Hibs travelling north to Gayfield Park and hoping that a major shock is not "on the cards" esp with our strikers not doing anything of substance for weeks - rank rotten TBF!! Plus the fact we haven't won a match since the new year with the win v Cove Rangers having been unimpressively attained in ET when Nisbet actually did something right and scored a goal. I wonder if the manager will field another experimental line up or treat this game as a full-blooded cup tie that we need to win. He needs to quickly find an accountable first team that will win matches. Otherwise I think there's a strong possibility we'll be drawn in to the relegation struggle in the Scot Prem, such is the weakness in certain areas of the pitch plus a lack of improvement in said areas.

Couldn't agree more with this analysis. We've half a chance to win one-off games, so we've got to concentrate on these. In my opinion, we'll do nothing of consequence in the league games and probably finish in the bottom 6. The conditions might turn out to be a great leveller on Sunday, so be professional and clinical.
So, a strong team versus Arbroath please and remind the players they are playing for a Hibs future beyond the summer.

On the same theme, note SM finally commenting in his pre-match interview at Ibronx that there is a prob because of the absence of Martin Boyle and the significant contribution he gave to the team in goal terms. The manager saying that they'll deal with the problem in the summer!!!!????? So what happens in the interim Shaun eh??????????

We made a total mess of that last window...... Unless Melkerson suddenly emerges as a goal machine.

It's all happening now. 3-1 to Hibs.
I looked Nicky Low up when he came on. He is never only 30.

Good result against difficult opponents on a tricky surface. Banana skin avoided.
Lewis was at his inspirational best and Mueller is clearly a player.
