Hibees positivity thread ahead of the Kilmarnock game

[theonlywayisup]

During this impressive run in the league, SDG has always said "let's catch the team ahead of us". The team have responded by moving away from the bottom up to 3rd in the league, beating Motherwell (twice), Ross County, Aberdeen (twice), Hearts (twice), Kilmarnock, Celtic and Dundee United. In an impressive unbeaten run, we’ve now gone 13 games unbeaten in the top-flight. The last time we had a top-flight 13-game run in the same season was all the way back in 1949/50! The Famous Five era!

Whilst it was disappointing to lose the league and cup unbeaten run last week, we showed a lot of resilience albeit with a lack of creativity, not helped by losing Nicky Cadden to injury. Tomorrow, I hope that Youan steps up to fill the creative void.

Tomorrow will be a difficult match and we'll need to maintain the positivity gained over the last few months. With another fantastic away support present, let's keep the positivity flowing as the Hibees run out onto the pitch. I hope the positive results will continue.

16 points till the Huns!

Think we need something a wee bit different to give us a bit of spark. We’ve struggled to create much in most of our away games since the turn of the year. If we can address that and remember to play, I think we’ll win.

[Donegal Hibby]

It’s not going to be pretty with free flowing football with their pitch and due to them being physical and the way they play ,it will end up a bit of a battle ..

There’s a good spirit and togetherness about us and I think we will have enough to get at least a draw,going for 2-1 Hibs Bowie and Campbell …

Mon the Hibees :flag:

[Onceinawhile]

I would like to see us score lots of goals and not conceded any goals.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Here we go, 14 in a row

[Unseen work]

Happy to see this thread continuing


Another in a series of huge games, Killie sitting third bottom and if memory serves me right we’ve struggled away from home against the clubs near the bottom

Nicky Cadden is a huge loss but likely to be Obita who comes in who is a very good replacement

Hope Bowie can really kick on now and score regularly

Hopefully Manneh is right up to speed too

[B.H.F.C]

Surprised the bookies have us at nearly 2/1 given form.

Get out and at them early on, more so in some recent away games, we’ll be fine today.

Despite going unbeaten in the league, our away performances in 2025 have been poor. 2/1 is probably fair for a team that only has 1 away win in their previous 5 against top flight opposition.

[GreenCastle]

We can definitely win this game - maybe won't be easy - maybe not pretty but we have the quality to win it and continue the push for 3rd.

The pitch makes things difficult but we have the better players and need to show it.

Last time away to them we should have won except for a late penalty we gave them to make it 1v1.

Let's keep this run going and bounce back after last weeks cup game.

Agree with this and I have a feeling that today is when we'll start to improve on that.

I'm just getting ready to leave for Rugby Park and looking forward to it... even if it's just for the Killie Pie.

[Unseen work]

Hopefully Bowie has a point to prove for the Scotland squad after seeing Wilson getting a call up

[Hibees1973]

Get the feeling today is a biggie prior to the break.

A win is likely to increase the gap on those below us as I'm sure at least one of them will drop points this weekend.

Pressure is kind of on us now as the front runner and can we cope with this.

[Jones28]

Huge game, 3 points massive. Three away games on this good runs were draws that could have been wins - St Johnstone, Ross County and St Mirren.

Come on Hibs, 0-2. Bowie and Boyle.

[erin go bragh]

Its hard to believe that we are priced 9/5 to Killies 6/5
on a 13 game unbeaten run and that price is very generous
Cmon the Hibs

[Hibs07p]

I know it's a positivity thread, BUT, has anyone factored into the equation, that Clancy is in charge, along with, rookies (?)

Surprising Levitt and Hoilett in for Campbell and NMW

Clearly wants more control and on the ball ability today, those 2 coming in gives alot more creativity however we lose a lot of fight and workrate


Maybe thinks we need that with Obita being in for Cadden as he’ll naturally be more defensive

Hopefully works

[greenlex]

Youan nowhere to be seen.

Horses for courses but I think we need as much quality on the ball as we can today. Hoillet and Levitt have both been good recently.

I don’t think it’s much surprise to see Campbell drop out if you have watched much of our away games in 2025.

[Ronniekirk]

Youan nowhere to be seen.

He didn’t do enough when he came on v Celtic but unless toe has flared up agsin would of though he would of been on the bench But maybe the artificial surface isn’t great for him and we need players you can control the. Ball on the surface
