So another Embro Derby looms closer as Hertz and Potter, "licking their wounds"after another limp concession to Rangers at Ibronx!!! But I and most Hibs fans know only too well that Potter will be ready for one of his "big games", his top priority against Hibs eh!!! And try to beat us again!! I notice that he has violated the new rule on concussion/head knocks that cover football and rugby injuries by recalling his big "battering ram" centre forward who, by all accounts, was totally ga ga v Aberdeen with concussion and stretchered off five days ago!! This rule is devised to protect players from themselves and it was interesting listening to a bbc radio debate on this very subject!! I call it desperation which is no excuse and is one of the reasons why the medical reg was introduced to contact sports like footie and rugby.
Anyway, Hibs go to the "pink bus shelter" still unbeaten under Paul Heckingbottom and in good shape to poss attain a positive result v a Hertz side which IMO is not as good as many folk seem to think it is but it is a home game for them on a small pitch and they will likely win it under Potter's usual negative guidance. It is also interesting when one looks at both clubs' league stats as the glaring one is Hertz negative GD while Hibs, 1 pt behind them, is +14 and yet we are not ahead of them - unusual!! I'd love to beat them now mainly to balance out a number of "duff calls" that we have experienced at this venue, some of them absolutely disgraceful!! A real "pumping" of Potter and his team would be heaven sent but any win would be enough!! Don't lose this game Hibs esp after all the good recovery work in attaining a "top six" finish!!
