectly entitled to disagree.

To go a bit deeper than that though, the position I have Wright starting is where he started in our last game. In off the left wing, for all his faults while he’s been at Hibs he’s always worked hard enough and I think that could be important tonight. I don’t think Campbell could play that role well from what I’ve seen of him.

Find out soon enough.

Let’s agree to disagree about Campbell.There’s no doubt he’s a work in progress but I think there’s a lot more to come from the lad.

With this type of thread when Jack Ross was in charge posters were never very far from the actual pick.With Shaun Maloney however I’m not so sure.

You maybe close in your pick or Maloney may wrong foot us all completely.

As you state we will find out soon enough.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

I have no idea what our team will be.

I am pretty confident we will go there and have a go though. Which excites me.

I would not even be surprised to see someone like James Scott starting, that would be like a new signing if SM can get him firing and he has proven he can play a bit or Hull would not have signed him.

[Tambo]

I guess it's been that long that I forgot Wright started the last game and played ok.

Thought Wright was really good against United and thought the position suited him really well. He was able to find gaps, run in behind and drift into the centre of the park and receive the ball on the half turn which suits him.

Tonight looks like he’ll be a winger which doesn’t play as much to his strengths imo.

Campbell can play centre half. Makes the most sense given the rest of the team.

I'd be worried if we had to put Campbell into centre half.

Indeed. Some of these shouts for a makeshift CB in a back 3 away at Celtic Park are giving me the heeby jeebies. It's not a compliment to the idea when I say that Stevenson being played there is the one that terrified me the least. I assume it'll be a back 4.
