So is it the same starting line up as Thursday for Hibs?
JR mentioned post match there would probably be some changes for the weekend or words to that effect. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Doig come back in and possibly Cadden for Allan in a 3-5-2. I don’t think Allan deserves to lose his place but it may be a case of managing his fitness.
It’ll no doubt be a turgid game due to the opposition where a moment of quality might just be the difference so I would expect Allan to get good chunk of the game either way whether thats starting or the last half hour.
Yeah been caught out a couple of times this season but he’s going to have to learn and at least he will be able to compete on height. Lewis won’t stand a chance with some of the crosses.
Hopefully 3 centre backs would give us more bodies in the box to defend the crosses as they will no doubt be targeted as a weakness for us this season.
When is Wood going to get an opportunity?
For me Scotty has to start even if it's only for 45 minutes he has the ability to unlock turgid defences. It is imperative we get the first goal.
Magennis was absolutely dead on his feet so wont be overly surpised if he's rested
Depends on how he recovers

Hibs are at home and need to start with a brighter tempo.
Need to try something different against St Johnstone so Allan to start for me.
As Calum, Davidson last season,seemed to have some pre match mystic knowledge of Hibs formation and tactics and dealt with it accordingly.Let the smartass work this one out.
Formation 4-4-2
Dabrowski
Cadden,McGregor,Wood.Stevenson
Henry,Gogic,Allan,Mackay,
Scott,Gullan
Not going to happen,but sometimes you have to do some “blue water thinking” (whatever that means) to come at things from a different angle.
Is it a big game tomorrow?…
Hibs need to win tomorrow.
Octobers games will see the 1st round of fixtures complete and our true standing revealed.
Rangers and Aberdeen away and Dundee Utd and Celtic at home is a tough run.
A draw at Aberdeen and a win at home against Dundee Utd is 4 points to add to what we have after tomorrow.
That will probably see us in 4th place behind Hearts.
Hibs are currently 4 point behind a reasonable schedule after 2 draws to bottom 6 teams.
Hearts are 1 point ahead of a reasonable schedule after 1 draw against a bottom 6 team and a win against one side of the OF.
In conclusion we need a win tomorrow given our rivals for 3rd won today.
That's what I would do Billy with Doig playing in the left wing back role. Stevenson doesn't deserve to dropped after Thursday night but if he goes 3 at the back it allows Doig more freedom to play to his strength which is obviously attacking. Will Ross do that.....I would doubt it as it would mean dropping McGinn IMO and he made him vice captain
Stupid post, similar to the one you were replying to.
FWIW it was me who mentioned the thing about big games being weighted, it’s not a difficult concept. Some big games will mean more to some people than other big games and the idea they can all be bundled together as big games is flawed. I gave my opinion without being disrespectful or acting like a smart arse, I backed it up with my thoughts on the relevant thread, you are perfectly entitled to disagree with it, running off to other threads to try and take the piss makes you look like a prick IMO.
Can we try and keep this thread civil and on topic please.
There are a few 'jokes' that are being repeated across several threads that are starting to wear thin. By all means argue your point with posters you disagree with, repeatedly mocking others on multiple threads is not something we have ever tolerated and we won't be starting now.
