No chance Rankin or Thomson will be dropped IMO and cant see Jacobs being left out against Hibs. I presume Marshall will come back in if fit and there will be a question over Mercer or Hamill on the other side but I would be reasonably surprised if the formation changes. We shall see...... Wouldn't drop Jacobs out against anybody he has been most consistent player all season, very important player for us in the centre of the park. Think Naysmith should bring Hammil back in at RB tho and hopefully Marshall is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Can't see us keeping a clean sheet, but we do now have a few different attacking threats. I think we'll lose this 1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Having gone after Mercer I don't think he will drop him but there is a case for it given the ease in which Andy Stirling went past him (and others) on Saturday. If Boyle plays on the left as he did at home to DUFC the thought of that searing pace against Hamill would be a concern. Think he will stick with same set up with Marshall in for Higgy if he has recovered.I hope we don't sit deep for entire match and concede full territorial advantage to Hibs. Don't want Danny marking Gray and Thomas marking Stevenson - hopefully it is the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomCat Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Robinson Mercer Dowie Brownlie Marshall Hamill Jacobs Rankin Thomas Carmichael Dobbie Bus parked but room to manoeuvre. Depends on injury to Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you guys and could easily swap Thomson for Carmichael. Was more thinking of the 3 in the centre and keeping it compact in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 After getting shot of Millar, the last thing we need in midfield is his fellow slow motion action replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Of_Kings Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 How is Danny Carmichael getting on this season? I was really happy when we signed him and I was gutted it didn't work out for him with us but glad he's back with you guys as I think he is a cracking player.

ThomCat Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Its only Monday so who knows, my preferred lineup may change by Saturday. No idea how long Marshall is out for either. Would be interesting to see how you guys would lineup for Saturday. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really happy when we signed him and I was gutted it didn't work out for him with us but glad he's back with you guys as I think he is a cracking player. Outside of him being signed injured in the middle of an injury crisis, he's started to get a decent amount of time and is getting the ball in dangerous positions more and more and showing some smart touches, especially when he and Dobbie link up. I'm not sure if he is 100% yet as he is unsurprisingly, after such a bad groin injury, slower and less able to twist and turn as he perhaps used to, but he is a smart player with a lovely first touch so I have faith in him to adapt to getting older. In terms of form teams, Hibs then Morton is about as tough as it gets really and if we can get something out of either game I'd be satisfied. Our defence is still rather crap and playing long balls for Dobbie to chase isn't going to work, If we can get the ball on the deck and get Dobbie dictating play we might have a chance and seeing as we can't defend for shit we kind of have to push on to get a result. Though my overriding feeling is a comfortable away win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sort of fixture I'd have been wary of last season. Lennon seems to know how to grind out important results though. Hopefully see a similar team to that against Dundee Utd, 2 wingers with either Cummings up front 4-5-1 or Cummings and Holt 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Assuming no business done this week, I'd like to see Shinnie given one last chance behind the striker in the 4-2-3-1 we used against United. He's been underwhelming to say the least but I reckon this system would suit him a lot better than what he's played in for us so far. If he still looks shite, he can be punted out for a new signing.

I'd quite like to see Keatings in the Commons role, same formation as the United game. Wouldn't be against Shinnie being in there though. Our away form this season is brilliant, Lennon knows how to grind out results in games like this. 1-0 Hibs, Cummings to get the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeHFC Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I wouldn't mind either of them in the Commons role or even Keatings to be played on the left of the 3, then he can get to the byline and put a ball across! I thought Shinnie was good at the weekend, he looked a lot stronger, was involved in most of our forward play and he made himself more available for passes than anyone else on the park till Fyvie came on. To be fair to him he has been decent when playing the attacking mid role where he can drift around behind the strikers, it was when we asked him to be more disciplined and play in the middle of the park beside Bartley that he totally flopped.

Dudu Dahan pal Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 the only time I thought he played well was his debut(?) against Morton.he's always going to stand out against Junior sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
