Kyle Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 League season starts in 5 days and I’d suggest we’re still short our first choice goalkeeper, a starting striker and arguably a starting central midfielder. We also have a load of injuries, most of which have carried over from last season. Seems Hibs have had a bit of a banter summer themselves, but they do still possess a lot of quality, certainly more than we currently have on paper. Subject to there being no more signings, we probably line up: Parish Brown Gordon Considine Wright Hallberg Davidson Carey Montgomery May Murphy The manager is talking about adding a couple more fresh faces so that first 11 could still change. We really need a better goalkeeper and there’s not many goals in that team either. Cleary might play ahead of Brown or Gordon if he doesn’t make it Fingers crossed we are better than we’ve looked so far, and indeed better than we currently look on paper. Not particularly hopeful as we are significantly weaker than last season and we were guff then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Do we have to? Its genuinely appalling that we’re starting the first league game (as it stands) without having signed a striker or a goalkeeper. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 It’s very typical that in the season I’m least excited for since I started following Hibs we kick off the season with one of the worst away trips of the season. Interest in this is minimal, out on the bevy on Saturday and probably won’t even watch the highlights. Jamie Murphy to score his only league goal of the season and St Johnstone to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Love an opening game to a season. A rarity to have a home one so looking forward to it despite not having a lot of optimism for the season ahead. Could have got a better opponent with a bigger away support, the likes of Aberdeen, United or Hearts, to make it more of an occasion, but hopefully a sunny day brings out a few more than normal for both sides. Neither fanbase particularly optimistic, so getting off to a winning start could be vital for either team to keep the pressure at bay. Prediction 1-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 0-0 Saints to have 10 men behind the ball and constantly allow Hibs to regain their shape because we build up so slow. Callum Davidson to be delighted with a point against Hibs u23 side as "it gets points on the board" and promises we're just "3 or 4" signings away from where he wants us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Drey Wright and Jamie Murphy will look like competent football players on Saturday. It’s a stick on. 1-1 draw. Doidge for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I genuinely thought the Perth Liz Truss Fanclub had been relegated last season, and replaced with a real football team like Arbroath. Easy win for Hibs, prior to our 20 game losing streak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Only about 150 tickets left for the masochists Hibs fans to snap up. Usually this means we will have high expectation levels, but after our pre season "preparations" most can only see a Tory Fermer win with one of our ex players scoring. 0-3 Hibs Youhan, Doidge, Drey Wright (og). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 New GK Brown - Cleary - Mahon - Considine - Montgomery MacPherson - Davidson - Hallberg Carey - Murphy We finally embrace the strikerless set up the manager dreams of. 100 crosses in 90 mins despite playing no striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Tappin Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Assuming we go: Marshall, Cadden, Rocky, Porto, Cabraja, Kenneh, Tait, Hendo, McGeady, Youan, Tavares; then we should have enough about us to limit Saints to just the 3 goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
