I also hope he starts big graham with Jason nothing against holt but if we go with these two and Boyle wide right we defo more mobile up top honestly think the more pace we have to move their defence about the better the ball will zip about on their pitch.

holt looks like he could use a break bounce.

holt looks like he could use a break bounce.

He's put in a power of work for HFC jim we all knew he won't play 90 mins every game so as you say rest him this week and he's ready to face utd next week.

As you rightly say in another post I no it won't be easy for us on sat but hopefully we can get the result we need and back to the top of the league.

On EEN sport Lenny acknowledging the threat from Dobbie and how he expected the striker's fine form in this league! I'm forgetting that Lenny had him signed up at Bolton and should be very familiar with his kinda threat. One simple question to ask is, 'Why didn't Hibs sign him'? I'm guessing that Lenny felt he was covered in the striking positions but he did sign up Brian Graham fairly late in August. So the other assumption would be that he probably perceived that Dobbie will not last a full season or full games any more. We'll see if that's the case but lets just win this match with aplomb compared with the last two fixtures where we've been a tad sluggish TBF!

Off down to plymouth uni now for my stepdaughters graduation this morning and party on this afternoon, hoping for a convincing Hibs victory to make complete a lovely day GGTTH

well thats a sending off i'd like to see again! The 1st yellow certainly looked soft.

Just like last week i think we would have won this but for the sending off. Just like last week our opponents were committing far more fouls too! A point in difficult weather conditions,on a crap pitch with those circumstances i can about handle,and the result suits us more than queens.

The other results didn't go our way particularly though and 3 points v utd next week is a must.

No great damage done TBF but we need to pick up the momentum and agreed next week's match v United is a victory that Hibs need to attain with the positions of the top four teams in this league starting to 'tighten up'. It will be curious to see if Lenny plays three at the back next week with Stevo missing unless he appeals these yellow/red card decisions which certainly looked very soft! One positive factor after today's 0-0 draw is no goals lost again and IMO that would've been six consecutive matches with no goals conceded if an awful referee had not inadvertently interfered in our game with Ayr Utd last Saturday. One concern is Jason misfires in a match like this one and no other Hibs player is 'mucking in' with goals!! I'd personally like to see more goals coming from Hibs mid area but it's not happening enough!!

After the sending off lennon set us up not to lose the 3 points first i think. Not many teams are going to dominate us in this division but we still need some more goals from areas that are not jason cummings. I was hopeful that was becoming less of an issue but maybe not quite yet.

Next week we will drop to a back 3,or play hanlon or young crane at left back ?

And with a big Hibs support backing the guys all the way - maybe the biggest home attendance of the season (live TV coverage may well scupper that high attendance) and this time I pray that the Hibs don't disappoint this crowd for a second consecutive time at home!
