John Hughes has many of us feeling as positive as we have been in years. He talks a marvellous game (in a great Leith accent) and his interviews on the official site have made good viewing. He comes across as intelligent and astute with a real passion for the science of management and he seems able to man-manage to an extent that we have not been used to. The player interviews seem to confirm this.
The feeling for him is there, these is a groundswell of belief and a potentail momentum to take us through the first five games on a real high and on to a great season. It all starts with a convincing win on Saturday. What a massive game!

Just How Big is Saturday's Game?

I don't think we should set ourselves up too much for Saturday, there is another 43 (?) games after that one. It's too early to judge.

I am generally over-optimistic about anything Hibs. I have put money on us winning the league and the cup every year since 1971. I have no idea what the odds are this year but I will do the same again before Saturday.
I feel that the first 5 games are set up for us in a way that we could really take off and that a bad result on Saturday will send me into a deep depression, more so than all the other years. It's probably the higher level of expectation before the fall, that kind of stuff.

Will the knives be out for Hughes if we lose on Saturday?
A lot of fans are expecting big things from Hibs this year and this is without 2 of our most influential players that left during the close season - Chisholm and O'Brien................Fletcher and Jones.
It is a big ask for Hughes to suddenly make Hibs play the way we want and get results that we want after the dirge of last season.
I'm quite happy to sit back and allow Hughes time to develop Hibs over the next few season, if we can see a year on year improvement, moving up the league placing's and cup runs, playing a decent brand of football, then I will be happy.
Roll on Saturday!!

I expect us to bag all 3 points but provided that we put on a good display (important that we score as well) it won't be all doom and gloom if we get less than a win. The main thing is that Hearts get beat and Nade continues his impressive goalscoring record of .000000000001 goals per game.

I would love to see us get off to a flier as its the start of my first season with a season ticket but even if we don't then i won't be devastated. TM's first league game was a defeat and that season was the best i've seen.

They've then signed mainly no-marks. What makes you think they will be stronger?
It took a red card for Fletcher for them to record their only victory against us last season, when we were dire. I have seen nothing to suggest that they'll be stronger than us this season, tbh.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

weve sold fletcher and jones and not replaced either. Bamaba i fear is wasted at CB instead of midfield and out midfield doesnt look any great shakes with the exception of zemmama. Obviously ill not judge cregg and mcbride till I have seen a lot more of them play but they way i see it hearts may well have lost some influential players but so have hibs. Jones was/is irriplaceable so it will be interesting to see what happens in that department DVZ is pish and mccann still coming back form injury, ive yet to see a named left back so dunno who is going to be playing there.
Liek i said I hate hearts and Hate seeing them do well but realistically speaking i jsut think they me be just that bit stronger than us over the course of the season. Ill happil y take another 4 league games unbeaten though

Unfortunately, we're still short of quality players in the team. If the first pick squad is all fit and on form, there's the makings of a decent side (with still one or two positions to be filled, e.g. Fletchers role).
I'm concerned that when any of the players we rely on is out, there aren't yet quality replacements for those positions. For example, if Zouma or Deeks (or even both!) is injured, what then?
