Team v Queens Park

[Garymcl]

Do we simply go with the same team as Saturday (minus cadden)on the basis of good performance /win ,or do we get more minutes in other players legs as they say

[Donegal Hibby]

Wonder if Youan will be back for this one ?

[MWHIBBIES]

Similar team. Probably have NMW in, and Youan if he's available. On paper the hardest game. Other 2 will be fine to rotate a bit more in.

[B.H.F.C]

Presuming Cadden is unavailable I’d expect

Bursik

Miller
Marv
O’Hora
Obita

NMW
Newell
Campbell

Boyle
Vente
Molotnikov

[sauzee1989]

Don’t see much changing for this one. Can’t see Youan featuring not believing the ill storyline either.

[ancient hibee]

Win the game and then bring on the subs.

[sleeping giant]

Strongest team possible. No messing about.

[04Sauzee]

Strongest team available , win this and we're almost there.

[O'Rourke3]

We followed a 5-0 win with a big turnaround in players last time at this stage and were mince. Some changes yes but not half a team.

Queens Park are miles better than the others in the group. Got to be our strongest team.

[SteveHFC]

Rudi keeps his place for me.

[GreenCastle]

2nd game in 4 days..after a 3 hour trip back… but against a part time team.

Think there will be a few changes in central midfield.

Except a tougher game but 2 or 3 nil win.

[flash]

Elie training today so no excuses for him not to be involved

QP have been full-time since January 2020 and Willie Haughey has pumped a lot of money into the club.
Callum Davidson even has a full-time analyst these days.
Sean Welsh is there and they've just added Zak Rudden.
NMW or Amos in from the start this time and the rest much the same...

Yes but won’t be involved tomorrow, back in for Saturday’s game though.

[supermcginn]

Youan in for Campbell hopefully.

[Brightside]

Which one?

[Coach Jon]

This is the Group decider, winners of this game will win the Group, so must win, therefore strongest possible team.

Sounds like Cadden out and Youan a maybe

[JohnM1875]

SDG called him Elie Yoo-han. Gray out!

[Hibernian Verse]

Megwa in for Cadden for me, other 10 places same as Saturday.

[Donegal Hibby]

Strongest team possible . No messing about. Do wonder if Gray will change the formation for this one ? .

I meant Elgin part time.

I’d go back 4 like we played after Cadden went off with Miller RB and Boyle RW.

He was training today.

In a good way it's going to give Gray a tough decision to make when selecting the team as it would be harsh to drop anyone from the Elgin game .

[ancient hibee]

I think we should get away from the idea that when a team is changed it means someone is dropped. It’s very much a squad game and particularly in these cup games there’ll be changes until the league comes along.

Think you may be right. Guess it will depend on how we think QP will set up as well, they are no mugs.

[GreenCastle]

Queens Park played 3-5-2 at the weekend so we may match up assuming they keep same formation.

Didn’t realise they lost 6-4 to Celtic recently ?!!

[Potty78]

I get what your saying though the whole team played well against Elgin and with the possibility of Youan coming back who do you put him in for ? .

Somebody mentioned Campbell though I don't see that happening, Molotnikov ? , be harsh on the young lad imo .

This is probably the hardest game in the group and I wouldn't be making to many changes , go with your best / inform team for the Queen's game .

Unless Grays going to change formation I'd pretty much stick with the same again ( apart from Cadden ) and start Elie on the bench after his illness .

I was only watching on a tablet on holiday on Saturday, but I thought the shape changed when Cadden got subbed anyway. Started with a back 3 but then moved to a back 4 when NMW came on.

Correct

You right we did change the shape , Gray said we did too post match right enough.

[theonlywayisup]

Youan in for Campbell hopefully.Zero chance of Campbell getting dropped.

And that the players seem happy to do so.

Flexibility rather than sticking rigidly to a shape or formation.

I’m surprised they didn’t change it earlier as it was 3v1 at the back a lot of the time and we didn’t need an extra defender back.

I guess the good thing is Obita / Miller / academy can all play as wing back types or in a back 4.

No Wollacott

[Billy Whizz]

No Wollacott

Or Harbottle from Saturdays squad

[Smartie]

When he was caretaker, David Gray always impressed me by picking teams that made sense.

This is his second one this season that appears to make perfect sense.

Good stuff.

We not scored yet.. #grayoot [emoji2957]

Eerily quiet on the walk down.
