SaintJet Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hibs visiting with a spring in their step after reaching another cup final. We have serious problems with key players missing; no Kane, May, Middelton, Wotherspoon among others who are carrying knocks. We really are up against it this week and I have real concersns about us being able to get something from this match. We have a pretty tasking schedule on the horizon so we better be switched on. Liam back to bolster our midfield in what will be a battle but we need to have someone, ( maybe our elusive new striker ) step up and get some goals.

california_saintee Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 This is exactly the kind of game where we've pulled a win out of nothing in the past few years. Don't forget that Callum has Jack Ross's number. HOODLUM65 and THE LARK SAINT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porteous back after suspension too! Hibs cuffed by County for their 5th straight league defeat. Going to be some game...not so sure if it'll be good or bad though.

Cagey Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hibs defeat means we can go above them so let's go for it & non of this negative football. On the other hand if we get beat we could get dragged into mire so probably keep it tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'm looking forward to this one. We've no reason to fear Hibs and I'm hoping the enforced changes to personnel up front will freshen us up and make us a bit less predictable. Callum's central midfield selection should be interesting: could be any two from MacPherson, Bryson, Davidson and Craig. I'm predicting: ________________Clark _______Brown__Gordon__McCart Rooney__Davidson__Bryson__Booth _____MOH__Vertainen__Crawford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, and with the heavy fixture schedule coming up he might not be risked and we could see the Devine (who I like what I have seen of him) at LWB?

Hope Booth makes it, it would be good to have some continuity at least at the back. John Bonham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hibs came down with a bump last night but still looked dangerous at times. Mind you their defence didn't look too clever either! Would not hold my breath about the two red cards they will probably appeal both to give breathing space on Saturday.

I think it might just be the case that there's too many defenders to give them all a place on the bench. I've noticed Davidson seems to be rotating which of our on-loan defenders are named on the bench of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 If you assume Aberdeen and Hibs recover, we have to finish above DU, Motherwell & St Mirren to get top 6. That currently means catching up 10 points. Not impossible & we’ve done it before. Top 4, and probably top 5, means Europe - that might be beyond us this year. The top league is arguably the strongest it could be at present, so 8th - 10th is no disgrace for a rebuilding year. I see little or no chance of relegation. I probably shouldn’t have said that.

RandomGuy Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hibs will make the top 6 IMO. They're having a bad run but any team with their quality would need to have an absolute disaster to finish that low. Motherwell the likeliest to fall out the top half but points tally they already have means that's not guaranteed. I think Aberdeen have a larger chance of the bottom half than top. We have no chance unless we can score more goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
