Hibs vs St Johnstone

[silverhibee]

No matter how we need to get the 3 points today, will the manager make any changes from the huns game.

Very windy outside which might spoil the game a bit.

Team news shortly.

C’mon the Hibs. :flag:

2-1 Hibs.

[HendoDelivered]

Got a feeling it will be a scrappy game with only 1 or 2 goals in it if we are lucky. St J are boggin to play against

[PatHead]

2-1 Hibs.

Already. Never knew it was an early kickoff

[SteveHFC]

Boyle in for Youan and Campbell on bench.

[Centre Hawf]

I don't care how it's done today, just need those three points and we roll into next week with top 6 alive and kicking still.

[Allant1981]

Personally wouldn't have started Boyle today, I'd have kept youan playing

[Saint Hibee]

Boyle in for Youan and Campbell on bench.

Is this a prediction or the actual team? If the latter, I'm a bit surprised as Youan's been doing really well of late.

[JohnM1875]

Actual team and I agree with you

[wandering_hibee]

Youan shouldn't have been dropped, I really don't understand that.
Hopefully it won't matter and we'll still win

[Smartie]

I can see it either way with Boyle and Youan, both have pluses and minuses and whichever you go for you’ve still got a big threat to come off the bench.

And for all Triantis has been doing well, I really rate NMW and would have liked to have seen him come back into the side.

Really don’t think today is a game we need to be playing Triantis tbh.

Disappointed with that decision.

[Scooter]

Feel the Youan a little here. He's been playing well

[Exuberance1875]

NMW should be starting, gives us real energy in the middle of the park.

Harsh also on Youan but we cannot start all 3 of them in my opinion. Surely he comes on before the raffle winner Jair today though?

[J-C]

I think NM has his favourites, he's worked with Triantis before so trusts him.

[Since452]

A defender in midfield over an actual midfielder is interesting

[JohnM1875]

I think NM has his favourites, he's worked with Triantis before so trusts him.

And Triantis has played well since moving into midfield so probably doesn't deserve dropped.

I don't like playing loan players over our actual players if they aren't miles better though. Don't think Triantis is better than NMW.

[B.H.F.C]

Really don’t think today is a game we need to be playing Triantis tbh.

Disappointed with that decision.

Triantis is better on the ball than NMW so no issues in that sense.

I’d have played NMW though, think we could be doing with some energy today as St Johnstone will just be slow and horrible to play against.

[MWHIBBIES]

Really don’t think today is a game we need to be playing Triantis tbh.

Disappointed with that decision.
Why not? Do st Johnstone, who desperately need to win, not plan on attacking?

CDM is vital for controlling a game, which is vital for winning a game.

[Centre Hawf]

I actually don't mind Triantis in midfield at the moment. I'd have maybe liked Moriah-Welsh as I think he might also contribute to our attacking phases of play more, but Triantis hasn't really put a foot wrong in midfield for us and he gives us an additional aerial threat in both boxes.

[tamig]

A defender in midfield over an actual midfielder is interesting

Is that a dig? Triantis - who I’m assuming you’re referring to - has done well and deserves his place.

I’d be surprised if we’re willing to take a financial hit on him after 1 season. We wouldn’t make our money back.

He’s looked good, not scored enough goals but on the whole looks a very capable player. I can’t see why we’d be looking to shift him unless we’d get our money back.

First goal for Hibs will be a goal kick by the St Johnstone keeper that the wind will blow back over his head and into the net.

Hope not, but wouldn't be surprised. I like Vente.

Expecting a major overhaul in the summer. Going to be a massive turnover in players.

[CMac1988]

Let's go Hibs! Looks just as windy as through west Lothian way.

[Hibees1973]

Yeah, going to be a lottery. Game might not even finish if the ball does not remain stationery at dead ball situations.

Not the conditions I would have wanted against this lot in what is a must win game.

