We need to win. No doubt about it. We needed 4 points from this week to make sure that we’d finish third.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

St Mirren have to win so we should know what to expect. I'll say right now that if we score first we will win.

Watched the highlights of their win against Aberdeen and thought they were right in the dons players faces and to an extent bullied them all over the pitch .. something I think we’ll need to stand up to on Wednesday night .

[B.H.F.C]

We need to win Wednesday. If we do, we’ll finish third IMO. Massive game.

Tomorrow's game will have the biggest influence on what we need on Wednesday.

Mon the currant buns.

[Hibees1973]

Know Aberdeen beat us to put them back in the mix, but they need to get at least a draw against Rangers or Celtic, then win against Dundee Utd to get 4 points to finish above us.

A flakey Rangers and a likely weaker Celtic side on Wednesday doesn't put this out of the question.

If we get beat on Wednesday we are vulnerable. Win it, then we can look forward to a European odyssey.

[JohnM1875]

If Aberdeen win tomorrow we need a win against St Mirren I reckon.

Mental how that wonder goal from Nisbet changed things. That doesn't happen we're basically home and hosed.

The classic 6 pointer that game

[Pretty Boy]

I don't think we need to win on Wednesday, even if Aberdeen win tomorrow which is far from the guarantee some want to believe. They would still need to win v Celtic to put themselves in the driving seat and that is even less of a guarantee.

I'd like us to win as it would put us in a very strong position, it may well be that a win becomes crucial should Aberdeen take anything tomorrow as they have the easier game on the final day but there is still no must win about it. A big game most definitely but I don't think we need to be heaping any more pressure on ourselves than is necessary.

I said months ago that the ideal scenario for our finishing 3rd was for Celtic and Rangers just to win every game they played except against us. That becomes particularly true this week.

Irrespective of the score tomorrow we just need to match Aberdeen’s points tally in the last two games. Simple as that.

[Callyballybe]

After Saints winning today, they'll be fully pushing for 5th. Wednesday is going to be very tough for us. A win would be fantastic, but I don't see us managing it unfortunately.

[Malthibby]

Steady!

Oh the tin flute my father wore, it was beautiful....
Sticks in my craw but we should want the ******* to win...:sick:

The highlights from there game against Dundee Utd they looked very good going forward.

[CB Hibs 68]

I think if we don’t concede we will get at least a draw

[JJP]

The only team in the league we haven’t beaten this season. Be nice to change that on Wednesday.

[ian cruise]

If we end up 4th I'd be disappointed for about 5 minutes as we were so close, but very quickly be very happy with where we finished given how the season went early doors. There's not a huge amount of difference between much of the league most years, 4th is almost always a decent finish most seasons.

I'm really unsure why some are so convinced Aberdeen can beat Rangers at Ibrox tomorrow, but not convinced we can beat them at Easter Road next Saturday? If Aberdeen can beat them so can we.

As for Celtic lying down to them/playing a weakened team, why would they give their cup final opponents a boost like that? I expect Celtic to hammer them so when cup final comes Dons are mentally defeated before a ball is kicked.

Can’t agree. If we fail secure European group stage football, whether that be through coming 4th, or Aberdeen winning the cup, I’ll be massively disappointed until we achieve something equally as good or better which realistically might be quite a while with the drop in coefficient standing next year.

That’s not to take anything away form the team who would have fallen an inch short of the almost impossible giving our standing in November, but my hopes are now up and it would be such a shame not to get over the line.

[Paul1642]

There is definitely doubt about it. All will be more clear by 1:45 tomorrow but if Rangers win tomorrow, all we need to do on Wednesday is match Aberdeen’s result and nothing more.

Aberdeen taking something is of course a possibility, but the likelihood is a Celtic win.

[HendoDelivered]

This will be an extremely tough game.

[Paul1642]

This will be an extremely tough game.

The Con of their win against United today is that Saints very much have something to play for against us on Wednesday. I’m not convinced it would have made much of a difference if they didn’t though and we certainly won’t be underestimating them in the way we might have if they were down and out.

