Probably what I would have picked.

Mitchell on the bench seems to have come from nowhere! Surprised to see mcgregor there too.

[Willis1875]

Strongest team available to him imo
Looks good on paper

[JohnM1875]

Actually buzzing with that starting XI.

Gutted Tait and Delferriere aren't in the bench though. Probably means they'll be out on loan.

[Stuart93]

Decent team. Very attacking.

I’d still like to see a CB and CM come in. Midfield still lacks something for me.

[Callum_62]

5 new signings start

Offt

Mitchell makes the bench too

I'm guessing Kenneh and Newell will be told to sit and Hendo, Jair, Youan and Melkerson to cause havoc up top
Can't see it being boring that's for sure

Intriguing lineup, really interested to see how we do today.

Think it was suggested he wants McGregor back involved with the first team to help the new guys along.

[Bridge hibs]

Would still have liked to have seen Tait on the bench, by all accounts he seems to have stepped up pre season, minus Portugal of course

I’m really disappointed in that if that’s going to be the case!

Like that team. Bit of everything there, and strong options off the bench too.

Someone I know plays for Dunbar and says Tait is by a mile the best player he’s played against this pre season from Hibs, Hearts and Raith. Said Delferriere was also excellent.

[hibsbollah]

Midfield still lacks something for me.

Ill give you a clue, he’s better than Zidane, captain of his premier league club and has a outsized derrière.

[Vault Boy]

Bold lineup going with two debutants, but I like it. Shame for Tait, though. Thought he’d get his chance.

[Northernhibee]

Sha La La La La La la
Elie Youan

Really looking forward to seeing him in action.

[Unseen work]

Exciting and risky team given the amount of new signings starting and not had many minutes.

Will be a really tough game as it always is against them, we’ll need to be right at it from the off. Loads of there players will have a point to prove against us.

Really looking forward to seeing Cabraja and Youan properly

[Callum_62]

Someone had a wee bonnie in the centre circle?

BTW, steward told us to sit anywhere in the blue seats in the ormand stand.... Can see havoc if folk do that and folk turn up wanting to sit where there ticket is forhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220730/fe2782cbcb75251fee4cc366700e5433.jpg

Aye would’ve liked to have seen both involved

[Unseen work]

Mitchell just have fairly impressed to go straight into the squad, not even seen any photos of him training let alone playing in bounce games etc.

[Tambo]

Let's go loving the team! Going for it first game of the season with the new signings.

Thought Henderson and Newell linked up well last Sunday so hoping for the same today

A goal for Melkersen and Youan would be dream opening day stuff.

Mon the Hibs GGTTH

[Paul1642]

I thought Doidge might have started. Otherwise it’s pretty much the team I would have went with.

[JohnM1875]

Think LJ really likes him. Been a few interviews where he's spoke openly that Mitchell is a player he's tracked for a long time.

[GreenCastle]

Can’t really complain with 5 new players starting.

Has this team ever played together ?

Agreed we still need to add couple new players.

Agree about Tait and AD - would be good to see them get more of a chance.

[CentreForward]

Like the look of that team but very disappointed not to see Tait and Delfierre involved. Really hope we don’t send them out on loan.

Catchy tune!

Thing is - even in a short space of time last season Mitchell added assist and goals. Hopefully he can stay fit.

Definitely. Be great to have him back fully fit and looking forward to seeing him play under LJ.

[Unseen work]

Yeah makes sense, can see him really suiting his style of play.

Sharp, quick, direct and loads of energy.

A goal threat too, really hope we can keep him fit.

[FilipinoHibs]

All for goals and glory.

Looks quite a poor attendance today...

[itslegaltender]

Getting to sit on any seat at the Ormand Stand. Cash gate.

[HH81]

Looks a decent team. Mon Hibs

[Aldo]

Hopefully hit the ground running.

Let’s do this Hibs!

3 former Hibs players in the St J starting 11.

Considines lack of pace will hopefully be exploited!

Doesn't look like LJ fancies Doidge

[WhileTheChief..]

Good to see so many new faces starting.

Absolutely no idea what to expect today.

[Callum_62]

Doesn't look like LJ fancies DoidgeI thibk he fancies Elie big time

Feeling he's gonna be a big player

Gotta give Johnson a bit of kudos for going so attacking and getting the new lads right into the team

Means we are starting with pretty much half a new team today

Sportsound ripping into us today!!

Not saying anything new, all the same stuff as we'e been reading on here the last few months.

[Smartie]

Quite like the look of the team although depending on the fitness levels of the new arrivals it sort of picks itself.

Be interesting to see how all of the usual questions are answered - does Joe Newell turn up and does the midfield blend work? Does anyone get on the end of a Cadden cross? Does Rocky carry his recent good form into the big, competitive games? Can Hibs do the 433/ 451 justice? Does Porto look like he's on the right side of the "channelled aggression" line?

[CmoantheHibs]

We have players with good movement in the forward areas. They will find spaces. Feel confident about today.

[hibbyfraelibby]

With Rocky and Porto attracting cards like moths to a lamp and Hanlon out Big Daz is what you need on your bench

[PeeJay]

Think many of the comments are fair myself ... up to the team and club to make things right now ...

[J-C]

Still don't understand how Campbell gets on the bench ahead of Tait.

Strong side today and starting with Youan shows maybe how good the guy is.

Yep pretty much the same old boring drivel apart from blaming it on LD leaving us, which I don't think I've heard before.

[makaveli1875]

C’mon the hibs .

[Unseen work]

Will need to be switched on defensively.

Murphy and Carey are both capable of producing moments of real quality.

Got a good feeling we’re going to blow them away with our pace, energy and press.

[Brightside]

Due to the manager knowing more about football than any of us.

[CmoantheHibs]

Let's come flyingkout the blocks Hibs

[McGruber]

Not quite everything, little physicality up front without Doidge. Hopefully not needed and we are good enough and quick enough to play through with good attacking football. Glad Doidge is on the bench if we need yo mix it up

Campbell's been a pretty good emergency left back in the last couple of games. It might be reasonable to expect Cabraja to tire later in the game - Campbell's probably the best option to slot in there.

Didn't even think of that, you may well be right.

[CmoantheHibs]

Henderson has started very well.
