Hibernian v St Mirren

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Such a big game after an eventful transfer window.

Lovely day for a kick-aboot.

Not enough new guys starting for me.

Seems a strange team, no out and out striker?

[He's here!]

Probably unrealistic to expect an instant transformation with all the new faces so we may have to brace ourselves for some frustration today but I do think there's an undercurrent of optimism that things might be moving in a better direction. A win today coupled with an Aberdeen defeat would be the ideal.

[Exuberance1875]

Whatever the question is, Jair is not the answer.

Vente needed to start today too

[Stuart93]

Can only imagine youan upfront? Maybe mayziene

Regardless, it’s not great that your £700k striker is being dropped for a winger

No Mayenda is a huge surprise.

I'd like to see more of the new guys but many of them haven't played much football recently and probably not match fit.

Suspect we'll see a lot of subs.

Tavares & Youan. Levit & Newell. Disappointing not to have more new players starting and we’re still hoping some of the fundamental issues aren’t costly.

Wonder when we will finally start a new central midfielder.

[Mikey_1875]

Not the team I expected but there are plenty options there. I would expect Yoaun and Myziane to be swapping around a lot. Great to see Cadden and Le Fondre back on the bench.

[Northernhibee]

Regardless, it’s not great that your £700k striker is being dropped for a winger

We need to stop focusing on the price we paid for Vente as the truth is that after a bright start, he just doesn’t score goals and is largely anonymous.

Hopefully a spell on the bench sparks something in him as so far he’s not been good enough to guarantee a start.

Yeah I don't love that those 4 have all kept their place. All I can hope is that other new signings aren't match fit yet and we'll see more of them in the coming days.

Not great news. We don't want finish the day in 8th.

Got a feeling Rangers may yet win the title.

Oh, Celtic level as I type...

[jeffers]

Wonder if Youan will be playing centrally today with Maolida wide.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Levitt and Newell as the two in centre midfield is a bit of a disappointment for me.

Some bench. Feel for Megwa. Recalled, started then benched.

Whittaker has had a good run of games at his age but he's struggled recently imo. Like you I'm really surprised to see him starting ahead of Megwa. Why did we bring him back from his loan if he can't get ahead a game now?

Megwa dropped and Whittaker, who’s flattered to deceive recently, back in

Only area that hasn’t seen a change is the same lethargic one paced midfield

Just think there’s a few big calls in the starting 11 today. Hopefully it pays off, don’t think it’ll take too long into the game to see how things are going to pan out

Monty will have the last laugh when Whittaker is on a hat-trick by half time.

I would have liked Megwa to start over Whittaker and Vente to play, probably for Jair. Otherwise probably the best team possible factoring in match fitness.

[hibsbollah]

0% chance of rain according to the bbc. Of course, its raining. The wind is howling like anne budge

Im ****ing baltic out here.

[Stuart93]

However, more positively, there’s a lot more options on the bench to change it

[hibee-boys]

Same midfield that’s been bossed for weeks🤷🏼

[BSEJVT]

Tbh I don't know what to make of that selection.

My initial reaction would be that the manager has decided he rates some players and others he does not. But the continued selection of Newall and especially Levitt would tend to dispute that.

Whittaker for Megwa/the other signing from Bournemouth is a surprise for me (The Bournemouth guy may not be fit). I don't personally think Whittaker is anywhere near ready and it is a concern for me that the manager is that stubborn as to play and potentially risk ruining him.

Having said that Megwa has been caught out a few times and appears to offer next to nothing going forward.

Vente - wont be here in the summer (and we will take a bath on moving him on)

Jair - Seems bullet proof, not sure recent performances deserve continuing starting spot

Youan - Probably the biggest surprise for me, I wouldn't have thought him to be a Monty type player

Fingers crossed it all works out

Have you heard anything regarding Vente or just a hunch. I still think he’s going to come good. His first few games he was scoring every time he touched the ball. With service the goals will return.

[Stuart93]

Agree. I don’t think it’s worked any time they two have started down the same side.

Whittaker struggles with the lack of protection from Youan

St mirren will target that side for sure

[Unseen work]

I know what you mean but Whittaker was very complimentary about Youan in a recent interview and how he spoke to him throughout the game

Same. I know hes a young laddie but he is miles off it.

[Heisenberg]

Same. I know hes a young laddie but he is miles off it.

Megwa has been at fault for two goals in the two games he’s started so I wouldn’t say he’s a much stronger option at present.

St Mirren will target that side though, it’s a certainty.