The Pro - Dundee United will be fighting for European football in their last game of the season against Aberdeen should we potentially end up relying on them getting a result. If results had gone differently this game could have been a nothing event for United.

Regardless, massive credit to St Mirren for being where they are. On the last game pre split it was widely accepted that whoever got the final place in the top 6 was coming 6th. If Saints achieve European football from that position it’s beyond impressive.

7 points form Rangers, Aberdeen and Dundee United is fantastic for anyone in the league. An away game against St Mirren on current form is definitely one of the hardest fixtures of the season.

Definitely.

I personally think that means they’re due to drop points though.

[green day]

We don't need to win this game, although it would help.

Even if Aberdeen win tomorrow, we might not need to win on Wednesday.

Honestly, there are some right panic merchants on here.

I'm not saying we aren't a good side, clearly we are. But they're the only team we haven't beaten this season, and we're playing them away.

I admit though that I'm the 'glass half empty' type. I might feel better if Rangers can win tomorrow. I just feel like I've seen this movie before, so close, but potentially just missing out on what we truly want, guaranteed Europe next season till Christmas.

Yes, that surely nullifies it. 😂😂

I'm cheery enough thank you. Although like most of us I'll be more cheerful if Aberdeen don't win tomorrow.

[1875Sean]

Looking back we haven’t beat them since September 2023 in the league, they are unbeaten in the last 5 against us and have hit some form, will be a tough game, can only hope rangers win tomorrow

[joe breezy]

We will need to beat St Mirren to get 3rd imo. Celtic are changing their team and that’s going to be a big difference. And I don’t see Aberdeen messing up at Ibrox. Rangers are done, can’t get themselves up for games that aren’t against Celtic.

[lucky]

FFS, if we were offered at the start of the season, we would have all jumped on it. We need to get a result in Paisley to finish third and get European football until Christmas. They are not a bad side, but they are 6th. We should go there with confidence and get the required result.

Agree. Loads of talk about Aberdeen, what team Celtic will play etc, but it’s still entirely in our own hands. Win on Wednesday and we finish third.

[Jones28]

Any prospect of this being on PPV? I’m down south for work this week.

[Daydreamer]

Look at it this way. If both Rangers and Celtic beat Aberdeen the next 2 Games we are in Europe till Xmas at least. Why would anyone not take that when the season started?

Has it been reported that Celtic are resting players during the week? So strongest team against us and weakened team against Aberdeen?

[Mcbizz1998]

We have no idea if we need to win this game or not. It will depend on today’s result and Aberdeen midweek.

There is a far from unlikely scenario where we can secure 3rd without winning another point. Let’s see where we are after today.

[Alfred E Newman]

Has it been reported that Celtic are resting players during the week? So strongest team against us and weakened team against Aberdeen?

They are in a fortunate position that they can rest players and not weaken the team. Their second string would more than likely still win the league comfortably.

[Hibs90]

Rodgers said yesterday there would be rotation midweek.

My feeling is that if Aberdeen are to beat either of the cheeks, it will be Celtic on Wednesday, rather than today.

[DIXIHIBS]

It's like some people thought when we got to 3rd other teams would just let us stay there. It was always going to be tough, possibly down to the last game. If we want 3rd, we need to show we are good enough. Let's stop worrying about what team Celtic put out against Dons etc. We are guaranteed 4th, let's get 3rd Hibees.

Agreed. Still chances for us to get 3rd ourselves regardless of the result today. If we don’t get a win in our next 2 games then we’ll only have ourselves to blame, or a referee 😂

where I’m at. It’s literally a choice between great and outstanding end to a year we looked like being relegated in November.

Celebrate no matter what- forget any misplaced angst :thumbsup:

[The Modfather]

I’m not sure why folk are so worried about 3rd, Aberdeen and St Mirren. Aberdeen have no margin for error and also hoping for favours from us. We should be able to comfortably match their result v Rangers. So that leaves Aberdeen essentially needing to beat both Celtc and Dundee Utd and hope we lose to St Mirren. Not impossible, but unlikely.

