Team v St Johnstone

[Mcbizz1998]

Well? I know it depends who is fit but I would go:

Dabrowski

Doig
Porto
McGregor (presume Rocky banned)
Stevenson

Jasper
Henderson
JDH
Cadden

Mueller (if fit)

Melkersen

If we appeal Rockys red and it’s overturned is he available on Saturday? I think it will be overturned.

If not we may see a change of formation unless he brings in Delferriere as I can’t see McGregor starting.

…………………………Dabrowski/Macey……………

……Rocky/Delferrier…Porteous….Stevenson…

Cadden……….JDH…………….Henderson……..Doig……

…………………Mueller………………..Jasper……

…………………………………Melkerson………

or

…………………………Dabrowski/Macey……………

If he doesn’t fancy Delferrier and Rocky is unavailable



…………………………Dabrowski/Macey……………

If Mueller isn’t fit then Hague or Wright

[Hibernian Verse]

No way McGregor plays. He can’t play the game Maloney wants from his defence.

It will be Delferriere or a back 4.

[500miles]

We'll surely appeal the Rocky red. Tried to bat off McGowan who was grabbing him and sciffed his nose. Absolute simulation, and should be reported to the sfa and suspended.

[PH91]

If we continue to play with 3 centre halves, 2 defensive midfielders and 2 limited, defensive wingbacks with only 3 attack minded players on the park we will continue being hard to beat but not look like scoring many more often than not.

I hope we move to a back 4 and get another attacker on the pitch on saturday.

[JammyDoidger]

It doesn't matter they're all about as good/bad as each other. The sooner this season is over the better. We don't even look like scoring goals.

We have a full house on Saturday and need to be offensive.

Doig and Cadden are the opposite of limited, defensive wingbacks. We aren’t ever going to score loads of goals with the two we played in midfield tonight not to mention Drey Wright and a miles off it Doidge.

[JammyDoidger]

Why is everyone wanting melkerson he didn't do any more than doidge?

[Nicho87]

We need something fresh up front.

Need to play the boy at some point.

[PH91]

How is Cadden a limited, defensive wingback?

Solid and athletic but limited in an attacking sense. He doesn't offer a lot of creativity and his attacking contributions are more often than not making a yard and banging it in the box.

[Stuart93]

If anything I’d say he was more limited defensive wise than attacking wise.

Probably been our best attacking outlet after boyle all season

[WeeRussell]

Why is everyone wanting melkerson he didn't do any more than doidge?

Melkerson showed flashes of offering what we’ve been lacking up top tonight.

And to be brutally honest, just looking relatively mobile and not looking like he’s incapable of any attacking threat at all would be enough for him to be ahead of Doidge right now.

Would you seriously rather Doidge started again? He hasn’t been good enough for a while now. Some will say it’s down to fitness/sharpness/confidence, others that he’s never been as good as some like to insist on here… and a few (probably including me) reckon a mix of the two.

I think Jasper is the ‘must start’ from the team tonight going into the weekend, but I really hope we see our new striker given the top position as well.

As soon as he came on, Melkerson ran towards the goals. That sounds a really simple thing, but we’re not very good at doing it. Showed a bit of intent. Thought he looked quite sharp and definitely doesn’t lack confidence.

I personally thought he was just running for the sake of running, trying to look busy. Looked determined though, just a thought but maybe we should try and play the two of them and we might just hit the back of the net.

I’d play Henderson alongside JDH in midfield. Three centre backs, 2 defensively solid wing backs and 2 defensive midfielders is far too conservative. For most of last night JDH and Campbell were standing next to each other while we had possession - one should be sitting and the other pushing on.

Agree with this. We can’t just keep doing the same thing. I really don’t think there is an issue with the way we set up, the lack of creativity is coming from the players within the system.

We aren’t going to suddenly change the formation I don’t think. It’ll be more of the same with maybe a couple of personnel changes. We simply can’t play Drey Wright in a team that’s already struggling for goals. He offers nothing going forward.

[Tyler Durden]

Correct. It's no coincidence that Wright has done ok against Celtic and to a lesser extent Hearts. He's disciplined and does the "defending from the front" side of things well. Give him the ball and expect him to beat a man and create or score..... It's not going to happen.

Whether it's going with Doidge and Melkerson together, or dropping Hendo into the central midfield 2, or playing Jasper at LWB..... we need a change to inject more of a threat into the team.

