Hibernian V St.Johnstone - Saturday 29th March

[SaintJet]

Not to state the obvious but 'time is running out' for us to save ourselves from the drop. A trip to in form HIbs after a an international break might not be the best opportunity for us to improve our pretty dismal away record but we need to start somewhere.

I believe we'll probably stick with the starting line up who fought out a draw with Aberdeen.

A win a few hours before Dundee face Rangers would give us all a lift.

Unsurprisingly, ticket sales are not looking great. Hopefully a few more shift in the coming days

Feels like most of the team picks itself now if everyone is fit. Think Griffith will come back in to the midfield and Kirk has shown himself to be our most reliable goalscorer over the season so should start up front. It’s probably just the final attacking position up for grabs and it could be any one from Sidibeh, Carey, Clark, Kimpioka & Duke-McKenna. Carey probably merits it the most and, although there is an argument he’s a better impact player at this stage, I’m not sure anyone has shown they deserve to start ahead of him. Hard decision for the manager. 
 

                          Fisher 

         Balodis     Mitchell   Douglas 

 Curtis      Sprangler      Holt      Wright

                 Carey            Griffith

                             Kirk

I'd really like to see Nicky Clark start this one. I feel like our forward play has been lacking something over the last few games and I think his experience would be really beneficial in a game like this one. Hearing that he scored a hat-trick behind closed doors in midweek has only reinforced my thoughts on that. I don't really think playing Kirk so far wide on the right has been working and feel we need to try a different shape up front.

I posted on the Aberdeen thread that I'd like us to try the following, and I still feel this would be our best team for tomorrow:

____________________Fisher

___________Balodis Mitchell Douglas

Curtis ______Sprangler Holt ________Wright

___________________Griffith

________________Clark Sidibeh

That would give us some excellent impact options to bring on from the bench, with Kirk, Carey, Duke-McKenna and Kimpioka all potentially capable of coming on and changing a game.

I couldn't disagree with that and I love Kirk coming on for a late threat but I still think he'll keep continuity with the last team.

I agree I though, the forwards against the sheep were Jaded and even Sidibeh lacked energy.

 

I fancy us to win this I really do - (it's the delusional Saint about me ) a win to keep us believeing for a bit longer. It's the hope that kills you.

[RandomGuy]

Line up really picks itself almost. Just pick two from Griffith, Carey, Svedberg, Sidibeh or Kirk (whoever doesn't start), Kimpioka, Duke-McKenna, to play beside Fisher, Wright, Curtis, Mitchell, Balodis, Douglas, Sprangler, Holt, Sidibeh or Kirk.

[Tricky6]

I’m not overly enthused by the team selection….please prove me wrong! 

[Templar Saint]

[saintee in exile]

Not enough up front to win the game.Love to be wrong though

[RandomGuy]

Think it's one about keeping in control of things early and then opening up and going for it late on if the game allows.

Hibs will start fast so you've got to cope with that and earn the chance to have a period on top yourself.

[saintee in exile]

It's certainly a defensive line up.Heres hoping that pans out and we stay in the game long enough to sneak a late win

[templeofsaints]

Matthew McDermid the referee so we're pretty much fecked either way today

[Kat71]

McDermid shouldn’t be allowed to referee school boy football.

[Tattie-bogle]

This pointless passing just for the sake of passing is really doing my head in now 

[RandomGuy]

Curtis with an absolute howler. Stood in his own box under pressure and waiting to be tackled.

[Gekko]

That was entirely our fault.

Sometimes, a boot up the park is the best option.
