Is it just the East and West Stands open on saturday?
You could say that about any of the group games really and Kenneh ends up without any football by the time the league starts.Quote:

If he’s a good DM he’ll be the one getting on the ball deep and getting us playing anyway.
Yup, if people think Kenneh is just going to be breaking up play and that’s it then they haven’t been paying attention, there appears to me more to his game than that.Quote:

Are we still waiting for Magennis? Feels like years and years.Quote:

But in a good way this time.
Would be a good one for the admins to turn into a competition.
It wouldn't surprise me if no one calls the starting eleven correctly.
I reckon Porteous will be made captain. They mic'd him up during one of the games.Quote:

Doig
Delferriere
Newell
McGeady
Henderson
Tavares
Youan
I know it's only preseason where we weren't under huge pressure defensively but I'm surprised more haven't gone with McLelland at CB...
I thought Rocky was flapping a bit for at least one of the goals conceded and another couple of chances over the two games in Portugal.
Also don't think LJ rates Rocky very much (neither do I), I'd be surprised to see him in the starting 11.
I'd like to see Bojang involved, he will need a decent run to get up to speed for the opening league game. does anyone know if he's joined up with the squad yet?
We only conceded 2 goals in the two matches and I'm sure Rocky was only on the pitch when we conceded one of those goals. Would this be the goal he was flapping at?Quote:

Having said that, the angle that the ball was crossed low at, it should have been someone from midfield to cut it out or put in the tackle and not Rocky.Quote:

Someone fresh and without baggage would be good.
We will have a new captain for this game. Who do you suggest should take over from Hanlon overall. Just to help him with the trauma he's been through.Quote:

Just can't see any change of captain going down well with the squad. Especially if it's a new player brought in by LJ. Hanlon will remain captain I reckon.
Yes that's the one, the cross goes right through him.Quote:

I hate that he's been put through abuse by some numbskulls in our support and I do not condone that but I don't think he's good enough to start for Hibs.
Ryan Broom 25 year old right midfielder at Peterborough It's 😁Quote:
