“Harry McKirdy won’t be risked for this afternoon’s friendly as the coaching staff continue to manage his load following the increase to his training schedule this pre-season.

[RIP]

Newell benched 😍

Three of our first picks rested for the first jalf. Cadden, Youan and Newell. On Saturday we played two completely different 11s in each half. That's what friendlies are for.

[GreenCastle]

Should be winning this quite comfortably against a team in German 4th tier.

SDG out ! 😀

Nice to see Rudi get some gametime.

Wouldn't count on that to be honest. German football alot higher quality than most. They also have decent quality throughout the leagues. I'd say it's probably Scottish champ standard who we aren't going to go and put 4 or 5 past regularly.

Average attendance of 13k as well, impressive for the league.

What happened to Duisburg? Noted they were a Bundesliga club as recently as season 2007/08, now in the regionalised 4th tier!

I remember being at the game against Rot-Weiss Essen in 2005 and we turned them over 3-0 and it was going on 10. I think they were/are a league or 2 above today's opponents. Admittedly we had a far more impressive team then but we were streets ahead of them.

I've not got any expectation of us dishing out a hammering today because it's a fitness exercise but we should be well ahead of them in terms of quality.

Went bust a couple of times since then.

Must be half time

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

It is, score on FotMob

[Unseen work]

We really need Vente to get a couple of goals in these games, get his confidence up for start of season

Vente only scored 2 goals in 2024.

He’s definitely needing to add to help him and the team.

Mad when you look at his previous stats of.:

21 in 38
23 in 40

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

2nd half starts

The 2nd string all coming on at half time.

Good weekend that.

Did the game finish at half time 👀

[greenlex]

Still 1-0 the cabbage. 88 mins

[Tully]

Ft 1 0

[greenlex]

Finishes 1-0.

[Iain G]

Clean sheet!

[Donegal Hibby]

1-0 . Another clean sheet . Hopefully a habit we get use to doing 🤞

[Since452]

SDG only does winning :greengrin

[Paul1642]

The main take away for me today is the new centre half’s starting together and coming away with a clean sheet. Regardless of the opponents quality (which I don’t know) that’s a good start.

Same as the weekend, don’t care if it’s a friendly against poor opposition or whatever. Last year we started pre season by chucking goals in and it was just a sign of things to come. We’ve started right so far which is a good thing.

25 is a realistic target. 15 from open play in the league, 5 from pens (assuming he's on pens) and 5 in the League Cup group stage and other cup games.

Boyle as El Capitan is interesting, not wanting to bring up the whole Newell debate here but he is the obvious choice afterwards.

EXACTLY!!! Last 2 years Pre seasons have been a shambles with terrible results - SDG has steadided the ship already,.

[CentreForward]

Daft question but who is that Hibs player in the photo at the top of the report on the game? Number 35 on his shorts. For some reason can’t recognise him!

Great mentioned being flexible so will probably change.

We changed quite a bit in the Stubbs season going from 4-4-2 diamond (cup winning set up) to 4-4-2 normal and sometimes a 3-5-2 when Marv played.

We will see changes

Sounds like we dominated but failed to put away our chances,have just seen the goal, Campbell getting on the end of a Boyle free kick with a nice header.

[CMac1988]

Given his experience you'd like to think so. That said I think Obita should be the vice captain.

[Scooter]

Highlights looked good. Vente goal looked onside

[SerenityGreen]

Just watched. Vents goal looked well onside. Good, clever finish as well. I,m deffo in the Vente camp, personally think he is a quality player and will score goals for fun, used correctly.

[Since452]

Ventes goal was never offside lol. Still, 3 points and down the road.

[04Sauzee]

Very short highlights and I get they show you what you want to see but I was impressed with the pressing Amos was doing.

I could watch this kind of content all day btw 😁

[Unseen work]

Really hope we keep Amos fit.

Looks really sharp.

Good on the ball and good at pressing to win it back.

He uploads alot of good content on tik tok of his recovery etc and he’s looking fit and strong!

[Hibernian Verse]

Vente well onside I'm giving him it. Goal 1 of 40 in all comps.

[CockneyRebel]

Highlights looked good. Vente goal looked onside

Where can you see these highlights?

A fit Amos is a level above any of our other midfielders. Hopefully we manage him properly as it’s going to be a long season.

At the game against Edinburgh I thought the pressing to win the ball back quickly and high up the park was obvious. Was reading comments from Gray after the game yesterday and he said that the majority of the work they’ve been doing this week is out of possession stuff. I think we will be miles better defensively this year.

Perhaps we are eventually getting the high press we've been promised from the last few managers?

[SaulGoodman]

3 points? Are you daft?

It was a cup game ffs.

[California-Hibs]

Aye about 2 yards onside.

That's why we need Var in friendlies! Been saying it for ages...

[B.H.F.C]

Maybe. Interesting that this one just seems to be going about his business and doing some obvious things, rather than talking about what he’s looking to do.

[Tambo]

Difficult to judge a player's performance from the little highlights we got, Rudi looked to have a few good moments, have a feeling he will feature alot more this season.

[JohnM1875]

Anyone know if the PAOK game will be streamed? Noticed this one isn’t behind closed doors.

Edit:

‘The Club will potentially be able to stream the game live on YouTube, with more details to be released in due course.’

Fingers crossed.

[Tambo]

A good little watch on YouTube with Megwa and Rudi, have been a bit of fan of Molitnikov for a few years with high hopes for him.

Joined Hibs in 2016 at the age of 10(makes most of us feel old) and also a plus he's a lochend boy.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Was there any obvious evidence of a change with Vente and him staying further forward not dropping so deep to get involved?

Hibs ruined our Lochend team back then. Eddie May it was that pinched them all. 5 went to hibs and 2 went to hearts. That team would have won the Scottish cup for years if it had stayed together.

In the edin city game he was still dropping. But he didn’t have to do it as much. Similar to when we brought in a 10 last season and it didn’t happen as much.