[Centre Hawf]

I don’t believe Monty really rates him.

I think the use of him has been baffling since Monty came in.

Still reckon we would be better off overall if we just played Vente up top as a striker consistently over the course of this season as opposed to the weird number 10/false 9 role he had around winter time or Boyle up top instead of him.

[1875Sean]

How much rubbish is on the pitch and I am not talking about St Johnstone

[scm70nyd1973]

More recently we have been passing it around better on the deck so in theory we should be better than them today - in the wind and if we keep it down , having said that Potter will get his team to hoof it in to the air as much as possible.

We've got a good amount of pace in this team but you wouldn't know it watching this. Only player running with the ball is Sidibeh. Appreciate it's on the counter but every opportunity we've had to counter we've slowed the ball down and played back and/or square. Weather doesn't help but this is *****.

Fish is having a nightmare here.

He's not been that good this season.

The players are all so very static, so little movement when our defenders and midfielders have the ball, all very easy for a stubborn St Johnstone defence.

[Smartie]

Conditions really making this tough but it’s been the traditionally poor opening 40 minutes from Hibs.

A couple of decent chances for Obita to maybe make something happen in the past 5 mins that he’s spurned with poor final balls.

Triantis and Newell have had a couple of occasions where they’ve got in the way of each other and appeared to be falling over one another to slow it down when the opposite was required.

That said, we’ve maybe looked a bit better last 5.

[MikeyS]

Yeah looking at the live table - Hibs are in 7th.

So the goal difference would have to change and Hibs would have to beat Well.

I'm bored sick of the "traditionally poor opening" no matter what happens in the second half I want more than potentially 45 minutes of excitement in a game, to have Boyle, Maolida, Le Fondre and Emiliano playing and being this boring takes some going

[Stairway 2 7]

As much as I've loved them compared to the dross at the beginning of the season, I'd not play the loan players in the bottom 6 unless they are willing to stay. We need to see if the other players are worth keeping before booting them

[Davy Mac]

Honking first half, painfully slow and lack ideas.

[Bobo]

Lame 45 minutes with absolutely no tempo in a game we must win?!!

Hopeless in everything we've done so far, don't understand the manager and player logic in the lack of desire to play the ****in ball forward!

Monty cannot motivate Hibs players for big games

[jeffers]

Absolute garbage. I really don’t want to watch another season of Montyball, all too often it’s like this.

[The Captain....]

Didn't enjoy that first half at all. Boring as ****.

Should be 1-0 to Hibs but the ref and VAR had other ideas.

[Tambo]

Some good ideas in the final third, just no end product or conviction.

Mon Hibs let's get the win second half.

Mon Hibs let's get the win second half.I think it's our forward players that have generally let us down this half to be honest

Ponderous and lacking movement across the whole front line

Monty is a nice guy but so was Pat Fenlon and his football was mince aswell. We can't leave him in charge next season it's torture.

Sadly, I'm starting to feel the same.

[Dmas]

As much as I've loved them compared to the dross at the beginning of the season, I'd not play the loan players in the bottom 6 unless they are willing to stay. We need to see if the other players are worth keeping before booting them

god no not again, if we've not our answer to that question by now we really are in trouble

[CMac1988]

The goal difference realistically couldn’t go in their favour if they also lose the next 2.

Yeah that's a fair point. Motherwell would have to leather us.

I was saying last week that getting 6 points should be enough as I expected St Mirren to get beat by both Hearts and Rangers.

Need to find a way to score here...

Are the players not capable of motivating themselves for big games? Monty must contribute but he’s not the one on the pitch.

[MWHIBBIES]

Marcondes interested. ALF trying. Rest poor.

I thought Maolida had a decent half and looked our most dangerous threat.

[Davy Mac]

I don't know, its so predictable and to be honest, I worry that NM doesn't have the nous to shake things up.

