Not the team for Rijeka game..

**Souter96Mac** · 03-08-2021 07:07 PM

Hopefully the thread title throws off the Rijeka fan who's on the forum, in case he's scouting 😂

What are folk thinking for the starting eleven for Thursday? I'm thinking the below:

Macey
McGinn Porto Hanlon Stevenson
Magennis Newell
Boyle Allan Murphy
Nisbet

I'd usually suggest Goga for this type of game, but I was disappointed with him on the weekend, and KM needs to continue to start.

I'd like to see Allan starting, as he will provide us with quality in midfield to play in our pacey players should we be looking to counter Rijeka.

This would leave the below options to come on should we need it/see out a 5-0 victory 😁:
Doidge, Mackay, JDH, Gullan, Gogic, Campbell.

Stick McGregor and Porto upfront beside Doidgerino and we will blow them away with our long ball game

Bring back the slope

I’m not sure anyone will get the team selection right
All I know is that we will be hopefully positive

**B.H.F.C** · 03-08-2021 07:25 PM

Doyle-Hayes in for Gogic for me. Rest of the team as it was on Sunday.

I've got a feeling he'll go with the same starting 11 from Motherwell, despite Gogic not having his best game. He'll be crucial against the Croatians and I don't think Allan will start as he can't possibly be up to speed having missed so many games. Start Allan against Killie and build his fitness there.

I'm really hoping no-one is positive!

This for me as well.

Could see the logic in starting both gogic and Allan though, bit of a selection headache in midfield just now.

I like 3-5-2, but it would never work with Murphy on the left. We’d be far too exposed down that side.

I`d agree with that except replacing a hoofee with a shinner

And Blooter for a sub

We're signing Graeme Shinnie? Shouldn't that news be on the transfer thread?

That was my thoughts.

**Rijeka fan** · 04-08-2021 07:52 AM

Yes, I am looking, but not an expert for Hibs players so....

We still did not have a press conference so I do not know about current squad status, who is eligible to play and who is not.

I expect that we will start like against Dinamo, some variation of 3-5-2. Perhaps we will make some changes in midfield, we have some new players who are now registered.

Also, do not expect Murić to start in first 11.

Who cares if he is?

And why would he waste his time pretending to be a Rijeka fan if he was?

Quite like this to. Only change for me would be Scottie for Newell.

I am sure a foreign manager said he was expecting a long ball game against the Tornadoes.

Punt and Grunt up front.

***Fergus52*** · 04-08-2021 08:32 AM

Really surprised at the number of people advocating for playing Murphy at wing back.

Playing an ageing, relatively slow, right footed left forward who was never great defensively at left wing back, against a team who have pacey direct wingers who have great crossing and long shooting, would be a complete disaster. We'd get destroyed down that side - dragging Hanlon out of position and leaving big gaps in the middle.

Thankfully there's absolutely zero chance Ross will line us up like that

Wonder if any of our fans pretended to be a Brora fan before their biggest game last season?

I'd usually suggest Goga for this type of game, but I was disappointed with him on the weekend, and KM needs to continue to start.

This would leave the below options to come on should we need it/see out a 5-0 victory 😁:
Doidge, Mackay, JDH, Gullan, Gogic, Campbell.

Allan and Murphy without Gogic would make us too easy to attack. Gogic had one bad game and has been very good so far this season. I like Newell but he isn't as good lying deep. I'm not a Murphy fan and thought he was poor on Sunday making the wrong runs, defensively very poor and making bad decisions when he did get the ball.

I'd go

Macey
McGinn Porto Hanlon Stevenson
Gogic Doyle-Hayes
Boyle Magennis Mackay
Nisbet

Not Allan for me. We’ll be overwhelmed.

Magennis and Doyle Hayes should start, not sure who else in with them.

Incredible people have teams without Newall. He is the man that everything goes through.

***J-C*** · 04-08-2021 09:17 AM

Unfortunately we have no one who can take over for McGinn right now as I feel he's been poor so far this season and was the same the last 4-5 games of last season. Newell is a show pony and slows the game down when played deeper, always looks to go backwards or play the 3 yard safe option pass. Gogic was brutal on sunday and although he's had decent games for us he's now showing his severe limitations as a footballer, we need better if we want to move forward.

Macey

McGinn
Porteous
Hanlon
Stevenson

Magennis

Allan

Nisbet.
