Hibs vs St Johnstone.

[silverhibee]

Team news will be up in the next 15 minutes, any changes expected.

Just a win will do today.

C’mon the Hibs. :flag:

[JohnM1875]

Like the look of that. 433 I reckon, Youan off the right and a midfield three of Kwon, Triantis and Rudi.

Also, is Iredale injured or just ****?

[Unseen work]

A lot of changes

……………Bursik

Cadden Ekpiteta O’Hora Obita

…….Triantis….Kwon….

Youan….Rudi…….Cadden

……………Myk…,,

[Saint Hibee]

Is Miller injured or dropped? Or just recovering from international duty?

[Saint Hibee]

And what’s up with Newell?

[Moulin Yarns]

Is Miller injured or dropped? Or just recovering from international duty?

On the bench, probably because of the travel.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

And what’s up with Newell?

Yeah was thinking the same?

[hfc-1875]

Like the look of that team, decent options on the bench too. Very confident of a win today, 3-0.

[Stuart93]

Newell injured?

Iredale missing?

About time Boyle was dropped

[IanM]

Yeah was thinking the same?

Someone on the other thread called out an injury a bit earlier - gives everyone a chance to stake a consistent place

[Smartie]

Not sure how much I fancy the front 4, relative to what we could have with everyone fit.

Strong looking bench though, with potential to improve things if we are finding it tough going in the final third.

I actually like Youan more on the right, which it looks like he’ll be doing here. A fit Youan playing for a move could be a frightening prospect.

It’ll be very interesting to see what a Newell-less Hibs looks like. I think we’ll miss the set pieces from him and Boyle today.

[neil7908]

A lot of changes

……………Bursik

Cadden Ekpiteta O’Hora Obita

…….Triantis….Kwon….

Youan….Rudi…….Cadden

……………Myk…,,

Yeah I think this is likely to be it rather than an proper 433.

[Smartie]

Yeah I think this is likely to be it rather than an proper 433.

There’s actually a pretty tasty looking 352 in there… with Obita on the left of a back 3, the Caddens playing WB and Rudi supporting the pair of Youan and Myko up front.

I think it will be the 4231 thing but I’d be playing it 352.

[Since452]

Happy Boyle dropped to the bench. Good impact player to have later in the game though.

[Stuart93]

Hope Obita cuts out the nonsense today as well

[CMac1988]

Newell has been carrying an niggle for a while I believe. With some decent competition and actual capable football players maybe now's the time to give him a rest if it's flaring up?

People wanted a vocal captain and it doesn't get much more vocal that O'Hora. Part of a defence that looked good preseason but has flattered to deceive since. Let's see if he can lead by example and we can go about trying to get a clean sheet.

[Greenio]

Lots in this...

Good to see Yohan back

Newell? Read someone say hernia opp - no idea if true

Miller, will be the knee/travel

Boyle dropped - what everyone was asking for

No Gayle? Not ready yet?



Like it. Hibs 2-0.

Yohan and Triantis

[Pretty Boy]

I'm intrigued to see how we go without Newell. A lot of the blame for our woes in recent times has been laid at his door, by myself on occasion, whilst others have said he is rhe least of our problems so it will be interesting to see if we see any notable improvement today. Obviously one game isn't definitive evidence either way but still worth noting.

[Tambo]

Mon the Hibs, first 3 points of the season.

It is a hernia. Had an operation and it all depends how it heals how long it will take. Anything up to 8 weeks but probably nearer 2.

[Hibees1973]

Will be interesting to see our approach today.

Gray clearly binned the building from the back against Kilmarnock as we have been unable to do this, so resorted to the hoof. That was away at Killie on a dodgy surface.

Wonder what we will do today.

Gray is clearly very patient in staying with Obita or is it he doesn't have anyone else available/ready for left back.

Dont think Obita warrants as much criticism hes been getting (on here at least) On his day he can be very good. Needs to get forward more, thats where he plays best. Hopefully the team will allow for that to happen

[Stuart93]

It has been warranted to be honest he’s had a very poor start to the season.

Certainly capable of a lot more & hopefully the couple weeks break has done him good

[Donegal Hibby]

Glad to see O’Hora being made the captain in Newells absence ,ideal choice.

[wookie70]

The pitch looks great. Watching warmup and Triantis looks excellent in those circles with two defenders drills. First time balls along the carpet zipped right to the target. I think having two players who are comfortable sitting, can make tackles but also play and get up the park will make us so much better. Youan will have a bit more freedom which should suit him too

[Silky]

And what’s up with Newell?

Gray's been reading this site and realised that Newell is crap, so decided to drop him to see how we get on. The customer is always right after all!!

[Halifaxhibby]

Yeah was thinking the same?

He’s p1sh…..SDG said he’d drop players that don’t perform…..

Tom English is hilarious on bbc jambo….absolute clown.

His start to the season is no worse than Bursik or Ekpiteta. (Admittedly setting the bar low).

[Halifaxhibby]

Absolutely , sick of hibs being too charitable….time to be hard and ruthless. With underperforming players and get us back to where we should be….

