St Mirren game

[Tambo]

Ticket just bought, another £26 on top of my train ticket and 3 nights at the premier inn.

Do have a decent record recently when I'm up, unbeaten in last 16 trips up since Aberdeen last game of the season 2019, does include a good few draws though.

Last trip was St Johnstone this season, we got this!!

[Groathillgrump]

Let's hope you're our lucky mascot as we need all the help we can get! :greengrin

Enjoy your visit.

[JohnM1875]

Ken I probably sound mental but I'm already looking forward to the St Mirren game. Finally a Saturday 3pm home fixture!

I'll never not look forward to going to Easter Road.

[Scorrie]

Got my ticket as well. Don’t get to as many games as I would like cos of distance. Strangely really looking forward to the game!

[Nicho87]

Chance to go 4 unbeaten

😀

[Carheenlea]

Had to miss the game yesterday due to illness.

Was still able to view the game from home and enjoyed quite a lot of our performance up till the VAR farce, but can’t wait to get back to ER proper this weekend.

With rumours of change afoot we might see by weekend what they entail and a renewed sense of optimism might be present.

Fingers crossed the team repays your dedication. It’s a huge game; St Mirren at home is a fixture we should always look to win, and we are desperate for the points. Home wins are always the key to a decent season. Drop points in this game and we just dig the hole we are in a little deeper. A few goals would be nice.

[SHODAN]

We'll want to win this one

Thanks! As Scorrie says, it's hard for long distance fans to get to Easter Road as much as we would like.

Weekend away from my dump of a hometown is always a plus, weekend in Edinburgh with Hibs and white pudding suppers is like Dreamland.

Good on you Tambo

[Tambo]

Still a good few tickets left in the East, I did like the 3-5-2/3-4-3 team posted in the "attacking formations" thread.

Will need a really good performance from both Miller and Obita and something central, Hoilett should be able to drift wide if needed, don't want to be seeing either Boyle or Youan out wide crossing to no one 😁

Whatever the formation is and no Myko then I think we need something different than the first half last week we might play some sexy football and score a few goals 🫣

[California-Hibs]

Must win!

Am I doing this right?

[lugz]

My youngest 2 first ever mens game. Far from ideal timing but here's hoping they get good memories from it.

[ekhibee]

Let's hope Tambo's our lucky mascot for this game, although for me it has draw written all over it.

[chrisski33]

Should want to win every game we play

[Coco Bryce]

Must win 6 pointer.

2-0 Hibs.

3rd must win game in a row…..3rd time lucky?

[JohnM1875]

3rd must win game in a row…..3rd time lucky?

It is worrying. If Gray wasn't manager (head coach) then there's no chance folk are as chilled as some seem to be, which makes zero sense to me.

Folk need to be able to separate Gray the player and Gray the manager (head coach). They both aren't similarly qualified. Gray was a good player and captain. That doesn't make him a good manager (head coach)

Pop hibs quiz - whats the most draws in a row we've ever had?

[number9dream]

Pop hibs quiz - whats the most draws in a row we've ever had?

Six league draws on the bounce in 94-95 when we finished third - behind Rangers & Motherwell.
A mighty 19 draws in 87-88 - also under Alex Miller (finished sixth).

[Since90+2]

When was it that it changed from 2 points for a win to 3? Previously a draw wasn't as damaging as losing a potential 3 points.

[erin go bragh]

Six league draws on the bounce in 94-95 when we finished third - behind Rangers & Motherwell.

1 point off second and with a better goal difference than Motherwell
A win in any of they six draws and we would have been 2nd.
And if my memory is correct, we didn't even qualify for Europe as Raith won the League cup.

[ChuckNor]

If Saturday is to be Harry McKirdy’s first start since 2023 then good luck to the lad. Know for a fact he’s been working incredibly hard behind the scenes and impressed in training.

Feels like our home record has been absolute pish for the last 5 years with the exception of the Covid '3rd' season when you obviously wouldn't have been there. So 16 visits without defeat in that period is very very impressive :flag:

Presumably 94/95 is also the last time we finished above the lesser greens?

[Trinity Hibee]

Hibs have lost three of their last four Scottish Premiership games against St Mirren (D1), more than their previous 17 beforehand (W11 D4 L2).

