Fraser Mullen

[YehButNoBut]

Just wondered what everyone's view would be on Mullen starting tomorrow.

IMO he would be better missing out or at least on the bench as think it would be a tough game for him if he does start with the Hearts crowd on his back.

If he does make a mistake which costs us he'll be crucified by us and he would find it hard to recover from that.

Better all round I think if he doesn't start.

Although that could mean going with Stevenson or Maybury at RB.

Play the best players available.

this.

[hibby rae]

Agree with the second post but I reckon he'll be up for sticking it to them. GGTTH.

Yep.

I don't think we should worry about bad things that might or might not happen.

We need to play the best players that we have at our disposal. If Mullen makes a mistake tomorrow or costs us a goal then we have to live with that.

[CraigHibee]

mullen had a decent game last week and i think he will do well for us this season, be interesting how he plays against hearts but i dont think he will let us down

[Ken]

I hope he plays. Best right back we have at the club and definitely don't want to see a player being played out of position.

[down-the-slope]

play him - so long as he is allowed to cross the half way line lost the strongest part of his game when coaching staff restricted him second half last week. He has a good cross and can actually overlap (when did we last have full back that could do that? Murphy)

Also let him take a free kick when goal is in range - he is better than we have (unless for a lefty like Craig)

[Callum_62]

bring back McGivern and play Stevenson at rightback

[YehButNoBut]

Looks like everyone so far thinks we should play him, would love to see him start & have a great game in a Hibs win which would make it even harder for the Yams to take.

Just imagine if he did score the winner the place would go mental.

Just worry that he is still young & inexperienced and it might be better for him not to start, hope I'm wrong though.

[Callum_62]

in all seriousness not too concerned about him starting

we are playing a very young Hearts side....it wont be Mullens 1st derby either (albeit he injured himself last one)

and mostly, I think the lads decent

[kentao]

Mullens a decent wee player. Hes going to have a stormer the morn.
Ggtth

[HibbyAndy]

Mullen on the free kicks. Stick it right up them son and cup your ears to the zoo that is the main stand.

[madabouthibs]

This I reckon is a massive Hibs trait, and has been for years, especially against them!

Pre-match Negativity.

All the Yams I speak to and banter with are winding me right up, saying we ought to beat the worst Yam team in decades, we've spent this much and that much blah blah blah.......
We need to drop this pessimistic, negative and doubting pre-derby attitude as fans, its always gonna rub off on the team.
They're being quite positive about the -15 thing, playing youngsters etc...... they've still got that air of arrogance about them , yet we're worried about playing half decent ex-hearts players in their native positions just because they're young? Mullen did fine last week, he deserves his chance to make the RB position his own.

[LongshanksED]

Play him. From what I've seen he can put in some good crosses and a decent free kick. He still looks a bit inexperienced at the back but the hertz are there for the taking by an attacking team.

[NOLA]

i see him getting sent off for flying into a challenge infront of section Nonce

[Franck Stanton]

Think it is unfortunate for him that the first Derby is as tescodome as he will be getting it tight on both sides of the pitch from the mutants. If game was at E/R then he would have home support on both sides and the mutants are just behind the goal at Dunbar end. However, that is not the case, hope he is man enough to blank them out, play his game and hopefully play well.

[OrdHibby]

Play Maybury

[Billychaotic182]

He will prob be the player who is up for it the most as he has a point to prove

[HibbyKeith]

A little word in Frasers ear tomorrow morning about how they dont rate him and he wasn't good enough should be about all the young guy will need.

[Shields Hibee]

Play him, they can give Fraser as much stick as they want but that should drive him on. Best thing for him to do is get the winner for us & then watch them fall deadly silent as another defeat beckons!

Ueh and a ref who will look for no excuse to send a Hibby off

[matty_f]

I'd play him. I think he looks like a good player and if we can channel the enthusiasm that he showed in the last derby so that he's not just trying to kick people, he could have a big impact on the game.

[danhibees1875]

He'll be fine. Although I like the irony of suggesting that ex-jambo Maybury, who's first contribution in a hibs jersey was to gift hearts a goal in last season's opening Derby, would be the answer.

That's not a pop at Alan.

[Time For Heroes]

As said already, best 11 have to start regardless.
He was tipped as one of the best youngsters they had by all accounts so I'm sure try be worried if he's in the side.
Is he still on freekicks? Imagine, last minute winner haha

[AlbertK86]

Would play him... He has a point to prove to the ****bags

Last minute free kick ... In the top corner to send the Hibees in to ecstasy !!

GGTTH

[SuperAllyMcleod]

Play him, as he said himself, when he came to Edinburgh he wasn't a Hibs or Hearts fan.

He will have a point to prove and should be allowed to do so.

Play Maybury

I think Maybury will start.the young lad done well enough against Motherwell but it's a pressure game in more senses than one. Fenlon may go for the easy option (experience)but the problem I have with that is that their young lads could outstrip Maybury easily , and he tends to try and usher players almost to the line or box without putting in a challenge!. that worries me. I would like to see our young lad, playing against his peers because I think he has the makings of a good RB, and he can place a ball, from a run, or deadball situ.Maybury disnae dae that for me.

I hope he has 3 points on his return to ER

[Dunderhall]

Play him, he's got as much experience as half the yam team.
