Has 0-2 written all over it. Which will give us rangers in the next round. Had a dream last night about it.

That is nowhere close to what the team will be.

Expect changes and full strength at Caley.

There is three changes in that team. Can only see it being 3, 4 or max 5 changes.

 

We might be doing well but we are not in the realms of 8 changes etc quite yet

Buzzin. Da care fa starts

[Tord31]

Remembering there is 2 week international breaks in both October and November I dont think there is huge need to rest everyone.

 

Reduce the amount of players playing three games in a week slightly though.

 

We cant afford to rest McGinn tho

[CalgaryDon]

I'm anticipating a relatively tough match. Hibs have acquired a few solid signings from Celtic and of course McGinn of St Mirren - although I wasn't terribly impressed by McGinn last season. The travelling support we will bring will give the team some added confidence. I dont see Hibs offering the same type of challenge that I expected of Hearts today - certainly won't be such a physical contest - complete contrast in style of play when compared to Hearts. Expect a few changes - Pawlett, Rooney and Flood to start with Goodie and Quinn taking a breather. I actually hope we start Goodie again for this one - he's a player that requires confidence and after todays performance he'll have it in abundance - lets utilize it. Our players will be tired going into this one - can see a similar display as we did against Hamilton last week offering us a narrow win. DM as always will have done his homework in time for this fixture and will rotate players were appropriate having learnt from his mistakes about utilizing his squad last season.

I can see a big crowd for this. Roughly 13k.

 

Flood, Rooney and maybe Scott Brown will come in.

[The Lighthouse]

No idea why we should be looking to change the keeper......

Sma this.

[ericblack4boss]

I reckon too many changes and the run will go, but since most on here couldn't give a fuck about the league cup, it won't disappoint too many, and before you all start there have been folk on here openly admitting they would forfeit this cup to win the league,

 

I would too, but we have to assume we won't win the league so need to take this seriously,

[The Lighthouse]

Agreed but if we get to whack Sevco that would be worthwhile.

Good post.

 

Hard to miss a game atm.

 

Abuldeen ftw.

[zander]

Routine win for the famous.

2-0 without even hitting top gear.

[Tord31]

We need to go for the win. League Cup is such that only two wins takes us to Hampden. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

 

Arrange the teams (taking into account Caley) that only a 3 or so players need to play the full 3 games is easy enough.

 

You've already got Hayes and Rooney that will 100% start on Saturday.

[1903Fitba]

We will smash these cunts 8-0.

 

 

Fuck em right in the pussy, back to the championship you peasants.

[Guest RosemountRed]

Hope to see Smith starting, and two up front.

 

Surely we'll sell even more tickets now, already basically filled the bottom tier, should take around 3000.

They are in the Championship.

[The Cockney Don]

1 - 1, then win 2 or 3 - 1 in extra-time.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Smith for Mcgloughlin, in your line up and considine at LB and Shinnie in for Flood and there's your team. 3-0 half time. Then make whatever changes you want.

 

FWIW I can see hunco struggling against St J. Dumbarton snuffed them out yesterday but didn't have the legs. A full time team will.

[dj_bollocks]

Hopefully this is the 4 or 5 goal pumping that we know we have in us… See you there !

[Tord31]

I think McLaughlin will get a start for this one. I think after resting Logan last week though it will be aswell as Logan as opposed to replacing him.

[Tord31]

fair do's if he's getting a game off. Played well when he came on in the last midweek game like.

[zander]

Logan wont be available. Away Manchester to see family as per standard after weekend game.

What happens with his training regime as he is in Manchester during week?

Surely nae?

[Guest RosemountRed]

Yeah hoping fora few goals, Hibs are very dodgy at the back.

[1903Fitba]

Exactly. One game of playing us then back to their championship fodder.

[lukas989]

I'm looking forward to being at Easter road again. Wonderful pies.

 

Plus ripping the pish out of their dumb drummer bellend is fun.
