As SCO rightly says in the previous thread, Hibs have had a good kick up the backside last night from Livingston, with the visitors almost restricting Hibs to a single point. There is no such thing as an easy game at this stage of the season. Every team is fighting for points for one reason or another.
Cowdenbeath have lost 66 goals in their 26 games so far, mainly due to Hearts (17 in 3 games) which would suggest a poor team, but they have already beaten QOS twice, drawn with Rangers and restricted Hibs to two single goal wins earlier in the season. It's totally dependent on which Cowdenbeath team turns up. They are currently just above the Championship danger zone and with their next 3 games to come against QOS, Falkirk and Rangers, points will be hard to come by.
Therefore it's up to Hibs to make sure that we don't provide them with a boost to their confidence. Another strong team is required for this match, again not all first choices, but certainly good enough to win this. I'd have the following starting line-up:-
Oxley,
Gray, Hanlon, Fontaine, Stevenson,
Handling, Fyvie, Craig, Allan,
Cummings, Malonga.
Subs - Watson, McGeouch, Dja Djedje.
