Shake It All About?
There'll not be much shaking about in defence as that's the area where we've done the least business. Oxley has come back and Reguero has replaced Cerny on the bench with McGregor covering for Gray. The only genuine left-back we had has left, leaving Stevenson filling in yet again.
Despite the departure of Scott Allan, the midfield has an embarrassment of riches and there's now genuine competition for places. With Fyvie, McGeouch and Stanton (less so) from last season, the addition of Bartley, Carmichael, McGinn and Henderson will make life interesting with regards to squad rotation.
The same could be said for the forwards. Certainly Anier will be expecting regular games, as will Keatings, leaving the "old" guard of Cummings, Malonga, El Alagui and Boyle fighting off Feruz and Insall. Could it be that Feruz gets a game or two with the Under-20s? - Lewis Allan and Conner Duthie are both out on loan.

All in all, it's been a very positive summer for Hibs, with Alan Stubbs seemingly ready to lose some goals in the knowledge that plenty of attacking players will score enough to win games well. Look out for 3-4-3 formations and lots of attacking substitutions.    Onwards and upwards.
