Hope Magennis is playing and the team posted is wrong!

He's on the bench

[007]

They've "won" loads of penalties this season, many of them very dubious, so we need to be careful not to give them a chance to "win" one today.

[Diclonius]

Marshall, Hanlon, Newell, Cadden, Nisbet, Stevenson, McKirdy, Youan, Fish, Campbell, Bushiri

Magennis on bench.

McKirdy will score today.

[GreenCastle]

Similar team that played Boro for 45 mins in friendly expect Hanlon for Mitchell.

A McKirdy winning goal would be perfect - either that or he will get sent off.

I’ve got that feeling too.

[Unseen work]

Must admit I would have preferred a similar ish team to the previous two but I imagine Magennis and his ‘load’ will come in to play and then losing Porteous will mean he wants to change things.


What game to through Fish in to.

I’d be stunned if McKirdy never got sent off

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

A central midfield of Campbell and Newell at tynie? Lol

[MWHIBBIES]

I'm not sure I see what the plan is there. I'll take 0-0 now.

[hfc-1875]

Is there any chance it could be

Cadden
Rocky
Hanlon
Stevenson

Campbell
Fish
Newell

Mckirdy
Nisbet
Youan

[Since452]

McKirdy? Dear god.

[HH81]

Grim midfield to be fair. Can't believe Magennis is not starting, can't be injured as on bench. Odd.

[Iain G]

Who is Megwa?

[B.H.F.C]

Just play Magennis in the middle of the park for me. Or is that too simple?

[Hibees1973]

Magennis not playing, why?

If he is carrying an injury he should not even be on the bench.

Johnson knew Porteous was suspended for today so why not give Fish some decent game time before. Johnson's decision making beggars belief. And as for McKirdy starting that is a joke.

The bench is full of lightweights and players who are constantly injured not robust for a game like today. When we go behind none of this lot will change a thing.

I don't have a ticket for today. i'm off for a long 3 hr walk down the East Lothian coast.

[GloryGlory]

Obviously. He’s suspended

Ahh, right!

[Iain G]

I do mind that formation though. Hoof

343 surely?

[Unseen work]

What’s the formation?

………………….Marshall…………..

Cadden…..Rocky….Hanlon….Stevenson….

………………Fish…..Newell…..

McKirdy……….Campbell……Youan…..

………….…………Nisbet……..

Or

……………………..Marshall…………

…….……..Fish…..Rocky…..Hanlon….

Cadden……Campbell….Newell……Stevenson….

……………………….McKirdy…….

……………….Nisbet…….Youan……

I’d expect the second one

[Brightside]

Yep. Very odd line up. If it works he’s a genius but I’m not seeing an area of the pitch we will dominate with that team.

[Allant1981]

Who is Megwa?

Young defender, RB I think

[hibsquaker]

That team will be 3 down by half time. I think Lee is wanting to get sacked. Mckirdy would get bullied by Leith U16s never mind Hearts. Unreal.

[GreenCastle]

A central midfield of Campbell and Newell at tynie? Lol

Against Snodgrass / Devlin …

[PH91]

352 or 343 to match up with them?

Looks a bit of a mess on paper and a strange game to be starting 2 players with only 1 previous start between them. I can't get my head around dropping magennis.

[J-C]

I said on the team thread that it's a weak tam and a midfield of Campbell/Newell will get dominated as McKirdy /Youan aren't known for their chasing back and getting stuck in, looks like LJ is working his ticket with this team.

[CentreLine]

No Kuharevich? Was hoping he would be available

[HH81]

It actually looks like LJ is!

[-Jonesy-]

Anyone got a sneaky hearts tv stream?

[Unseen work]

Personally would have either have played Cabraja and shoved Stevenson in midfield to replace Porteous or have a straight swap with Kenneh in for Porteous.

Teams done now though and last time folk questioned it we beat Livi. 4-0.

Credit for going so attacking.

Nervous about Fish starting his first competitive game at Tynecastle however and McKirdy staying on the park.

