Dundee Utd v Hibs

[Billy Whizz]

By the time we kick off on Sunday, we’ll know where we sit in the table
We can’t go with the same team as last week, so what does LJ do?

This isn’t an easy game, as United are fighting for their lives
Think we’ve sold a lot of tickets for this game
Defeat is unthinkable, and would put pressure on us for the last 2 pre split matches

[Trinity Hibee]

I’d be giving Myko game time as we need him to start in the derby. Need to play 2 upfront in both games. DU leak goals so we have to go at them.

Imagine Newell will come back in to the starting 11 too

A day before the game and this thread has barely moved.

What’s happened on here recently? The chat seems to have dried up a lot.

Threads move more slowly, and less and less of them talk about the here and now with Hibs. Instead we’ve a lot more ‘historical’ type threads. Favourite past players, best passer, best header etc etc.

This isn’t a criticism of anyone or anything, just an observation.

It feels like there is far less interest leading up to our matches then at any time I can think of, but then the crowds at ER are actually up come match day.

Is the forum quieter in general than previous seasons, or is my post here just nonsense with nobody else thinking similar?!

I’d be doing what I could to get Myko and Nisbet in the team

[Pretty Boy]

I would be very surprised if both Hoppe and Doyle Hayes don't drop out. I'd quite like to see:

Marshall

Miller
Hanlon
Fish
Cabraja

Jeggo
Campbell
Newell

Tavares
Nisbet
Youan

As I said on another thread there were a few flashes in sub appearances that Tavares offers something. His cameo against Hearts in the cup was decent and showed both a bit of confidence and skill. He will offer more than McKirdy imo. Miller was very unlucky to drop out last week after his efforts at Celtic Park although I get why it happened. It we go back to 4 at the back I'd bring him back in. Newell simply has to start. People can argue that it doesn't say much about our squad or whatever but he's out most complete midfielder by a fair distance.

I think if we do go with that shape then it's more likely we will see either McKirdy or Henderson but I'd prefer to try something a wee bit different. We know the ceiling of the latter and the former has showed little.

Fwiw I think Johnson will try to get both Nisbet and Myko in the team team so it will be a different shape altogether.

I’ve probably been on here as much as ever (bad addictive habits with my mobile phone or seeking distraction when working on my laptop) but it’s been a season that’s been so hard to get excited about. I just had a look back at our results as I couldn’t remember - last game I was at was the Killie game in February which was only the second game I’d been at this year. Taking into consideration the WC etc I’ve been to very little football since October and I probably won’t be renewing next season. I’m playing my first game of golf since October when we’re at United tomorrow.

It’s just been stop start rubbish, the team feels like it’s in it’s umpteenth transition season and going nowhere. This is only partly true as European qualification is always a huge carrot for me and it’s hugely achievable but mostly I’ve just fallen out the habit.

I think you’re pretty spot on here. Feels bold to be dropping Egan Riley (and I might have him in for Jeggo in your team) but I don’t think we can fit all our best players into a team without having to play a really wonky formation or players out of position.

Only other change I might consider would be Myko in for Nisbet. Nisbet’s a better finisher but early season Myko was better at linking the play and is the best, I think, at being that focal point striker although there’s not much in it.

Same 11 players but I would go 4/2/3/1 with Jeggo and Newell together, Cadden and Youan wide right and left respectively and Campbell as the number 10.
I think we should stick with this shape and player selection for the remainder of the season.
It is imperative that we win a European spot for next season and continuity of shape and players would help achieve this. It is the wrong time of the season for introducing players because “they need minutes in their legs”. Players like McKirdy, Henderson, Hoppe etc should be on the bench and introduced to replace injured players.

It’s been 3 years of this
1st full season under Jack Ross, we got 3rd and a cup final, but the fans didn’t get in
Last season only a few highlights, inc beating Rangers at Hampden
This season pumped out both cups at the beginning. Probably beating the Dons 6-0 being the best, but many lows

Pretty much where I’m at. I’ve renewed for next season but I’m getting very little enjoyment out of watching us. It will be another season quickly forgotten for me.

[Keith_M]

Nisbet to score a hat-trick.

[He's here!]

We're often pretty obliging when our opponents need points desperately so this has the makings of a 1-0 United win. Particularly if our pathetic performance last week isn't improved upon.

Youan being back will help tho.

