St Johnstone home - build up thread

[GreenCastle]

Hibs now have a 2 week break till we play St Johnstone at home.

Kilmarnock result was frustrating especially with another late goal but there were some positive signs.

Hibs haven’t won a league game yet..been in winning positions twice though.

St Johnstone sit on 3 points with a single win against Killie(0-3!!) but have lost last 2 league games against Motherwell and Dundee Utd.

St Johnstone won the least league game at Easter Road 2-1.

They also are a bit of a bogey team for Hibs in recent years.

Craig Levein obviously the manager.

A win for Hibs would take them above St Johnstone.

Hopefully see Hoilett and Youan back to add some speed and quality out wide but obviously both lacking match fitness so probably on bench?

Does Bowie start ? Who drops out ?

Do we keep the same back 5 that have shipped 11 goals in 5 games ?

Another interesting game but really a game we should be winning to get the season going - no excuses as we have a 2 week break to work on fitness and other areas of the game.

[Unseen work]

Bowie and Youan in for Boyle and Rudi.

A must win game, need to get points on the table, confidence up and get rid of the fact we’ve not won a game yet.

[B.H.F.C]

Obita must be dropped, other than that it’s the same defence and midfield as yesterday.

Need to get Bowie in the team and place on the left also up for grabs.

We need to win this game, nothing else is good enough. If we can’t win this then we really are in trouble and you’re wondering where a win comes from.

[Spike Mandela]

I know it’s ridiculous to suggest it’s a ‘must win’ this early in the season but I feel if we don’t win it, preferably comfortably, then things may get quite toxic and uncomfortable for SDG and the players.

[SHODAN]

Must.

Win.

Surely every game is a must win that's what these guys get paid for.

[Spike Mandela]

Yeah, sure, but the longer we go without a win the pressure, the criticism all builds and confidence wains. We need to win and we need to keep on winning more than we lose.

[worcesterhibby]

What we “must” try and achieve this season is a top 6 finish as a minimum. That will show some progression over the coarse of the season. A win against St Johnstone will certainly relieve some pressure and help towards that objective, but a draw or even a loss won’t make it impossible, just a bit harder.

we have brought in 11 new players. On Saturday we fielded 7 players who had never played for our first team before this season, plus Rudi who I think had made about 3 sub appearances prior to this season and Triantis who only played a dozen times last season and hasn’t been part of the squad till Friday.

it will take time for them to become a fully cohesive unit, but the signs are good. Marvin was solid yesterday and to be honest apart from his issues with pass back has looked a very solid defender since he arrived. O’Hora is a leader and has been mostly excellent. I personally think Lewis Miller has been very good so far this season.. it’s only Jordan Obita who is struggling a bit in the back line right now.

midfield looks much stronger with Kwon on board and Triantis was very good yesterday. Rudi was quiet yesterday but has been on form and I still believe NMW, Amos and Nicky Cadden have something to offer. Both Bowie and Myko are upgrades. When Hoilett and Youan is fit we have plenty of options.

the only real position I’m still concerned about it the goalkeeper, and he needs to play 20 games before we are in a position to judge.

we will be fourth or fifth this season. We will do more business in January and strengthen further. we need to stop panicking as a support and give Malky and SDG a chance to build a new team.

Of course they should be, but not the reality of life at Hibernian right now

I love this idea. It will be really disappointing for me if it doesn't bear fruit. Each of them individually is a real handful. Elie is the most mercurial tending to hit higher highs and lower lows but I am so eager to see them play together but working with each other, not going solo, so I hope they are getting some practice in. Passing to each other, anticipating positioning etc needs to be instinctive.

[flash]

Presumably every game is a "must win" for our opponents too which makes things a bit awkward.

[Since452]

3 points a must. Anything less and it will confirm my belief that we're in a relegation battle this season. We can't keep chucking leads. Hopefully the first win of the season.

[Liam89]

No chance we will be near a relegation battle.

[Up-the-slope]

biggest concern is how Boyle has dropped off form badly - still having some positive contributions but over all he currently looks well over other side from his peak. Previously his effort and desire to help out over all team would not have been in question.


hope this 2 weeks away from club football he can find whats missing - if not we have when injuries clear up options that should be used in front of him starting

[basehibby]

Very much hoping the changes in manager and personnel and resultant change of approach will result in a long overdue humping for these awkward buggers from Perth.

[Tambo]

Will be my first trip up of the season, looking forward to it.

Must win game again for me.

[LunasBoots]

It's a winnable game so really is a must win, St Johnstone are struggling at the moment and a team i expect will be right down near the relegation spots, let's not give away any silly goals and we'll be fine.

[zitelli62]

Big uche will probably be fit for them so it will be physical.

[CentreForward]

Think Sidibeh will still be on a ban for this match which is good news.

[Broken Gnome]

Big uche will probably be fit for them so it will be physical.

DON'T EVEN.

This is a Hibs Kids game. Their wee pure eyes don't need to be tainted by that Jambo lump and his inevitable 87th minute equaliser.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Levein will have sat them down today and explained to them about the importance of beating Hibs, he will make sure they play in their horrible Mar*on strips as well

[GreenCastle]

Big uche will probably be fit for them so it will be physical.

He’s been out injured for ages..is he back?!!