[tamig]

Can you not just wait and see how things actually pan out without your constant doubts and moaning? I’m sure most of us are glad we appear to have decent looking options available now. I am for sure anyway.

[McGruber]

Where's Bevan?

Extremely strange. Taking the Harbottle place in squad? Need centre backs, sign him on short term and doesn't make the bench when Rocky still away and Hanlon is ill. Is he available for selection?

[BSEJVT]

Have you heard anything regarding Vente or just a hunch. I still think he’s going to come good. His first few games he was scoring every time he touched the ball. With service the goals will return.

No not heard anything, but don't think Monyy fancies him and he has been on a brutal run of form.

There's plenty debate on here about formations etc, but its incumbent on Vente to make the most out of what he's got and he isn't

One position you cannot persist with a totally misfiring player in is striker and its difficult to see how he turns it around as I think his chances will be limited

[Donegal Hibby]

Bevan not even on the bench , he injured ?

Which I’ve also said?

Usually a more consistent starting 11 over a period of time reaps rewards as opposed to the constant chopping and changing.

It’s only three changes from last week. One because of illness, one because a striker hasn’t been scoring and one which is a bit of a toss up.

We’ve signed 7 players in the last month some of whom are still coming up to match fitness. Consistently is not a realistic option until that levels out.

If you bring in seven new players, is it not reasonable to expect a few of them might start? Selection bingo was a strange choice of phrase.

Heads up - the layout of Hibs kids stuff and kiosk in FFL is a nightmare. Not much room with queues for everything

Obita showed he can cover left centre back pretty well.

It would be horrendous for us to have to write off a big chunk of that fee if we had to move him on

Megwa has sold two goals in his two games. It’s a coin toss between him and Whittaker until we have Miller and Cadden available

He's not going to claim that he's turned around Taveres's career then drop him. He's been poor for a while though.

I wouldn’t say Jair has been particularly poor lately. Always creates at least a few chances during games. There’s a few ahead of Jair in the queue to get dropped imo but a few on here just don’t seem to rate the boy at all. Hope he scores today.

Myziane is a striker who can also play on the wing, he said so himself in his interview so I expect him to be upfront. Triantis, Maolida and emiliano starting should reinvigorate the team enough and we still have some quality in the remaining team.

I think Levitt will look good today with emi in front of him.

Having praised Hibs for their January business I can’t get my head around this team.

Same midfield that has been brutally, miserably, woefully inadequate for the past couple of months. Kid at RB who clubs have been starting to target. Multiple changes across the back 4 again. Striker starts who looked poor up front from the start then outstanding off the bench out wide.

Monty’s neck is on the block, having been backed. This is the sort of selection that invites all sorts of trouble imo.

It looks to me like he's saying 'last chance' to a few of the guys holding the jerseys. They can then have no complaints if they are replaced by better. Look forward to seeing who slots in where.

I get the argument about not making too many changes (I’ve been arguing that we should attempt to play a settled back 4) but I cannot understand how we can bring in several players who play midfield but not start any of them.

Square pegs in square holes and not persisting with the same midfield that has seen us be quite **** in recent weeks.

I just think that's a question of match fitness. I suspect the team on the pitch at full time will look a bit different.

[Smartie]

Wouldn’t have dropped Megwa, kept changes to the back 4 minimal (if Hanlon is injured or ill then I’d have been tempted to play Obita CB again with Stevenson LB).

I’d have anyone in for Levitt, probably Amos. Can’t see us being competitive enough in the middle of the park, and I’m not mad on Youan at RM, especially with Whittaker behind him. The nature of Youan is that this week he’ll have a stormer in the attacking sense, and it may yet be that he’s up front with Maolida at RM, but tinkering more at the back, keeping a dreadful midfield together and making a change up front doesn’t sort out what has been a pretty f’ing awful Hibs side for the past couple of months imo.

Hope I’m wrong, wouldn’t be the first time.

Fair point.

I was a supporter of Jeggo - I think that whole unit looks a bit more robust with him in there for Levitt.

Robinson did a pretty good job on us on the opening day, when we were playing a team that looked on paper to be a decent Hibs 433/ 451 side. I expect to see us struggle in the middle of the park and get ripped down our right, just like we were that day.

Too easy to get to the bye line and any basic cross we struggle with. Oh for a defence that can do the basics.

[Not In The Know]

He's 17 now but agreed.

Also been an issue all season leaking goals.

An improved Goalkeeper and backline with better midfield cover needed for ages.

3 phases of poor defending. Topped of with our rookie RB being caught for the 3rd game in a row.

teams deffo targeting that area.

