ex-montrosesaintee Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Agree with that, Scobbie is better against passing teams, crap against hoofball teams. Same starting lineup as today would suit me, provided Sutton and Caddis don't come on. Especially when we have Kane and Thomson on the bench.

SaintJet Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Seems that Stokes is eligible for this game; I thought he was automatically cup tied at this late stage. Hibs + Stokes Saints - MOHJust makes my point even stronger that even considering bids for Mikey is ludicrous at this juncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitchy Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 You have got to say that on paper things dont look very favourable for us going into this game. We have not won a game since the 5th of December and have only scored one goal since then as well. We have had constant speculation hanging over of our star player and now Tommy Wright has stated that Murray Davidson, Chris Millar and Dave MacKay are all extremely doubtful for this game.In contrast to this Hibs, barring their recent defeat at Ibrox, have been in excellent form. They have been boosted by the recent signing of Anthony Stokes and dont seem to have any major injury concerns.In saying all that though, this majestic team of ours never fail to surprise me and have upset the odds numerous times in the past few seasons. Also, we have more players with big match experience in our team. The likes of Mannus, Anderson, Easton, Wotherspoon, Macca etc have all played in European football and have experience of playing in semi finals and winning a cup. I look at the Hibs team and just dont see that same level of big game experience in their squad.As always in these games, the first 20 minutes will be so crucial. When we played Aberdeen at Tynecastle in our last League Cup Semi Final, losing the goal after just 3 minutes left us facing an uphill battle and got their fans right behind them. I know we went 1-0 behind as well in the Scottish Cup Semi, but the atmosphere was no where near as vociferous from the Aberdeen support that day (a crowd of only 19,057 in a stadium that can hold 50,000). Hibs fans will be right up for this on Saturday and we cant give them anything to cheer about early doors. I hope that we try to frustrate them early doors and just hit them on the counter when the opportunity arises.I personally would like to see us go: Mannus,Shaugnessy, Anderson, Scoobie, EastonO'Halloran, Muzza (I think he will play), Lappin, Wotherspoon,CumminsMacLean 17May, SaintJet and Saintee1994 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards your team line-up I would rather Joe played CB rather than right back but if Cuptie is struggling which TW has alluded to then that will probably be the way we line-up. Only change I would make is perhaps playing Liam on the left side of midfield. Just feel that with this game being against Hibs we may get a huge performance out of him.

Edstar101 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Boys in my lads team often ball boy at Easter Road, and to that end their dads go.their feedback is that Hibs are far from excellent and although winning, they have just been less shite than their opposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 MannusShaughnessy Anderson Scobbie EastonMOH Davidson Wotherspoon Craig Maclean Cummins come out the blocks like a rabid dog, kill the advantage of a bigger Hibs support straight away and really bully and harass their young ball players.up front they won't have faced anything like that this season... Get the ball to O'Halloran early and let him run at the left back... Maclean to make front post runs all day, we have scored so many from him getting there and finishing a low MOH cross. Zippy to attack the back post.if we can come out flying and impose ourselves on them then we could really dominate.4-1 Saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Mackay, Millar and Muzz were all described as "serious doubts" by TW yesterday, not convinced he's one to get overly deep into that style of mind game. Muzz is the biggest one to miss, but I reckon him and Mackay will find a way to play (pretty frustrating we never actually got told what sort of injuries they had though)Being the optimist I am I'd line up...MannusMackay - Anderson - Joe - EastonO'Halloran - Wotherspoon - Muzz - LappinMacLean - CumminsI do prefer Craig to Lappin, but Lappin seems a "big game" player who'll be solid throughout, Liams passion could easily see him try far too hard to prove a point to Hibs and throw himself into something stupid. Would stress that Radford made a very good point on P&B that Hibs weakness is the centre halves who are both tragically slow, while the full backs seem told to push up, which is very similar to the weaknesses Rangers had, so O'Halloran up front might not be the most surprising thing. Would be interesting to see if we went with Thomson on the right in that case, or Spoony with Craig/Lappin central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I would add that we shouldn't underestimate Hibs, at all. Confidence is a huge leveller and they'll be full of it while we've not won in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence is a huge leveller and they'll be full of it while we've not won in a while.Never mind confidence, Hibs have a very good team full of players I would happily see at Saints. McGeoch, McGinn and Cummings are all exceptional players. Which full back will MOH go up against? Lewis Stevenson? Nightmare for them IMO. They should do their homework there.

If this was any other game I think Tommy would have a surprise in the starting line-up. Experience will be the key!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