[One Day Soon]

This has been really ****. And it’s a must win game. Boring to watch, ponderous, no urgency and little to suggest he’d fired them up to go all out for the win. I wonder what the excuses will be after this game if we don’t win it. Too much wind? Too much sun? Too much litter?

[Paulie Walnuts]

I’d sub Maolida purely for the shorts and socks.

[dmc1875]

Marcondes interested. ALF trying. Rest poor.

Marcondes has hardly been in the game…

Maolida is a class above everyone else on the pitch and only one looking dangerous. (Not saying much)

Youan needs to be on the pitch.

[Callum_62]

I thought Maolida had a decent half and looked our most dangerous threat.Agree - first 15 mins I think I even said he's looking unplayable

But we or he or the team as a whole haven't found the pockets of space quick enough

Away at the end of the season

[JimBHibees]

Agree looked the only player capable. Made no sense not playing the ball into the channel against the wind. Conditions are very poor but so were we. Need to lift the intensity and get some shots in.

[Mikey_1875]

Just give the ball to Maolida and let him try skin the team himself. Conditions playing a part but it hasn’t been great. Any positions we do get into the final ball isn’t there

[jeffers]

I’ve not used my season ticket in weeks, renewed for next but I’ve little appetite to watch any more of this. I’m obviously seeing something different from those who say they enjoy watching us under him. Seems like a nice guy, I’m sorry it’s not worked out, but he just isn’t showing enough to suggest he’s the long term answer. Even if we turn up like Man City in the second half performances like the first half today have happened too often imo.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'm so happy seeing this new and improved Hibs team under Montgomery, it's way better than Johnson's garbage.

[Tambo]

Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Yep, hopefully an early goal second half or we can create something in the last 20.

Would also bring Youan on for Boyle.

[wookie70]

Good first 15 mins and very poor thereafter. Marcondes has been very poor again. Surely the players realise this is a must win. Pace of game for the last 25 mins has been like a training game

[Since452]

He needs to drop his hard on for Triantis in midfield and bring on NMW. We're at home to St Johnsone FFS why do we need a defender in midfield in a must win game?

[Callum_62]

We need a win here - reckon if st mirren lose they will be the team to catch next week

The 2 points dropped at Ross county proving vital

[scm70nyd1973]

Well all I can say is that things can turn round PDQ but in these conditions if you get your nose in front it’s a big advantage as I don’t think there will be too many goals today - all nil-nil or one-nil games perhaps - I hope ours is a one-nil 🙏

Agree.

Each to their own and all that but this Hibs team is brutal and there’s nothing enjoyable about watching them imo. Appreciate others think differently, but I don’t see it at all.

[HendoDelivered]

It seems a lot of folk know for a fact Monty wont be here next season.

[Callum_62]

Agree.

Yeah, probably fair.

Maybe goes to show how boring the rest of our play is (to me at least) that even a good amount of goals isn’t enough to make it exciting.

Also just seen your edit - didn’t take it as a dig :aok:

[Chorley Hibee]

Let's hope it's true.

[SteveHFC]

Fish off for Welsh.

[Carheenlea]

Need to inject a bit of pace and urgency to the proceedings.

So many times it’s 11 St Johnstone players behind the ball and trying to tippy tap out way through that is nigh on impossible. Maybe with the wind at our backs (I think, as it’s hard to tell) we can see some better attacking play and get the breakthrough.

NMS on for Fish so a bit of tenacity from the offset I hope.

[SHODAN]

Oh no, Triantis at the back!

[HH81]

Big half for Hibs and Monty. Need to win

[Paulie Walnuts]

Fish off for Welsh.

Don’t have an issue with that sub. Fish has been brutal and we need NMW on.

[jeffers]

Agree.

When it clicks it’s good, too often it’s like the first half today.

[Chorley Hibee]

Think about how little contact has been required for Celtic, Hearts and Rangers to be awarded penalties against us, and then ask yourself why this isn't a penalty?

Cheating.
