G.E.C. 19,594 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I didn’t realise that stat. Remember we lost on penalties under Eck but can’t remember the last time we played them at Hampden prior to that game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ever try and play down my stat knowledge please. Thanks I was right pal, admit it. Apology accepted.

All three can score goals but their job is to provide a platform for the forwards and also provide cover for the defence which, given our recent habit of giving away the first goal, would not be a bad thing. Dont know where this perception of “Jack, Davis, Kamara = defensive” came from but I just don’t see it. I desperately want to see us win a cup again and we can’t afford to fuck about in a semi final. They are our three best midfielders so get them in and let Aribo loose. billscott 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negri's lovechild 15,400 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 This is a great opportunity for the squad to show the new manager who is up for the challenge and we will see if anyone has downed tools. Hopefully we go for it from the start and smash them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,891 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I don’t actually feel very confident for this But Sakala is flying and you’d imagine the players will still get a bounce from the new appointment even if he isn’t in the dugout Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the forwards know that their backsides are covered, then they can concentrate on attacking. I agree that Davis is unlikely to pop up in the Hibs box but the other two can and have scored goals. I also think that Tav is more effective going forward when Ryan Jack is beside him. billscott 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,819 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hibs have lost their last 4 games to us, sheep, scumdee utd and them. We should scud them if we are at it, but they will be up for it too. Absolutely no doubt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingObv 10,860 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Could really do with the trickery and skill of a player like Weiss for this sort of game. Anyone else think Gio should look to bring him home ASAP? Clemdog and .Williamson. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