[Greenio]

Agree hes not been performing to the level he can. But that level is there at least.

Im well up for this game! Listening to Marv there on HibsTV got me right in the mood! Lets do this!

It's about balance.

We have been shipping loads of goals which is why Gray has gone with a more pragmatic approach with 2 defensive midfielders.

Youan might just turn whats left or my darker hair grey, by the end of today.

[Greenio]

Ruthless as in dropping the payers that scored last game? Dropping Newall is not DG's strategy. Nor should it be

Youan might just turn whats left or my darker hair grey, by the end of today. I usually feel the same about Youan but I always think you can have one player who is there for magic and goals. That is what we have today and everyone else is capable when we don't have the ball. Get the Grecian 2000 on and let Elie make you smile. Could be back with a point to prove and the best way to get a good move is to tear it up

[HH81]

Please win today Hibs.

[Halifaxhibby]

st johnstone not wearing their hearts strips today

[Rumble de Thump]

According to Allan Preston, we don't have competition for places because Hoilett and Gayle will leave at the end of the season. I don't think he'll be getting a call from Mensa anytime soon.

[HarpOnHibee]

KO delayed so a St Johnstone player can change his socks. :rolleyes:

It just shows the incompetence of our officials, can’t even get the pre match checks right.

Unlucky from Hibs, good start so far. :greengrin

Cadden should have hit the target there.

I don't think many of us envisaged a couple of 34 years+ loan forward players being signed to fill gaps in the squad.

Neither of them are loan signings

[Pretty Boy]

One decent move and Cadden should have done better. It's been a bit disjointed that apart though. Probably not unexpected as there's a few players well short of match fitness involved.

[Hibees1973]

Marv nearly caught out

But to be fair none of our forwards are showing for the ball.

Very slow start.

[Rumble de Thump]

I don't think many people are judging how competitive our squad is now based on what will happen when the season is over.

[The Modfather]

This is garbage

Early days, both in the season and this game, however we look a workmanlike team. Indistinguishable from all the other dross IMO.

[Lago]

Just once a Hibs player will take the ball with his back to goal and turn and move towards opposing goal, instead ball played backwards, and repeat.
Pretty low key fare so far.

[silverhibee]

This is not good viewing, all St Js right now.

[blackpoolhibs]

We are so poor, pedestrian as usual.

[J-C]

Too many misplaced passes and poor touches, need to settle down more.

Starting to feel like the usual strugglefest where they'll steal a goal from nothing in a game devoid of quality.

[Hibees1973]

Can't even do the basis with this lot.

Pass, move and zero creativity.

Made it so easy for St Johnstone to settle into the game.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

St J under no pressure whatsoever. They look like they’re enjoying themselves.

[1875M]

Still don’t know what our attacking plan is. Said it against Dundee, some players look like they’re making it up. This St J team are bang average, won’t look great if we don’t get 3 points here.

[Pretty Boy]

2 short corners, twice we looked at a loss as to who was supposed to be going out and cover it. You need 2, surely that's coached and instructed pre match?

[Hibees1973]

Boooos started, not 30 mins in.

[blackpoolhibs]

Your right so bad I've stopped watching.

You cant even say we are the better side, nothing between these 2 crap teams. :rolleyes:

This is awful. Gray doesn’t seem to be able to send out a team with any enthusiasm.

[cabbageandribs1875]

:singing: we're supposed to be at home

[Vault Boy]

Really crap so far

[Phil MaGlass]

If we dont get a result today I think Gray will be out the door before end of September never mind October,it cant go on like this for much longer.

[Murphys Touch]

Anyone thinks we even have the attitude to have a successful season then you are sorely mistaken

On and off the park btw

Finally some football. Decent break leading to a Kwon shot that has the keeper rooted. Just wide.

Spent their money well over the Summer and it looks like they've done well with their managerial appointment too.

Stop overreacting.

This just not good enough. I’ll take a win in any fashion right now. This is very poor. We are the home team. We should be showing much more going forward. Boyle for Youhan and Hoilet for Cadden at half time.

[J-C]

With the big turn over of players, it looks like they're struggling to gel together.

[Pretty Boy]

Surprising.

The perceived wisdom is that it takes at least 4 windows to turn a team around.

[Stuart93]

Spent their money well over the Summer and it looks like they've done well with their managerial appointment too.

Aye strange that. We’ve always been told it’ll take at least 3/4 windows.

Nonsense

Experienced manager and a clear recruitment plan can see you 3rd in this league within a season

Slightly better for 2 minutes there but this 1st half has been piss poor.

I don’t think I like any variation on 4231 / 451 / 433, especially with 2 sitting midfielders. It seems to be too easy to choke off supply to the attacking players. You can blame personnel but we’ve changed pretty much the entire personnel…

They've had more touches in our box, they're hardly sitting back. Pretty even outside of the goal... Which is its own problem.

[Jim44]

Rocketing up to eighth place.

[jeffers]

He thought Levitt and Vente were!

I never said he got them all right :greengrin

[Unseen work]

Marv has been good again imo.

