😂 bye Maloney, just trolling us now.

[Hibs90]

Sackable offence that line up alone. That’s an utter disgrace.

[Pretty Boy]

So Mcginn in from nowhere and Henderson and ****ing Scott as our attacking threat.

Was quite up for it this morning but that's a bit of deflation right there.

IF true, that in itself is a sacking offence for Maloney.
Hard enough beating them with 11 players but to put on an empty jersey like Scott, God almighty.

[Jones28]

Roll up roll up for Shaun Maloney selection tombola!

[Callum_62]

I like it

Doig must not be fit

Doig, Mueller, rocky, Wright and Melkerson out

Porto, Mcginn, Stevenson, Henderson and Scott in

Doidge doesn't even make the bench

To be honest, given our strikers that are out, Melkerson being bullied last week totally I'm not overly sure what else we could change? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220416/596342bb43a27e87ff1848fdbdadb917.jpg

Not very attacking!

[SHODAN]

It will be SOME redemption arc if this somehow works.

[overdrive]

Absolute disgrace of a line up.

[BSEJVT]

TBH the only points of debate imo are Doig in if he is fit and if we had a viable alternative to Scott someone for him.

Melkerson, Mueller & Jasper have looked like lost wee boys recently

If nothing else we need to compete physically with them for much of the match

[Keyser Sauzee]

Can’t work out that decision, Scott has shown absolutely zero to suggest he can perform against this hearts team. Almost like Maloney is playing Russian Roulette.

[FilipinoHibs]

Must think Scott won't be bullied as much. Back to the solid back four. A bit of meat in midfield. Speed on the wings. Henderson for creativity. 4-5-1. Experience over youth for this one.

[easty]

That’s a “**** it, last throw of the dice” team selection.

[Sioux]

Probably the strongest line up we've had for months.

[HIBEETILLIDIE]

Absolute disgrace of a line up.

That team selection is shocking!
This has all
The hallmarks of 4-0
Semi final defeat.

Elias up top offered us no out at all when hearts started to get on top and to be fair it's not his game

Scott is big laddie but he needs about a 1000 percent improvement today from where he has been

If Doig isn’t fit he shouldn’t be on the bench, if he is fit enough to be used today then he should start.

[CMac1988]

... I mean ... Yeah.


In all honesty we've been gash for an age. If this is what it take then so be it.

[LeithMike]

Macey, McGinn, Porteous, Hanlon, Cadden, Doyle-Hayes, Newell, Stevenson, Clarke, Henderson, ScottPorteous and Clarke are literally the only goal threats. Two defenders. That's a chronic starting 11. It's certainly not set up to keep possession - it's pretty much backs to the wall from the outset.

What would you have done with nisbet, Doidge out?

I'm not saying it will work but he's trying to force a different game on there defence that had very little to think about last week

I agree. Folk have been pishing themselves saying that Shaun won't make things, Melkerson and Jasper are just wee boys being overplayed etc. The players dropped have contributed to some poor performances. After Tynie things needed to change. And he's done so.

Least DJ Hibby might be able to mix it with that lot.

[Carheenlea]

After getting a bit of a shock with starting line up it does look a bit more robust, with guys in there who know the score and it’s certainly more solid looking defensively. The stage is set for Scott to prove his worth (with delivery from Henderson..)

[JennaFletcher]

Henderson is up front with Scott

Hibs playing 3-5-2 with Stevenson central mid

[Smartie]

This is the maddest, boldest selection I can ever remember a Hibs manager making.

In fairness to him - he needed to change it. And there were all sorts of safe options he could have taken - which he has not taken - and he's staked his own reputation and future on it.

He feels like he's seen something, he's seen problems that needed fixed and has made a courageous attempt to address those issues.

That's as positive, polite and dignified as I can be so I'll leave it there.

[The Captain....]

Just have to get on with it now..it looks like we're hoping to keep it compact and tight..slightly worried about inviting pressure.

How we actually score a goal I don't know tbh..hope springs eternal tho. I'm probably as calm as I've ever been for a Derby.. I'm not expecting much so the nerves just aren't there.

This is even worse than I feared it might be.

[Mr Grieves]

Get him to ****

Game over

[Hibs1992]

Difficult to blame Maliney really.

Maloney is the one telling players to pass it out from the back when they clearly aren't capable

[CMac1988]

And folk wonder why we can't sell out... Fans fault though.

[Onion]

This going to be the horror story we all feared. Game over, damage limitation.

[Lago]

Oh dear
Edit game on ��

[GreenCastle]

James Scott closing that down sums up Hibs this season.

[mcfly]

Maloney out

[oldbiker]

Ffs we are really poor, nae tactics except to fhanny about with ball at the back

[sleeping giant]

Well the hope lasted for 20 minutes.

