Excited for today

[hibsbollah]

Anyone else?

Personally I’m looking forward to having a look at the new generation of players that we’re going to be watching over the next few years. What will be will be in relation to off field turmoil, I just feel this is a good time to get behind the boys, the only way is up.

Mr. Happy Clappy.

Agreed

[ChilliEater]

Yes - me too. Not sure why. I'm not even expecting to see any academy players. I'm half expecting:

Marshall

Miller
Cadden
Fish
Stevenson
Cabraja

Campbell
Jeggo
Newell

McGeady

McKirdy

as our starting line-up.

but - it feels like a really crucial game. I feel like if we lose we get relegated and if we win we qualify for Europe. Ridiculous really, but it just feels like a pivotal point in the season.

[weecounty hibby]

Always!! Just got on our bus to the game. Pretty jovial at the moment. Gallows humour maybe but where else would you be on a sunny Saturday?!?!

100# with you on this but I’m not convinced In the slightest we will see any youngsters playing beyond 5-10 mins sub appearances. I think he will fill the team with already established players - he’s probably got just enough numbers to avoid using youngsters.

[JammyDoidger]

Don't think you'll see much of the young boys tbh, you'll likely get an over the hill Hanlon and Stevenson, then when we go down 2-0 you might get a Laidlaw or O'Connor for 10mins.

Watch all of them sit on the bench and LJ not bring them on whilst he shoe horns players into positions they don’t play

Which is ridiculous to be honest. We are dreadful and down to the bare bones.

When do these young guys get a chance ?

The so called established players have had numerous chances and not many of them can say they deserve a place in the team.

Get the young guys in and let’s see what they’ve got, can’t be any worse than the crap we’ve been watching all season.

[Halmyre Hibee]

I’m a bit nervous about today to be honest. If Nisbet available he must start. Can’t play all the young lads so it’s all about game management. Be nice to see at least one of them given a chance though.

If any of the young guns start I think it will be Ethan Laidlaw, wouldn't rule out two or three getting on at some point.

They need a pick me up and a debut today might encourage them to keep working hard.

Looking forward to it. Back on the roller-coaster. Who knows what it will throw up?

Laidlaw played most of last nights game. No chance he will start.

Are you sure Laidlaw played last night, I wasn't there but message I got from my mate who was there said Laidlaw didn't play. It was the first thing I asked him.

Edit - 100% Ethan Laidlaw didn't play last night

[hibsbollah]

I think you’ve missed the central vibe of the thread :greengrin

The suns even shining on Edinburgh and most folk have been paid :cool:

[green day]

Team last night was -

Owens, Wright, Khan, Hastie, Waugh, J Macintyre, McAlister, Cleland, McGarva, Molotnikov, Bulloch.

No Laidlaw

[BoomtownHibees]

No he didn’t

Mr. Happy Clappy.

Probably won’t see any of the young players. Being presented as trying to bring them through whereas they’re only really there because of the nick of the squad IMO. I’d much rather see them in the team myself though.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

I’m a bit ambivalent about todays game. Quite interested to see if we can pull a result out the bag, although I expect that we’ll do that phud Goodwin a favour and save his skin for another week!

Are you excited for the game though?

[hibee-boys]

Was 50/50 about going today but youngest daughter persuaded me😂

[Hibernian Verse]

If Laidlaw didn’t play last night would that suggest he’s starting?

[Stuart93]

And everything was fairly positive, then up you pop 😕

Apart from the 2 or 3 posters who’d already posted about the young boys not getting on 🤣

Try harder mate

[scoopyboy]

If Laidlaw didn’t play last night would that suggest he’s starting?

I wouldn't go as far as that but they obviously didn't want him injured or knackered for today.

I think we will see him at some point.

:agree:
Time to get back on the horse and do what we do, back the guys on the park.

[andrew70]

Not starting but I believe there’s a rule not allowing them to feature again within 48 hours so probably just mitigating against that.

