something else Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Harder game than yesterday this one. Think Hibs are a better team than Hearts so another draw would be a great result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I think Hibs are a better team, but Hears have been more difficult to beat on their home patch. Lennon has been bemoaning the fact they lack a cutting edge, so hope that continues in this game. For all that, I'd be quite happy with a point.

Goggles & Flippers Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Saturday's fightback reminded me of the 2-2 at Easter Road early on in the season. Away from home, capital club, bigger budget, better league form and issues with us having equal possession over route 1. We'd be happy with a draw and ecstatic with a win (like Aberdeen 3-0). Only thing I hope for is .... if we get a significant goal, wither it be contentious, referee buffoonery, legal or illegal, I'd rather there's not a repeat of the handwringing and crap in the Hearts thread. These things even out over time and we've had a fair few shockers against us. For every Craig Reid free kick against Aberdeen on the last day of the season there's a Dundee in January away with McGhee's resting bitch face cranked up to the max. It's called Karma. And in it's absence I have ordered a voodoo doll resembling Sinclair from eBay which I'm going to prick more than Dougie Imrie's maw.

Kmcalpin Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 For every Craig Reid free kick against Aberdeen on the last day of the season I agree with most of what you're saying, but things haven't evened themselves out for us over the past few seasons. That was never a free kick at Pittodrie and in any event we should have had a penalty in thel lead up to the goal. Nuff said though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodo Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Settle for a point and hopefully we see a mark improvement in the performance ,the 2-2.game was good game to watch let's hope for the same on Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Always think a point away from home is decent. This is no different. In fact in all of Hibs home league matches this season there has never been more than 1 goal in the game so that suggests we are capable of getting something out of it. I'd expect it to be fairly tight. Getting pig sick of all these midweek matches though, with another one coming up next week that'll be me missing another two matches on top of the ones I've already missed. Sometimes feel that Scottish football makes it as hard as possible for fans to actually go to games.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Agree with Ya Bezzer. I think a draw and a point would be a good result. Be delighted with a tight win mind you. Didn't make Tyncastle, but I'll be headed to this one tomorrow via the pub. A small perk of living in the West but working in Edinburgh finally shows itself.

Toxteth O'Grady Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Motherwell: Carson, Tait, Grimshaw, McHugh, Main, Rose, Dunne, Aldred, Kipré, Campbell, Tanner Motherwell subs: Griffiths, Hendrie, Bigirimana, Hartley, Cadden, Petravicius, Çiftçi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Strange team. Ciftci, Hartley and Cadden all on the bench. Im, bizarrely, hoping Hartley might still be carrying a knock as not starting him, for me, is a really bad call. However, if hes carrying a knock and resting him as the rest of the defence is playing well it makes perfect sense not risking him. I dont think Ciftci is fully fit but will probably feature at some point. Not sure whats up with Cadden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Cadden on the bench. Injured or dropped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Clearly looking to shit fest this game tonight. Carson (distraught aswell) Tait, Kipre, Aldred, Dunne, Rose Grimshaw McHugh Campbell Tanner Main Hartley, Ciftci and cadden on the bench with Bigi, Dimi, Hendrie and Griffiths.

MelvinBragg Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Grimshaw and Tanner in for Cadden and Ciftci. Rose or Grimshaw at wing back? 442 with a diamond midfield? I don't know so hopefully neither does Neil Lennon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wispy Flossy Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Not a team I would have forecast - grimshaw or rose at right wing back you would assume and tanner playing off main As long as we return with a least a point and news of a centre forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swami Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Terrible team. Grimshaw should be nowhere near the starting 11. Not a massive fan of the tinker-man stuff that Robinson goes for sometimes, reeks a bit of over thinking things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Looks solid defensively that team however utter shite going forward. Only creative player is Tanner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Certainly a very cautious and defensive line up. No obvious outball. Still if we take something from the game it will have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 reeks a bit of over thinking things.For me it just suggests a team carrying a number of players that for varying reasons aren't 100% fit and are being managed back to the point where they are. Robinson I'll grant you is far from the most expansive gaffer who overloads his teams with attackers but I just see this as a compromise between managing the squad whilst putting out a team that has the potential of returning with a point (with attacking options awaiting as and when required).

It might well be, but he does have a completely mental decision in him from time to time, like starting Grimshaw ahead of Campbell in the League Cup Final right out of the blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hartley has some sort of foot injury that apparently needs to be managed for the rest of the season. This, and also the fact that Kipre and Aldred are keeping him out the team as it stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