Looks like he’s matched up Campbell and Newell with Snodgrass and devlin

Youan was our best defender against Celtic!🤣

[Carheenlea]

That McKirdy song that was popular on a few earlier in season away days will end up being the chant of choice at Tynecastle later. Heard it here first

:flag:

[thebausburst]

That team will be 3 down by half time. I think Lee is wanting to get sacked. Mckirdy would get bullied by Leith U16s never mind Hearts. Unreal.

He will make zero impact and probably get sent off. LJ will finally sub McGeady on once the game is gone, Hearts will spend the last 10 mins popping the ball about to cheers from the tramps.

[Allant1981]

Youan was our best defender against Celtic!🤣

Mckirdy does a fair bit of running as well(when he gets on)

Not in a few previous games before that where he jogs back and does nowt, got humped 0-4 so couldn't have been that good. :greengrin

Was thinking that as well.

Fine old pros they are, but not to have replaced these guys with an upgrade sums up Ron's son's recruitment over the last 2-3 years.

On the 50th anniversary of 0-7 I find myself in despair at that line up and dreading what's to come this afternoon.

[hibee_girl]

Can we at least wait until full time before tearing into Hanlon and Stevenson?

[Crunchie]

Why’s he dropped Magennis 😂
Crazy decision imo but what do I know. In Johnson I trust. CMON Hibs get into them and do us all proud. :flag:

[Mcbizz1998]

Awful team tbh. We need a miracle.

[Smartie]

Hanlon and Stevenson would probably have been the first 2 names in the team sheet for me, alongside Campbell.

Fair to say that this one can be filed under “hope rather than expectation”.

No real issues with the team, it’s not like Johnson has overlooked dozens of superior options.

I think it’ll be a back three to match Hearts up. But now seeing the Hearts team, they’re probably not playing their normal back three.

I always feel a derby in particular you need to win the midfield battle. On paper that selection looks light in that department. Kenneh would have been in my team.

[wookie70]

Looks a poor selection to me but we have had some good results when the selection has been questionable. I'll cling to that and hope that none of those centre halves play in midfield

[CMac1988]

Team looks a little funky but given how we've played these last couple of months I'm not sure it matters much. Would've thought a lineup more similar to the one against Livingston would be obvious but it's difficult to gauge. McKirdy will have been desperate for a start so now's his chance to show he's got more than the odd sub appearance has offered.

That team is an abomination and that manager is an utter disgrace experimenting again as he hasn't a clue what his best line up or formation should be.

He hasn't a clue about Scottish football and he doesn't even try to hide it from his lofty arrogant perch as even basic homework tells you that Hearts are a strong running team who rely on their midfield 5 to dominate games.

He isn't even trying to suppress or compete in midfield and the end result of this game is absolutely inevitable.

[Stubbsy90+2]

You can't make a statement like that without explanation. Why is it really poor? Who should be in and on what basis? Too much of this on here. All talk, nae substance.

Yes I can.:faf: I didn’t realise every post needed to be have an in depth analysis to go along with it. You’d probably be sitting here asking why I’m ‘slaughtering’ individual players if I gave an in depth analysis but I’ll tell you why I think it’s a really poor team.

The poster who posted the team before it came out says it’s a 4-2-3-1, so on the presumption that is what we’re playing then:

We’ve got a guy who’s not a full back at right back, we’ve got a midfielder who is a permanent fixture in an underperforming midfield in Newell who desperately needs dropped imo, we’ve got Cadden at right wing now when he’s never a winger in a million years, McKirdy has done nowhere near enough to justify a start and the centre of midfield is extremely lightweight and we’ve got our best centre midfielder on the bench.

How do you sign 15 (ish) players in the summer for your starting 11 to look as poor as that?

[lyonhibs]

Definite hints of LJ closing his eyes, picking the team and saying "that'll do".

That Campbell and Newell are - again- deemed the best we've got with no CM upgrade or options (aside from a teenager CDM) sorted in the summer is a damning indictment of the recruitment "strategy" in play at Hibs at the moment.

Now, show me how pathetically wrong I am and I'll be delighted 😅

There it is. Hammering on the cards

Yeah let's give up now huh after 12 mins.

[HFC 0-7]

Will fish, shocking and Newell looking everywhere apart from his man. We are honking and defending.