St Mirren won both of their league trips to Easter Road last season, scoring exactly three goals each time. The Buddies had only won two of their previous 13 top-flight away games at Hibs before this (D5 L6).

It was similar stats for DU last weekend. Further evidence of how our record against these teams has got a lot worse the last year or so.

Our home league record wasn't particularly great in the Covid season either:

P19 W7 D6 L6

It was our best away record in years that carried that season.

Our home form has been dire for far too long.

[GreenCastle]

I don’t see us losing - but like the Utd game it’s whether or not we have enough quality to create / score goals with Myko and possibly Gayle missing ?? We are the lowest scorers in the league so far and some games it looks like we could play all day and not score - let alone 2 goals.

This is a massively important game..:

1 - David Gray needs a win - a loss would be a disaster
2 - we haven’t won for 2 months
3 - Hearts playing Celtic / Rangers and Aberdeen next - we need points
4 - teams above us are picking up points and making the gap bigger each week
5 - 2 week international break - win and feel good factor at training etc - lose and that will be a long 2 weeks for players and fans.
6 - I missed the home St J win so haven’t seen us win a league game for absolutely ages !!

In a bizzare fact we got more points at home the next season when we were 8th!

St Mirren haven’t won an away game in the league all season so it’s a stick on home win today

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

1-1 today. All these draws will be like death by a 1000 cuts.

[Unseen work]

St Mirren haven’t won an away game in the league all season so it’s a stick on home win today

That sort of stat normally makes me think we’ll be the team to end that.

But today we’ll win, we have to.

[Keith_M]

I must admit it's hard to get optimistic when we don't have any first choice strikers available.

We already struggle to score goals.



Anyway, hat-trick for McKirdy today.

[DIXIHIBS]

Maybe not a must win in the true sense but a loss today and the pressure on Gray will be intense. I'm for keeping him but we badly need a confidence boost. Cmon the hibees.

[lyonhibs]

Ken I probably sound mental but I'm already looking forward to the St Mirren game. Finally a Saturday 3pm home fixture!

I'll never not look forward to going to Easter Road.

Your last line rings particularly true if you only get the chance to do it once or twice a year. Never gets old.

[Billy Whizz]

I see the route from south to East is closed before and after the game
Seems to be a regular occurrence now

[GreenCastle]

Looking forward to the game today - surely we will get that win. Felt like the crowd was really positive last week considering the citcumstances.

St Mirren have had loads of issues with player discipline plus injuries and not won an away game all season.

If we draw or even lose I fear for Gray.

If we manage to win the next 2 we have a good opportunity to get back into the mix with others especially looking at the fixtures of other teams around us.

[Saint Hibee]

Looking forward to the pub before the game; the game not so much. St Mirren seem to have become a bit of a bogey team for us. (as have most teams come to think of it). I’m sure I’ll feel better after a few pints .

[Since452]

[Tambo]

Currently chilling up Arthur's seat, still never get enough of the view of Easter Road.

[500miles]

Maybe see N Cadden on the left today and Elie through the middle. Let Hoilett play the right so we can bring Boyle when he tires and we need to take pressure off the midfield.

[sleeping giant]

See what happens 😅

[cameronw-hfc]

Gray mentioned Mckirdy prefers to play there and got a decent mention from Hibs Observer about starting potentially and impressing in training, have a feeling it'll be him up top with Gayle on bench.

No real reason other than it felt like the idea was hinted at a few times during the week. Not overly confident about it if that's how we line up but would be delighted if he went out and done something. Would rather Gayle, just not sure he's fit enough and not sure Elie has Grays trust at the moment to start up top.

Our home form has been dire for far too long.

Easter Road is probably the best away day for most teams/supports. Get to play on a good surface at a good stadium with good facilities. You're playing a subpar team relative to the size of the support and club financials so have a good chance of winning.

We've struggled to maximise the benefits of our infrastructure to give us a better team on the park which more often than not works against us. Our home record compared to most teams in the league has been poor for far too long but it's not going to change anytime soon.

The odds for a St Mirren win are very undervalued IMHO.