Same problem all season, neither manager looking like they know how to fix it.

[cubehindthegoal]

We have a relegation defence. No question about it.

We need to give him a chance to find his best defence with the new players, and make it work … but at 1-0 down the doomsayers will circle … my timing here won’t be good lol .. but hey …

[Callum_62]

Still think we will get back into the game - I think we have good quality up top

Defence is a worry tho

Just once do you think we could make the opposition score a good goal rather our ****ing chucking one in?

We've got another game on Wednesday remember, rotation especially among the younger players will be needed.

Megwa isn’t “ready” either.

edit sorry that was a reply to brydekirk… neither are … but isn’t that us giving young players some experience that they will develop from .. which some on here say we haven’t done this season

[Paul1642]

Couple balls across the 6 yard line in the last few minutes but no one on the end of them

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

The most hibs thing is Gogic scoring

We’ve been decent in attack all season seeing as we are/were the top goal scorers outside the old firm

Defence has always been the problem and remains to be seen if it’s been addressed.

What do you think of it from a Hibs perspective?

3 opportunities to do something about it

None taken

Its hardly goal of the season material

Marcus Fraser with a wee petulant kick out there at Whittaker

Should've fell over and rolled around

ok though assistant ref had a word with him

[Hibs90]

I think Rory needs a wee loan tbh. Nowhere near ready yet, does some things well but basic aspects of his game aren’t there.

[Stuart93]

Levitt giving the ball away in acres of space…yet again.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Remember everyone saying we have had an amazing window.

It’s only amazing if they’re good.

Just can’t stop the ball hitting the back of our net and now we’re struggling to put it in the opposition net.

Recipe for disaster!!!!!

Time for the players to step up!

Levitt again brutal so far, has he actually passed it to a team mate yet, unable to do the basics here and a very disjointed performance so far.

[Heisenberg]

It’s only our stubborn manager that doesn’t seem to see it

Who else do we play tbf? Megwa isn’t looking up to it either.

[blackpoolhibs]

Get Levitt tae ****, a complete waste of a jersey.

[Callum_62]

Nah, it'd be James Scott scoring.Surely it's a gogic, Scott double act

[Diclonius]

Levitt simply isn't good enough for us.

[The Modfather]

Joe Newell getting the ball, pirouette then square pass and all momentum gone. That sums my frustration with him and the midfield up. A time and place to do it but not as the default option.

[HendoDelivered]

Nah, it'd be James Scott scoring.

Which will happen its so obvious 🤣

[Stuart93]

I’m guessing we just don’t work on passing in training? Cause it’s slack as **** constantly!!!

I think we could all do with that!

Poor goal to lose, especially to him!

[Stuart93]

We bring someone in who’s better and loan megwa & Whittaker out

[cabbageandribs1875]

ffs Ellie pass to one of our side

[easty]

Who’d have thought that going out and signing 2 20 year old Centre halfs on loan wouldn’t solve our horse piss defence?

[Jpdhfc]

levitt and youan na

[Since452]

More of the same garbage today so far

[The Modfather]

Not many pass marks the first 20 minutes.

[Heisenberg]

We bring someone in who’s better and loan megwa & Whittaker out

So we have three first team right backs on the books? Mental.

[BSEJVT]

Levitt simply isn't good enough for us.

Very poor man's Stevie Mallan

[Ardenttwo]

Levitt giving the ball away in acres of space…yet again.

How does this guy get a game with Hibs baffles me.

[blackpoolhibs]

Dont you just love it when Newell plays as a 3rd centre half.

[Stuart93]

So, this is looking pretty pish again eh

[HH81]

Levitt must be on last chance saloon. Poor again.

[sean04]

25mins in at home in a must win game. 1 nil down. No shots on target. Jair still playing

[Heisenberg]

Levitt is definitely as described by Dundee United fans when we signed him. Not interested at all. Punt in the summer.

[Gatecrasher]

This is dug ***** already, a few decent bits of link up play mostly rubbish. Lost count the number of times the ball has been given away already.

[J-C]

Newell drops deep, gets it from Fish and then immediately pings it back to him, he then drops deeper and Fish squares the ball back and repeat, no wonder there's zero momentum from this team and it's scary that our manager cannot see this, we're so easy to play against.

[Gmack7]

Levitt will get the hook at HT

[The Modfather]

More of the same garbage today so far

Not enough of the new players playing. Same as always from the likes of Youan, Tavares, Fish, Levit & Newell.

[Paul1642]

I was really looking forward to today and felt out season has been ready to take a sharp upward turn at any moment.

