Well I think this is gonna be a tough assignment for Hibs v a Swiss team from a better footie top league than we have here in Scotland. However, we have a small chance to qualify and Hibs really need to show up in the 1st leg at ER Stadium to try and register some kinda positive result before they travel to Switzerland a week later. I'll be there to give them my support and can only hope that Johnson chooses his best team for this type of Euro challenge and applies a sensible strategy, defensively and in attack, to ensure Hibs are competing in this play-off until the very end when the winner is confirmed.

Vente and le Fondre looked good and could be an exciting new double act. Early days but both have a lot of potential.

That was much more like it. The result flattered us a wee bit but LJ was tactically bold, played the players in their correct positions and our forwards carried a threat. - Vente could be the real thing, but i really like the look of Ovita as well.
Best player on the park was Joe Newell though, but of course the tie is not over yet.

I think Youann will need to "up his game" to keep Obita away from his wing position. The Frenchman has not been playing well enough to get a starting place.
