Team v St Johnstone

[Donegal Hibby]

I went with this though was close to putting NMW in ...

Marshall.

Cadden .
Fish.
Rocky.
Obita.

Triantis.
Newell.
Marcondes.

Boyle.
Maolida.
Youan .

[easty]

Yeah, looks about right to me.

Really hoping Marcondes has a good game this weekend, been pretty poor last few in my opinion.

[04Sauzee]

Could be played in fairly windy conditions.

[B.H.F.C]

I wouldn’t change as much in the front three to get Boyle back in.

Youan and Maolida have both been contributing from the wide positions, assists for Youan and goals for Maolida so don’t see any need to change. Le Fondre was pretty quiet at Ibrox but was superb in the game and a half before that against a comparable level of opposition to St Johnstone.

Only other decision is whether to possibly bring Moriah-Welsh in for Triantis.

[Highwayman]

If Miller’s fit I’d start with.

Marshall

Miller Fish Bushiri Obita

Cadden Moriah-Welsh Newell Marcondes

Boyle Maolida

I think i would keep Alf in also allowing Boyler to come on and make an impact against tiring defenders.

[Brightside]

I assume it will be


Marshall

Cadden Bushiri Fish Obita

Moriah-Welsh Newell

Marcondes

Youan ALF. Maolida


But I wouldn't be surprised if Fish was dropped.

Think Triantis will keep his position

[Brightside]

Just don't think we need the static DM role against St J....but you may be right as NM may want to play safe.

I wouldn't have Boyle starting personally actually feel he's been poor for a while now.

Hard to argue against that team other than Le Fondre replacing Boyle.
The craft of Youan, Le Fondre and Maolida ripped the Livingston backline to pieces in 30 minutes and we need to take the same approach on Saturday.
Playing Triantes allows freedon for Obita and Cadden to bomb on and Saturday is all about winning and goal difference.

Biggest danger to Hibs is probably the aerial ability of Nicky Clark who has put us to the sword before.
Weather forecast during gametime is 50 mph winds which won't help with the silky football.

[Allant1981]

Can't see it changing much again this week

[JohnM1875]

Wouldn't be dropping ALF and don't think he will. Probably be same starting XI for the third match in a row, which I'm fine with.

Yes and with our defence Levein will have told them to keep bombing the ball in from wide.

if we start trying to score from minute one rather than turning up the dial after an hour we should at least be able to outscore them.
It going to be a nail biting 9 and a bit days for all Hibs lovers.

[Jim Herriot]

Apparently Josh Campbell has been reinterrogated back into training. Wonder what he was asked?

Might be an idea to let him take one if we get one just outside their box though seeing as he's so accurate 😂

I agree with you completely. It's a potential must win for the top 6. Not the game to play it safe.

We're at home to a side that will give us loads of the ball. We need creative players in the centre of the pitch and I don't think Triantis does enough of that when we have someone like Moriah-Welsh to come in.

We need to go for it imo and get players in that can win the game for us.

Moriah-welsh isn't really that creative though is he?

He’s our pinball wizard that’s for sure 😁