So far it’s not been great 🙄

[berwickhibee]

Jair has done nothing for weeks.

[The Captain....]

That loan may well come I think, if we get sufficient strength in his position(s) in the summer .. I see a bigger picture strategy here, does anyone else ? Or is the short term view the only viable one ? The shorter the better .. 🙄

[Jones28]

Like the majority of his team mates then.

Powderpuff, slow and predictable utter ***** so far.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Slow. Sideways. Take your time. Look up. Backwards. Sideways. Look up. Nothing. Sideways. Look up. Sideways. Don’t look up. Backwards. Look up. Misplace pass. Cough up possession.

Oh for the days of Tony Mowbray.

[Dmas]

Don’t know how much longer I can watch Levitt, doesn’t offer anything body language screams doesn’t care as well

[Unseen work]

This is horrendous.

It’s anything but attacking football, 30 passes amongst our defence and Newell/Levitt before it goes long.

St Mirren end up outside our box within 3 passes

[sean04]

Jair has done nothing for weeks.

I'm no going back when he's playing. Pathetic

[Stuart93]

I’m genuinely not convinced NM will see out the rest of the season

[Jones28]

😂😂

Pathetic indeed

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I’m not convinced he’ll see out February.

[RIP]

St Mirren are playing like they mean business.

We are jogging around, second to every ball.

We could sign another 11 players. Its not a lack of talent that will get us relegated.

It's Montyball

[cubehindthegoal]

Levitt must be on last chance saloon. Poor again.

These are the things we need to explore … then deal with …

I guarantee you that if we let him go now, there’d be outcries here if he did even reasonably well elsewhere … and “make your mind up” wouldn’t salve them …

I predict he either comes good the remainder of this season .. and we are glad that we waited … or he is gone in summer (and then some can enjoy their I told you so moment)

[Diclonius]

Marcondes plays an underhit pass to Youan, who can easily track back and take it but lets it go out for the throw?

[Keith_M]

Pretty poor display so far.

Only hope is they go down to 10, which is likely...

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Youan and Levitt off at HT, please.

[Hibs90]

You must not go to many of our games if that's your red line.

[Dmas]

Has youan left that to go out cause Newell was down or just too lazy to stretch out a leg?

[Torto7]

I'm away back to the rugby this is utter *****.

[Diclonius]

Newell was down

Ah, fair.

[cubehindthegoal]

all Levit and Newell do is pass it back to the centre half’s.

grim

not one shot at goal yet. At home. In 30 mins.

[Stuart93]

Aye but let him get his own players in first eh

[Hibs90]

**** it get Lennon in for the banter

[Paul1642]

Has youan left that to go out cause Newell was down or just too lazy to stretch out a leg?

My initial reaction was the later but I hadn’t seen Newell was down. Bloody hope that’s the reason because otherwise inexcusable.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Absolutely garbage yet again.

[1875Sean]

Dundee and Killie winning, not looking good for top 6

[Dalkeith Boy]

Yank Youan NOW

[Sparrows tongue]

I'm no going back when he's playing. Pathetic

Unless you’re sitting at a game typing on your phone, I’d suggest that you’re not there today either.

:na na:

[jeffers]

Actually glad I’m missing this. So far it’s a regret the stream started working. Pedantic summed things up perfectly. I really want Monty to succeed but he’s doing himself no favours with these performances.

[HendoDelivered]

Mallan*

[Hibees1973]

This has been absolutely dire so far. Again.

[Unseen work]

I’m not convinced he’ll see out February.

St Mirren, Celtic, Caley, Aberdeen and Dundee our next run of fixtures - can’t see him getting enough out the games to last.

[cubehindthegoal]

You must not go to many of our games if that's your red line.

Most fans will have one player at least that they think in their mind that shouldn’t be in the team .. every single game ..:

[Stuart93]

Honestly I’ve seen some posters saying “I like what Montys trying to do do”

Genuinely, what is he trying to do??

[Diclonius]

I'm not going back until our pass accuracy exceeds the Scottish Premiership median.

[SteveHFC]

Total garbage. Youan is awful as is Jair and Obita

thanks … 😊 I do know and was typo lol

[cabbageandribs1875]

is anyone else at the point of just laughing at how poor our passing actually is




it's a waste of energy getting angry i feel

[B.H.F.C]

This is a disgrace. Players don’t give a ****.

[The Modfather]

I don’t care how unfit Amos & Moriah-Welsh are, we need them to replace Levit & Newell.

Has anyone seen Tavares & Drey Wright in the same room at the same time?
