Can't remember where I read/heard it (maybe one of Locke's interviews) but I'm sure it was reported it wasn't looking good for him to make the Hibs game after his injury away to Morton.

Scary Bear Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Wheres the best place for away fans to get a few beers before hand? I have never been to Kirkcaldy before. You should really start to live your dream and organise that road trip around Fife. Live a little!The Duchess is good. Has a good selection of beers and no TV.The Novar is okay and has TV.The Penny Farthing is okay but small.O'Connells - I've not been in there since it was refurbished.There's also the Beveridge Park Hotel up by the train station and a few more pubs along the High Street.

throbber Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The Fife road trip will happen next summer i hope! Looks like we will be spoilt for choice with drinking establishments in Kirkcaldy then, how exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More jars in St Andrews and an ice cream. Then a drink drive home.Or you could train it across and do Kirkcaldy, Kinghorn, Burntisland, Aberdour train crawl.

Dudu Dahan pal Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 2-1 hibs. Cummings, Holt. My starting 11 would be: MarcianoGrayMcGregor Hanlon Stevenson McGinn Mcgeouch Fyvie KeatingsHoltCummings Shinnie needs dropped. Been awful so far this season. He'll come good but right now we need wins and don't have time. Holt needs brought back in because there is a lack of physical presence up top.

Alan Stubbs Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 If there's any team that having no full backs against isn't such a big problem, it's us. Whoever you put at RB, I'm sure they won't have much problem dealing with Lewis Stevenson's silky runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 We definitely need Holt back, struggled massively without his ability to hold the ball up. Cummings' goals have dried up in his absence too. Also I'm no fan of Stevenson but if Lennon plays Hanlon at LB again he's lost the fucking plot.

Agreed, playing our best CH at LB just doesn't make sense, McGregor & Hanlon should be playing together unless one of them loses form or is injured. That leaves us with no-one to play LB except Stevenson (Lennon obviously doesn't rate Crane as he's not even been on the bench for the last few games!). A few people have suggested that Eardley is 2 footed and could play at LB.....he did put in a cracker of a ball with his left foot against united, but he looked well short of fitness when he came on!

The good thing about our first few games was that even when we weren't playing great, we had the ability to mix it up with a combination of passing into feet and going direct. Dundee United was us at our one dimensional worst from last season. I'll take dafty opposition fans slagging off how bad Holt is after we've won over Keatings playing well in a defeat or draw every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Could really do with a point at least, especially after losing to Falkirk, Queens and Morton. Badly need some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatings will probably get a game though. Hoping it's in the place of the so far disappointing Shinnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulises de la Cruz Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Holt and Cummings to start for me too. We've been shite at Easter Road recently so i'm glad this is away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudu Dahan pal Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 We were stronger away from home in Stubbs first season than at Easter road. Last season we were stronger at home than away and this season we seem to be back to being stronger away from home. Quite strange. You'd think with a bigger crowd the players would be even more motivated but it seems to heap pressure onto them and they go into their shells. It doesn't help that most of the new season tickets holders seem to be absolute morons who shout abuse and about getting it up the park 5 minutes into a game.

Scary Bear Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 It would be nice to beat someone at the top of the table.I'm not sure what to make of our team yet. Probably because I've only seen three of our league games, and they were a win, draw and defeat.In the Dunfermline game it was pretty even but once we scored there was only going to be one winner.Then Dundee United at Tannadice where we could have been gubbed but came back strongly to draw.Then a flat performance against a Falkirk side who are clearly better than us.Thankfully Hibs don't seem to be firing on all cylinders yet, so hopefully we can take advantage.Is the right back we had on loan from Hearts definitely away?

Hank Scorpio Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Away? I'm sure he's just injured, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'd like to see Holt and Graham start the game, think they'd cause a lot of bother up there and the plan would be simple, get the ball in the box. Harsh on Keattings and gives Cummings a kick up the arse. Rest of the team picks it's self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Away? I'm sure he's just injured, no? That must be it. He's here until the end of October. I was getting mixed up.
