[hibee_girl]

Marciano, McGinn, Porteous, Hanlon, Doig, Boyle, Gogic, Newell, Horgan, Doidge, Nisbet.

Excited by that team.

[CMurdoch]

Only squad change Stirling for injured Wright

Team changes - Horgan in for Wright and Doidge in for Allan

Fingers crossed that Horgan can get his crosses right for height and length for a change.

Newell is capable of handling himself from what ive seen from him. Pitch will be really dry today. Hopefully 3 points and no injuries on that park.

[Since452]

That team is more than capable of getting a result today. Let's hope they do

Newell has a dig in him and more defensive nous than Allan.

[heretoday]

Draw today I reckon. 1-1

[Unseen work]

Starting with a 442.

....................Marciano............

McGinn....Porteous.....Hanlon.....Doig...

Boyle.......Gogic........Newell......Horgan....

..............Nisbet............Doidge......

Interesting team, a few ways they might line up.

Scott Allan was unlikely to play every minute of every match, and with another game on Tuesday I fully support Jack Ross rotating his squad and taking a “horses for courses” approach.

I like all the players in the squad at present so happy to see Doidge and Horgan come in.

Big day for Gogic, he’s set to be the main man for us today, in an area we’ve been bullied a bit by Livingston in the past.

[Since452]

Glad the Welsh goal machine is starting

[PH91]

Could be 352 with horgan playing in behind the strikers but more likely 442.

By all accounts horgan has played well pre season so hopefully he can keep that going.

I predict nisbet to score a penalty today.

[stoneyburn hibs]

I like that starting eleven.
It's good to see Jack Ross mixing it up from game to game.

[Robbo6-2]

Allan deserves to be dropped but Daryl Horgan I dont agree with.

How many chances does Horgan need, he absolutely dire

He'll score a brace today now 😉

Looks a good team. I don't think we will miss Allan in this fixture. More legs and energy in this team and still plenty creativity.

Fingers crossed but cant see it happening to be honest.

Off at 59mins absolutely blowing after over hitting half a dozen crosses more likely

[Spike Mandela]

Not sure how people can say we won’t miss the the likes of Allan, our best midfielder with an eye for a pass that can unlock tight defences like Livi. Wonder what’s going on there?

He’s had a great pre season.

Hope Gullan gets a decent run out off the bench today.

Did his part last week, but i do think overall it wasn't his best performance. Better to drop him to the bench early in the season to let the squad know that its your best on the pitch or there will be changes.

Also all the chats about missing Allan today.... there this thing called substitutions, where you cam swap someone on the park with someone on the bench, and even better we can do this with 5 players this season.... I think we will be fine.

As for Newell, he has shown a lot of grit in the latter half of last season so i think the combination of that with his skill/styl of play will suit today... (hopefully).

Criticise players by all means, but at least wait until the game and then criticise them if they make a mistake.

I now hope he reads your posts and sticks the ball in the net a couple of times.

[BlackSheep]

Cliff Pike just said its a 442 on the Livi PPV feed

[Radium]

Blisteringly warm day with the sun splitting the ground. Can’t think of worse conditions to play on a plastic pitch so can see why SA doesn’t start.

Instinct is that both teams will play long and look for second balls.

Will the pitch not be heavily watered so it will behave just the same as at any other time?

You must've missed the real dire players at Hibs if you think he's dire. Inconsistent maybe but dire definitely not.

[badabing67]

Drey Wright got a calf strain or something hope this isn't the norm for the rest of the season. Bit concerned about him tbh
