Haven't seen this anywhere else. Hibs beat ICT 3-0 yesterday at East Mains with goals from Doyle, Caldwell and Monaghan. Was a young team apparently with no trialists.

Strange thing was that Victor Palsson was playing even though he had been told he would be leaving. Hart was also playing at CH but did not look much better than his normal performance.

They didn't score so it has to be an improvement on letting two in at a 2nd div club

The lack of transfer activity is a concern.

Concerned a bit at the lack of activity however we need a wee but if quality . We don't want to be in the same position in 12 months.
As for Hart at CB sorry but I would rather we had Hanlon and Stephens in there .
If we could muster 3 CH I would play a 3 5 2 with spoony and Booth as wing backs along with Ozzy, Lewis and a n other in the middle with Doyle and GOC up front ( that's if he's fit and still here.
Hopefully get another CH and MF in by weekend (creative MF but cannot really see it TBH)
Wishful thinking. Need to play it tight but if we don't concede then I am sure we can score.

I've seen mention of these 'bounce' games over the years here, but can someone please define, to a non-Scot, what exactly is a 'bounce' game?
Cheers.

HIya - original definition of a 'bounce game' would be when a gang of lads turned up at the local park, picked sides and had a game. It's now used in pro football to describe training games arranged between league sides to give squad players a run out or to judge trialists, and they've become very common in SPL since the abandonment of the reserve league as reserve games used to fill that function.
Sin e!Philly McGuinness, Leitrim GAA, died playing in a club match for Mohill. He epitomised all that is best about sport, making a 6 hour round trip to training three times a week from his workplace in Mayo, and was never late. His motto was 'Give it all, or give nothing'. One for all sportsmen to consider.

Get jordan forster in at centre half. Attacks every high ball and in my opinion is better than any ch at the club.

Even under Bobby Williamson - when we weren't doing very well and with a limited budget - we played the young, hungry players like Scott Brown etc who over time grew into better players.
Last season Booth was like this in an otherwise poor season - this season - we haven't seen anyone make the step up

However I wondered if PF was looking at Hart as an alternative.
If he doesn't go with Stephens and Hanlon I wouldn't be against Jordan Forster as Brooster has suggested.
Big strong laddie who is no slouch.

Just watched the Higlights and O Hanlon at fault for both. Done like a kipper . Yeah Hanlon paps the ball to Cameron but where's the MF.
Ball gets humped in and OHanlon dives in for first and is nowhere for 2nd, good finish mind you but should of been closer.
I would play Steohens and Hanlon but what about them at CB with Towell sweeping??
**** knows.

Is Nid fit (or suspended) ? Every time he has deputised at centre half I always thought he was more than capable. Dunfermline play with Kirk/Barrowman up top who for me are not the most mobile of strikers nor the most combative in the air.

Teams havent been successful playing 3 at the back for a number of years now, mainly due to the increase of sides playing 3 up or centre forward with two advanced wingers. Wing backs have to drop back to cover them leaving midfield undermanned and exposed, especially a midfield as weak as ours.
To make that formation work you need a superb midfield, which we obviously dont, even if we add this creative midfielder we need. The last time we played it we had Latapy, O'Neil and Jack who as a unit were absolutely outstanding and knew theirs and their team-mates roles inside out. I dont think we have enough guys with the talent, tactical discipline or game intelligence to make it work and would just have the ball knoacked around us in simple triangles.
