Gadgey Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Neil Lennon is in many respects, a Colin O'Neil type of character. Total commitment to the teams he played for, a face you'd never tire punching and was totally hated by opposition fans for both those very things. I should imagine that besides those who are never happy with anything the club does, there wouldn't be many grumbling if he had been our manager. He's made some good signings at Hibs and has managed to make them stronger than they have been in many years. He seems to have them playing as a unit and whilst they may be inconsistent over the piece, they will be very difficult to beat on their own patch on Saturday. I would be most content with a draw.

superward Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hard one to predict form given the odd home/away balance. (How did Hibs manage to get 3 away games in the first four anyway? Usually it's a rule it's even split I think 2 and 2?) I think we'll give a good account of ourselves. Draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hibs have had 2 home games so far Thistle and Accies so no idea where this only had 1 home game is coming from . Maybe they dont count defeats lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilmour Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 God I'm bored with the Lennon stuff how about the football ? A win would be nice at 5/1 but I'd take a draw right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 At this stage of the season, I'd be more apply with another performance that proves we are on the right track. We have not had a complete ninety minutes yet and it will probably take our best performance of the season , so far, to take something from this fixture. Having said that, it would be great to keep building momentum by continuing our recent good run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiddy Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 most displays this season should ...... be better than 99% of last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Just had a look at train times........only 3 direct trains back to Motherwell after the game 17.42 ,18.26 then 23.14 The inter city trains don't seem to be available .....engineering works ??? Yeah, going through is no bother on the 11am inter city but the return options are a bit strange. The 18.26 is an ok journey time but a bit early for a day out plan and the 23.14 is a bit late if I want to survive Sunday! There's other options but they take a long time due to changes. A lot more complicated than it has been in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezz Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Looking forward to this one. I live about a 10 minute walk from Easter Road so this is my home game. As others have said, this game should provide a good indication of where we're at and really test just how good some of our new guys are as they come up against some of the better players in the league - Kipre vs Stokes, Bigi/Rose vs Mcginn etc. My mindset going into this game could not be more different than to a comparable game last year. You know that with this team you are guaranteed effort and endeavour which was not the case with every game last year and whilst that doesn't count for everything you can be sure there won't be any 1-5 Dundee or 6-0 (was it?) Hearts performances. Hibs will know they've been in a game. Overall I would be satisfied with a draw but if Accies can go there and win there's no reason why we can't do the same. Being cautious I'll predict an entertaining 2-2. Moult and Bowman for us, Stokes and Boyle for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 It'll be interesting to see if we go with two up front tomorrow. I can see the case for both sides of either Moult up himself or continue the partnership with Moult and Bowman. I just hope we don't end up playing like we did in Perth with a striker playing on the left wing and being completely ineffective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukemfc1 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Can anyone offer any advice on good streets to park on please? Usually get the train through there but using car tomorrow. Also does anyone know if the ticket office is open tomorrow? I know Hibs are selling tickets over there but sounds like it might be a bit of a pain in the arse. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Im sure for away fans, Hibs have a portacabin for tickets at the actual away stand so you will be ok wi that. No idea for parking tho,anytime I went was when my parents lived in albion gardens across from the stadium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Off Lochend Road nearer Leith Links is usually fine for us if you are ok with a 15 minute walk or so. Last time I was there we went for lunch and drinks on Easter Road and got parked just 5 mins walk away on one of the streets west of Easter road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Yeah, parking on the street is normally ok although they're getting much bigger crowds now than when we were last there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezz Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 As above..I'd get there quite early and try to park around the Albion road area. Not sure how it'll be now with their bigger crowds though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we have proved on numerous occasions that Moult isnt as effective up front on his own. His partnership with Bowman looks very promising. It would be utter madness to split it up tomorrow. Lets play our game and let Hibs worry about how to deal with us instead of the other way about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right but I think we need to prove a few things before we can go and attack against better teams. I'm less bothered about tomorrow than Thursday night which is a massive game but the defensive performance in the first half against Rangers and against St Johnstone is still in my mind. These next three games are a step up. I'd go.... Carson Tait Kipre Hartley Dunne Cadden Campbell Bigirimama Mchugh Tanner Moult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson Tait Kipre Hartley Dunne Cadden Campbell Bigirimama Mchugh Tanner Moult Your lack of belief in Bowman's abilities have been well stated but I don't think that when we finally get to the point after a year where any striker is in as good a place as he's ever been since arriving at the club and has just scored in consecutive games that papping him back on the bench is really the most clever thing to do.

MelvinBragg Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'd go.... Carson Tait Kipre Hartley Dunne Cadden Campbell Bigirimama Mchugh Tanner Moult A few problems with that. Dunne is not a left back. Tait is more suited to wing back as he's better going forward than defensively. Moult finds it difficult playing up front himself. For me, we don't have the players for 451. And not really for 442 either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Moult scored two playing up front alone against Celtic last season. He just needs to stay in the middle and wait for service rather than drifting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
