Team vs Partick Thistle

hfc rd · 02-08-2017 12:50 PM

As the title says, what is your starting XI this Sat against Partick Thistle? Very hard on who to pick and who to leave out as we now have a very good squad! Good problem to have though.

Marciano

Whittaker
Ambrose
Fontaine
Stevenson

McGeouch
Bartley
McGinn

Boyle
S. Murray
Swanson

subs:

Laidlaw
Porteous
Hanlon
Slivka
F. Murray
Big Dave
Stokes

Would go with that to be honest. The two Liths and obviously Stokes are behind in match fitness, so play the strongest and fittest team available

**we are hibs** · 02-08-2017 01:04 PM

Marciano, Whittaker, Ambrose, Hanlon, Stevenson, Boyle, McGinn, McGeouch, Bartley, Swanson, Dave.

7 goals Simon Murray dropped - bold choice!

That would be my choice as well, need to give stokesy time to get match fit. Full confidence that team will give us a win.

I'm really surprised at so many going for Fontaine over Hanlon.

Probably don't want to risk starting him yet.

***BT58*** · 02-08-2017 01:23 PM

Could be Stevenson since he has been here way longer than the others. Whittaker could be a shout but he's a new arrival so maybe McGinn

**spudhib** · 02-08-2017 03:07 PM

Will Whittaker be first choice rb or does gray come back against the rangers,imo if Whitty does well against thistle it's his to keep/lose.

Paul not ready to start I don't think.

On the bench but probably won't come on unless required urgently.

Captain?

***bingo70*** · 02-08-2017 06:23 PM

Interesting that Stokes said earlier he'd be fit to play this weekend.

In terms of a starting 11, it's a tough one to call, I'd maybe go with the following:-

Marciano
Whittaker
Stevenson
Efe
Fontaine
Bartley
McGinn
Vik
Boyle
Murray
Swanson (possibly stokes if fit)

Ambrose
Porteous
Fonts

Lewis

Bartley
Dylan
Super

I'd go with that, or maybe Hanlon for Fonts if he's ready to start. We might get 60-65 minutes out of him.

Leaving out our main goal scorer and playing an unfit centre half certainly shows confidence.

I think Bartley is a certainty to play but Fontaine worries me - he is far too slow. Is a half fit Hanlon better? - not sure but something I would definitely consider.

was torn between Slivka & Swanson. Put Slivka down as he really impressed me on Saturday but would be equally pleased if Danny started and Slivka was on the bench.

Harsh on Fontaine that. Good player who would play for the majority of the teams in our league. Says a bit about our squad that he's probably 4th choice centre half now. No need to gamble on Hanlons fitness when we have him.