[Keith_M]

I don't care if Aberdeen lose every one of their remaining games, I just want us to (finally) beat bloody St Mirren!

Been at every one of the games against them this season and still pissed off at the crap results.

[we are hibs]

Best case scenario is Aberdeen lose their next two, we beat st.mirren then the last game V the Huns the shackles and pressure is off and we give them a hiding to end the season on a high. They're due one at Easter road in the top flight just like we are due st.mirren one in the league

Suppose Celtic can do what they want but when it is so crucial for Hibs or Aberdeen financially it just seems typical that Hibs get the wrong end of the stick 😟

[CentreForward]

Buddies will be right up for it as they’ve given themselves a real chance now of getting 5th place and Europe. Absolutely essential that Gers beat Dons today obviously.

[Cat Stanton]

If Aberdeen lose on Wednesday to Celtc, we are basically home and dry (because of goal difference).

[B.H.F.C]

It’s must win for St Mirren with them being at Parkhead last match. Robinson will have them well up for it. I hope we match that and I hope we go all out for the win. We beat them by playing our football, Hoilett has to be back in the team.

[Dashing Bob S]

Everything else is irrelevant. This is the one.

[JohnM1875]

Tell you what, some job St Mirren have done as well. Someone posted the table after the Aberdeen 3-3 game. St Mirren are a point ahead of us in 10th

Huge game, lets do it, Hibs!

I'll be surprised if we end up needing to take anything from either of our last two games. Pretty confident Celtic will best Aberdeen midweek.

No wonder to be fair.

Another, like McInnes I wouldn't be too keen on getting the job here. But based on the last few seasons its mental Hearts are going for McInnes over Robinson.

Over the last 3 seasons St Mirren have finished 6th , 5th and are now currently 6th again with the possibility of 5th again.

Killie have finished 10th , 4th and are currently 9th . I think you have a valid point there.

[B.H.F.C]

Get Miller back in for O'Hora too.

Miller for O’Hora, Cadden for Obita, Hoilett for Campbell and Bowie for Myko.

Obita has done well since Cadden been out but just think the time is right to change back now.

Hoilett has been playing really well and I don’t think he should have ever been left out really. Myko was poor on Saturday and Bowie looked quite lively when he came on so I’d make that change as well.

[Bristolhibby]

Celtic to beat Aberdeen on Wednesday. Then it’s all moot.

Celtic to also beat Aberdeen in the Cup Final for the treble.

[Pagan Hibernia]

I can see Aberdeen getting a draw out of a weakened celtic. In which case a draw will be enough for us in Paisley :flag:

They are a tough side to play against as we’ve seen plenty of times this season. Going to need to be ready to battle but also play our football. Get Hoilett straight back in

[EGL2000]

Same here when Bowie comes off the bench his impact is crazy but you don't see as much of that from the start. Think teams struggling to deal with the two different styles and the freshness of Bowie when they are all flagging.

[Jones28]

I'd make all those changes but probably still start Myko over Bowie currently.

Me too, it's a formula that's worked really well and Myko played his best game of this spell at the club against Dundee Utd.

Bowie coming on - Campbell too - made a huge difference in that game so I'd be looking at that and saying keep Bowie fresh and give Myko the start to tire them out.

[B.H.F.C]

I'd make all those changes but probably still start Myko over Bowie currently.

I can see the temptation in doing that, given what has went before, but I just thought Myko was really poor at the weekend. I know we were playing Celtic but just basic things. When Bowie came on, he got hold of the ball well and looked a threat. I just think this is a game on Wednesday where we win by having that extra bit of quality on the ball that we’d get from the likes of Cadden, Hoilett and Bowie

[Carheenlea]

What’s the 4G like in St Mirren Park?

If we’re not romping to victory ourselves there are going to be a lot of checking updates from Pittodrie.

