Team vs Aberdeen

[Tambo]

Two teams on a bad run of form and both under pressure managers from fans and pundits.

With the ongoing Porteous transfer and now millwall's new offer for Nisbet, what would you're team be if both this players have left come Saturday?

Marshall

Fish
Mcgregor
Hanlon

Cadden
Lewis

Jeggo
Newell
Campbell

Mcgeady

Youan


Cabraja was better on Sunday than he has been in the past so maybe a little harsh to drop him but I feel more safe with Lewis.

Joe will return and I'm hoping with Jeggo sitting deep will allow a bit more freedom for Joe further up the pitch.

Some might question Mcgregor's inclusion but without any ins I think it's stronger and a back 4 with Fish and Hanlon as 2 CB'S. Hoping Miller is doing well in training this week looking for a start.

Would prefer Youan over McKirdy to lead the line, Laidlaw with another goal yesterday stakes his claim for some first team action.

A front 3 Youan Laidlaw Mcgeady would be a bit better than Youan up on his own but that would leave having to play 4 at the back.

Who knows we might get a few bodies in come Saturday? Oh it's on Alba 6pm so due to lose😁

[heretoday]

We'll murder Aberdeen and all will be well again.

[Chorley Hibee]

Christ!

That line-up should show everyone the state we've been left in by the absolute clowns running the club.

[LunasBoots]

Aberdeen are crap, we'll beat them 😉

[flash]

I think Porto will still be here so would go.

Why isn’t Nibet in any of these teams?

[loanheadhibby]

Are they worse than us because we're certainly crap?

Porto
Fish

Laidlaw comes on ht for McGeady.


Hanlon needs a couple of weeks to properly recover as he will be needed a lot for the rest of the season.

[JimboHibs]

Are they worse than us because we're certainly crap?

I would say majority of teams in the SPL are crap.

[Tambo]

Why isn’t Nibet in any of these teams?

Just assuming Kevin has unfortunately left come Saturday.

[basehibby]

Nisbet won't be going to Milwall - and Porteous will probably still be a Hibs player on Sat.

Notwithstanding these flawed premises and assuming McGeady out and no new arrivals:

Marshall

Caden Fish Hanlon Stevenson

Campbell Jeggo Newell

McGeady Nisbet Youan

[Unseen work]

…………………………Marshall………..

……..….Porteous….New CB…..Hanlon…

Cadden……….Jeggo……..Newell………Cabraja….

………………………..Mcgeady…..

………………..McKirdy …………Youan…..

Expect Nisbet to be gone which means we’ll need to reshuffle the formation as McKirdy and Youan can’t play up top on there own.

Expect a new CB in .

[SHODAN]

Assuming Porteous and Nisbet are gone by then:



Marshall


Cadden Fish Hanlon Stevenson

Jeggo Newell Campbell

Youan McKirdy McGeady



Ugh.

[danhibees1875]

If we're playing Stevenson, Mcgregor and Hanlon we may as well see about bringing SDG into the squad for a laugh too.

What's Fontaine up to?

What's Fontaine up to?

Pfffft...lacking ambition by only asking after Fontaine there, mate. Surely we ought to be pushing the boat out and getting the whole game back together? Super John McGinn maybe not fancying the English top flight quite as much now and preferring a dire relegation scrap instead...

[leithsansiro]

Genuinely, any line up that people can create which includes the likely departures of Nisbet and Porteous that doesn't seem horrible would be a thing of beauty. LJ would probably be just as well sticking the names of all fit outfield players in a bag and picking ten out at random.

It's ridiculous that we're facing the quite probable situation of having to depend on either Will Fish, Stevenson filling in at CB or Darren McGregor coming in from basic retirement.

I don’t think I can ever remember a time at Hibs when the defence, the midfield and the forwards were all “the problem” at the same time.

To be fair the forwards weren't a problem until yesterday.

[Smartie]

To be fair the forwards weren't a problem until yesterday.

No, although some were making the argument earlier this season that they were, prior to the return from injury of Nisbet and McGeady and Myko finding his shooting boots.

Personally I thought the midfield was more of an issue…

[scoopyboy]

The point is a fair one though.

There isn’t a team in this thread that inspires confidence rather than instigating cries for divine intervention.

Picking the team for Saturday has become very depressing.

Surely we have at least one new signing before Saturday, probably a CH. Still wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Bailey Wright makes his debut v Aberdeen.

[mcfly]

We were told start of window we had too big a squad.

Looking at this we will be lucky to fill a bench on sat. And the likely team must be one of the worst starting 11 I can remember.

start to get really concerned the direction we are going.

No team will fear playing hibs.. it’s a disgrace this has been allowed to occur.

[loanheadhibby]

No 1

[GreenCastle]

The lack of goals is a serious concern.

If the stats are right...

Campbell is now our top scorer who is fit to play with 4 goals last goal was September 2022 against Aberdeen.

Youan hasn't scored since October 2022.

Cadden, Newell and Henderson have 1 goal each.

As bad as Aberdeen have been they still have players who can score goals like Miovski - 11 goals - Lopes 9 goals.

[loanheadhibby]

I don't know what you mean but please tell me you're not sticking up for the Kyle Magennis signing.
I'm not for one minute blaming him purely talking about the signing.
It's been a disaster.

[Stuart93]

Who knows at this rate

It’s going to be a stinking line up whatever it is

[Smartie]

This is going to be the worst Hibs XI selected for a competitive game in my time following the club by some distance.