[Callum_62]

Or maybe no, get in there :flag:

[Ryan91]

Back in with a chance

[Mr Grieves]

Brilliant play from Stevenson

[marinello59]

Great response to losing the second goal. Still in it

[cabbageandribs1875]

and yet another yellow card

clarke

[GreenCastle]

Lots of persistent fouling from Hearts and no cards. But Hibs players getting yellow for first tackles.

[Ryan91]

Stupid booking for Clarke

[marinello59]

and yet another yellow card

clarke

I can’t see us finishing with 11 on the park. We had to be physical, unfortunately we have also been clumsy.

[SHODAN]

Hey a thing happened

[GreenCastle]

I still can’t believe James Scott didn’t block that free kick.

[Gatecrasher]

It isn’t about this season, this game is a bonus but had we gotten through to the final I’d bet on a few goals against.
All about next season.

Can't see it I'm afraid

[Allant1981]

I still can’t believe James Scott didn’t block that free kick.

Wasnt much he could do, was just well worked

[Joe6-2]

I still can’t believe James Scott didn’t block that free kick.

He just shouldn’t, shouldn’t be anywhere near Hibs

[AgentDaleCooper]

one positive - stevenson looks brilliant in midfield

[marinello59]

Aye, blaming Scott for that one is a bit of a stretch.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Lewy and Hendo playing well

[GreenCastle]

Aye, blaming Scott for that one is a bit of a stretch.

Watch his attempt at a block.

[Callum_62]

We are certainly still in this game here

Don't buy the hearts were. Dominating narrative that started as they took the lead

Its eeksy peakys this game

2 absolute worldies (especially the 2nd) have been hearts goals unfortunately

[Smartie]

The defence have been all over the shop.

Poor in possession, struggling when being pressed, dominated physically, poor defensive line at times.

I don't think it's been a great idea to bring McGinn and Porteous in out of the cold.

Hearts began to control the game a minute or two before thr goal after we'd started positively

Very much in it now. Newell and Clarke need to keep their discipline

[Scorrie]

Absolutely. What a footballer he is. Gets better with age

[Callum_62]

That's a sticknon yellow for cochrsne there

Not given

Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

[GreenCastle]

How’s that not a yellow on Cadden ?Another foul by Hearts.

[Northernhibee]

We are appalling.

[cabbageandribs1875]

james scott about 20 yards offside, no excuse or awareness

[Smartie]

It's actually criminal that a yellow card isn't given for that foul on Cadden.

Ridiculous.

Feel we are too deep and midfield not giving the back line much protection.

Don’t think we are playing well and have nothing up front.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Sibbick is their weak link

[Onion]

Hibs players running themselves into the ground to try and compete.

[SHODAN]

We are ok.

[badabing67]

Where was Scott there

[1875Sean]

Too many times we are breaking and there 1 or 2 against 5, needs to commit more players forward

[cabbageandribs1875]

unusual no corners after 38 mins

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Halliday going off

[Callum_62]

38 mins in

Both teams have 4 shots and 2 on target

How has no manager since John Collins realised Stevenson is class in midfield

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Massive 10 mins. We cannot concede before HT today

[Smartie]

Sibbick is their weak link

Yeah, he's looked very shaky.

Was brutal at our goal and just hits it up the park when we pt him under pressure.

[GreenCastle]

How many fouls does Sims need to make - Hearts getting away with so many disruptive fouls.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Also looked up for a scrap with Lewy after a tackle. Need to get in his head

[cabbageandribs1875]

that was so slack from porteous

Lazy stuff

Simms is certainly a big bruiser

[cabbageandribs1875]

fs mcginn

[sleeping giant]

Let off

[Callum_62]

**** sake Porto what the hell are. You doing

You won the first header then inexplicable left the 2nd header to Newell, lost it then slid in and played it perfectly to Boyle

Needs to switch on

oh wow boyce misses that great chance

[Northernhibee]

Maloney actually fist pumped that miss. He should be ****ing raging at the defending but he’s seemingly pleased with that.

[The Captain....]

I'd be tempted to take mcginn off at HT..looks well off the pace.

Henderson, Cadden and Lewis done OK for us. Need much more from the rest of them.

[LunasBoots]

Far to casual

[Onion]

Hibs defence is disorganised and shambolic. Every time Hearts run at them, they panic. Horrible to watch.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Simms is certainly a big bruiser

Very effective today though

[cabbageandribs1875]

newwell struggles with a two yard pass

[Coco Bryce]

We are ****in awful.

[Lago]

oh wow boyce misses that great chance
Our defending at times is just awful 🙈

[GreenCastle]

McGinn not played since Feb - so not unexpected he looks a little sluggish.

[Greencore]

Tired legs get jasper and milkman on ?

[SHODAN]

A decent first half performance ruined by a lack of a cutting edge and atrocious defending.

Still in it though.
