Kilmarnock build up

[GreenCastle]

3rd game in 9 days..against a Killie team who beat the Dons 4-0 yesterday.

Set up to be an exciting game and a game if we manage to win would be an incredible 4 wins in a row / 5 out of 6 wins then we travel to play St Johnstone on the 2nd Jan before Huns at home on 5th Jan.

Killie unbeaten in 4 and won 2 out last 4 but their away form is mixed.

Hibs home form needs to keep improving.

Confident for the 3 points and to keep this momentum going.

Sold out stadium and players should be buzzing after yesterday.

With other teams around us playing each other and Motherwell playing Rangers too..have a chance to be 2 points off top 6.

Let’s do this Hibs and narrow that gap / get away from bottom of the league.

[B.H.F.C]

Can’t see the same team starting again. I’d try to make as few changes as possible but we’ve had various players playing in the last couple of games with knocks, having to come off etc.

Might be a different type of game, imagine they’ll play deeper than what we’ve seen in last couple of games.

[1875M]

Wouldn’t surprise me if some of the players are flat after that game yesterday. Worst thing we can do is get on their backs if things aren’t going our way first half. This will be a tougher game than yesterday.

Why would they be flat after an away derby win?

[B.H.F.C]

Why would they be flat after an away derby win?

Happens. We’ve seen it so many times in the past(not just for Hibs). Get a big result and it can be hard to get going again in the next game. Especially when it’s as soon after. Remember the last time we won there on Boxing Day, we went to Livingston a few days later, never got going, played terribly and lost.

Hopefully with the big crowd in, we can get off to a good start and carry on with the momentum.

[GreenCastle]

Match day tomorrow already..

These fixtures coming at us quickly.

Think we may see a similar line up - I really hope we are oozing with confidence and continue this momentum especially after the derby.

Has there been a press conference about injuries etc ?

[MacGruber]

My worry aswell. Always happens - be it derby or old firm win. Think it takes a lot out of them emotionally aswell as physically. Who knows, nervous energy maybe? Certainly history tells us following these results are hard.
On that note, and not that anyone deserves taken out the team as they were all brilliant - I'd make some changes to try freshen it up

[flash]

Just watched Sportscene and Killie were brilliant against Aberdeen.

Should be a cracker tomorrow.

[Pretty Boy]

It feels a bit of a banana skin this one.

Full house with many in attendance expecting a win after events at Tynecastle. Was it Livingston who pumped us 3-0 at ER only a couple of days after we beat Hearts away under Mowbray? Tomorrow we'll come up against a team coming off a good result themselves who will be organised and probably quite happy to sit in and try and hit us on the break. It will be a totally different game from Thursday and we'll probably have to be patient and find a way to break them down. There is also going to be fatigue to consider, both physical and mental.

It's going to be a tough one. I'm going fully expecting a performance that is more Ross County than Hearts tbh. If it's the same result then I'll be delighted.

[Unseen work]

We can’t afford to start slow or be off it

Got a feeling it might be the classic hangover sort of performance after a big win on boxing day against your rivals

Think McIness will be telling them to get right on top of us from the off

[Mcbizz1998]

Wow! These comments have fairly pissed on my chips! I was buzzing for it after Thursday until I read these 😂

[Up-the-slope]

Just watched Sportscene and Killie were brilliant against Aberdeen.



Should be a cracker tomorrow.

They were - but every time i watch games there I am shocked all over again at the state of their non-grass pitch and also how much of an advantage it gives them having familiarity - even in those highlights you can see Dons players scuff feet missing the ball and caught out with way it runs or doesn't. The banning of them cant come quick enough and 2026 is another year too late

[Dashing Bob S]

This game will be a real test for Hibs and Gray. We never seem to do well at ER 1) coming off a derby win 2) in front of a festive full house.

Killie will be ultra competitive and we'll need to show the same sort of grit and concentration we did in the derby.

I'd settle for an ugly win here.

[Nicho87]

Killie have picked up in recent weeks and like us looking up more than down.

As mentioned the players need to kick on where they left off and don’t let it turn in to a damp squib.

High tempo and get the sell out crowd in green going.

