Hibernian v Ross County

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

We go again, in need of some valuable points, giving the closeness of the teams vying for 3rd.

Team news and updates here folks. Expect the team news to come out around 6:30/ 7ish.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Team prediction

Marshall

Cadden
Rocky
Porto
Cabreja

Magennis
Newell
Campbell

Melkerson
Myko
Yoann

[wookie70]

Can't see Hanlon getting dropped. I think he will go 352 again with the team below but I would have Melkerson in place of Youan and Campbell in place of Kenneh. Tough game as Ross County are capable of causing the odd upset and we are all over the place in terms of consistency. We have been decent at home though and we should have enough.

Yeah I don’t think he’ll drop Hanlon either but I’d like to see us have more attacking options. I think he likes the three of Porto/Rocky/Hanlon so we might not see the 4 at the back again unless forced into it.

[Donegal Hibby]

Really don't want to see 5 at the back at home to Ross county. Hoping we go for a 4-3-3 and take the game to them .Looking for a big reaction from our team tonight .

GGTTH. :flag:

Team announced

……………………..Marshalll……….

……..Porteous…..Rocky….Hanlon……

Cadden…..Kenneh….Newell…..Mitchell…..

………………………Henderson……

………………Melkerson……..Kuharevych……

It’s the exact team I said I wanted if Boyle was unfit so happy to admit I know nothing about football if we lose 😅

[EGL2000]

magennis injured?

[Allant1981]

magennis injured?

Is he not suspended?

[Paulie Walnuts]

Magennis suspended or injured? He missed St Mirren but was back on Friday so I’m presuming it’s injured?

[Fergus52]

Happy to see Mitchell back in, think he'll give us a decent threat down the left

[Sir David Gray]

Is he not suspended?

No he only missed one game.

[Mikey_1875]

Opportunities for a few to make themselves regulars in the starting eleven.

I don’t expect us to be troubled much defensively tonight I just hope we have the killer instinct in attack with Melkersen and Myko forming a good partnership.

[Hibs90]

Surely he's not injured again ffs

[Malthibby]

Really hope Magennis isn’t injured again

Wonder if it’s a case of managing his ‘load’, something sports scientists love going on about.

Getting ahead of myself but if winning and comfortable I’d like to see Jair given a decent amount of minutes tonight

[Stuart93]

If magennis wasn’t injured I’d imagine he’d have at least been on the bench.

If he’s injured, again, it’s really time to look into trying to get him moved on

Was thinking the same. Missed a lot of football so 3 games in a week might be seen as too much too soon and managing the load - hope so anyway

[Smartie]

Not the team I’d have picked but upon seeing it I like it.

Melkerson has earned his chance and I reckon Mitchell is a very good player who just needs an injury free spell.

Henderson vs Magennis vs Campbell - you could pick any one of the 3 imo, not unhappy it’s Henderson.

I don’t think we need to reinvent the wheel re the team but we need certain key figures to cut out the mistakes and play for 90 minutes.

So if he's hurt his shoulder and misses one match, we must get rid?

At least wait for confirmation and context ffs.

I’d prefer 4 at the back but I don’t know which CH I’d drop, and who I’d then bring in to be potentially uncomfortable elsewhere.

The 3 at the back looked fine (very good) against St Mirren and should do here.

Disappointing to see Magennis out.

If Melkerson is up to it, then tonight, home to the worst team in the league, is a night he has to show it.

Just reading there that Marshall has made 25 saves this season and conceded 20 goals in the league. 44% of shots on target result in us conceding. That must surely be a league highest.

10 of those 20 goals have come in just two games. Kinda skews the stats a bit. Marshall and defending have been fine most games. How many games has Marshall had where he's had no saves to make?

[Stuart93]

I have visions of Jordan White scoring a header after an uncontested cross into the box

Hugely frustrating for everyone at Hibs and Magennis that he’s out with a hamstring injury.

Niggles are common when you’re just back from a long time out but we need him back consistently asap.

I think Hibs are probably being overly cautious with injuries and slight niggles with the imminent WC break.

Why risk further injury knowing they have 4 weeks off to rest and recover

[Ryan91]

Certainly fills me with confidence. His distribution in particular is light years ahead of what we have had the past few seasons.

Hardly had any efforts on goal, apart from very easy save from Henderson.:confused:

No really, while i agree we did completely dominate, the actual figures were 50.5% dons, 49.5% Hibs.

As for shots on goal, or chances created, e hardly made their keeper sweat.

Melkersen is scoring tonight, heard it here first.

We are way too slow in possession here. Need to speed up the passing and pressure.

Very.

By far the worst Premiership side I've seen this season.

We seem to have solved the problem of not converting chances by just not creating any.

[Pretty Boy]

You expect mediocrity from the middle but when the extremes at top and bottom give the impression of compressed careboard then you know you are in trouble.