Imaging the scenes if we lost after a dire performance, but Aberdeen similarly were soundly beaten, I wonder how joyous the celebrations would be at full time? Potential for a really unusual post match fans/players engagement :hilarious

I think because it was against Celtic I'd give him benefit of the doubt, not sold that Bowie would have been a marked improvement if he was the one starting instead. Myko has done well for us from the start in doing a lot of donkey work and being physical with centre halves. I get there's a sentiment that Bowie is a better player but whenever Bowie has started he's struggled to have the same impact as he does off the bench at the moment.

[green day]

Celtic are 1/7 with Skybet to be at least 2 goals up at full time.

Bookies do occasionally get it wrong, but I am pretty relaxed about the cup final.

Yeah me too. The sheep will probably give them a decent game on Wednesday but I'm still expecting a Celtic win. Can't see anything other then an easy Celtic win in the final.

[BILLYHIBS]

SDG needs to let the handbrake off unleash Miller ( if fit ) N Cadden and Hoilett just go for it and hopefully we come out the other end with at least a point

Would also take a look at midfield maybes tweak things slightly and look at a better combo as we are looking a wee bit predictable leggy and samey maybes NMW ?

Another issue is that Aberdeen match is kicking off 15 minutes later - which is totally wrong in circumstances.

[Donegal Hibby]

I'd make all those changes but probably still start Myko over Bowie currently.

In the game they beat Aberdeen 1-0 from what I seen of it they looked like they bullied/ bossed them all over park which is why I wonder will Gray keep with Campbell as it might be a game that is a physical battle or will he go with the creativity of Hoilett , again I can see a case for picking both players though

I’d probably stick with Myko and i’m hoping to see Miller and N. Cadden return to the first team too .

[McGruber]

Get Miller back in for O'Hora too.

We are better with Miller in there ahead of O'Hora both attacking and defending. O'Hora has been decent but lacks a bit of pace which was exposed a bit at Aberdeen and again in the Celtic game (hardly a crime, they are rapid).

[Thatdayinmay16]

I really hope he goes with Hoilett over Campbell and Miller back in for Ohora, both should have started at Celtic Park over the weekend imo.

Can see Nicky Cadden coming back in for the game as well but seeing how well Obita has played since coming into the side that'll be the hardest decision to make I think.

Only thing that frustrates me with the team selection is you'd normally not change a winning side, and both times going to Celtic park he's done that this season and it hasn't worked. Just hope he sticks with the same side that started Dundee United at home with the exception of Miller coming back in for Ohora that is.

[FastEddieFelson]

Quite a few tickets left for the home end...

In fairness any team selection other teams have picked going to parkhead haven’t worked either, at least 16 out of the 18 games haven’t anyhow.

[Thatdayinmay16]

True, however changing a side that's started and won games comfortably at home isn't something I imagine many managers do, Rocky looks much more comfortable next to Miller and Hoilett being better on the ball would have been better options at Celtic Park.

However the games done, just hope he reverts back to Miller and Hoilett rather than Campbell and Ohora.

Agree with Miller, Hoilett and N Cadden coming in. It's been interesting aswell that not only Obita getting the nod at the minute, each time Cadden has come on it hasn't been swapping out for Obita. Would add Obita has been playing really well

True, however changing a side that's started and won games comfortably at home isn't something I imagine many managers do, Rocky looks much more comfortable next to Miller and Hoilett being better on the ball would have been better options at Celtic Park.

However the games done, just hope he reverts back to Miller and Hoilett rather than Campbell and Ohora.

Had been thinking recently he's maybe struggled for fitness or something as he's only played 6 minutes since the Dundee game a month ago. Either that or he's not wanting to stay for next season and O'Hora is getting the nod.

The home games we won comfortably we did change the team in , like the Dundee one when both Bowie and Campbell came on in the 64 minute when we were narrowly winning 1-0 .

The Dundee Utd game that we were winning 2-0 that they pulled a goal back in we seem to be losing our way in until the substitutions all helped to turn it around in our favour again .

