    How do you think we would do if we met Falkirk in the playoffs?

    Serious question, even though we are definitely still in with a shout of winning the league.

    I personally think that Falkirk are a very organised yam-like unit, which is no surprise considering that muppet Houston is manager, and they would definitely fancy their chances against us.

    We will definitely need our players to be on the very top of their games, unlike the past 2 occasions we've met.

    Real tough one to call, hopefully they have a blip against the 4th place side and don't end up making it through to play us :D

    I'd say today's game was a dress rehearsal for the 1st leg of the play off.
    Just my realistic opinion.

    Be tight but fancy us to win over two legs .

    The last 2 games suggest it would be a tough game that would go to the wire. I think that at the minute that's realistic.

    Tbh I don't think Rangers would fancy playing them over 2 legs either.

    They haven't beaten us this season despite being a goal up in 2 of the games.

    I can't see them beating us in a play off.

    Frankly, I'm still of the belief we can this league and won't be thinking about play offs until we cannot win the championship.

    and they've had the benefit of us losing McGinn for 50 mins and a stonewall penalty denied as well.

    We are a better team but I'd rather avoid the play offs as football is so unpredictable.
    Vaulks is an excellent player and I hope someone make them an offer they can't refuse in the next couple of weeks.

    They would start the 180 minutes with ten men behind the ball and would aim for penalties. They'd hit us on the break and maybe get lucky, if we manage to get a goal it would open up and we'd win comfortably. The longer we don't score the more likely they will.

    the team that wants it most will win

    Well I tried to start a thread seems it has not happened,so here we go.If we turn up for 90minutes not the too familiar 45,we will win the play off against anyone..that is all simple really.
    We have the players but do we have the mindset?

    We'd be absolutely fine if we got after them like we did in the last 20 minutes today.

    Who knows? We practically owned Rangers in the league last year but lost to them over two legs.

    If we have Stokes and he makes a big difference to our effectiveness, then I would be really confident. The current team I also believe could take these guys over two legs. My concern at the moment is we don't often start games well, and then only have a go toward the end. Two legs could be to our advantage. Title or no, I think we are in good shape to be promoted through the play offs, as the SPL team won't be world beaters.

    I genuinely believe that it is as close to a 50/50 match as you will get. I don't think any team deserves to go into the matches as favourite.

    Given that it's over 2 legs we'd beat them.

  20. #19
    We would win. There is no alternative. This club can not spend another year out of the top league.

    We'll beat them (and The Rangers) if we play with some width and intensity. Today we were at our best getting wide into the channels but with players supporting. Far too often first half Lewis and Darren got the ball on their flank and had no one outside them - the play continually came inside into traffic.

    We need to use width and have players who are comfortable playing wide.

    Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here. There will only be a Hibs Falkirk playoff tie if we get second place or if we or Falkirk manage to beat the fourth placed team and that's not guaranteed. So there are quite a few imponderables.

    I think we'd scrape through and actually find it easier against a Hamilton or Partick in the final.

    We could beat them twice but I doubt they could beat us once without a great deal of help from a ref.

    With AS adding to this very good squad, we would win easily over 2 legs.... But as we are going to win the league it's not going to matter

    To be honest I thought falkirk would beat us, said so much to a mate. IMO theres not enough tempo or urgency in our play, and that again IMO is why were not scoring enough so I would gues we would struggle against Falkirk over 2 games and heaven forbid if it came to penalties. W need to up our pace.

    No reason to think we wouldn't win but let's not kid ourselves it would be easy. Tough two legs that could be an absolute lottery.

    Its just a shame his team selection leaves a lot to be desired.