A comment on my pie rather then the game but it's applicable to both. Thus far the dullest game of the season by some refs way.

[Ronniekirk]

Merkelson getting his chance against a poor team If he doesn’t score tonight he won’t get a better chance
But if we aren’t making chances the question is why can’t we against a team that’s near the bottom and hasn’t won many games
Loads of time left but why can’t we have the confidence to press them high and create chances

What a total waste Mitchell has been. The worst thing about it is that it was entirely predictable looking at his injury record at Hearts and Blackpool. We haven't been hard done by here, it was just a really poor decision to sign him and even more so to pay a fee.

That's really the never ending problem...we saw what happened when he was in Saudi.. hopefully improves when KN gets back and Kyle gets back to full match fitness.

Shocking goal to concede, must admit as soon as the corner went short it should have been blown for half time.

But awful defending again.

Created next to nothing all half, lack so much imagination and little players have any game intelligence.

It goes down the right and eventually a ball gets chucked in with no aim or thought.

[B.H.F.C]

We need to get a centre half off.

Melkersen working his arse off, making loads of runs but nobody to pass him the baw.

[Hibeesforever]

Cheque book needs to be out in January, imposters...sell our central defensive duo

[Carheenlea]

If the defence spent more emphasis on defending the corner rather than worrying about how much time had gone of injury time we might have kept that out.

Huge second half to come. Fans patience is wearing thin.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Awful stuff.

Not nearly good enough.

What do you expect with pish like Henderson playing?

He’s garbage every game. Even the game he scored a good goal he was like playing with a man down.

[Stuart93]

No wonder there’s boo’s at half time

[Paulie Walnuts]

Think this puts to bed the laughable suggestion we’re massively improved from last season.

We are absolute pish, bottom 6 beckons.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Oh boy. This is grim. 2 forwards been abysmal

Have we created many chances for them?

[EGL2000]

Up there with the worst half of football at Easter road, zero quality in either side.

[Onion]

Badly missing our sticking plaster, Martin Boyle.

[Unseen work]

Myko has been poor tonight.

All Henderson is done is go next to Cadden when he bombs down the line and wait for him to lay it off and Chuck a nothing ball in

[tonyrougier123]

We are shockingly predictable, nothing redeeming in this team whatsoever.
And whilst I’m ranting Johnson’s interviews look increasingly half assed.
Let’s get someone in with a bit of enthusiasm ffs.

[Stuart93]

This game hasn’t been any better than Maloneys hibs team

[Paulie Walnuts]

Cheque book needs to be out in January, imposters...sell our central defensive duo

Why bother?

It’ll be the same ****ing clowns signing the players as the last few windows.

We’ll get more of the same pish we keep getting.

[hibsbollah]

Really really poor.

[MWHIBBIES]

We need to get a centre half off.

Melkersen working his arse off, making loads of runs but nobody to pass him the baw.

Melkersen is a huge part of the problem, hasn't held the ball once.

[Ronniekirk]

Half time 1-0 Ross County.

Absolutely disgraceful performance so far.

My prediction of 2 1 hibs is still on

[Mrimbetween]

Not one shot on target. They have one

Jesus wept

[One Day Soon]

We are ****. Pretty, dinky-trinky ****. But **** nonetheless.

[cabbageandribs1875]

sell some of our 173 development players and get a couple of first team players

[Mikey_1875]

Well that was the most boring half under LJ so far. Now a 45 minutes of Ross County time wasting to look forward to with Alan Muir doing his usual f.a about it.

We really need to find our cutting edge somewhere this half.

[Callum_62]

This game hasn’t been any better than Maloneys hibs teamFunny, I was gonna say this is very similar to most games under Maloney

Show and pedestrian with almost zero penetration

I know some people may not have been a fan of what they’ve saw but it’s time to give Jair a chance.

He’s at least created at times when he’s been on and he’s played about 5% of minutes compared to other players.

Even Youan to show some pace and threaten.

Unfortunately County are just going to sit back the remainder of the game now and we’ll be at a loss trying to figure out how to break them down

[SlickShoes]

Absolute garbage, the midfield raises its ugly head again. Strikers will get nothing playing like this.

[Since452]

The most Maloneyish performance since Maloney was here. I've defended LJ massively but that was dire. 3 points or he's under pressure.

[marinello59]

:agree:

[expresso]

Got a stream just before Newell conceded first corner.
Just knew we were going to concede a spawny goal in injury time as predictable as it was pathetic.

[CMac1988]

What do you expect with pish like Henderson playing?

Managed a goal and assist in a game where he was otherwise nowhere to be seen like most of the season so he's in the good books again... Same with Campbells short spell. Just far too many bang average players. Newell after a few good games is back to having a few games where he does **** all. Only Melkerson is trying to make things happen up front but nothing is coming off and no one is helping. Only other player of note who doesn't look like he's going to injure himself running and who can actually run at speed is Rocky. Kenneh has won the ball a few times but he's so slow.