Boys have been great in the last 5 matches in terms of results and majority of performances. Let’s end the year with 3 points and 4 wins on the bounce.

['mon the beers]

Couple of players have been struggling with knocks so I think we might need to change a couple. Maybe O’Hora out and Miller/Obita in to the back 3. Gayle should start for Youan/Boyle just to freshen it up and I can also see a change in central midfield as they’ve put in a power of work recently.

[Glory Lurker]

Agree that we need to be right on it tomorrow but I don't think we should be overly bothered about how Killie did against Aberdeen. The Dons looked horrific in the highlights. If they play like that every week from now they'll be at risk of winding up in the play off.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Killi's discipline has let them down all season. Hopefully get Boyle and Elie running at them causing problems.

I don't think we've had a fast start at home all season - some painful first half viewing - so would love to see us come out flying with all the momentum behind us.

I think this is going to be tough and will be surprised if there is more than a single goal in the game. 4 wins on the bounce would be some feat.

[pollution]

Wow! These comments have fairly pissed on my chips! I was buzzing for it after Thursday until I read these 😂


Just experience talking...

[Eyrie]

I'd agree that after Thursday there is a risk of a let down tomorrow but against that I'd hope the players minds will be focused because of Kilmarnock's resounding win over Aberdeen.

The standard banana skin would be to play a struggling team low on confidence immediately after the derby win. Fortunately we don't face St Johnstone until next Thursday.

I think McIness will go the other way, they’ll sit in, try to frustrate us and kill the game. Hope we can get off to a good start and bring them out, the way we’ve set up in the last couple of games relies on a bit of space. That’s what concerns me about tomorrow, different type of game that might need something slightly different from us.

[Pagan Hibernia]

As others have also suggested, there's a bad feeling in my gut about this.

Everyone at the club on a huge high after Boxing Day. An Easter Road packed to the rafters, expecting a ritual mauling of Kilmarnock to continue SDG's team of warriors unstoppable rise up the table... what could possibly go wrong..

Killie will be tough, canny and streetwise. Very difficult game.

[andrew_dundee]

Killie's result against Aberdeen makes me a little bit more confident. After a result like that it's hard for anyone to be complacent. I'd settle for 4 points from this and St Johnstone, but no reason we can't win both and go to Ibrox on a high.

We aren’t going to Ibrox

[1875M]

Why would they be flat after an away derby win?

It’s happened loads in the past. This is a completely different game against a well organised and street wise McInnes team who will be happy to sit back, slow the game down, and frustrate Hibs. We all know what some Hibs fans are like if we’re not 1-0 up after 30 minutes against teams like this.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Killie could have beaten Aberdeen 6 or 7 nil because Aberdeen were, yet again, honking ..... but regardless of that it was an impressive display from them ( dodgy pitch or not ) with Fraser Murray looking good on the left and that new kid they've brought through, Bobby Wales, not for the first time this season looking like a real find.

It's going to be a tough game with the least experienced manager in the league going up against the most experienced manager in the league and if folk on here are sending out warning shots over this one it's with good reason.

This is a MacInnes team and we simply can't afford to lose the first goal, because if we do we all know the script by now. The ball will be on the pitch for about 10 minutes with foul after foul stopping the game and every throw in and bye kick taking 5 minutes.

We are coming off the back of a couple of absolutely brilliant results, Easter Road will be packed, and most of the crowd will be expecting Hibs to win ..... Historically that's never a good combination for us ..... this is in no way a gimmie.

Looking forward to it :greengrin

I doubt anyone is 'expecting a ritual mauling'. A hard-fought narrow win would be fantastic.

[Pagan Hibernia]

I doubt anyone is 'expecting a ritual mauling'. A hard-fought narrow win would be fantastic.

Haha, yes I admit a wee bit of artistic license was used there. Hibs fans very rarely expect to maul anybody, but confidence is certainly high and I do think most are expecting a win.

Compare even that to the dread or even worse apathy going into games just a month ago... its amazing how quickly things can change in football. They can also change the other way just as quick. Best to just enjoy the moment I suppose

I’m all for a “ritual mauling” don’t shatter my dreams ! :greengrin

[SHODAN]

All set up to be a potential banana skin. Will have to be at the top of our game, again, to get a result.