[Hibernian Verse]

Hope so, he’s been hyped up somewhat on here.

Our development squad must be having record attendances haha

[WhileTheChief..]

Should be a good one today.

Nothing to lose!!

Laidlaw showed promise last season but he has really kicked on this season.

Has come on leaps and bounds.

I'm really looking forward to the game today, I always look forward to watching Hibs but with five of the youngsters stripped I would reckon there could be at least one League debut taking place.

[mutley]

We might lose the manager [emoji12]

If you’re being positive there must really be something in the air ;)

[Hibees1973]

Not really.

Another defeat and if results don't go our way we will be closer to the relegation/play-off spots.

Would darken the mood even more if we get beaten by an Aberdeen team in dire form.

[MWHIBBIES]

You know it's a dreadful Aberdeen side we're playing right? Every chance we can win. This isn't some free shot nothing to lose game. There's very little between the teams.

Nut.

[Pretty Boy]

I was dreading it tbh and felt it was quite likely to be poisonous from both sets of fans.

I doubt many youngsters will start but I think it's inevitable a couple will make appearances from the bench, or it should be. With that in mind I'm quite looking forward to it.

If the team shows a bit heart and desire then much like last week they will get good backing from the stands. We all know there is a lack of quality so effort is all you can ask. I think, for the most part, a lot of the anger is aimed elsewhere, even moreso when it's our own youngsters on the park.

Aye I’m not keen on the narrative that’s being created about todays game that getting something from it’s a bonus

This dons team are horrendous away from home. We should be winning this

A positive outcome??! :offski:

Sorry, couldn’t resist, only kidding folks.

[jeffers]

El Sackio - be interesting today. There will be fans of both sides accepting a defeat if it means the manager is dismissed. In some respects a draw will not be a good result imo, lose today and I fail to see how Johnson in particular can survive.

I think he’s here til end of season, unless the fans made their feelings known in the stands or after a game then it maybe forces the hands of those above.

LJs going nowhere if we lose.

0-0 would be the most likely score if either side had a defence!

[chrisski33]

Can't really get excited about this game. Probably be a boring 0-0 score with both managers keeping theirjobs

[B.H.F.C]

No sure either team is capable of keeping the ball out their net.

[Pretty Boy]

As long as we aren't in danger of relegation I don't really care about LJ getting until the end of the season now.

It's obvious we aren't backing him in any meaningful way now so there is an inevitably about his going. A new manager coming in Feb/March time has to work with this mess of a squad and is potentially under pressure within weeks if results continue in a similar vein to what they have been since that Celtic game.

Johnson's hand is going to be forced when it comes to blooding youngsters so let him do the dirty work in sorting out the ones who have a chance and then give a new guy a clean slate in the summer.

Like we did with JR after the Livi defeat…

[H18 SFR]

No surprise with the team.

[Stairway 2 7]

One of the worst line ups I've seen in since we wentdown, but I'm an optimist so 1 nil Hibernian

[Hiber-nation]

No surprise with the team.

Apart from Nisbet on the bench....he's back so start him FFS!

[H18 SFR]

He’s not trained all week.

[B.H.F.C]

He’s not trained all week.

Don’t think that matters too much. Most in form player in the league. Unless injured, should be playing.

Big chance for McKirdy, he has to step up.

[Stairway 2 7]

Nisbet could have been in ibiza all week and I'd start him they way the rest have been playing

[GreenCastle]

He’s not trained all week.

Is it punishment for Nisbet to be on bench or on bench and won’t be used to avoid injury (transfer) ?

Who knows..

But a team that doesn’t have many goals in it you would think he would start but maybe LJ trying to show authority.

Time will tell.

[SChibs]

Looking forward to this. A good win today and a wee draw for Livi tomorrow and we should be focusing on looking upwards rather than Downwards regarding the league table

[hibsbollah]

McKirdys chance to shine. 2-1 Hibs.

[tamig]

A most enjoyable afternoon 🙌