The crowds are up on match days but how many are actually enjoying themselves. Look around on match days and everybody looks miserable. I am certainly not enjoying games as much...maybe an age thing😀.

Team I would like to see and will be interesting to see the line up after last week.

Bit harsh to drop Campbell after a good season but after last week he could have no complaints if that does happen.

I think Cadden will start over Miller and we don't have much options out wide on the right so stuck McKirdy in there.

Hopefully Laidlaw or O'Connor feature and I can't see Oscar starting.

[B.H.F.C]

We have to win tomorrow seeing the results today. St Mirren got Rangers next week and Aberdeen got them the following week so points will be dropped. We need to go and win our games. It’s there for us.

I wonder if the average age of the posters on here is behind the bit in bold.

When you get older, you tend to look romantically at past times and events.... and get a bit more miserable about the here-and-now.

It’s simply unthinkable for us not to win tomorrow
In fact I expect us to win the next three games

[Alex Trager]

Motherwell hadn’t won at home minus 1 game this season. We were up next and tipped to fail. We won.

The sheep hadn’t won away since October, had shipped 5 to Hearts, been beaten by a team I hadn’t heard of and had hibs next. We won 6-0.

Despite all these prophecies, there are two recent examples of Hibs not giving out gifts to those in turmoil.

I fancy us tomorrow.

[JammyDoidger]

Hearts lose 2 games in a row to utter codswallop, surely to god we can't do the same, players need to go out there and take advantage, last week was bad enough, we are playing the team rooted to the bottom of the league. Get the 3 points! And again next week, are we a winners or a bunch of losers? Tomorrow will go a long way to deciding that.

I was thinking this also. We play a team that's bottom of the league followed by a game against a team that's lost 6 out of the last 7 in the league. We really should expect a minimum of 4 points from 6 available. I personally don't think Johnson is the answer but hoping that he proves me wrong between now and the end of the season.

[Ronniekirk]

How come. Were you there last week?
No I was t but watched it on Firestick Dreadful performance
But Youan is back and Nisbet back scoring
They are not in good form ,so if we can’t be up for this one tomorrow then something is wrong

Given today's result the The Rangers chances of winning the league are almost gone. There's going to be a chance for other teams to take points off them now. Could see them easily dropping points.

I feel we are better away from home when teams come out and play rather than sit in so hoping for a win today.

I’d quite like to see us go for it with a really attacking 442

………………Marshall………..

Miller……Fish…..Hanlon…..Stevenson…….

McKirdy…..Jeggo….Campbell…..Youan…..

………….Kuharevych….Nisbet…..

Solid defence with the 2 I’d midfield doing all the work. I don’t think the midfield will get loads of the ball today so get them on the back foot and make the team who are bottom and struggling for confidence defend

Realistically it’s a bit too open and will probably be more like

………………..Marshall……….

Cadden….Fish…..Hanlon…..Stevenson…..

………….Jeggo……Newell……

McKirdy……Campbell…..Youan…..

………………..Nisbet……..

Although I’d be surprised if he never managed to squeeze CJ into the starting line up. Probably stick Campbell on the right, McKirdy on the bench and CJ centre mid

[Vault Boy]

This has the feel of a really big game for us given yesterday’s results.

Bit of a litmus test for Johnson really, one which he needs to pass IMO. Bombing out of both cups so early gave us relatively little to play for this season, but that could change significantly if we manage to spin a couple of wins in a row.

Hopefully the run starts today. Mon eh Hibees.

[Pretty Boy]

I'm really not buying into the whole 'Uniter are fighting for the lives' narrative.

It's true but it's been true for weeks and they still haven't managed a win and have barely mustered a performance of note. On paper they are a decent enough side, in practice they have been horrible for most of the season. We have our own fight today, it's not some dead rubber for us against a team with all to play for. You could maybe accept getting outfought in such a situation but that isn't the case so really their predicament is of no consequence and no excuse.

It's a game we need to win and one we should be winning. If Kilmarnock, Ross County, St Johnstone, Aberdeen and even Hearts can beat them in recent weeks then so can we.

[7Hero]

This has Jim Goodman's redemption written all over it. We've put 6 past Aberdeen and even with hearts floundering have missed countless chances this season to cement a place in third.

Were just not capable of winning when it matters. I cant see how today will be any different.

Of course we can win when it matters. Huge game for Hibs today that is for sure.

To win this game, two things have to happen: Johnson has to get the team selection, formation and tactics right; and the players have to deliver when the chips are down. I am worried on both counts, but we’ll soon find out.