[Hibrandenburg]

We don't have the depth in quality to go on extended undefeated runs like the Glasgow bigot brothers do (and even they lose occasionally), but I'm optimistic we won't lose tomorrow, however, if we do I won't be at the back of the west stand with a pitchfork afterwards. 50 years of supporting Hibs has made me a realist.

[Since452]

We need to be careful not to fall in to the trap of taking our foot off the gas after pumping Aberdeen and Hearts. This game is absolutely massive. Full house and high expectations. McInnes isn't daft and will know this fine well. This will arguably be our biggest test of the three games.

[Jones28]

We’ve had banana skins since the Celtic game and have won all three. We’ve won ugly, won well, won at home and won away at two historically unhappy hunting grounds.

This is another test but one that we can definitely pass if the players maintain their levels they’ve shown us they have.

[PHeffernan]

Kilmarnock have not won in 10 Scottish Premiership visits to Easter Road (D3 L7),

have lost the last 5

and failed to score in the last 4.


and a warning

Bruce Anderson has scored in three of his last five Scottish Premiership appearances against Hibernian,

including once in each of the 2 most recent games v Hibs.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

A win tomorrow in terms of momentum could be huge. Expecting St Johnstone to get horsed by Celtc which would give us confidence heading into that game with hopefully a decent away support. Looking forward to it.

I don't think we'll want for effort but it's probably important to manage expectations/not to get too dejected if it doesn't go our way. A savvy manager in the opposite dugout and I wouldn't be stunned if it ends up a draw. Follow that up with a win v Saints and we'd still be in a good place.

In saying that we will be going into this full of confidence which will hopefully carry us through.

[Johnny Clash]

ticket just released in upper FF . Damn flu!!

[B.H.F.C]

I’m still absolutely buzzing from Thursday. In fact, you can chuck last Saturday up at Aberdeen in to that as well. Two brilliant away days, as good as anything for a very long time.

With the big crowd in tomorrow it gives it the feeling of a bigger game, being a wee bit different to a normal league game.

Hope the players are similarly buzzing to get back out there tomorrow. Get at them early, keep the crowd involved and I think we’ll be fine.

[Onion]

Tomorrow is a very different game to the previous 4 or 5 with Hibs slight favourites in front a full house of moaning Hibs fans :greengrin If we can come through this with a win, IMO it will top a remarkable recovery by SDG. Here's hoping :flag:

That’s a really good point. If we don’t get the result that a big, expectant crowd are hoping for tomorrow it mustn’t be a “back to square 1” type of deal.

[scm70nyd1973]

A honking game with a last minute winner will do just fine.

I was kinda thinking that a draw with the Poppy Pilferers and a win v Killie would do fine so a draw wouldnt be the end of the world but still disappointing nonetheless.

They had an epic result like we did do they might fall into the same trap as us - might be to our advantage - who knows 😬

[21.05.2016]

Really important game tomorrow. A win in front of a full ER will keep the momentum and feel good factor going into the new year.

[Jim44]

All set up to be a potential banana skin. Will have to be at the top of our game, again, to get a result.

I wouldn’t describe this game as a banana skin. That term suggests there is a clear favourite, highly expected to win. We don’t fit that bill just now. Killie are as good a team as us and the game could go either way. I still fancy us to build on recent results and performances but I won’t hold my breath.

If you’d offered me a point at Tynecastle and win tomorrow on Thursday morning I’d have taken it without question.

But now we’re in this position, go and win tomorrow. If we want to really push up the table then we need to take advantage of what is a pretty unexpected six points from the last two games. I don’t care how poorly Aberdeen and Hearts are playing just now, I don’t think anyone really thought we’d go and win at both these places. Having done that, keep winning the winnable games and we have a real chance of turning this season round.

[Hibees1973]

If I remember correctly the previous games for a fiver/tenner haven't gone well.

Home to St Johnstone & Ross Co both ended in defeats which were hugely deflating for the sold out stadium.

Fingers crossed tomorrow is different.

A win would provide real momentum.

[lucky]

No excuses, we should not be losing at home to many teams never mind a team below us. Both teams have hit a bit of form but still expect a home win

[GreenCastle]

Last few games we have had confidence threads for the team..

