Team for next derby

[alihibs1]

GK - Laidlaw

LB - Stevenson

RB - Sir David Gray

CB - Fontaine and Mcgregor

Midfield - Bartley, Mcginn, Dylan Mcgeoch and Fyvie

Play all 4 and pack the midfield. Bartley sitting furthest back with Fyvie and Mcgeoch in the middle with Mcginn playing a wee bit further forward.

Upfront - Cummings with Holt or Keatings

Id go with that team with the exception of Fontaine, I'd have forster.
We cannot have Shinnie or Humphrey near the starting eleven or we're ****ed.

That's the team to win us the game at Tynie next week IMHO - but will he play McGeouch? For me he should have started today - terrific player

What ever team it is we need to attack their full backs that's their weakness as well as get balls on top of the keeper.

Let Bartley sit get our full backs over lapping and get crosses on top of the keeper

You'd play Humphrey but not McGinn? Seriously???!??

Like most Derbys I think it will be won in the midfield. I would go

Laidlaw

Daz
Lewis

Boyle
Fyvie
Bartley
McGinn

Holt
Jason

That gives us strength in the middle, cover for the fullbacks and centre halves and some width with Boyle who can attack their very shaky Left back. McGinn then plays where Walker is usually found and can hopefully make it hard for him before he gets near fonts. We should try to throw the ball into the penalty spot early to test the slippery fingers of Hamilton so Holt has to start. Of course it would be silly not to start Jason in any game particularly a Derby.

Needs width to get at their full back McGinn isn't a winger

He is, however, out best player though.

I think Hearts would destroy us if we play two up front and two out and out wingers. Humphrey has done nothing to deserve a start and was abysmal today. Not playing SJM in a high tempo physical derby would be crazy.

Hibernian team without McGinn when fit and able to play doesn't make sense. Understand the point about width but dropping a player with real quality would be a huge gamble.

Guessing you weren't at the game if you believe Humphrey deserves to be near the team let alone replacing McGinn. Like others have said

Bartley
Fyvie McGeouch
McGinn

Is the best midfield we can put out which lets us be more creative attacking while breaking up the play with big Marv.

I would go for a team similar to this one. A solid 4 4 2 is I think the correct starting formation.

Drop Fyvie then. I've watched hearts last 3 games and they aren't very good. Celtic won their game through the full backs and any joy the rangers or motherwell got was overlapping full backs.

No i wasn't at the game today I'm away. But Humphrey will get more space to run next week than he has since he joined

Your lineup makes slightly more sense now seeing as you weren't there today. But honestly man, after today there's only one player that could be dropped from that midfield.

Subbed off at half time says it all. How rare is that these days regardless of performance? Usually always get at least the first 15 of the second half.

Agree! Alteast I am not the only one who thinks Forster over Fontaine. Jordon knows what it means in a derby.

We often seem uncertain when Fontaine is playing, we should have signed another player as cover there as it is a crucial position n the team

100% but Forster used to play in derbys under fenlon did he not? He was always the first to get his head to the ball from corners and i remember 2013 league cup derby at ER a wonderful header hit the crossbar. We lost 1-0 after ryan stevenson caught williams too far out...

I agree too and think that will be the team except (unfortunately) Fontaine will remain in ahead of Forster who's had a couple of great games v Hearts.

Forster has had alot of derby experience in first team and development team. I think he would have the game of his life considering hes went from a first team regular to a bemch warmer

Nearly my preferred team though I'd possibly be tempted to drop Bartley from that lineup to accommodate all of McGeough, Fyvie and McGinn. If we get to half time and we think we need an extra bit of toughness I'd put Bartley on.

If the three I mentioned are on-song and the back 3 stay switched on we won't get beat.

[snooky]

Personally, I would keep Daz & Fontaine. I wouldn't experiment with Foster much as I think he is okay.
Anybody who picks Humphries on today's showing needs an eye test.
We'll need fighters to win this one, not ballet dancers.