Personally I thought Campbell had a decent game against Celtic and playing him in that made sense as we needed his work rate and energy. Hoilett is better on the ball no question but in a game where we weren’t going to have a lot of it I’m not sure Hoilett would have been a better option than Campbell .

The one midfielder I thought had a quiet game against Celtic was Levitt IMO .

It has been a bit coincidental it came after the fairly short notice of his contract being extended. Miller has been very quiet since, which could suggest he wasn't keen on extending. I would be disappointed but to be fair to the lad he is improving quickly, and looked very solid since change in position, so maybe wants to see what else is out there, its a big world for footballers not stuck to staying in their home country, with potential for real rich rewards. I am hoping he will see the benefit to both of another good year here, if he then wants to move. Problem with that is we would have to accept losing him for nothing.

One of the downsides of rapidly improving young players. and an ongoing challenge in the modern footballing world.

He did miss out against Aberdeen with an injury so its perhaps just a lingering element of that meaning he's not been thrown back in. But like you I did find the timing of it interesting and more thinking out loud on it as I'm in the camp of if he wanted to stay we'd have had him tied down longer than the one year clause.

[Ronniekirk]

St Mirren the only club outside the OF who have been top six the last three seasons. Robinson has done okay.

More than ok Tony Fitzpatrick talked up top six so often and it rarely materialised So to achieve this is a great effort
Particularly this year when the race was so tight
And so far they are unbeaten in top six while we have lost two
And that despite selling one of Thier better strikers going into the top six would be amazed if no one else comes in for him

Yes, it's going to be a real battle. They will be desperate to try to overhaul United for 5th, and we've not beaten them this season.

If Dun Utd lose both remaining games and St Mirren pick up 3 points against Celtic at Celtic Park they would finish 1 point ahead.

I'm surprised at some the comments about St Mirren, they are a decent industrial well organised team. They are 6th for a reason, they are not as good as the teams above them. You would think we were playing Barcelona away instead of them

When was the last time we beat every team in a league season?

[scoopyboy]

I can see Aberdeen getting a draw out of a weakened celtic. In which case a draw will be enough for us in Paisley :flag:

Celtic won’t put out a weak team against Aberdeen, they are chasing a goals record and will be wanting to make sure Aberdeen dont get any confidence prior to the final.

I actually don’t think Celtic are capable of putting out a weak team, some may be stronger than others but none are weak and it will look stronger on paper than anything Aberdeen can pick

[AlbertK86]

SDG needs to let the handbrake off unleash Miller ( if fit ) N Cadden and Hoilett just go for it and hopefully we come out the other end with at least a point

Would also take a look at midfield maybes tweak things slightly and look at a better combo as we are looking a wee bit predictable leggy and samey maybes NMW ?

Sorry wouldn’t have NMW anywhere near it v saints. Need players eh can keep the ball. Strongest team possible for me and I’d go with Miller in for OHara and Hoilett in for Campbell.

1977/78 but it was a 10 team league. We have only done it 3 times. Had Covid about 6 weeks ago, was bored lying in bed and checked back every season. 1897 and 1948 the other ones.

[Shrekko]

All I ask is that we don't approach this game in the same way we did at Pittodrie. I'm still pretty shocked at that and just feel there was no need - especially seeing since how awful Aberdeen are.

Firstly he wasn’t even the worst player in the Aberdeen game which we only narrowly lost and secondly nobody has won at parkhead in the league all season apart from the huns and it was a game Campbell played ok in and was involved in us scoring to a degree . I’m happy if Gray goes with Hoilett over Campbell though with Levitt who’s been pretty anonymous recently we have no dig in midfield against a fairly physical team IMO.

He gave away possession less than Campbell while having the ball more often. He also had both the most tackles and most interceptions of any Hibs player - Campbell had zero for both despite supposedly being in their to make us better defensively.

This

I wasn't at Pittodrie so can't really comment...

... but was the approach to that game all that bad?

We were playing a better team, in decent enough form, away from home. Does that not sometimes require a different approach to the one where we're attacking weaker teams at home and winning every week?

