Aberdeen v Hibernian (away)

[badabing67]

Mon Hibs lets get this done

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GpdeMmrWQAAQMCO?format=jpg&name=small

O'Hora in for Miller

[1875M]

Miller? Or have I missed something about injury?

[Heisenberg]

Lewis Miller will be a big miss based on his recent form. Dropping Hoilett is certainly an interesting move

[BILLYHIBS]

Young Whittaker back on the bench

[badabing67]

Bowie in for Myko

[Tambo]

Mon the Hibs, huge game today! Let's get the 3 points.

[MacGruber]

Miller is a big miss. Especially because they have pace and O'Hora isn't the quickest

[SaulGoodman]

Wouldn’t have dropped Hoillet

[Paul1642]

Glad to see Boyle start. There defence is massively there for the taking.

[Coco Bryce]

As long as we don't get beat that's the main thing today.

[GreenCastle]

Hopefully Miller isn’t anything too serious as he’s been really good recently on the right - probably his best few games for us.

He has had a busy schedule with games for Oz and Hibs so wonder if it’s a muscular injury.

Aberdeen going with same starting team as Hearts semi I think.

[BILLYHIBS]

Aberdeen : Mitov Clarkson Dorrington Gueye Jensen Keskinen Knoster Morris Nisbet Palaversa and Shinnie (c)

Subs : Boyd Dabbagh Devlin Doohan MacKenzie McGrath Milne Okkels and Polvara

[Jock O]

Wouldn’t have dropped Hoillet

Only reason I can think is he might see us pressing more than being on ball and Campbell maybe presents better for this, but yes it is an interesting decision as Hoilett has presented a threat most games recently.

Another tough call to be fair and one if it works we need to say well done again.

I will be in a kids party for most of the game trying not to get caught looking at phone, but is probably most nervous game yet for me,

[Donegal Hibby]

Had a feeling Campbell would be back in for this game .

Mon the Hibs :flag:

O'Hora in for Miller

Good to see Bowie starting over Myko and Whittaker on the bench. Less so Campbell starting over Hoilett. Don’t think we will lose today.

Jamie McGrath on the bench no doubt we will see him at some point

[Unseen work]

Aberdeen have a very attacking team and will commit a lot of players forward

We’ll try sit and counter think

Campbell in to make a nuisance on f himself, help defensively and offers greater aerial ability

Aye his flick on assisted the goal at Pittodrie last time if I recall. Nuisance from set pieces against a big team too.

[Lendo]

This is the most nervous I’ve been about a game in a long time.

[Greenbeard]

Keep 11 men on the park and we shouldn't lose. Think it will be tight though.

[Paul1642]

Keep 11 men on the park and we shouldn't lose. Think it will be tight though.

If we don’t and they perform like they did last week against 10 we still win

[makaveli1875]

Hopefully the sheep play like they did last week

[Wheat Hound]

Worst away end in the league made even worse by the reducee allocation. Absolute dump and they claim to be a big club.

[Stuart93]

Lets hope Campbell makes the most of his chance today

He’s not been great starting recently

[Hibees1973]

Hmm.

A few changes we did not expect.

Today will be all about how we defend.

No mistakes from the likes of Obita, please.

[Hiber-nation]

Hmm.

A few changes we did not expect.

Today will be all about how we defend.

No mistakes from the likes of Obita, please.

Why single out Obita? He's been excellent.

[Hibees1973]

I don't regard O'Hora a downgrade on Miller in any way whatsoever.

[Paul1642]

I don't regard O'Hora a downgrade on Miller in any way whatsoever.

I think Miller edges it overall but today specifically it’s Mille’s pace I would have preferred.

[Niffy]

Wish to f*** Hibs would change that font.

Should add, without my specs it all looks like lines.

I also think that by starting Bowie - who is a major threat from the bench - Hoilett gives us a strong option to come on and change a game. Campbell has scored goals v Aberdeen maybe we think he has Shinnie's number in there.

[Spudster]

Campbell has a great record vs Aberdeen

[tamig]

Hmm.

A few changes we did not expect.

What a strange comment. Obita has been excellent since he stepped in for Nicky Cadden. So much so, he’s kept his place.