[Tyler Durden]

How is Cadden a limited, defensive wingback?

I don't think he's defensive but he is limited. I think we could easily play Jasper as a wing back and not lose much defensively.

Cadden for me could actually be more effective in centre midfield and ask him to run beyond the striker(s).

In games where we're going to have most of the possession, we don't need 2 defensive midfielders. The back 3 rarely break forward to create an overload anyway. We just have 6 or 7 players behind the ball for long periods of a game.

[Mcbizz1998]

Agreed.

In a lot of ways he offers less than nothing, last night he was detrimental to us in an attacking sense.

He has shown he’s willing to change, went with a back four at Ibrox and has changed during games. Bit different with having a man sent off but we went to a back four straight away last night, don’t think it’s out of the question that we’ll go with that on Saturday with what we have available.

Agree on Wright.

[sadtom]

Not sure who’s available, but if there are no players back then the team that WON’T play…

Macey
McGinn Rocky Hanlon
Newell
Clarke Meuller Magennis Mitchell
Nisbet Scott

I think the above side would comfortably take care of whatever side we do field on Saturday.
It really brings home how dire a situation we are in regarding injuries/unavailability.
I hope everyone gets behind the team on Saturday and cuts them plenty of slack. It’s tough times like this that the real meaning of the word ‘support’ is required.

You just know Hallberg is going to ping one in the top corner from 30 yards, so we'll need two goals for what is looking like a very important game in the top six race.
Saints kept two up top all night against Rangers, so surely we can do the same and partner Doidge with Melkersen.
It's a bit desperate hoping a 19 year old from the Norwegian second tier is the answer but our options are severely limited right now.

He does but He was very poor last night. Put his own defence under pressure quite a few times with poor passes across the box.

We are struggling with injuries etc but when everyone is fit he doesn’t make my starting 11. He’s young and may improve but my opinion last night he was woeful!

That will always happen with the way we are being asked to play. Lost count last night of the number of passes across their own box that put Chelsea under real pressure. Doesn't make them bad players. Campbell does the dirty work in midfield very well and we will need him against the likes of Davidson on Saturday. I will be surprised if he doesn't start.

You’re probably right however I think it’ll depend who drops into the back line.

FWIW Lewis will sort out Davidson

Last night's Hibs & St Johnstone starting line-ups, only 5 players started the cup final. Porteous, Doig & Doidge for us, Gordon & McCart for them. 5 out of 22 is startling. I'm startled.

Barring even more injuries Doidge and Melkerson are our two up front for the remainder of the season. Maloney knows we have to start scoring so surely they start together.

Of course, forgot about Scott. I see Mueller linking midfield to attack he'd probably be dropping deep all the time to get the ball as Nisbet was doing.

I would like to see Doig & Jasper on one flank, and Cadden & Hauge on the other, with Melkerson up front. I think the energy and direct running from either flank would cause real problems for any team.

That can be set up as 442, with Doidge partnering Melkerson, with JDH and Henderson in the middle. He could also go 451, with another midfielder (I would like that to be Allan, he is still a player), and Melkerson up top.

Although the Dundee game was not the most entertaining 90 minutes I have had watching Hibs, when the two Norwegians came on, I really liked their direct play. Those laddies have played together since they were very young, lived with each other for a long while too. Even clips of training I have seen, I thought they looked good together.

Energy, Pace and Effort. Three things that are lacking in lots of games of football, not just at Hibs. Get them in Shaun.

Edit. If Mueller has recovered he has to play. 2 up top Melkerson and Mueller. Hibs deadly M & M

I was surprised at the time but it quickly became apparent that Maloney had made the right decision to change to a back four as Dundee just weren't a threat. Similarly Jasper for Henderson gave us an alternative to Doidge for an out ball.

Swings and roundabouts. Add Doidge for his defensive abilities but then end up with less movement and having to look at a change at half time when Doidge is finished anyway. If we keep the ball the way SM wants to then we shouldn't have many free kick and corners to defend. The injuries are making team selection a nightmare but for me Maloney is starting to get a similar vibe that Ross had with the boring tag being brandished. He needs to work out, even with the injuries, a way of making us better to watch and that is all the more important with loads of day trippers in the crowd who could be enticed back.

Fair points mate. I would rather give Doidge a start and also give him more time on the pitch to get a goal. Once he gets one he'll go on a run I think. Think he's better starting than as a sub.