[Unseen work]

That is horrendous by Fish.

No matter the level, no matter how little game time you’ve played that is awful.

[Vault Boy]

I can’t stand this side

[The Spaceman]

Horrendous goal to lose. Can’t blame LJ for that though, that’s just Fish having an absolute howler.

[Diclonius]

The Fish is sinking.

[7-Zip_Mike]

Someone PM me link ?

[MWHIBBIES]

LJ - go now and take the dross with you. 😁

You mean Ron Gordon, right? Lee Johnson didn't appoint himself, neither did Maloney.

Gordon is the idiot.

[HH81]

Hibs started well but that error was appalling.

[Unseen work]

The worst thing about that is the opening 10 minutes I thought hearts seemed flat

[Smartie]

I suspect Will Fish won't be playing many games for Manchester United.

[The Captain....]

Like a Fish out of water.

Individually and collectively abysmal defending.

Regardless of him not being a fullback that was schoolboy defending from Fish

[silverhibee]

You must have the same provider as me, Hearts tv is working on mine.

Hibs tv back up.

[Callum_62]

Rubbish from Fish and a stupid pass from mckirdy.Nothing wrong with the pass

The pass back to Marshall was easily on to begin with

Blame LJ all you like he doesn’t set his team up to defend like that. Players are just poor.

[Stuart93]

That shankland will never score goals in this league

[Austinho]

Would also appreciate a link on PM please! (will no doubt regret it)

[wookie70]

Interesting tactic not marking Shankland for set pieces.

[Sir David Gray]

Absolutely dreadful from Fish.

[Torto7]

LJ is a clown. Blame Ian Gordon all you want but this guy is a chump.

[Basildon Hibs]

You mean Ron Gordon, right? Lee Johnson didn't appoint himself, neither did Maloney.

Gordon is the idiot.

LJ has final say on signings- so he keeps telling us...😁

[Torto7]

Blame LJ all you like he doesn’t set his team up to defend like that. Players are just poor.

He signed Fish.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Regardless of him not being a fullback that was schoolboy defending from Fish

It was but that’s what happens when you play guys out of position. We’ve seen it before.

Absolutely terrible stuff.

[Basildon Hibs]

LJ is a clown. Blame Ian Gordon all you want but this guy is a chump.

👍👍

[jakedance]

Brutal defending and the kind of mistakes they just don’t make against us in these games. A complete gift of a goal.

[Diclonius]

Players have shat it already.

[Scottie]

He signed Fish.
He didn’t tell him to defend like that though did I he.

[thebausburst]

Said before KO, starting Fish and McKirdy was a big mistake, both combine to hand Hearts a 1 goal start.

[cabbageandribs1875]

fish caught in possession again


does he think this is a freakin stroll or what

[Gatecrasher]

LJ is a clown. Blame Ian Gordon all you want but this guy is a chump.

I blame them all, Hibs as a club are a shambles right now and they all are to blame. RG, IG, LJ, BK and so on.

[-Jonesy-]

Anyone with a link able to PM is to witness this ****show

[MWHIBBIES]

That shankland will never score goals in this league

He was always good against championship players, tbh.

Its only against us that he scores from open play mind. Penalty merchant.

[Torto7]

The team still doesn't have a style of play and resembles Jack Ross's tactics. Thats on coco the clown in the dug out.

[Johnny_Leith]

What the **** are we doing? What a shambolic start all round.

[McGruber]

We have a free kick and their box is loaded. Under no pressure, instead of putting a ball in we turn out under no pressure back to Rocky. They are still deep and he turns and goes back to Marshall under no pressure. They know they have us

[Iain G]

Said before KO, starting Fish and McKirdy was a big mistake, both combine to hand Hearts a 1 goal start.

Let's hope they both score in the 72 mins that are left!?

But well done on the "I told you so" so early in the game

[Brightside]

Why bring in Fish as a RB?

[Torto7]

McKirdy looks every bit the lower league pish that he is.

[CMac1988]

Brutal... Campbell too slow, Rocky panicking.

[jeffers]

It was but that’s what happens when you play guys out of position. We’ve seen it before.

