Haven't been to any recent games but have heard from others that Spittal and Telfer have been 'indifferent'.Is that fair,those who have seen them of late?I did see Spittal against Dunfermline in the Irn Bru and thought he was 'ok',but just 'ok'.

Hard to know our best 11 tbh or who Mckinnon will go with but my team would be.

Bell

VDS
Durnan
Edjenguele
Robson

Murdoch
Flood

Fraser
Andreu
Obadeyi

Murray

Subs -

Zwick
Dillon
Toshney
Telfer
Van Der Velden
Cammy Smith
Spittal

I'd go with that team Tek but would swap Murdoch for Telfer.  I think Murdoch is the better player but he's been out for a while and won't be quite up to speed yet.

Cannot afford two passengers in Murray and Tope, Murray was the worst tangerine player by a country mile at Morton and its definitely time to play Cammy Smith.
You have to be fair to the squad and those two have had more than enough chances to shine, Murray only has 4 league goals the same amount as our CH duo have chipped in with.
 
No danger Murdoch either he's not played in months and this isn't a game to throw a player who's been out for that long in to.

I'd agree with AP: I'd have VdV and Cammy Smith in for Tope and Murray. 

And Telfer too should start.

 
Totally agree with this. 

Expecting Telfer to start, but not the other 2 tho.

I quite like VDV,technically he is excellent (at our level).

Though my worry is he slows our play down quite a bit.

Cammy Smith i have to confess other than that Partick rout early doors i am failing to see what he really offers if I'm honest (albeit i certainly haven't seen him as much as some of you lads).

Maybe that's unfair on the latter but just my opinion.

Hibs are one side who will come to Tannadice and NOT sit in.Neil Lennon say what you want about him is a winner who will set his side out accordingly.

This means pace could be vital as we will get opportunities on the counter.Though the gamble is do you exploit this from the off or wait till they tire and the game opens up a bit?

I'll wager Toshney starts somewhere. Probably ahead of Telfer in cm but possibly at rb instead of VDS.

No feckin danger Toshney should replace VDS, , he's been a rock lately as have the whole back four to be fair.


Changing things to accommodate a favourite will only hurt us

I never said I was happy about it.

But I bet it happens. He's McKinnon's man.
 

We've averaged 55% possession at home over last 7 games. Hibs not used to that if we can do something similar. We can play on the break better if the opposite happens. 

I've mair confidence in RMcK than treacle teeth in being tactically savvy and having player belief.

Both sets of fans will be crucial in the outcome. They will bring more than the usual to an away game & us the same for a home game.

We have to go with a determination to be vocal throught.

Friday night & beemed to millions means future image to incoming January players we try to attract is an un thought of factor.
I'd encourage every Utd fan going to have an extra double afore they leave the pub.

Anyone who's ever stood and sung needs to stand and sing at every opportunity.

Chance to go level is so much the opposite to the start of a slide and playoffs are a massive gamble.

This is bigger than the Europa League games we backed the team well at.

Toshney for Telfer please, need a bit of braun v fizzical Hibs.
And Obladee, obladah, Tope goes on, yeah...
Obadeyi to come good. If not, wheech him off at half-time but I think it could be his sort of game.

FKT, by the end of the transfer window we'll have played around two-thirds of our league fixtures, which might have had a telling effect on where we finish. To be fair, there are only three league games scheduled for January, but it'd be good to think Ray has plans for the start of that month, rather than the end.

To the game tonight: we've not set the heather on fire while we have secured good results in the last eight league games, hoping tonight for a big team performance. But 'hoping' rather than 'expecting'.

I wouldn't be too upset at a draw, given where we were at the end of last season. 

I'd take a draw right now but then we've got them again 5 weeks tonite and I guess we'd take a draw then as well? They'll be hoping for 4 points out of the 6. This is their first game minus Fyvie & McGinn so I wonder if I'm being a bit cautious not going for 3 points tonite. It's been the heart of their midfield all season & I don't see obvious replacements, it's upfront they have spare resources.

5-0 for us

I wonder how Manchester United manage to get 75,000 fans into Old Trafford.
We approach a five figure crowd & seem to be in disarray.
Can't be that difficult?
