With McBride being suspended, why not play Ian Murray in there and leave Hanlon at Left back, Murrays best position in my opinion is Left Midfield. Deeks and Stokes up front again.

In my opinion Murray, although a brilliant servant to the club and a great Hibby, is past it. Think the legs are gone and in recent months its started to show, and therfore wouldnt have him in the midfield. Would go with a flat four of Galbraith, Miller, De Graff, Wotherspoon.

i'd like to see murray as a sitting midfielder or the famous "matty jack role." Not a lot of running, just stopping attacks coming through the middle and forcing the ball out wide or back into our possession IMO of course, not everyone else's

hard one to call this, if Hart never got injured i would have liked to see a flat 4 of wotherspoon, de graff, miller and galbraith but its most likely that galbraith will be pulled to right back.
i think yogi will totally fluck this up and shuffle the pack to his old ways of nish and stokes up front
deek, miller, rankin and de graff making the midfield (assuming deek recovers in time)
and probibly leaving Murray out all to gether maybe a place on the bench. as a side note i woudl love to see stephens getting a start/more game time alongside bamba there both tall athelitc playes who are good on the ball think stephens could learn a lot form bamba.

As Hart and McBride are out,
i'd have Wotherspoon at RB, Hanlon at CH in place of Hogg, and Murray LB.
With Galbraith at LM. Not a big Rankin fan at all but think he's worth a slot in beside Miller in place of mcBride.
Wotherspoon..............SOL..................Hanl on.................Murray
Edwin................Miller..................Ranki n....................Galbraith
.....................Ant and Deeks.................................

Wotherspoon Bamba Hanlon and Murray as the back 4 De Graff Miller Rankin and Galbraith for the midfield and Stokes and Riordan up front. Thats my prediction for Sunday.

Whilst I think we will miss big Sol at Centre half, this could be the chance for the team to have a shake up and put Sol in as the holding midfielder.
Thicot Hogg Hanlon Murray
Spoony Sol Miller Galbraith
Ant Deeks.
This would give us the width we crave, let Miller get forward, whilst big Sol sits and gives a bit of protection for the defence.
(would prefer either Stephens or Murray at Centre half, but we all know Hogg is there to stay!).

I was just about to post something along the same lines. Some of Sol's tackling on Sunday was superb. I couldn't help but think that if could win the ball like that a bit further up the pitch, we wouldn't cause ourselves so many problems. Bamba playing in front of the back four is worth a shout

We have a couple of options. I like SOL in midfield as he is effective at breaking up oposition attacks. On the other hand he is more prone to getting booked in midfield than he is in defence because he is involved more. Stephens or Hanlon could fit in. Murray will probably go to left back. Hanlon and Stephens on the bench and Rankin brought in for McBride. Wotherspoon at right back. Those are the safest options but maybe not the most adventurous. SOL will stay at CB I think.

IM last heard of still chasing that Maribor forward. No, his legs have gone. Can see him central dee-fence a couple of times then freed and heading to Forfar via Falkirk in Jan.

Murray has played left back or auxiliary centre half for most of his career how do people know that he is good at reading the game in midfield?

Although I share people's concerns re: Murray's legs and suitability for LB, I certainly wouldn't write him off just yet.
He was such a key performer last season up until he signed his new contract (which was great news at the time). I too would like to see him at CH but that's not gonna happen with Bamba still here. I still think he could do a job in midfield, but don't think Yogi fancies that.

It was just a thought, as we clearly can't continue to pick almost the same team every week and lose 2 -3 goals a game.

will hart and riordan be fit for sunday? if so, same team as agianst the huns with murray replacing mcbride as he could do the job just as well as mcbride and galbraith to replace de graaf, who in my opinion will be nothing more than a squad player this season, describing him running like lee evans somes him up perfectly, never a hibs regular!!!