The performance and approach was very close to picking up the desired result, it wasn't miles from being exactly what we wanted. Is there not a chance that the approach we'd been using in other games would have seen us beaten more comprehensively and seen us further from picking up the good result we wanted?

[Donegal Hibby]

Campbell was no worse than anyone else and in fact there were a few poorer than him in the Aberdeen game , multiple players were slightly below par but even at that we hit the post and they score a wonder goal … Fine margins unfortunately…

The Celtic game to single out a player in I don’t think is fair as Celtic have swept away every team going there and have dished out a few right hammerings apart from twice . I think we need to be realistic about the gulf that now exists when travelling to play them …

Understand if you want Hoilett in because he’s more creative than Campbell but to be blaming Campbell solely for a narrow defeat to Aberdeen and losing to a team that everyone else struggles to beat really is some going when looking for a stick to blame the player for ! .

Sorry , I just don’t remember him being that involved in the game . You mention Campbell not helping defensively?..

The last home game Celtic had before we went there they were 4-0 up after 25 minutes . They then went to Dundee Utd and pumped them 5-0 . Hertz went there and were 3-0 down by the time we lost our first goal .

Dundee United aren’t in the bottom six though , neither are Sevco who they beat 3-0 there . The point is Celtic generally beat everyone there and normally you’re in danger of getting a right doing there . Blaming a player for losing there is a pretty mad take really considering the difference in quality.

[Paul1642]

All I ask is that we don't approach this game in the same way we did at Pittodrie. I'm still pretty shocked at that and just feel there was no need - especially seeing since how awful Aberdeen are.

I agree that the approach to the Aberdeen game seemed wrong. Whether or not the approach was actually to play for a draw and try to sneak a win if possible or if the performance simply didn’t match the game plan, I guess we’ll never know.

If that was the approach, despite disagreeing with it, you can see the rational in what was a 6 pointer game, where stopping Aberdeen winning would have been very important.

Gray has no such consideration to make against St Mirren who mathematically can’t catch us so I’m not worried about us going for anything except a win. Hopefuly we’re up to the task.

Gray might will go for Hoilett as he’s more creative , have no problem with it if he does . I personally picked Campbell because I think they are quite a physical team and it’s likely the ball will be in the air a fair bit and Campbell gives us energy , work rate and he’s probably suited to a physical battle as well as being good in the air too ..

I understand why others want Hoilett in and can see the reasoning behind why Gray could choose either of them . Whoever he chooses I just hope we win 👍

I know there's the argument that it almost worked but I still would have said the same if we'd got the draw.

At the time we were starting to utterly dominate teams and control games but it was just like we voluntarily decided we couldn't do it that week. Yes, Aberdeen are marginally better than some other SPFL teams but we'd beaten them very comfortably in our 2 most recent games - we're quite simply a lot better than them. Instead of continuing to back ourselves though we made it very clear from early on we were there to slow things down, defend deep and let them have a tonne of possession. It didn't feel like our natural approach. It's true that most of the time we defended (very) well but when you allow teams to come at you there always the chance of a wonder strikes or a lucky break at your end of the park.

Not saying we need to go gung ho but lets remember we are the better team despite how well St Mirren have done and their recent record against us.

Even though I think he’s been poor the last two away games I’ve picked him for my team to play St Mirren because players will have poor games at times and against Celtic our players should be cut some slack considering the difference between the teams.😉

I think it's entirely possible (probable?) that Gray was resting hoilett and Nicky madden for this game. as much as we'd have loved a result at Celtic Park, it was always less likely than against st Mirren. agree we need those two to start, take the game to them - from what I've seen they better offensively than defensively so lets get them on the back foot.

confident we'll match Aberdeens result at least GGTTH!

In fairness I never blamed him but I do believe we’d have done a lot better had Gray stuck to his best eleven in both games instead of trying to be ‘defensive.’

Especially up at Aberdeen. It was a typical Campbell performance, do very little, miss a great chance yet somehow he stayed on the pitch.

