Yogi: What to do now?

[allmodcons]

With Bamba out for 6 weeks or maybe gone for good, I'd move Murray in alongside Hogg and play Lewis at LB.

Other option is to make 1 straight change (might help us maintain shape) by leaving Murray at LB and moving either Hanlon or Thicot straight in at CB with Hogg.

What would you do and what do you think Yogi will do?

Hmmm? Thicot when played in that postion has done OK, however he has not played this season, so don't think he is in Yogi's plans.

Would prefer to keep Murray where he is, he has done a decent job at LB and too much changing about could unsettle the team.

I would agree with a single change, Hanlon or Thicot for me at CB.

I think he'll offer £100k for Barr and also get in the Icelandic guy that was on trial.

[brydekirk]

hanlon has been MOTM in his last 2 games and yogi expressed hes willing to give him a chance

[Hibby Cam]

id buy a good ch el pronto............... but it looks like he's looking at that so will trust his judgement, it has gotten us where we are so far........ would imagine murray will be at ch against rankgers but hey,who knows interesting to see if drogba and co are missing next week tho

Still have to deal with Rangers, St Johnstone and probably Hearts before the Barr deal could be struck.

The way Yogi has been talking Young Hanlon up recently, i get the impression he will be coming in.

also he is left sided which would be best with Hogg a right footer. He is taller than Murray as well.

1 change better to keep system etc. also we need Murray LB as gers wingers are on fire last 2 matches

PS. does not say much for Bamba / IC that they have apparently let Drogba / Toure arrive late but they / Bamba have not done so in Hibs Case

Hanlon is a superb prospect and a future Hibs captain IMO..

Get him in the side asap now big Sol is offski..

[Forza Fred]

I'd sign Craig Moore for the rest of the season - replacing one world cup buond centre half with another.

At the same time I'd groom Hanlon as a permanent replacement - he'd be all the better for fine tuning his trade under Moore.

Now is not the time to throw him in at the deep end - he's got years ahead of him.

[goosano]

I don't think Yogi will do anything other then put an experienced player ie IM at centre half for the big game against the Huns. Hope Hanlon gets his chance after that though

I wouldn't bother with Moore, Thicot has shown himself more than capable when he's come in to play CH, and this is perhaps a good opportunity to give Hanlon a run to see how he does.

Would definitely keep Murray at left back though, he's been fantastic there.

[Dashing Bob S]

Hanlon for me.

We're all sitting discussing who to buy when we have the best young left sided centre half in Scotland already at the club.

He's only going to develop more by playing games regularly for the first team.

[col02]

This John Hughes aint quite as daft as some think eh? I mean he has had Hanlon playing against some decent opposition in bounce games in a position that will require filling for 6 weeks at the very least. The laddie is actually match sharp despite the ridiculous decision to scrap the reserve league in Scotland.

[brydekirk]

[Baw187]

It's a toughie.

Go with IM which is a tried and tested option that has proven to be solid or stick the young prodigy in, which will always be a gamble.

Do we want to be taking unforced gambles in our current prediciment? Especially when the first game is against Rangers?

PH may or may not handle that but I'd like to see IM in for that game and maybe bring in Paul for the Saints game.

[Thegreenside]

i think that hanlon and thicot could be bullied by boyd and maybe nade for that reason i would put murray CB

[brydekirk]

i think yogi has someone coming in on the 1st, hope we can keep it together until then.

[hibeeleicester]

Shame thicot is not in yogis plans

I would have him in for the huns game. Remember that game against the yams

Thicot is also still quite young, he needs a chance

Thankyou !!!!!!!!!!!!

[CmoantheHibs]

Hanlon for me.As little disruption to the team as possible and let the laddie get on and do his job.

[Hibbyradge]

The leasst amount of changes as possible, please.

Leave Murray where he is and bring in Hanlon or Thicot.