Watched highlights of them at Ibrox last week looked like they were well organised and had a threat on the break. What is sure though is that their goalie Birigitti is awful and we should be shooting on sight if he plays.

[007]

Myko was our best player at times earlier in season before his injury.

He needs to start.

Have been disappointed, and surprised, not to see more of him since he came on at Livi and scored.

[Bobby's Cinema]

We need a win today - going into the game next week knowing a win would take us above them would be huge.

Realistically given our performances in the tougher fixtures and venues this season, I think we need a minimum 7pts form 9 before the split to be in the 3rd 4th mix.

Sure does. Maybe a bit too vulnerable at the back?

[Mikey_1875]

Didn’t think Egan-Riley was as assured playing in the three last week so it will be interesting to see how he gets on in the two with Fish. Not ideal going into it with a new partnership but very few options.

McKirdy has to show us something today. At least with Nisbet and Youan in the team the goals shouldn’t be far away.

[Unseen work]

What makes me nervous about that team is crosses to the back post.

I think when Hanlon and Cabraja have been paired together we’ve conceded a few goals at the back post and between them, so I half assume it’s maybe down to Cabraja’s concentration/positioning/communication.

CJ will need to be on his game and aware of Cabraja and make sure he’s organised to prevent it.

I expect Fletcher to target that area for crosses and attack them.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Ehh, how? That team makes perfect sense considering who’s available

Devlin on the bench who although may not have started yet would at least add some experience. Ditto Stevenson who could add extra experience to the back line.

Lots of chopping and changing and little consistency week to week.

[HibbyKeith]

Miller done nothing to deserve being dropped after his performance at Parkhead, with most that attended the game saying he was potentially Hibs Motm.
I'd have played him in place of Cadden today for his height at defensive set play, especially with the loss of Hanlon.

[McGruber]

If Devlin isn't ready to step in we can forget this as a viable signing. Egan-Riley at centre half is make shift. Hopefully he turns in an assured performance

Surely playing Devlin who hasn’t played a minute and hardly a game this season would be more of ‘selection bingo’ than CJ who has played every game since he joined.

Stevenson and Cabraja have rotated all season so no massive change there

Absolutely. Extra height with Hanlon missing.

Got to feel sorry for him. Waiting for a chance, gets in at Parkhead of all places. Turns out a solid performance even with 10 men. Given a chance and takes it - dropped immediately. The man that comes in for him turns in a stinker - keeps his place next game. He must be frustrated

Yip don't see anything wrong with the selection, I'd possibly have played Miller but it's hardly selection bingo as suggested, quite a decent team that's starting

Give the guy a chance ffs

Anything but 3 points today please, I hope Youan is up for it today as he has been our go to guy recently.

A lot of talk through the week so now up to McKirdy to shine today.

Some eyes will be on Marshall after last week so we need to keep it tight at the back.

[Skol]

McGeady coming across very well on the telly. Not sure I have seen him in that role before.

LJ sounding very positive.

I can put up with a rubbish result if it happens but there’s no excuses for another crappy performance this week.

Perform as we should, and can, and we win this.

FFS Hibs just for one season change the narrative and actually grasp the opportunities when they arrive! If we lose this that's another season down the pan.

Mon Hibs we can come from behind.

[Hibrandenburg]

Cracking header.

[Hibees1973]

Starting with 10 men with McKirdy playing.

My eyes bleed when I see him in a Hibs shirt.

Huge call from Johnson selecting him. Must be ripping it up in training as he has contributed nowt when I have seen him.

Top 6 and Johnson's tenure at Hibs culminates in this game against the bottom side who have not won in 10 games.

Lose today and I cannot see a top 6 finish for Hibs given we have the Yam (who even though they are poor but we cannot seem to beat) and our bogey side St Johnstone in the final game before the split.

[skyehibee]

Bye top 6

[blackpoolhibs]

That sums us up, miss a sitter then concede a much harder chance. :rolleyes:

[Aldo]

I know. Nisbet should score and as others have mentioned they get a chance and score.

Looking like the make-shift centre half he is. I think it's probably his 1st senior start in a centre back pairing. Lovely day for it

[Hibs90]

Woeful defending once again.

Egan Reilly can play at CH? He was caught out there.

Team selection masterclass from Johnson again. Guy should be nowhere near the Hibs job.
