Normally I would say this is a decent cup tie v lower league opposition and hopefully quite a few of Hibs best youth players could be given a start to gain the experience and play well! However, the "alarm bells are ringing" and I think there is a serious threat to Hibs progress in this tourney if they don't "brighten up their ideas"!!! One can only hope that the players "raise their game" as they seem to do in bigger matches. But is this one regarded by them as a "big match"!? It's a cup tie and lets try to win it v opponents who we are well capable of beating and doing it very well but one of our probs is a misfiring strike force that continues to "misfire"!!!
If I could contact Eddie May, I'd strongly advise him to just keep a close eye on Rovers' forward Vaughan who will be their main scoring threat. Ensure that certain Hibs players are aware of this threat and deal with it tactically!! Otherwise focus on how to beat this team with our best attacking side that is balanced in the mid area to thwart any forward threat by them. We definitely have the players to do it but they must perform. C'mon Hibs!
