Almost a week to go and Hibs allocation of away tickets for the Roseburn Stand sold out. Hibs mini winter break in the Algarve will be over and its 'down to business' and extending our unbeaten run against Hertz to a magical 10-in-a-row!!
I've no doubt they will be desperate to win this match and still have some interest in a Scottish Cup tourney that they have no chance of winning anyway! We have a reasonable chance with our player resources and I think Lenny should motivate the Hibs players by referring to that farcical ignored Ollie Shaw goal/match winner that robbed us of a deserved tactical win over Hertz in the previous Derby at the PBS. I'll be curious to see what Lenny's starting line up will be and I suspect he will use similar tactics to tackle Hearts on a pitch that is not conducive to playing decent footie. They have lost Walker, 'laughing boy' suspended, and definitely not as good as Potter thinks they are! I'm wondering if Lenny will pitch Maclaren into this match from the start as I gather that he looks 'razor sharp' and is already impressive on the training pitch - a curious predicament: Shaw or Maclaren from the start or drop Stokesy and start the two of them!?
Here's hoping we get the victory that makes up for that last refereeing farce at the PBS. On the same subject, I wonder who the assigned ref will be this time and if this one will avoid being 'slaughtered' by Chris Sutton or Mikey Stewart!!