Absolutely terrible stuff.

Waiting on the ball to go out of play was poor whether he was playing fullback or centre back though.

[The Captain....]

Why bring in Fish as a RB?Cos every other option is just as *****?

mckirdy getting the blame for that goal is ridiculous imo

[WhileTheChief..]

Yeah let's give up now huh after 12 mins.

Give it a rest eh.

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

Well at least it was early. Time to recover, but not looking good. They look more committed.

[silverhibee]

Absolutely dreadful from Fish.

Making to many mistakes, I would hook him now.

[easty]

mckirdy getting the blame for that goal is ridiculous imo

Fish to blame 100%

[Stuart93]

Why bring in Fish as a RB?

Cause LJ’s not got a clue what he’s doing

[WhileTheChief..]

He didn’t tell him to defend like that though did I he.

He was singing his praises before kick off and didn't have any concerns about starting him today.

Maybe regretting it now mind!

[Onion]

Just need to keep it to 1-0 and have a Hail Mary last min to steal a point. Have faith.

[Iain G]

Give it a rest eh.

Give what a rest? Being positive? Not happening 🤣

[HH81]

mckirdy getting the blame for that goal is ridiculous imo

Yep fish at fault.

[One Day Soon]

Got back to the house ten minutes late for kick off only to find we were 1-0 down already. Imagine my surprise.

[Chorley Hibee]

fish caught in possession again


does he think this is a freakin stroll or what

He's a guy who wasn't good enough to play for Stockport County in the National League.

What do you expect.

Just our usual **** recruitment.

[mcfly]

We just lack quality. Simple as that.

Our recruiting in last 2-3 seasons isn’t good good enough.

[Diclonius]

We're in deep water at this point.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that was a heartz throw-in

[Scottie]

Has Newell ever beat the 1st man with a long throw in in his Hibs career :rolleyes:

[Centre Hawf]

Playing a lad with zero starts since he signed in August, out of position, in an Edinburgh Derby is absolutely criminal from Lee.

[cameronw-hfc]

Has Newell ever beat the 1st man with a long throw in in his Hibs career :rolleyes:

Have we no scored a few from his long throws?

[One Day Soon]

Hibs started well but that error was appalling.

A great first ten minutes again?

[HH81]

Playing a lad with zero starts since he signed in August, out of position, in an Edinburgh Derby is absolutely criminal from Lee.

Looking for his golden handshake and get back down to England IMO.

he's like a fish out of water here unfortunately

[-Jonesy-]

If you can handle the popups

Very important person row.me may be able to help you

[Torto7]

We look utterly stinking. Wake up ffs.

[Mcbizz1998]

One look at that team sheet and anyone who has any experience of watching hibs in a derby should have known what was coming.

[chrisski33]

LJ is a clown. Blame Ian Gordon all you want but this guy is a chump.

I blame it on his night out last night

[Hibrandenburg]

McKirdy showing Fish how to shield a ball.

[Don Giovanni]

Playing a lad with zero starts since he signed in August, out of position, in an Edinburgh Derby is absolutely criminal from Lee.

LJ clearly still pished from last night.

If Fish was the masterplan why not give him some minute before today?
We had half an hour or more against Celtc when the game was already over to give him a run.

[e2los]

If we are going to score today, anyone got a clue where the goal/s will come from?
Early in the game, but I'm not seeing where we are going to score from.

[H18 SFR]

Playing a lad with zero starts since he signed in August, out of position, in an Edinburgh Derby is absolutely criminal from Lee.

Made worse as he’s a manager who has actually played at that tip and knows you have zero time on the ball. Fish looked like he was playing at hampden vs 8 men.

[The Captain....]

Nearly every week LJ seems to make selection decisions that cost us goals.

The sooner he is away the better.

Yep.

[HH81]

Cadden could have been sent off there.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Get that **** Cadden off before he’s sent off ffs!!!

[cabbageandribs1875]

cadden very close to a 2nd yellow card there, very close

[The Spaceman]

Our midfield is grim. No strong ball-winners. No good play-makers. No pace. No real physicality.

Magennis on at HT surely.
