With Murray & Stirling away in recent days Hibs have 23 first team players left.
A match day squad is now 20 players.
Only guys missing yesterday were Stephen McGinn, Mackie and Allan.
Players not in the matchday squad are now out on loan or away permanently.
Money saving strategy in full swing?
Who's next out the door (or in)?
The players will be getting the fear if they are called in to peak to the boss!

Some players listed are never going to get on anyway.
However I agree with your comment that we are getting a bit light on numbers.

Admins - should this not be merged into the Hibs (non) transfer thread?

Do you think Gray would get on if Paul McGinn was injured.

Horgan was eased away so he could get Murphy in. Allan, Mallan & Gray have been pushed to the margins.

We definitely look light numbers wise assume will get 2 or 3 in before window ends.

I’d be surprised if Mackie stays tbh.

I think defensively we need another player in as well. We have Gray and McGregor as back-up at the moment and while probably still capable are very injury prone and could leave us really struggling if they are needed for cover and end up crocked themselves.
And while McGinn can play both positions even he couldn't do both at the same time and I would be unwilling to move Gogic back into centre-half given how integral he is now to our stronger midfield.
Another McGinn type that can play centre half and right back would be ideal, maybe Naismith?

It will be interesting to see whether Allan and Mallan can get back front and centre in the team again or whether Jack will make them disappear at the end of the season Vela/Horgan/James etc stylee.
Mallan probably has the best chance because he hasn't been fully Ross assessed yet due to his long injury.
As you say Hallberg must also be in danger of being cut adrift although he has at least managed to get on the pitch most weeks.
Which leads us to David Gray who must be under pressure to move away on loan or move onto the post football part of his contract. We have barely seen the poor guy since Scott Allan injured him over a year ago other than a painful half a game when he came back to early.
Football is a brutal business at the best of times but the pandemic has ratcheted that up many many notches.Last edited by CMurdoch; 28-09-2020 at 06:36 PM.

They can make 5 substitutions so having 9 substitutes is not excessive.
The top 4 teams at least should always be able to field a full complement
Looking at Saturdays game:
Stevenson Mallan & Murphy got on
Of the other 6
Barnes was there to replace Marciano if required
Gullan & Shanley were there to replace the forwards if required
Hallberg was there to replace Gogic or Newell if required
McGregor was there to replace a centre half if required
Gray was there to replace McGinn if required
In essence they all had a function and could have been called upon.

I don’t follow the Championship these days so I missed this news.
Will keep an eye out for Dunfermline this season though, would like to see them back in the top flight.
