[0762]

The games are coming thick n fast now and there's no respite for a Hibs team under massive pressure. We'll see what team has the desire to go out and win this game and most Hibs fans will be wondering if this current team has lost it's way for various reasons. The best reaction is a positive one but disappointingly they are not doing it! They travel to Dumfries in trepidation and our form tells us we will dominate this match but will we be picked off again or will certain key players start doing their jobs properly and overcome that mental fragility that seems to have overcome them. No Hanlon - so Stubbs must decide on fielding Fontaine or Gunnarson to play alongside Darren Mac. Like ritchiebaby, I'd also like to see Virtanen in goal and be done with this change before the first of the crucial cup matches takes place. I hope Gray can play in this match. Re the strikers - take your pick of any misfiring striker, currently no genuine pen box striker is one of our main failings. Farid won't last a full match. So it's Jason and AN Other or just omit Jason altogether. Midfield? No McGeouch, no Fyvie. So Bartley, Hendo, McGinn and a lightweight Carmichael will likely be 'given the nod'. They lose Harris due to ineligibility. All I can say is, 'Good luck Hibs'. We need a win to 'balance the ship' and, on paper, that doesn't look likely. It's time to pray for a revival!