[Smartie]

Absolutely bowfin.

3 at the back and that midfield - never going to get us back into this game.

Hard to see what we do to get back into it as we’d just be introducing more problems to replace the problems we have.

I’d maybe be inclined to take a CH and get somebody (anybody) on for Henderson.

This is grim though and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Hibs team carry so little threat going forward against a poor side.

[Ryan91]

Familiar story, by far the better team with nothing to show and then poor defending from a set piece does us in with a nut punch goal

[Scotty Leither]

Is there anybody in this team capable of taking a man on?

[Hibee Mac]

Was the player offside when they won the corner they scored from? Looked off to me in real time, var can't intervene though

[MWHIBBIES]

Have we created many chances for them?

They've both lost the ball every time they've touched it. Nothing to do with creating chances. They're failing the absolute basics.

[Chorley Hibee]

But we've supposedly improved loads since last season.

Wasn't that the argument?

We're utter *****, and we're no further forward than 12 months ago.

****ing criminal, especially given the amount of money wasted on utter piss too.

[high bee]

Worrying times, we just don’t score enough and bar a few brief periods over the years this seems to be our identity where we dominate the ball but don’t score then get punished.

Please put Campbell on for Henderson second half.

[Jim44]

I’ve laughed and scoffed at stupid calls for sacking LJ, but I couldn’t care if he left tomorrow, now.

[Pretty Boy]

Cheque book needs to be out in January, imposters...sell our central defensive duo

Cheque book out for what? More of the gems we signed in January and the summer?

You may as well let my 5 year old decide who we sign if this is the best we can muster.

[Northernhibee]

I’m sure Ron’s son will have someone from the San Marino reserves league that looks great on a spreadsheet lined up.

[J-C]

What a poor goal, LJ needs to get back to 433 as this isn't working, if he doesn't change things big Ron will start getting itchy to boot him, we already know he doesn't muck around.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Campbell off for Henderson, Jair on for Hanlon or Porteous.

It’s actually quite sad I’m typing that out as our best options.

[Stuart93]

The most Maloneyish performance since Maloney was here. I've defended LJ massively but that was dire. 3 points or he's under pressure.

I genuinely think you’re right about your last sentence.

To drop 3 points tonight would be woeful

[CL0762]

We need to get a centre half off.

Melkersen working his arse off, making loads of runs but nobody to pass him the baw.

The amount of times he has dropped into that massive ****ing whole in midfield for the ball and has been consistently ignored by either Porteous or Rocky is actually infuriating beyond belief.

[SHODAN]

Even if Johnson goes, and he will if this continues, the owner's son will appoint the next failing manager and sign the next batch of sub-standard players.

It's the same sense of futility I felt under Petrie pre-Dempster except somehow worse.

[McGruber]

Utter dire from Hibs. So predictable to lose the goal in injury time. No coincidence we concede so late in halfs - such a weak mentality.

3 centre backs occupying 1 striker in open play. 3 centre backs can't deal with balls in the box.

This 2nd half could well be pivotal to the direction of our season. Johnson better be brave with the formation and subs

[Wheat Hound]

Maloney ball all over again. Very worrying.

[MWHIBBIES]

What a poor goal, LJ needs to get back to 433 as this isn't working, if he doesn't change things big Ron will start getting itchy to boot him, we already know he doesn't muck around.

He's mucked about big time since he arrived. As much to blame as anyone if another manager fails.

[Weir07]

Was always going to happen. We have been ****ing brutal. Why is Ewen Henderson at this club? Miles away from being good enough.

Spot on re Henderson, adds nothing.

With Stevenson on need to go to a flat back 4. Still don't see a comeback. Draw at best.

[dmc1875]

Is there anybody in this team capable of taking a man on?

Cadden is also mince btw. Absolute mince most of the time.

Yup.

This is a carbon copy of last season. Start alright then fall away. End up bottom 6 with a pish squad. There’s very little to like about this Hibs team.

[Up-the-slope]

that half was like watching one boxer stand and let the other hit them for most of the round while holding their hands by their side... and saying 'is that all you've got'... and firing one punch and sticking opponent on the canvas...

will he get up and show he does have more than that :dunno:

[Unseen work]

I’m assuming Mitchell went off due to injury? Anyone know what’s wrong?

I’m normally not that guy and I don’t know if it’s frustration but him and Magennis need to get fit pronto and stay fit or we’re going to have to look to offload them.

Both will be on a decent wage and have offered next to nothing in the time they’ve been here

[Paulie Walnuts]

Cadden is also mince btw. Absolute mince most of the time.

:agree:

[Nicho87]

Get rid of Mitchell, Henderson, in January, one injury prone, one has 1 decent game every 20.

Not good enough, flat flat flat

[Hibeesforever]

Boyle should be playing, poor from the club

Yes.

Held his thigh a few times before going off.
