Nerves kicking in for Tannadice

[Hibernia&Alba]

INHO, the most important match of the season so far. In fact I'd take a win on Friday ahead of beating Aberdeen in the semi-final. The league form is stuttering now, and a defeat at Tannadice would put us under enormous pressure at the top. On the other hand, three points would put us in a very strong position, with games running out. We mustn't be left to take our chances in the play offs once again. A win for either side could prove a pivotal moment in the season. I'm getting nervous.

[Pretty Boy]

A win puts us in such a strong position. 9 ahead of Falkirk with same games played and 10 ahead of United, even allowing for a game in hand that's still a big psychological edge.

I think we'll see a Hibs cup performance on Friday and we'll get the job done.

[Callyballybe]

Agreed. I find it hard to 'physically' say that I'd take the win on friday over a win in the semi - But deep down I do.

Not to be too downtrodden, but we really have made it hard for ourselves unnecessarily. We should've taken 9 points from out last three games and been in the clear. Falkirk are now in the mix as well, and defeat on friday will ultimately undo alot of the good work we've done since xmas.

Actually, I've just made myself even more nervous....

It's what's needed. Hopefully your right!

[SRHibs]

To think if we'd had a decent run against the ***** of the league we would almost be 20 points ahead. I've got a sneaky feeling will win comfortably on Friday anyway.

I'd take a win on Friday over a win in the Semi, but not a draw. With only 2 games remaining in the tournament the players should be more than fine coping with the extra fixtures.

Agreed, I think that with the SC semi in the bag, the players will be full of confidence and right up for this.
Be great if we could shift a few more tickets and take a huge support.

[Hibernia&Alba]

A defeat would leave United four points behind with a game in hand, and ourselves without a league win in five. A draw leaves us as you were, and that's okay. The win and it's happy days.

Nervous is an understatement

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one.

[tamig]

Not nervous in the slightest. Looking forward to the trip. Bring it on.

Well I'm taking a spare pair of undies.

[Smartie]

We're hard to beat, we don't lose many goals but we tend not to score that many either.

I can't see past a draw on Friday.

I don't think we'll be too gung ho and I suspect if anyone scores they will go on to get a 1-0 win.

Huge game.

Optimist!

At least Dazza will be back.Need to be solid at the back .They moved the ball about quite well in the last encounter up there and we looked pretty punchless to my eye.
We miss Paul Hanlon's speed too.

If the midfield boys can turn it on then we should win.
But which Hibs team is gonna turn up??


Got my ticket but nervous.

[MacBean]

Bigger game than hearts game in terms of our objectives for the season. Defeat is not an option

I think also Lennon has learned a lot about the players since the last time we played there in December

every game will become progressively the most important now until we get over the line

I think we'll get beat, to set up a typically stressfilled final run in

My fear is that defeat would see our erse collapse. We must get at least a draw.

[Albanian Hibs]

Not worried at all.

I can't see us being as poor as last time and even then we were unlucky to lose and if anything Dundee Urdu have regressed since then

I think a draw at worst but think we will win 3-1

we will possibly lose against more unexpected teams and Morton and falkirkmwill be stern tests

[bod]

i'm not nervous, i don't think i'll be selected to play

[Ronniekirk]

We have had the week to rest players that reqire this and for Ambrose to partner Mcgregor again
The manner in which we started the game v Ayr suggests they are over the St Mirren Defeat and i would think that they will view this game as another chance to bury any thought they had of clawing points back
Expect us to win it and will be more looking at Morton and Falkirk results in next few weeks than United i suspect
But now is the time to go on anther winning streak

[LichtieHibby]

For me, we don’t need to winthis. It’s a good idea to keep matches competitive up to the Scottish Cup Final.I don’t want weeks of meaningless games. I want us to stay sharp for pumping oneof the ugly sisters.

In fact, I think we’d be doingourselves a long term favour to lose it.

I'm half expecting to be picked if I'm honest. So my nerves are justified...

[Hi Heid Yin]

Losing is not an option.
Lose the game and United need only win their game in hand to be a mere 1 point behind us.
More ominously, Falkirk are gaining a good head of steam at the right time again.
Falkirk are only 2 wins from catching us.
The 6 point head-to-heads with both these teams will be nail-biters for certain.

Have we played them before? :-)

[Vini1875]

We must win IMHO to get our league campaign on track. We also need to beat Falkirk and Morton over the next few weeks which puts us out of sight and sets us up for Hampden. Falkirk, Morton and dufc can all take points off each other.

[Dashing Bob S]

Both teams are pretty stodgy in the League right now, difficult to see the game not being settled by a single goal. Hopefully it goes our way this time. As folks have been saying, this is as big a game as it gets for Hibs. Hopefully they will produce a performance.