Tomorrow the only way we lose is over confidence.

Full crowd - Hibs win would be incredible after last 2 results.

It could arguably be the key game in our season as we have lost a lot of ground - win it and go to Perth to continue to get back what we have lost might be the next springboard we need to get on to 🙏🤞

[kentao]

Killie are only 1 point better off than Hearts in the last 5 games, without the 4-0 vs Aberdeen they have only scored 3 goals in 4 games. I Think it will be a close game but expecting a victory with a clean sheet.

I’ll not get my hopes up on us keeping a clean sheet, but if we continue creating chances the way we have been we should win the game regardless.

[GreenCastle]

Fraser Murray…

Always liked him at Hibs..seems to be playing well for Killie.

Will be interesting to see him tomorrow.

We may also get to see Kyle Magennis too!

[Wilson]

I’ll not get my hopes up on us keeping a clean sheet, but if we continue creating chances the way we have been we should win the game regardless.

Yeah. They score most games. We concede in most of ours. Both score, hibs win.

[PatHead]

Can't believe the amount of negativity amongst some of the posters.

Unless we have someone sent off we will win this.

The county game finished 2-2 so wasn't a defeat though we threw away a 2 goal lead 😔

It's going to be a different game to Pittodrie and Tynecastle. Six points from two stadiums which aren't kind to us normally so different expectations. Plus we normally fall flat the game after a big win.

I'm expecting a score draw. But would be very happy with a narrow victory.

[ekhibee]

Yep, agree with that, I don't think there's a clear favourite in this game but like you, on current form I would just put us on top. That said, I really wouldn't be surprised if we slipped up either. Hard one to call.

[hibsbollah]

‘Banana skin’?
4-0 Hibs.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Can't believe the amount of negativity amongst some of the posters.

Tbf, it has all the hallmarks of the kind of game we've lost in the past. On a good run, on the back of a huge derby victory, large expecting Hibs support. We've all seen it before, so can understand the scepticism. Hopefully we can continue the winning run tomorrow.

Hopefully, it is in the past and we're celebrating 3 points tomorrow.

[danhibees1875]

Here we goooo, 4 wins in a row!

[wookie70]

Kilmarnock have not won in 10 Scottish Premiership visits to Easter Road (D3 L7),

have lost the last 5

and failed to score in the last 4.


and a warning

Bruce Anderson has scored in three of his last five Scottish Premiership appearances against Hibernian,

including once in each of the 2 most recent games v Hibs.

Anderson is a player that would have been an excellent squad player for us. The stats above his are re-assuring though

I'm pretty sure the St Johnstone game ended 0-0. It was far from vintage football. I think we also drew with County after throwing away a lead.

[500miles]

Killie could be a difficult one with no Ekpitita. Rocky's not as strong in the air as he is with players running at him, and Vassell is a handful. Need to stop crosses from getting into the box. If O'Hora is injured and Miller steps in, that could be a blessing or a curse depending of Lewis can keep his concentration.

[Green Reaper]

Kilmarnock do seem to have quite an advantage at home with that awful pitch but seem to struggle away on grass, just 2 away wins this season I think, hopefully that bad form continues today

[TheHibernator]

4-1 Hibs, Youan first goal

[MJ hibs]

Need to go with the flat back four for this and an extra midfielder given we will have all the ball. Rocky and iredale the two CH and Gayle up front

[Donegal Hibby]

Barring injuries I’d go with pretty much the same team again . I think they’ve earned the right too , wonder if Myko might return and be on the bench , is physical presence might be handy to have and give us another option.

[Hibernian Verse]

I'm pretty sure the St Johnstone game ended 0-0. It was far from vintage football. I think we also drew with County after throwing away a lead.

Think we lost 2-1 and it was the first time VAR had been used in Scottish football ruling out a last minute pen for us due to offside.

Windy but not awful.

Not that cold but probably worth wearing a woolly if going to game.

McInnesball game. Loads of fouls by them and bookings for us. 10 behind the ball if they score first. Hopefully we score early but don't go too gung ho because of a large enthusiastic crowd.

