Must have some size of arse if his back pocket is big enough to put Boyd in???

He was my man of the match. Looks like an organizer, something we've been distinctly lacking for years.

Really smart to knock the ball away from Moshni as well, could easily have got him sent off and totally killed any chance of them coming back.

3 centre backs were top notch tonight.

Think the fact he can let Forster and Fontaine do the physical challenges and him sweep in behind may just suit him

Lost count of how many times he was fouled yet the ref gave it the other way.
He was outstanding tonight as indeed every player was.

He was a rock tonight, him and Forster won everything. Hanlon looked a wee bit weak first half but came on to a game 2nd, still getting back to match sharpness. All round defence was as good as I've seen it for a long time.

Fontaine
I enjoyed his performance last night. A wee bit of steel and mixing it with Boyd and Moshni.
Foster was up for it too.

He and Hanlon need game time to fully get up to scratch and once they have we'll be impenetrable as a back-three. Forster is still learning his trade, but alongside a cool and cultured Hanlon and a domineering Fontnaine he can flourish into one of the best centre backs we've produced since....well, I'm lost for words there!
The only thing concerning me about a back three is how opposition will play against it. If we do go to a default 3-5-2 for the rest of the season which the evidence of our two last victories suggests, then people will know our game inside out and we could be at risk of becoming predictable. I know we tailed off in 2000/01 as a 3-5-2 side in the final third of the season, and as I'm a bit too young to remember I can only assume it's because the opposition had finally sussed us out over the preceding months and pinpointed our heavy reliance on Sauzee and Latapy. (Think I'll make this into a thread!)

Stubbs has said though he will adapt the formation accordingly depending on the opposition and how he wants to play

My point is that like Stubbs has said in his interviews, we need to remain fluid: keep them guessing, keep them unsure and surprise oppositions like we did Rangers last night. I do believe in consistency, but I don't believe in predictability, so if it were up to me I would persevere (for now and if it's required) with the 3-5-2 and get our players ever familiar with their jobs, but not necessarily rest on that formula for the whole season, even though it seems to work a treat. Keep our squad on their toes. Complacency is the biggest killer of Hibernian FC in all manner of the word. We have options (4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-5-1) and we should use them and keep our squad on their toes and keep our opposition guessing. Consistent, but not predictable.

4-4-2 every week never caused Man Utd much harm under Fergie. It's how the players play not what formation they play in.