This is our issue in a nutshell and the club have to find a formula to take care of these teams at ER. Fast, direct football from the start will see equally crap defences make the mistakes we do. Slow pedestrian passing gets us no where. As fans we should stomach that too

Ross and Lennon figured that out but struggled, as all clubs our sizeand managers do

[GreenCastle]

Surely he won’t start McKirdy (zero goals for the club) over Youan!

Wouldn’t be surprised if he plays Gayle with the 2 week break after this to recover hoping he’s fit enough to play 60 mins then bring Youan on.

Would prefer the speed and directness of Youan and then Gayle on later.

Not long been on sky bet and Mckirdy was second favourite to score, can't remember the odds but be surprised if he starts and scores.

[Green_one]

Surely he won’t start McKirdy (zero goals for the club) over Youan!

Would prefer the speed and directness of Youan and then Gayle on later.

I am feeling confident of a win for a change. My only doubt is if he plays McKirdy. Honestly, a random guy from the terracing would give me more hope of a goal

2-1 Hibs. Luck must go for us sometime. :flag

[CMac1988]

Playing Youan seems obvious but he's hardly done anything to help our cause when he has played. Frustratingly he looked decent for a spell last week but then acted the tool on social media again putting Gray in a difficult position on whether to select him. He should play but it will depend on how that situation has been handled behind closed doors.

[eastmainsmsh]

1-1 Alex Gogic og lol

Id rather Youan but just don't think he's fancied and been very hush on Gayles fitness so not sure if he's ready or we're just not giving it away!

Not a player in the squad I'd be happier to see kick into form, but like others do not see it happening.

[Skol]

I think it will be Mckirdy up top but should be Youan. Small chance it’s Campbell though

[Keith_M]

That would be good

[AT8]

The team sheets on the Hibs social media platforms are shocking. Not only has it been done in video form so you can’t zoom in, they’ve chosen an awful font for the player’s names, making it even harder to read. Sometimes keeping things simple works better.

[MikeyS]

That smug blue nose McIntyre on BBC about to enlighten us all about the high salaries at Hibs....apparently he's been told the wages by an ex Hibs player this week.

Going to be tricky without a striker, even if the ones we do have aren't exactly prolific.

[Dashing Bob S]

Bursik

Youan

Strong side which will destroy St Mirren and herald our renaissance as a European footballing power.

[hibee-boys]

I’m assuming he’s injured. Disgraceful decision otherwise.

Disgraceful? That’s a bit dramatic…..the lad is a talent but hasn’t contributed much recently. Perhaps Gray keen to rest him up, pretty sure he played mid week in the reserve game.

We’re going to batter them today.

The bad run started with St Mirren and will end with St Mirren. A win has been coming and today is the day.

We’ll go 1-0 up early doors and get a second before half time.

Youan and Boyle to score

Confidence is key….confidence is key

Feels like a real must win game today, especially looking at the table. If Ross County win today and Hearts win tomorrow and we get beat I will be officially concerned we are going to be cut adrift by Christmas.

I sit near the dug out so hopefully it's not too bad.

[Stuart93]

Wonder when Boyle’s going to get the chop for his non appearances.

Seems bulletproof in that team albeit we’ve little options.

He’s been very poor

It’s 3 points or out the door today. It has to be as cut throat as that

[tamig]

I sit near the dug out so hopefully it's not too bad.

I should be fine in the east hopefully 🙏

[HarpOnHibee]

Got to start figuring out a method for cutting teams open rather than being limited to poor chances. Pushing an excess number of players forward isn't the solution either as St Mirren will just pluck us off on the break. The balance and pace of the play has to be right.

Relieved McKirdy not starting, which I feared.

That will be imposters such as Tavares & Kenneh.

Thanks Ian.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

It’s just hearsay and players wages shouldn’t be discussed or shared in the public. This smacks of just yet another angle to attack Hibs with negative stories.

It’s just hearsay and players wages shouldn’t be discussed or shared in the public. This smacks of just yet another angle to attack Hibs with negative stories.

It’s hardly news either so not sure why they feel the need to suddenly bring it up. We’ve all known for ages there are players on good money who haven’t kicked a ball.

[ChuckNor]

Stuart Lovell on the co comm. Be listening to this on mute. Guy loves the sound of his own voice and does nothing but moan.