Defended well

[greenlex]

Get Boyle on for Youhan and Hoilet on for Cadden. That was torture. The only positive was we defended well when we needed to.

[Tambo]

Get in Hibs.

Brave goal from Myko on a relatively poor half attack wise.

[Pytheas]

Outstanding 45 from Ekpiteta.

[SaulGoodman]

Even the goal was ***** 😂

[Golden Bear]

Phew, however I'm beginning to think that even although we get all the ingredients we'll never be able to bake the cake.

It seems to me that regardless of the opposition or the make up of our team, they'll still look like a disorganised mess.

It's disappointing to say the least.

[Silky]

I never said he got them all right :greengrin

🤣. True. So same, naturally, will apply to Malky as well!😝

[Lago]

I say it every week, but I'll repeat it once again.

The pace at which we play the game is nothing short of a joke.

How we ever expect to win games playing at this monotonous walking football is beyond me.
As its happening every game you have to think it's the way Hibs are being coached.

[Hibees1973]

Phew. That'll make St J come out a bit more 2nd half.

Such a Levein team.

Each throw in, corner or dead ball situation they get it's painful to watch. They take an age to take it.

He's been slowing down Scottish football for decades. Mind, we might see them taking them pronto now.

[sleeping giant]

Such a crap half of football.

[tonyrougier123]

Need a bit of energy by all accounts Campbell and Boyle second half? Not at game today.

[Donegal Hibby]

52.4% possession , 8 shots , 1 on target to their 4/1 .
Glad we are ahead but that first half wasn’t good.

[The Captain....]

I’ll take that.

Goal out of pretty much nothing.

Folk have been commenting on the physical stature of our players and that’s what that was down to - ball in actually looked quite speculative but great work from Ekpiteta then Myko to scrape a goal out of basically nothing.Agreed..Myko will hopefully continue to get these scrappy goals for us..not something we've been good at historically.

That was a poor first half but I'll take any kind of win against a Levein team.

Hoilett coming on by the look of it

[sleeping giant]

:agree:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Not much between the sides at half time. Saints are playing the better football IMO. Elie is getting into good positions but his control and passing isn't there today.

[Sheffhibee]

Youan is either not fit or not interested.
Get Boyle on at half time

[Northernhibee]

The managers change but the football doesn’t. I don’t think you’re right.

They're probably saying the same about us! :D

[The Modfather]

Good to be winning but that’s about the extent of the positives. What was the point of sacking Montgomery for more of the same?

[jeffers]

��. True. So same, naturally, will apply to Malky as well!��

Absolutely. Just find it interesting the differing opinions they had on Cadden. I can absolutely see why BMcD didn’t fancy him. I feel like I’m always having a go at him, but I just don’t think he’s any more than average and am puzzled why we signed him.

[hfc-1875]

Don’t care how scrappy the second half is, we need to see this out and hopefully give us a bit confidence and kick on from here

[Hibby70]

Hoilett for Youan I expect.

[He's here!]

Such a crap half of football.

Dismal. We look to be every bit as slow and unispiring as last season.

[Pytheas]

No i agree. So far anyway.

Could have got better results by signing a proper left-back and playing Obita where we are playing Cadden.

[Hibees1973]

Such a crap half of football.

It is, no doubt.

We are awful. Grim viewing.

But I'm willing to overlook this today as it's all about the win.

I wouldn't put a penny on us winning it though.

[Smartie]

Marv has been good again imo.

Defended well

Very ropey moment right at the end of the half but prior to that he was excellent.

He’s actually been very good since the Celtic 3rd goal - has settled in well imo.

[Lago]

The managers change but the football doesn’t. I don’t think you’re right.
The current manager has learned his trade under the previous 4 failing managers, to date he's changed nothing.

[Donegal Hibby]

I would like to see either Boyle or Hoilett come on for Elie .

Triantis is a worry now he’s on a yellow, only booking of the game which is strange considering some of the other tackles in the game like the one on Rudi .

[Unseen work]

I don’t get the criticism for Youan

If someone gave him the ball it would help

It’s been largely brutal for a half and we’re fortunate to go in with a lead

Need to build on it and improve massively

[Callum_62]

Marvs been our best player

When he has had the ball he has lost it or not looked like he wants the ball

There’s a chance he’s both.

[Greenio]

We're 1-0 up. 3 points is all that matters for now

Could say that for the other 9 outfielders

[Callum_62]

6 foot plus foot he win

Zero football but get the set plays on the go

What's going on these days.

4:10 and the second half has not even started.

Will be here after 5:00.

So what. We have history of conceding last minute so really need to be better 2nd half and score again.

[Silky]

Youan is either not fit or not interested.

I wouldn't be either, getting the abuse he has on social media.

[Hibees1973]

Ahh see now St Johnstone guy running to take a corner. :agree:

[Smartie]

They're probably saying the same about us! :D

It could be argued that we well and truly “Leveined them” first half - what little football has been played by them, then we gazump them with a lump into the box.

Correct change at ht imo. I didn’t see any signs of an attitude problem from Youan but he didn’t look the sharpest and absolutely nothing was coming off for him.