[MacGruber]

I don't regard O'Hora a downgrade on Miller in any way whatsoever.

Apart from lacking a bit of pace agreed. Kabangu had the run of O'Hora in the Derby. Miller came on and that was the end of that threat. One thing Aberdeen have is pace

[Stuart93]

****in Mon hibernian!!

Such a huge game. Biggest of the season and I can’t feel us losing

[Jock O]

I don't regard O'Hora a downgrade on Miller in any way whatsoever.

I think it is a significant difference on recent performances, I thought O'Hara was our weakest link before his injury, particularly his positioning. Hopefully today he proves me wrong, not for the first time this season!

Well it is an opportunity for O'Hora to show Gray and the coaching team what he has to offer. So he should be up for it. Same for all the players who haven't featured much during the unbeaten run.

Looks like we will try to suffocate them as soon as they cross the halfway line, probably flatten the midfield 3 like we did against Rangers.

Getting the ball on to Campbell's head against thier defence with our own quick and physical presence up front.

Aberdeen gave a lot of the ball away against Hearts, hopefully we're sharp enough to take advantage of that.

I think we are doing ok. Aberdeen with the bulk of the ball and the pressure but they have barely created anything of note. Couple of big clearances but no real big chance. If anything Hibs have had the 2 best chances and we are playing some half decent stuff when we get a foot on the ball.

We need a bit more composure and we will want to see more of the ball but all in all if we get to HT at 0-0 then I'd be pretty happy with how it's gone.

[J-C]

Aberdeen had the majority of the possession but doing little with it, saying that I'd like to see us taking hold of the game, getting really fed up with linesmen waiting an age to flag for offsides, couple of times their man was at least a yard off and they wait till the keeper gets it before flagging.

[Pretty Boy]

Another examples of Aberdeen's frailty at the back. They got away with one there.

[Iain G]

I look forward to the day when Critchley peels off his rubber mask and it was Lee Johnson all along..

[AdidasHibernian]

Really feel if we can get in front we can win it by a few as Aberdeen will be far too open trying to go for it.

Need to be better second half I feel

We’re playing a very high line which we’ve done quite well to be fair but we need to be really cautious of the ball over the top, especially with Aberdeen’s pace

On the ball we need to be far better, much more composure needed and we’ll create chances

I wouldn't say it's been poor. It's been a solid defensive performance. For all of Aberdeen's possession they haven't been able to carve out anything clear cut. We've limited them well and I can see us choring a goal in the 2nd half on the break.

[Onceinawhile]

We can play better, I'm not sure Aberdeen will be able to. Would take a point, but pretty hopeful for three.

[Centre Hawf]

I think Aberdeen have had better overall play with the ball and got into our third often, but defensively we've coped quite well and I'd argue we've still had the superior chances with what little we've had to work with.

Fairly happy with where we are at the moment.

[Iain G]

I'm watching it.

Doesn't mean you are seeing it though 😁

[gbhibby]

Preston saying the bigliest hospitality venue the Gorgie Suite is closed today.

[Dmas]

O’hora had a cracking 45 some very important defending

[Tambo]

Aberdeen really up for it that whole half, we struggled to get into the game on the ball but we have had a couple of chances, despite Aberdeen's control of the game Smith has not had to do much and we have defended really well with the back 3 with some vital moments.

Bowie has held the ball up well when in their final third, Boyle not really in the game.

Would keep it as it is for now.

[Chorley Hibee]

I feel we're giving them too much respect and we're struggling to get a foot on the ball for a sustained period.

O’hora had a cracking 45 some very important defending

Thats great to hear. Same as when Obita stepped up for Nicky were not missing a beat. Speaks to the depth and the team spirit.

[plhibs]

I know its Sheep TV but MacLean is ****ing throbber

Agree, turned volume off, couldn't take it any more.

Yeah outstanding defending to stop the through ball and an important timed challenge near the end of the first half, all the back 3 have defended well.

[The Spaceman]

Keep forgetting if we come away from here without a loss it’s a club record. Come on Hibs.