It’s no coincidence that he hardly plays when we are expected to have more of the ball but as has been pointed out he contributes little defensively too.

Having energy only gets you so far when it’s not backed up by even a minimal skillset.

Needs to offer a lot more and thankfully we have a far superior player coming in next term.

I think you did tbh when you singled him out in what was two very difficult away games and even stated that he was ‘ Horrendous’ which simply wasn’t the case at all .

Because Campbell played doesn’t mean we went defensive as you can see here..

https://youtu.be/mDWxap6YiBc?si=5N6GrN1c29XYzfND

He won a flick on that helped in our equaliser which he done a few times in our 1-0 defeat to them but for some reason nobody was picking them up . I think he was unlucky in hitting the post , talking the difference in inches. As I said ‘ fine margins …

Personally I thought the Aberdeen game was a must win for them and a draw would have been a decent result for us , maybe that affected the players somewhat . I definitely don’t think Gray set us up to go looking for a draw at Pittodrie though..

Having a player that has energy, works hard , good in the air and gets in good goal scoring positions while regularly contributing to the team is good to have . He has played in most of our big games like hertz, Aberdeen etc and has played in 9 of the 17 games we went unbeaten.

I agree we have a very good player coming in though more the merrier as if we get 3rd we are going to need all the good players we have which includes Josh Campbell too .

Didn't get the breaks and Nisbet turns up with a great finish.

Bowie hasn't (yet) been effective at all as a starter. I know he will be next season but at the moment he's far more effective as a sub. Myko has been good recently- I'm not sure if Bowie at the moment could give us a 65 minutes like he gave us recently v United.

Myko is also not as good an impact sub as Bowie.

[CapitalGreen]

We had more possession and more shots at goal at Pittodrie than when we beat them 2-0 at ER.

Didn't get the breaks and Nisbet turns up with a great finish.


The quality of chances was a lot lower in the away meeting. 1.94xG at Easter Road compared to 1.17xG at Pittodrie. The number of touches the team had was similar across both games (530 v 544), so we had pretty much the same amount of the ball in both.

Bowie was effective as a starter when we beat Celtic at Easter Road. Also, he’s also only ever had the benefit of starting one game with Hoilett rather than Campbell behind him. A striker will look a lot more effective with a creative number 10 behind them, just look how much Hoilett coming in has improved Myko’s game in recent weeks.

[GreenCastle]

Last away game v St Mirren - remember how bad the ref was and the red card - mental.

We are good enough to win tonight - as always feels like the first goal will be crucial.

We do well when we start well - wear teams down and then bring quality off the bench too.

Game is on PPV for any fans wanting to watch it who aren’t attending.

Remember give plenty time with traffic and roadworks on M8 for anyone going to the match.

All good points - I'd actually forgotten about the Celtic game which Bowie played very well in.

We are also definitely more fluid when Hoillet plays and he does bring out the best in players around him. I'm always disappointed when he's not playing.

[USA_Hibee]

Going to be a really tough game. Struggling to predict a scoreline. Just got to hope the boys are up for it and play to their best.

Youve got to hope the thought of Europe will give the players enough motivation to play at their best. That's all we can ask for.

There was a good analysis by the Hibs Observer guys after the Aberdeen match showing how Bowie and Campbell were regularly making the same run and occupying the same space in that match which blunted our attack.

[basehibby]

The only team in the league we haven’t beaten this season. Be nice to change that on Wednesday.

I wonder how many times Hibs have beat every other team in the league? Certainly not in my time supporting Hibs which started in the late 70s. And that's the main reason I'm desperate to see us win Wed - not because it will guarantee us 3rd (although a victory most certainly would) - would just love to see this team achieve that :pray:

Yeah -I find it strange when people say that when Campbell plays it's to stiffen up the midfield, bring 'energy', or whatever. To me he plays so high up the park that we get disjointed in the middle and give up a lot of control. His involvement in 'midfield' is often minimal - I believe that he had less touches than Jordan Smith in that game. I'm sure he's doing exactly as he's being told, but it changes the way we play quite a lot. I think when we have that Levitt, Triantis, and Hoillet triangle we not only retain possession better but we're able to get the wide men more involved. If Josh starts we really need some goal contributions from him (which he is capable of) to justify it.