[HarpOnHibee]

SDG saying that we need to be more clinical with our chances when we're on top. I hope he realizes that the quality of the chances have to be better as well. As we rarely look like scoring from open play even when we do see more of the ball.

[Jones28]

Hibs TV has Youan through the middle which is interesting.

[hibee-boys]

Said we have players who aren't involved much on 5, 6 or 7 grand a week.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Mckirdy, Kenneh, Amos, Levitt and Jair are on wages on and around that mark. Scary to think of the money wasted on them.

100%.

More importantly you can actually hear what he says.

Most on Hibs TV mumble and you can't hear what they are saying.

Lovell's criticism is always on the mark and he gives context on why certain players should be called out.

At least we can all blame the ref when we don't win again. Just put the ball in the net and it won't matter if the ref is *****

[Lago]

Started slow here.

Barely been in the st mirren half.

Shelling it forward as soon as we get it
Usual tactics then:confused:

[Hibees1973]

Dearie me....same movie again.

[SHODAN]

This process is giving me the boak

[HH81]

Crap again

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

This ref is either brutal or corrupt, there's some meaty challenges being dealt by St Mirren being ignored.

He's a hertz ******* 😡

[Stuart93]

Been absolutely terrible viewing so far and easy peasy for them to score

We look horrendous

[Lago]

Didn't take long

[Pretty Boy]

Not many duels getting won in the box there. Piss poor defending all round. Again.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Oh dear

[we are hibs]

Another ****ing cross.

Meh. Their players are able to hold the ball up under pressure and find players on the run. We've been miles off it since the start.

Just **** off Hibs, every ****ing week.

[Berwickhibby]

Again pish defending

The only argument for him getting the job was that he got Hibs and knew what we needed to improve.

It's now expected

Early days but really need to show a good reaction here or else I think my support for SDG has ran its course.

[Since452]

Would take that in a heartbeat right now. Gray is having an absolute nightmare

[Boyle89]

For those that were celebrating miller not playing. Cadden is way worse defensively. Always too far over and never stops crosses.

[Stuart93]

At this rate the clubs standing back and watching us get relegated.

[dmc1875]

Gray 70 mins from the sack, relegation written all over this shower of absolute ****.

He’s so far out his depth is painful. Doesn’t absolve the board and owners of blame as they are a shambles too.

But Gray and his coaching staff are absolutely horrific.

[Is It On....]

I think that's pretty much it. Owner has checked out.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Sorry, but this can't go on unless Ian Gordon & Kensell actually want us to go down.

Boos ringing round the stadium.

Anyone seen this movie before?:boo hoo:

[CMac1988]

They're so much more comfortable on the ball. You can see why we struggle given the gulf in quality for many individuals against their counterparts. Woeful.

[Pretty Boy]

This is absolute affront to football.

Hooooooooooooooooooooof

[Stuart93]

We’re 2nd to absolutely everything.

I’m still struggling to believe people were happy we resigned players like triantis & thought we’d do alright.

[The Captain....]

Amazing how inept these players are, defence, midfield and up front we are absolutely woeful.

A thoroughly unlikeable bunch.

Never seen a team come out as slowly and negatively as we do under Gray.

We are so far off it all over the park.

[Ozyhibby]

This is just a really awful Hibs side destined for relegation. To not change things on Monday would be criminal.

"Getting Hibs" should be an instant disqualifier. We need somebody who actually knows how to change things.

[Since452]

I think we'll be relegated by a distance. We are very poor. St Mirren can't buy an away win but completely in control here

[jeffers]

Spot on.

It’s a bit like deciding if it’s better to stand in horse **** or cow ****, it’s still **** after all.

You’re another joker

Have you watched us much this season? Or just going off results? Obviously last 15 minutes we've tended to be pish but dominated most games and played better than the opposition in most fixtures.

[He's here!]

I stuck up for Gray and the team a couple of weeks ago but this is relegation stuff.

[dmc1875]

Gray’s made this team worse, zero doubt about that

Montgomery made us worse than Johnson (unbelievably) but this is a whole new level of garbage we are being served up now

[Trinity Hibee]

If we don’t get 3 points today Gray simply has to go. End of.