[JimBHibees]

My view said it did, ref got a bleep to say it was over the line then all of a sudden it’s a foul

Don’t think Scotland has goal line technology

[JJP]

Happy that the game is still level and thought Aberdeen had the better of that half. Hoping for an improvement in the second half and I like our options from the bench. If it’s still level at full time it will be a good result though.

[Coco Bryce]

I wouldn't say it's been poor. It's been a solid defensive performance. For all of Aberdeen's possession they haven't been able to carve out anything clear cut. We've limited them well and I can see us choring a goal in the 2nd half on the break.

That's why I said the defence has done well. Because of that they have only had one shot on target. We've had none. Aberdeen have had 58% possession.

[GloryGlory]

Preston saying the bigliest hospitality venue the Gorgie Suite is closed today.

Did Budge make the mistake of building it with a view of the pitch? :hmmm: :wink:

[JimBHibees]

Think we have done well. Could do with being more of s threat in open play however will be interesting to see if Aberdeen go for it and we can take advantage. We are a huge threat at corners

[Hibs90]

Think we have done well. Could do with being more of s threat in open play however will be interesting to see if Aberdeen go for it and we can take advantage. We are a huge threat at corners

Seems to be the game plan.

[silverhibee]

They don't have the tech for that up here. On field officials would have to decide if it was in or not based on their first viewing.

Joe Newell said he seen the ref look at his bleeper to tell him it crossed the line.

[Hibees1973]

You think? Sounds like we are very comfortable so far

Agreed.

It was a disciplined first half from us.

Know we are unbeaten in 17, but we are no world beaters. Yet.

Some on here have to accept Aberdeen are only 3 points behind and a real threat.

Huge 45 mins.

Will happily settle to stay like this.

And we can counter well at pace.

Feeling happily confident about getting a result

The statistics are ultimately meaningless if our approach to the game see's us walk away with 3 points. I think we've had the least possession in most games we've played this season, it hasn't been an indicator of whether we're going to win or not.

Think newell got confused, Scotland doesn’t have it the ref just touched his watch when he gave the foul but when you seen the replay the ball didn’t go over

[Stuart93]

Agreed.

Has anyone on here not accepted that? How do you not accept it?

It's been working well for Nottingham Forest, it's not the amount of possession thats imprortant, it's what you do with it 😁

[silverhibee]

Don’t think Scotland has goal line technology

It has.

[greenlex]

Joe Newell said he seen the ref look at his bleeper to tell him it crossed the line.

He got it wrong it was a message on his Apple Watch from HQ to do something/anything to disallow it.

[GreenCastle]

Hopefully 2nd half Aberdeen become tired after last weeks extra time.

Subs have been really important for us recently so will be important again today.

A draw really isn’t worst result but if we could go 1-0 up think we are good enough to see it out.

[givescotlandfreedom]

It has.

I didn't think we had it. Just VAR.

[Glory Lurker]

Bit of Madness on the PA. Guid.

100% :aok:

SDG and the staff have us playing efficiently. Something that we'd been lacking for a long time. As long as we keep defending the way we have been, it only takes one high quality chance to get the ball in their net and this team is more than capable of pulling it off.

[500miles]

I think we'll see NMW and Hoillet at about 60 minutes when their pace starts getting less effective.

Boyle needs to get more involved.

[J-C]

Poor 45 from Hibs. Aberdeen playing all the football. If it wasn't for some great last gasp defending we'd be in trouble here.
Hopefully come out fired up for the second half.

You're watching a different game to me then, yes Aberdeen had a lot of the ball but never really threatening, we do need to do more when we have the ball but so far very comfortable.

[matty_f]

Huge second half this. First half was fine, would have liked to have seen a bit more urgency from us but we’ve been pretty comfortable.

Need to take our chances when they come though. Long way to go before this is over.

[Donegal Hibby]

Defensively so far we have done well , not to bothered that they have had more possession as they haven’t done a lot with it . You’d think they’ll have to go for it at some point which will hopefully leave more space for us to exploit.

[Onion]

I feel we're giving them too much respect and we're struggling to get a foot on the ball for a sustained period.

For Dons, it's almost win or bust. Win this game and they still have a great chance to grab 3rd place, lose it and they're about done. For Hibs, win and we virtually secure 3rd, lose it and we still have good chance.

This game is more important for Aberdeen.