Less touches than Mitov & Smith in the game against Aberdeen yes, Hoilett should start IMO, one of the stick out performers in our last 10 games or so.

If we want to control the game in the middle of the park and ensure we get and keep a lot of the ball then it's Hoilett again, bring JC on for him around the 65/70 min mark to help run at St Mirren and get us up the pitch. It's worked against the sides below us in previous games and I see no reason to change it.

JC in the midfield didn't work in the earlier game of the season against St Mirren away, so it would be better to change it IMO.

If there is an opposite thing to a scapegoat, that’s what Campbell is to you.

No really seen much in the way of him being blamed for individual defeats. But in the case of the Aberdeen game his inclusion totally changed the way we played. Celtic game might not have made much of a difference.

[500miles]

Less touches than Mitov & Smith in the game against Aberdeen yes, Hoilett should start IMO, one of the stick out performers in our last 10 games or so.

If we want to control the game in the middle of the park and ensure we get and keep a lot of the ball then it's Hoilett again, bring JC on for him around the 65/70 min mark to help run at St Mirren and get us up the pitch. It's worked against the sides below us in previous games and I see no reason to change it.

JC in the midfield didn't work in the earlier game of the season against St Mirren away, so it would be better to change it IMO.

St Mirren are good at picking up second balls, so having Campbell start to win flick ons and headers probably isn’t what you want. You could flatten the midfield 3 if you wanted use him more combatitively, but you don’t get a great deal from Levitt in that kind of midfield. When we done that against Celtic, Campbell and NMW were an absolute menace, competed for everything and tracked every runner.


I think St Mirren will try and limit us down the flanks, so id hope that would give Hoilett, Levitt and Triantis space to play around with and let our strikers get right up against their back 3.

[Mcbizz1998]

I reckon we get a point tonight but Aberdeen lose and it’s enough.

Football fans do not need a scapegoat. Talking about players abilities does not make someone a scapegoat, it's opinions.

All teams have weaknesses , most of our players do or we wouldn’t have them . Im only quoting what was said elsewhere which is something I tend to agree as it’s not really talk about players abilities but more often than not it’s mostly about one certain player and it’s not even talking about the players abilities but more unfair criticism like blame for losing a couple of games .

[Donegal Hibby]

Sorry but you have your facts all wrong in it wasn’t me that responded first . I seen somebody put up the team they would like to start , I did the same and someone else responded because they didn’t like that I had picked Campbell which is fair enough as everyone is entitled to their opinion though I wasn’t prepared to go along with made up stuff about how he was at fault in recent defeats and how horrendously bad a player he is which I thinks nonsense.

I leave it there and don’t mind who plays as long as we get a result . Go for 2-1 Boyle and Myko 👍

You can't argue with his last 3 seasons on a tight budget ..... IMO we will do well to win there tonight and we'll have to be well up for it.

Always like Robinson and thought he comes across very well. Speaks well, presentable, articulate and quite funny. His work at Motherwell and St Mirren is underrated and if things weren't going so well here, would be my first choice. Think he'll get a gig down south soon.

Last night was St Mirren’s largest crowd of the season (7,601).

They’re a club getting things right and have a good base to build on.

From Twitter

“ Last night was our biggest crowd of the season (7,671) in our last home match, giving an average attendance of 6,967 in the league for 2024/25, a 5% increase on last season and our highest at the current ground. It was also our highest average league attendance since 1990/91.

No reason why they can’t continue to provide a stern test for opponents next season and be challenging for Europe.

I don't give a **** about St Mirren. I was on Facebook last night after the game and a St Mirren item appeared on the newsfeed. I was going to post a comment saying they've got a good team and they deserve a shot at Europe, but nearly all their comments were really anti-Hibs. 2 of them said we'd cheated our way to 3rd place.