[ian cruise]

I don't think we're in a relegation battle, but I suspect it's going to be a bit of a slog until things click as we've so many new players that we're fitting in alongside bringing a new coaching style and (hopefully) a different tactical approach to games. Sometimes these things can fall in to places quickly but it shows we're not in that situation, though there's signs of promise with every game we play.

A good old classic Hibs transitional season ahead. I think we'll end the season playing well and winning more games than we lose/draw but I also fear it might be a bit too late for it to make a difference regarding European places. Fingers crossed I'm wrong on the last point.

I said we'd beat killie 3 nil so I'm not even guessing the St Johnstone result.

[Ronniekirk]

I think Rudi needs some time out. I’d play Myko at the CF with Bowie one side, Youan/Hoilett a half each or until one burns out early 2nd half. We need to start getting all our best players on the pitch, even for 45mins. Appreciate it’s only a handful of games into the season but this really needs to be 3 points for confidence levels more than anything.

Still to get mine, definitely do it after work today, not sure if stick to the East or give the FFL a go.

Looking forward to this one. Full squad it would appear so time to get things moving in a positive direction.

[Callum_62]

I see they are not allowing you to choose your seat for the BTG section

They are still allowing to buy tickets via the hospitality section but seats are allocated automatically

Seems a bit silly as in sure sometimes ST holders will want to go with folk that can sit right next to it near them atleast

Wonder why they have taken away that functionality

Boyle and Miller training with Australia going by Hibs social media - game tomorrow - then assume they will fly back next day 11th ? Not giving much recovery time before Saturday.

Yep.

Hopefully we see Bowie starting and at least a decent run out got Youan and Hoilett.

Those 3 being fit and contributing along with Triantis and Kwon in our midfield will make a big difference……we hope 🤣

He’s not played since Bolton’s first game of the season but not seen anything about him being injured. I’d have him in at left back on Saturday but think we’ll continue with Obita (who really needs taken out of the team).

[Saint Hibee]

Do we know if Youan is fully recovered yet?

[Garymcl]

Looking forward to Saturday really should win this and start our season ,looks like a really good crowd for this ,let’s try and get as many seats sold and get right behind the team “where’s the dot count master “ bring on Saturday and hibby victory :thumbsup:

But Gray has now had time to work with the players and we do now need to start winning games for confidence of everyone concerned

Hibs kids area is I believe the 2 nearest sections in the East to the FF.

[Carheenlea]

Hibs kids area is I believe the 2 nearest sections in the East to the FF.

I moved my seat in West to get seats together with my daughter and we were given seats down the other end of East. Looking at the seat plan I’m kind of thinking we are in the but where a lot of folk stand!

The two sections you mention are not showing a lot of seats together so maybe it’s just a case of grouping where they can.

I thought the South might have been reintroduced for Hibs Kids games but then again, sitting close to away fans is probably not the best environment for families.

We’ll find out on Saturday. He is nursing a hamstring injury from last season, hence the reason he’s not been starting

Nothing on this that says he’s injured. Game on Scotland YouTube channel

So was Bowie carrying this injury into the Scotland u21 game ?!

Playing 56 mins against a decent Spain team then flying / training then starting tonight maybe was the best move only 4 days later.

If it’s hamstring again then probably out for a good few weeks - could easily be out next 4games and even miss the Derby.

I hadn’t realised how little football I now watch or read about, outside of Hibs/this website, until I saw the lineup and subs. I had only heard of about 5 or 6 of them and only about 3 or 4 I could say who they play for. Changed days and a sign of getting old!

Apart from Bowie the only player there I’ve heard of is Lennon Miller, but couldn’t tell you who he plays for. I’d have to admit that I hadn’t heard of Bowie prior to him signing for us!

I think also with the U21s it's a reflection of more talent heading down south early. So these guys may be out on loan or playing academy football and we've never heard of them.

Probably not many knew of Bowie before we signed him either.

Going to be 3 or 4 players not even making the squad tomorrow which hasn't happened in recent times.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Obita hasn’t been great, but I don’t think he warrants getting dropped just yet.
His performances this season have been really poor from what I've seen and last time out cost us a result. I don't think he's become a bad player overnight but DG keeps talking about setting standards so the line needs drawn somewhere. But he is not the only one to have made errors and could be a bit down to match sharpness for him and two weeks will have done him good will be interesting to see.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Looking forward to tomorrow now.

What's the bets on a nail biting last 10mins retreating deeper and clinging onto a result.

Ideally he'll play, do well and we'll have competition for the spot. If Davy drops him and Iredale isn't overly convincing, then we'll have to choose the least bad.

This time of season is the worst by far. Just as you start getting into it there's another break. Certain that league cup quarters used to be midweek traditionally but now its another weekend due to europe presumably? Seems to get worse every year.

Or the full house v Saints a couple of seasons back when we fluffed our lines...it's the sort of weekend where we fail to win and Hearts get a wholly unexpected result at Celtic.

Fortunately Saints are a poorer team than they were then and Celtic look stronger than they've been for a while so fingers crossed for a Hibs win and a gubbing for the yams.

It does seem though that with almost everything player we sign, we bicker about whether their recent injury record suggests they’re injury prone.

Then they miss chunks of seasons through injury.
