Scosha Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Surprised there hasn't already been a topic made for this. I thought we could get a win here until Quitongo got injured on Saturday and is confirmed out, as well as Jamie Lindsay being doubtful. We'll most likely start with Oyenuga up front and see Tidser/O'Ware move into CM if Lindsay doesn't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Despite the decent run we'll be lucky to scrape a draw from this. Can't make it with it being moved for telly so will need to settle for watching it on sky plus on Sunday morning with a raging hangover. The joys.

Zing. Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 We have two fit first team central midfielders. One of them is Marvin Bartley who I don't think has scored or assisted once for us. We'll draw/lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'd never have thought at the beginning of the season an away trip to Greenock in December could look so ominous. Would be delighted with 3 points from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Would take a draw now, given the distinct possibility of that carthorse Oyenuga stinking the place out for us up front. If we can keep things tight then we can still beat a team on set-pieces, but the injuries that we sustained on Saturday will really weaken our performance in open play. 1-1.

mackenzie43 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Midfield is very sparse, will probably see young Martin filling in, and potentially three up top ala Boyle, Graham and Cummings..nervy stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Would be pretty happy with a draw given the injuries. We're a totally different entity to the team that got hammered at Easter Road (or at least we were when Quitongo & Lindsay were fit) so I'd expect it'll be a lot tighter. Looks like a good Hibs support are travelling down so hopefully a decent atmosphere, and hopefully folk don't decide to just stay in and watch it on Alba.

Alan Stubbs Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 We are holding on for dear life until the transfer window opens now. I'll be pretty relieved if haven't dropped off first place after this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Prince Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 If Hibs don't win this then their season is fucked Steady. It's only December. Dundee United are on a great run yet we're still ahead on GD. I'll be absolutely delighted if we can get a win here, the thought of another Shinnie & Bartley pairing with Boyle in behind the strikers is giving me the absolute fear.

We are missing our entire first choice midfield. Boyle linking up play and sliding in those defence splitting passes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1875 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Wonder if any of the legends* on the Marathon Bet buses would be willing to play one last time in midfield?*I use the term legends loosely since Kevin Thomson is one of those on the MB buses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 McDonagh should replace Quitongo up front as the simplest solution. Doyle taking over at RB. Midfield a bit more complex. CM - I would probably go with Murdoch and O'Ware. Although Tidser may want to stake his place in the team with a good performance. With his contract up at the end of the season he really needs to impress again to prove his fitness and he still has the ability after his injury problems. I did predict we wouldn't see the best of Tidser until Xmas! Forbes could also come into CM as an option too. Not sure if Lindsay will make it, hope he does. If he is fit then I would go with Lindsay/Murdoch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did predict we wouldn't see the best of Tidser until Xmas! And you were wrong once again: as was shown by Tidser running the show throughout our League Cup group, way back in July. So much for needing to wait six months in order to find fitness. The reason why Tidser has been unimpressive since has nothing to do with fitness and everything to do with the fact that he's not as good as our first-choice midfielders. He has always been on the slow side and the more dynamic midfielders we have now show him up in that respect. With Forbes not exactly equipped to press the opposition either Tidser has become a luxury player for a team that is far more effective without him.
