Match Thread Hibs v Aberdeen

[Hoppy]

This game is now massive.  A good response to the St. Mirren disappointment is critical.  Nothing less than a win is acceptable.

Agreed, especially with Hearts away then Celtic at home our next two games after Hibs on Tuesday, we really really need to win.

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Think we’ll make a few changes from last night:

Mitov

Devlin. Rubezic. Milne. MacKenzie

Shinnie. Palaversa

Keskinen  Clarkson. Duk

Nisbet

[Mr Brightside]

I think the back 4 will be the same.

palaversa, Nisbet, Duk and maybe keskinen will start

McGrath for Clarkson. Milne for Molloy and that won’t be far away. Morris might retain his spot too.

[Schapenneuker]

Weirdly, this a game that Clarkson plays well in. He'll get more space and time against Hibs than he did yesterday. 

He doesn't deserve a start though. 

 

[DandyWarhol]

I'd go with:

Mitov

Devlin Rubezic Molloy Mackenzie 

Palaversa Shinnie 

Morris Besuijen Keskinen

Duk

In reality I think both McGrath and Nisbet will start.

I'm not sure how this one is going to go - I'd take any sort of win.  Hopefully Hibs persist with Bursic in goals.

[Arthur FN Shelby]

Mitov

Devlin Ruby Molloy MacKenzie

Palaversa Nilsen

Morris Vinny McGrath Duk

       Nisbet.

Hopefully the ref won't notice the extra player 

[starryfish]

The lack of options to defensively rotate with 4 matches in 11 days is really going to catch up with us

It was of course deliberate on my part, waiting to see if anyone would notice, ahem.

Well done you.

I’m having a thick day, only happens 7 times a week.

Nihing wrang wi a 4 2 4 1 is there?? 🤣

[Snelders Snottters 89]

I.think we'll win but its a certainty we will concede a goal. We have hardly kept a clean sheet all season.  Molloy is not good enough.

[davierobb]

Had Hibs game on radio driving back yesterday. By all accounts Dundee were poor and Hibs were on top until the red card. Red card changes everything. Seems Hibs are good going forward but either defensive mishaps, red cards or goalkeeper howlers cost them then they fold like a deck of cards ( remember us under goodwin last 3 games).

Lot may depend on what Hibs board do between now and Tuesday night, but please can we be on the front foot and be ruthless and not wait until half time to move up a gear. Make it like a cup game , big support, lots of pressing coz they will fold.

[aberdeen1970]

All our league games have been tight and this will be no different. 

Counting points before we've earned them is a dangerous game 

[Willo flood]

A game we need to be winning as it’s two very tough fixtures after that. 
 

- Yes Hearts are shite but there’s typically more chance of someone rising from the dead then us winning at Tynecastle. 

[dj_bollocks]

Ach we'll be fine...Get Clarkson back on the bench, start Nisbet and get in their faces... Job done. I'd be recalling Fletcher Boyd and giving him the game time that Clarkson is getting at the moment...

I wouldn't be against giving that team a go. Morris was terrific in the first half yesterday and deserves to retain his place. We need another direct runner on the other wing so Keskinen there. I'd also be up for giving Besoujin a shot in the 10 role, but suspect McGrath will get the nod there. The best thing in your line up is having Duk up front - 100% the best striker we have. Nisbet looked really good in second half v Dundee but more often than not he's been off the boil this season. Sokler shows occasional moments of promise but generally isn't good enough.

Recalling him from where?

[dj_bollocks]

Whoops it was Findlay Marshall on loan... Well anyway... We've seen how ineffectual Clrkson has been of late, get FB some match time and see what he offers...

[Tord31]

Boyd's time will come later in the season

[Frank Grimes]

I never bet on Aberdeen but how the fuck are we 9/5 on Tuesday?

I’ll be livid if we don’t win this comfortably, Hibs are a fucking mess 

[Parklife]

We'll fuck these loser cunts. 0-4. 

COYR.

Aye Duk's back heel attempt , shows despite his lack of goals he still has confidence.

Presumably he means as in -

”who? Oh yeah that young loon, scored a couple of goals last season? I suppose we could give him a game”

[ab24_5qh]

We need better hold up play from whoever plays as striker, and better support from central midfield. You could see St Mirren were really quick to close down wide players, doubling up on Duk when he came on, which lead to really slow build up play. We've become a bit predictable, time to mix things up, and get more threat through the middle.

Mental 14/5 for the win & 2 goals or more & 2/1  for 90 minute win

I hate saying it but they actually looked very good in the first half against Celtic. It’ll be a tough game.