Anyone advice on a good place to park for a quick get away? Usually use meadowbank but can be stuck in there for ages but need away pretty sharp

Hibs have been awful with a back 4 this season. If Gray is stupid enough to change to this then he really hasn't learned anything from the start of the season and it would be extremely worrying.

[Fergos]

Miller is the best shout if Ohora isnt fit, 3 of Killies 4 goals vs. Dons were from crosses and Millers decent in the air.

[JimBHibees]

This will be a tougher game than Hearts need to be at it and defend well as don’t want to give them a lead. We will create a few chances hopefully are clinical.

I like our recent set up - it’s definitely more positive and a bit like if you score 1 goal we will score 2.

Having 2 up front with speed and the other options like Gayle has worked well.

Killie have played a back 3 and 4 so playing 2 up makes sense. You will definitely see Killie go into a back 5 today so hopefully we try different ways to break them down.

Would love a Rocky goal today from a corner - be great to see.

Home to Killie a harder game than away to Critchley's Hearts??

Nah, not having that.

This will be one of our easier games of the season and we should be expecting the win.

...against a team unbeaten in 4, who have just come off a thumping victory.

They have also not lost by more than 1 goal against non-OF teams all season.

I'd say that's an interesting take you have!

[GreenCastle]

Glasgow, mother in laws pronto to avoid any fire breathing

Would park McDonald Road area or Pilrig Street way and then that gets you onto Ferry Road / Queensferry Road quicker after the game. Much easier walking 10 or so mins to park than trying to find a closer space as often traffic around stadium is slow.

[AdidasHibernian]

Tough game today I think it will be tight. Hope we don't have a hangover from our result against the Farts.

Killie playing pretty well and off the back of a good win against the Sheep. Think with it being at home and not away on that pitch which is a leveller might be enough for us today to nick a win.

Mon the Hibees!

[Since452]

Very windy. Can't see it being a classic

When we were bottom, plenty on here were claiming we were as good as several teams above us :confused:

If a team is above us does that mean we can't expect to beat them? Never heard that one before!

This is one of the only times I've felt optimistic and confident going into a game this season and now folk are picking me up for it.

Can't win on here. Too negative for some / too positive for others!!

Anyways, I'm sticking by my original post. Killie are crap, we're playing well, at home, with a sell-out crowd. 3-1 Hibs.

To me it just sounds like you're setting the scene to have a go at the team if we get anything less than a convincing win.

I'm hoping for a Hibs win and definitely think we have a good chance of doing so, but expecting to win is something else.

Need to go with the flat back four for this and an extra midfielder given we will have all the ball. Rocky and iredale the two CH and Gayle up front

Nope. Go with whats working

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

This will be a tough game. I hope we keep the recent momentum going to get the win.

We can’t afford to relax and think we’ve turned our season around just yet.

Think we lost 2-1 and it was the first time VAR had been used in Scottish football ruling out a last minute pen for us due to offside.




Was that the game where we were ahead but went down to ten in the 2nd half?

Won’t feel the wind as badly in the stadium. It’s fairly built up compared to most dumps in this league.

Looking at the League table, Kilmarnock are a more difficult opponent than a terrible Hearts team. Or does the league table lie?

Home to Killie will (should) never be classed as a harder game than Hearts away

[Hibernian Verse]

Away to Killie will (should) never be classed as a harder game than Hearts away

We’re at home I hope you haven’t driven to Ayrshire!

Why not? If Killie are currently better than Hearts, then Killie will be the more difficult opponents.

Stadium / club shops and local streets busy - great to see so many Hibs fans and looks like quite a few new fans attending first games too with family and young kids.

Would you have said playing Aberdeen would have been a more difficult game than playing Rangers a few weeks ago when they were in 2nd?

[Hibrandenburg]

Yes, especially bearing in mind that Aberdeen had previously beaten Rangers.

So you've never used the term "the table doesn't lie"?

To me it just sounds like you're setting the scene to have a go at the team if we get anything less than a convincing win.

I'm hoping for a Hibs win and definitely think we have a good chance of doing so, but expecting to win is something else.


FFS, wish I'd never posted anything :rolleyes:

I think we'll get humped today, we're crap, and Gray should go. Happy now?
