Was impressed with that 3-5-2 set up through the week. Would like to see that again against Killie using the 5 in midfield to stop them playing through us. Back 3 would need simple instructions so that we don't lose goals in the same manner as The Rangers. Especially Killie's second.

Latest Met Office weather, report suggests light rain, but windy for KO tomorrow
Good to see weather worrying thread starting.
Strong winds, artificial pitch, the match against BSC will have been a useful one as a "practice" match for this one.Quote:

Maybe 352 helps this
The big games keep on coming. Strangely (or worryingly) confident. I think we have a right good balance in the team at the minute
Same formation as Wed for me BW 3-4-1-2 the only decision he has to make for me is Slivka or Omeonga....Skivka did well the other night but I'd go for the wee manQuote:

Played really well on wed especially first half, dare I say it even defensively we looked better, hopefully he goes for the same team harsh on omeonga to miss out but I think if we can get a run of consistency with line ups and formation it’ll help massively.Quote:

For me, you never change a winning side. If all are available, the same 11 go again.
Much more difficult game than Wednesday, same team , the whole team played well.
Were on front foot right from the off last Wednesday , same today with same fast passing from the back throughout the whole team.
Went for 3-0 previous thread for Ross County game ( then changed to 3-1 with Shaw scoring last minute )
3-2 Hibs today. Doidge , McNulty , A N Other.
Boyle to get kicked all over the park several times by Killie player before Ref thinks about booking them. 1st booking to be a Hibs player.

McNulty Doidge
Newell as a LWB gets more space than he would as a winger so whilst it’s not his natural position, he can adapt a bit easier to it, plus his delivery is far better than Lewis’s.
Slivka done well but Omeonga is a better player. The energy he and Docherty bring to the middle will be important against Killie.
Allan is key to unlock the runs of Boyle and McNulty whilst Doidge holds the play up well and creates those spaces.
Killie are decent and I’m predicting goals with Hibs edging it 2-3 or 1-2.
Wednesday was imo, one of our best performances of the season. Some of the passing, movement and pace of play was brilliant to watch.
Killie are a good team and hard to beat but if we replicate Wednesday we will win.
They will go direct however with the big lad and Brophy up top, both wingers can be dangerous too with Power and Dicker anchoring the midfield.
Hope we go the same formation after how well we played, only possible change would be Slivka out for Omeonga, Whittikar or Hallberg.
Really wouldn’t like to see Stevenson at wing back.
Huge game for us, let’s do it hibs!
9/4 Hibs or 9/2 Ht Ft seem quite generous
Marciano
McGinn Jackson Hanlon
Boyle Docherty Newell Stevenson
Allan
Doidge McNulty
Same team as started on Wednesday please
In Kilmarnock now, blowing an absolute gale. Completely different from Ayr.
I'd imagine they will have made arrangements for the referee to arrive early.
As I said earlier, meant to be heavy rain and winds of 60mph throughout the game according to BBC Weather App.Quote:

Would rather Whittaker than Omeonga on the astro, as much as I rate Stephane
If we and Livngston win today, and assuming we are in the top six, the run-in for 3rd and 4th after the split could be very tasty indeed.

It would be a farce as it is just now.Quote:

Didn't think this one through. Piles of Huns on my train through to the weege.
Can’t help but feel the conditions will suit Killie a lot more than us
Same team. Great performance on Wednesday and consistency is a good thing. A win and we aren’t too far away from 4th. C’mon Hibs
As a time-served watcher of Hibs I can say with confidence and certainty I have absolutely no idea what to expect today.
