Would like to see (if all fit)

Bell
VDS Durnan. Edjenguele. Dixon
Flood
Spittal. Smith. Fraser
Andreu
VDV

Spittal does not merit another start IMO or Fraser come to think of it although a game like this could suit Fraser but he's pissing me off again with his half hearted shit.

Billy_Hainey · 30/9/2016 8:04 pm

Would rather either of them than Murray, wouldn't mind Obadeyi starting.

Actually if Floods fit, then prob be him and Toshney in the 2, with Andreu, Smith + 1 in the 3.

Just hope that leaves VDV up top, that right now works best for us

He looked 100% better up there on his own than Murray did last week anyway.

Tangerine'n'Black · 30/9/2016 10:00 pm

No Murray or Fraser please and we stand a chance IMO

Wierd thing is this, if the pair of them had each others attributes/ best qualities they'd be no bad if you ken what I mean.

Have a feeling Murdoch will play in this one and a nearly fit Flood for a part of the match.

VDV to feed Andreu back the way from strikers position might give us the best chance. Maybe the opposite at times to confuse the Hibs defence.

lifesanocean · 30/9/2016 10:47 pm

McKinnon in Tully said none of Flood, Murdoch or Telfer will play any part.

I do, there's half a good player in each there and really don't think that they are ever going to step up a gear to what we require.

Both are lightweight, lack heart and dig which in our predicament is a problem as we can't afford any more passengers .......we've already got a defence to carry !

It's not a game to risk bringing back guys too early and set them back, there's options without that hopefully. ( ....... But not Fraser....or Spittal....or Simon please )

PatReilly · 01/10/2016 7:56 pm

I cannae see what LOA has posted, just a big link it seems.

Anyway.every result went favourably today, better than we could wish for collectively.

So we know what's going to happen...........

However, as a prediction, I'll go for 3 (THREE) -1 United. I've been out drinking today, as a disclaimer.

2-2 draw I reckon tomorrow. Andreu and VDV for us.

I'd be happy with that.

Foo Kin Twat · 02/10/2016 9:35 am

I'll settle for us taking anything point(s) wise back to Tanny. Mon Yenitit!

Tek · 02/10/2016 12:51 pm

Brutal first half.

TheShed · 02/10/2016 12:55 pm

Yep, managed to watch it and it's been pish.

Last week confirmed Murray up top alone doesnt work and VDV up top can work. So why the fuck is Murray up top??

We really haven't been in it.

Tek · 02/10/2016 1:57 pm

Much better second half and I'll take the draw.

But left feeling slightly disappointed as Hibs were there for the taking.

TheShed · 02/10/2016 1:58 pm

Decent point that. Would've taken that at the start. Still a lot of improving to do, and TBH disappointed with Ray's team set-up today, but decent point.

Btw seen a lot of moaning about Fraser again today, yet he was one of our top performers, seems to be an easy target right now. Almost everything we did create came thru him, he even put in a decent delivery from a corner for a change. Not saying he's the complete player at all but seems when our support makes its mind up on someone, that's it, and then refuses to take how they actually play game by game into account.

Ex Houston Arab · 02/10/2016 2:06 pm

Big improvement defensively. Much more organised.
Delighted to score from a corner.
Fraser played well.
If we are in the mix at Xmas and sign a decent striker, things will be looking decent.

Agree with Tek about potentially kicking on and winning - hibs are nothing to fear. There is a lot of games left to play.
If we had flood fit - could have been a different story

TheShed · 02/10/2016 2:11 pm

Absolutely Hibs are nothing to fear, No one in this league should be feared. The one advantage Hibs have is the depth in their squad over everyone else, but their starting 11 isn't really massively better than ours.
As everyone knows if only we had a real striker....

Tek · 02/10/2016 3:03 pm

Fraser was very good for us today.

Tried his best to drive the team on and in the absence of Flood and Murdoch I felt he competed well all over the midfield.

Great delivery for our equalizer also.

Foo Kin Twat · 02/10/2016 3:26 pm

That's a decent point given the injuries.

Billy_Hainey · 02/10/2016 5:02 pm

Decent point that as you say Foo Kin. Wish I'd been there to see any sign of a smile wiped off Ginge's pus.

lifesanocean · 02/10/2016 5:29 pm

I was there. Agree about Fraser who actually got his head up and drove at people.

Spittal was poor today but the stick he was getting off of one boy was fucking ridiculous. Some boy kept bawling at him about why he wasn't out wide; probably because we were playing with a narrow 3 in midfield 3 of Spittal, Toshney and Fraser with VV and Andreu in front of them then Murray up on his own.

VDV should be playing up front. Murray is fucking garbage, I lost count of the times Fraser and Andreu were waiting on him making runs and he made the wrong one.

VDS was poor again. Despite this when we got in forward areas we looked decent especially after Murray went off. Smith was good when he came on.

They are no great shakes.

A good point in the end.

Never went today, but that's two weeks running Obadeyi has made an immediate impact as a subbie.

Hibs defence looked as shaky as ours can be, and with more pressure, we might have got an even better result.
