​

 

Stickied.

 

3-0

Stokes x2 Ledley

 

I thought it was Hearts we were playing for some reason. Do we play Hearts soon?

 

Not until after the split now

 

I would like to see another 5 or more on Wednesday. We really need to show that we're not going to be complacent.

Only change/s I'd make is Forrest for Commons or Sammy and Wanyama for Ki.

STOKES AND HOOPER MUST START!!!!

We dont play them until after the split.

Dunfermline H
Motherwell H
Aberdeen A
Dundee United Scottish Cup 1/4 Final A
Kilmarnock League Cup Final
Rangers A
St Johnstone H
Kilmarnock A

Then it's the split

 

Think big Vic should get a rest. Passing has looked a bit off recently, and I can't remember the last time he didn't start a game.

Maybe have Commons in there instead of Samaras to get game time. I'd be happy with either. But Stooper have to start for me.
4-0 to the Bhoys. We seem to have a problem killing teams off at CP, so let's start the way we started last time we played Dunfermline at home and continue the way we did today.

 

I agree with the OP. Matthews and Forrest could use a rest, so I'd have both sitting this one out.

Hope either Lustig or M.Wilson is available for this game.


ETA: Not sure about dropping Wanyama. I'd only do so if we have a similarly stern, no -nonsense, tough-tackling player to come in...we don't. Nearest would be Kayal (out) and Juarez hasn't played a game since...when?

 

* know where I got Hearts from

Should be another pumping on Wednesday That Dunfermline aren't ahead of Hibs right now shows you how bad they are.

 

Dunfermline are tied on Hibs with points, but have a worse goal difference than them, even taking in today's mauling.

This a perfect opportunity to rest some individuals. It's at home and we're on the treble hunt.

 

4-1 i reckon.

 

I forgot about him Would like to see him on the bench.

easy win for the hoops another 4 or 5 nil.

 

Me too. Only recently returned to us, but he's played for Sociedad (in a better league) 15 times already this season, so can't be that far off the pace.

Maybe a little soon to select him in the first team, but definitely has the quality to step in.

 

He could even play at RB to give Matthews a rest. Only if Wilson and Lustig aren't fit though.

Didn't think of this. I'd support that decision, though. Juarez certainly wouldn't be out of place at RB, either.
