Hibees positivity thread ahead of the Ross County game

[theonlywayisup]

Hoping that the Hibees maintain the recent improvement in results with a tricky away tie against Ross County tomorrow.

Ross County's recent home record hasn't been good with a 3-2 loss against Livingston preceded by losses against Celtic (1-4), St. Mirren (1-2) and The Rangers (0-3), with their only home point since November 23rd being the late, late show against Hearts. However, away from home recently they've beaten Dundee, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock, with their last away defeat being against the Hibees in early December.

Our recent record against Ross County has been relatively good with only one defeat in our last seven league games against them (W4 L2). The defeat being the 2-1 victory for Ross County in Dingwall in May 2024.

Tomorrow will be a tough game, so we must keep the positivity flowing towards our players as they step onto the pitch. I'm looking for another positive result to keep up the momentum. I'd be disappointed if we don't win.

Good luck to Hibs tomorrow and fingers crossed we keep our unbeaten run going.

3 points would be brilliant.

Safe journey to our travelling fans.

Hoping the team travelled up yesterday or early this morning and we aren’t going to travel up tomorrow.

Mon the Hibs, 1-4 to the good guys.

Pretty sure I read they travelled up to Inverness this morning and were training at ICT's stadiumthis afternoon.

Sadly not gonna make this one but good luck to all those travelling, despite the horrible weather.

Hopefully the journey is worth it.

👍 read that as well, good stuff.

Seen the revised weather warning for tomorrow though, could be a bit breezy.

[Cat Stanton]

I was worried about this game. But not now you have created the positivity thread. Do you not have a 100% non-loss success rate (so to speak)?

[Up-the-slope]

looking for continued progress - hoping for more minutes into the legs of recent returned injured players as these will be such a boost to the squad as we hope to progress in cup as well as pushing to keep our league climb going

[Glory Lurker]

Friendly locals. Easy walk from wherever you park, even easier off the train. Wimpy! Shame I'm not going!

[MikeyS]

Almost at full strength squad wise again except Newell, Ekpitita and Elie Youan's seriously seriously injured toe. :rolleyes:

[Benny Brazil]

Looking forward to the game - 1st visit to Ross County so that's another one ticked off the list

The raw conditions will suit RC more than us, it’s always a tough place to go and get a result, but it’s good news that Nicky Cadden is back. A roughty tufts, scrappy 2-1 win will do me nicely… winning goal an OG from a swirling Cadden cross ! :greengrin

It will be a test no doubt but one Hibs should be able to overcome.

Every game will be called tough but this is one of the poorest sides we’ll face up to the split. Need to keep winning if we want to chase down Dundee Utd. Could be an important weekend when you look at the fixtures.

Somebody should have told the bbc Scottish news earlier, as they said Hibs were travelling up at dawn tomorrow 😂

[GreenCastle]

Let’s keep this excellent run going.

Players need to keep believing they can win every game.

Tough game but definitely winnable and would be a massive help as we continue to push for top 6 and higher.

Let’s do this Hibs !

Must be some sore toe

[hibsbollah]

We are hibs. We are good

[Hibees1973]

Bad weather and a poor pitch will make this very difficult.

However, Hibs have shown fight and steel in adversity since December.

[Bishop Hibee]

Decent squad now with players like Obita and Molotnikov on the bench. No reason why we can’t win this.

[The Wireless]

Hibs Win all day long which would top off a great week. 🇳🇬

I think this was recorded yesterday.

[ruthven_raiders]

I think this was recorded yesterday.

Ah would make sense...

[tug.lismore]

When (if) we win today and results go the right way then we could be in 5th place and only 3pts behind Aberdeen.

Quite unbelievable when you consider that game we drew meant we were 25pts behind the Dons and it could have been 28!

Shows how good a run we have been on and what a cliff Aberdeen have fallen off.

Every game brings the pressure to keep the run going. Good pressure to have.

Could be a tough tussle but I think we’ll continue to progress and edge out County playing the focused and disciplined but swashbuckling and exhilarating football that will not just make Europe sit up and take notice, but positively shudder at the prospect of running into us next season!

[Unseen work]

Glad to see this thread

Feeling nervous for this one. Away trip up north and after not playing a league game for a couple of weeks gives me the fear

Hopefully Nicky Cadden available

It’s one of those where we just need to get a result no matter what

[Tambo]

Not the best of run in Dingwall with a few draws and defeat in recent years, must be a positive for the fans being a Saturday game.

One we should be looking to win but need to be up for the battle.

It’s one of those where we just need to get a result no matter whatIt does feel that a win today sets us up for a Top 6 place and a stab at European qualification.

Whereas a defeat would drag us back into the battle to get out the Bottom 6.

A draw wouldn't be the worst result but with only 10 games to go before the split every point is going to be precious.

So this is pretty much the most important game of the season.

So let's win it and move on to the next game which then becomes the most important one of the season.

This will be rinse and repeat for the rest of the season.

Was always going to be a difficult game. Two soft penalties did not help, but we didn't create enough decent chances. Next up the Dons.
