Hibs will be welcoming the Steelmen (do they have a new nickname nowadays?) to Easter Road on Tuesday afternoon before the New Year break kicks in. Hibs' recent form has been a bit patchy, with plenty of promise spoiled by individual lapses. This should be a great chance for them to get back on the winning trail with Motherwell going through a worse time, although only 8 points behind us.
We'll be losing Martin Boyle (a definite miss) and Lewis Miller (both good and bad) for the Asian Cup as well as Rocky Bushiri (no great miss) and Jojo Wollacott (don't really know enough about him as long as David Marshall retains the No1 jersey) for the African Cup of Nations. It'll possibly be mid-February before they're all back, so it's an ideal time for some newer faces (and older ones returning) to come into the first team reckoning.
After this game we have 18 days before the Scottish Cup-tie against Forfar to get a better idea of where we're going with new players coming in,etc. Nick Montgomery will definitely have a better idea of who fits into his playing style and who doesn't.
Happy New Year to all Hibees everywhere and look forward to an upturn in our fortunes. GGTTH