If he doesn’t then we are accepting relegation and many will just walk away from this crap

[SteveHFC]

Gray’s made this team worse, zero doubt about that

We have Harry McKirdy to come on and save this game.

[J-C]

A Celtic loan who looks bang average, Triantis who was pish last season, Cadden who's never a RB, Newell who's never a captain never mind a defensive midfielder and Boyle who looks like his mind is over in Australia, we are is some ****ing state, you'd think ST Mirren were the home team here.

[Stuart93]

Robinson got his team well drilled here, knowing exactly where to target & where we’re weak

What are we doing? Where are we targeting? What is our play?

We can barely even pass the ball.

Lol

[hibee-boys]

A team of players who either know they’ll not be here next season so don’t give a fxxx or players safe in the comfort that no matter how pish they are the players that could replace on the bench are worse. What an absolute dire situation and we should be under no illusion that relegation is a possibility.

[NC1875]

Dominated most games 😂 I can’t take you seriously.

Having loads of possession before a hoof up the park isn’t dominating games or teams. We are terrible. Teams are happy to let us have the ball because we do nothing with it.

If you think that’s playing well then good on you. It can’t always be a hard luck story, you don’t play well in 12 games and win 1 of them.

[J-C]

I think BK group might do something about that before it looks that bad.

[Paul1642]

Cadden is infinitely worse than Miller.

[SHODAN]

Unlucky Youan, great move.

[CMac1988]

Unlucky. Good play from Youan.

[Liam89]

I get you're all emotional but if we held out in a few of our games we'd be sitting comfy top 5 and everyone agreeing we've looked decent.

Fine lines.

[J-C]

Cadden is infinitely worse than Miller.

He had a serious injury and this season has been stop start for him, think he's struggling with the pace of the games recently.


Unlucky from Youan there.

Hahahaha eh? We’ve no though and we’re sitting bottom

You’re a troll.

[gazzag70]

Having seen a few relegated Hibs teams in the past, it has to be said this team and squad is right up there. Years of mismanagement and poor recruitment have caught up with us. A very long hard season ahead. Two absolutely awful centre halves will see to that.

[HarpOnHibee]

Have you watched us much this season? Or just going off results? Obviously last 15 minutes we've tended to be pish but dominated most games and played better than the opposition in most fixtures.

Dominating without looking like scoring, isn't dominating at all. It's just the other team sitting back and waiting to break when we become desperate and commit too many players forward. The quality of our chances from open play are utterly woeful and the sheer lack of goals we've scored this season backs that up.

We ain't "dominating", we ain't "unlucky". Opposition teams are playing with more effective tactics and it's hurting us badly and will continue to do so if nothing changes.

[Murphys Touch]

Same players, same tactics and same voices in the back room as last few years

Why are we expecting anything to be different. Hibs legend or not, Gray being appointed was a brutal choice….hes been part of the coaching issue for years

[He's here!]

The squad is much better than bottom of the league though. Gray has us playing dreadful football

I don't get why people believe this. It's a vastly changed squad so what we're seeing is all we can base an opinion on. They appear to be very much bottom of the league standard.

[SteveHFC]

****ing *****.

Get them all to ****

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

It's a tough watch

[hibee_girl]

Horrendous mistake from O’Hora.

WTF? What the actual ****?

What is O'Hora doing? What is Marv doing? What is Bursik doing? That is hilariously bad.

This. Teams know we can’t hurt them and we will bring our own downfall.

Oh look another goal.

He can’t defend. He can’t get a cross passed the first man.

0-2

Surely there cannot be anyone left now wanting Gray to stay.

[MWHIBBIES]

Dreadful from ohora and bursik.

This has got a sacking written all over it, sadly. Heads are gone.

We’re going down. Irrelevant of manager.

[The Captain....]

The squad is much better than bottom of the league though. Gray has us playing dreadful footballI don't think it necessarly is, we'll find out soon enough if things don't improve I guess. I think this as poor a Hibs team as I've seen in my lifetime, there is no talisman to rescue us, the keeper is a ghost, we can't defend, midfield is second to everything, we don't create many chances and those we do we don't take.

No, I don't believe that, not with the quality of Triantis and Kwon in there, those powerhouses that we're repeatedly told by all and sundry are top quality.

Can we protest yet
