Well I must say this looks like a foregone conclusion - a defeat for Hibs v another bottom of the league opponent! And I base that conclusion on Hibs rotten performance v an average Motherwell team that the guys normally defeat without too much difficulty. Plus the fact I have no belief in Johnson's ability to be an astute manager with solid tactical nous. One "ray of hope" is the fact Jim Goodwin has not won a match since taking over the manager's role at Tannadice. However, United are battling to save their Scot Prem status and Johnson never seems to be able to motivate his own Hibs players to match up to this type of commitment at all; after all, we're still "in the mix" to fight for a 3rd or 4th place in the Scot Prem and a guaranteed Euro footie slot to potentially pull in some welcome finance - that's the target! Youan returning from a one match suspension and that is a welcome bit of positive news. I hope I'm wrong re my perception of this match and the end result. However, the previous match indicators/stats are not good with Hibs looking like they are "running on fumes" and a manager who doesn't impress me at all.