I actually feel sorry for Lee Johnson in having to try to put something remotely credible together.

Big game too, with consequences for the losers.

It’s a ****ing disgrace.

It means "fixed that for you".

Sticking up for signing a promising midfielder who was captain of the team we signed him from you mean? Yes, absolutely. Injured - maybe, but nobody could have foreseen whats happened to him.

It hasn't gone as well as either party would have wanted.

Kind of, but Johnson has been part of the recruitment of something like 15 players so he's not without responsibility for where we are. Tavares was one he trumpeted that even at this stage isn't getting a look in

As a season ticket holder, I’m not going to go to the game. The club are taking the piss out of their loyal supporters and it has left me completely disenchanted. We have completely torn the team up halfway through a season much like they did with Jack Ross and Maloney last January. I really can’t be bothered with this anymore, it’s not worth the effort getting there.

Yeah.

Ridiculous to say he won't be in the team due to him not being involved in any shape & tactics for the last couple of days.

With the ability Nisbet has got he's able to slot in easily.

If he is not starting tomorrow it's because he is biding his time between now and Tuesday.

That looks a likely lineup - maybe Stevenson in for Cabraja?
Unless one of the young lads is standing out in training I don't see many other options.
As a straw of comfort, the front 4 there actually looked good vs the JTs - let's hope they can turn that into goals tomorrow. Wafer thin at the back like you say. Looking for Fish to rise to the challenge and give us a big performance.

He came off the bench last week when he wasn’t fit to play. He’s still not fit to play but I’m sure LJ will still pick him.

Will Nisbet start? What kind of reception is he going to get?

[basehibby]

He came off the bench last week when he wasn’t fit to play. He’s still not fit to play but I’m sure LJ will still pick him.

Are you sure about that? Sauce?
Don't know what the nature of his injury was but should be in relatively good condition as he's played plenty games this season.
Who would you play if Hanlon is not sufficiently fit?

[jonny]

I hope Johnson will give some of the youngsters a chance this time.

Will Nisbet start? What kind of reception is he going to get?

I hope Nisbet starts, simply because he's the best striker we have by a country mile.
I'll give him the same reception as I do every Hibs player.

I fail to see what he's done wrong here. Millwall make an offer to Hibs, Hibs accept it. Nisbet for whatever reason decides against it and remains a Hibs player.
That's the only facts we have - everything else is pure speculation

Hope Tavares can at least get on the park tomorrow

Why?

My dad first took me to ER in 1956, since then the periods of mediocrity - and worse! - exceed the good times. I share a lot of the negativity that's around.

BUT, whatever 11 players walk out on the pitch today, they are OUR players. It's easy to back the team in the good times but our support is needed more when times are tough.

So, I hope we can put the negativity behind us for 90 minutes and play our part in securing 3 points. The spin off being that some who only seem to come on here when things go wrong won't be online tonight 😉

Assuming cadden is fit, why have 3 right backs in the 18 though?

Cadden, Miller, megwa

Mind you, that's the same with Stevenson, cabraja and macintyre.

Pretty sure Megwa is a centre back who has played right back? Could be wrong but when I've seen him play for 18s he was CB

[Hibby Bairn]

Support the team. Whoever is playing.

[Brooster]

He's a RB who can play CH. He's not in the squad today.

[Billy Whizz]

That seems strange Brooster, was in the squad a few weeks ago, and thought he’d be one of the 6 today

[Since452]

William Hill have us favourites today. Very surprised at that.

[Brooster]

5 academy players in the match day squad of 20 today. Kenayo isn't one of them.

Agree with the mediocrity and worse ,exceeding the good times. Many of us will remember standing with circa 5,000 supporters in a 65,000 capacity stadium when playing so called lesser teams. At that time very few supporters had season tickets. I guess that if we currently had the same number of season ticket holders now, our crowds would be no more than 7,000. Over my 66 Hibs supporting years the club has made no progress on the footballing side and attitude towards supporters. Unless the owner and management focus their minds on improving what we see on the pitch we are in for a few more miserable seasons. I compare watching Hibs to the Bullseye TV programme when the host Jim Bowen would say to a loosing contestant, "This is what you could have won".

That’s what I think too based on what others have said. He must play Niz if he’s still here.

[jeffers]

Be very surprised if he doesn’t start.

[Real Emerald]

Nisbet will be on the bench I reckon. Don’t see him starting.

That would be ridiculous, Aberdeen got knocked out the cup from a team who had been at their work through the week. Surely a professional footballer playing with his own teammates can manage 90 minutes after a trip down and up to London the previous day. He’s not that delicate surely, snowflake if he can’t.

[easty]

Nisbet will be on the bench I reckon. Don’t see him starting.

Pointless having him sat on the bench. He’s available or he’s no.

[Trinity Hibee]

Nisbet has to start regardless of what has gone on the last few days. He is our only goal scorer so to not play him would be LJ asking for the sack.

[ElginHibbie]

Nisbet has to start regardless of what has gone on the last few days. He is our only goal scorer so to not play him would be LJ asking for the sack.

:agree:

Nisbet also has to show his focus is with Hibs and so hopefully get a performance out of him

Exactly. He's our top scorer. Start him.

Totally agree. Think it will be that. But that defence does not inspire any confidence does it??

It's going to be like driving past a car crash this afternoon.

You know you shouldn't look as it will probably be really horrific but you just can't help yourself.

None at all. 2023 and Hanlon and Stevenson in the same back 4 is ridiculous.

Almost right. You got 1 wrong.

No Megwa :agree:
