And after a gap, we now have the games coming thick and fast.

Motherwell have been a decent side this year, and picking up points at Kilmarnock on Saturday is a cracking result. Like us they don't lose often, but draw very often. That probably guides us to another likely draw tonight, but let's see if we can carry on the momentum of the last two games. Two wins, two clean sheets, much more like Hibs.

Motherwell I'm told have a cracking player in Tawanda Maswanhise, so I'll be keeping an eye on the Zimbabwean tonight.

As far as the team goes I suspect a couple of tweaks:

Sallinger
Rocky - Hanley - Iredale
Mulligan-Barlaser-Chaiwa-Obita
McGrath
Youan-Klidje

Bench has been really impressive this season, I think over the next 6 weeks we will see a bit more variety in starting line ups as injuries and rotations kick in.

I'd quite like it if Hibs didn't concede in the 45th+ or 90th+ minutes.

As always though, that's my thoughts, I'm more interested in hearing yours

I would start Bowie playing along side Klidje but I don’t see a problem with the rest of your selection.

No offence, but I really hope that isn’t our starting XI. We’ve just put together 2 really impressive performances back to back, players like N.Cadden finally starting to show their worth, to make wholesale changes seems madness to me. Same XI as Saturday unless injury enforced.

Motherwell have impressed me from the bits and bobs I’ve seen them. They won’t be sitting in that’s for sure, expect goals. I’d fancy our firepower and quality to shine through in a straight shootout, 3-2 Hibs

If everyone is fit, same team as Saturday with the exception of maybe Klidje in for Boyle.

The more defensive changes, like Obita for Nicky Cadden, I’d leave for Sunday.
 
Sallinger
Rocky hanley iredale
C cadden mulligan barlaser n cadden
McGrath
Klidje Bowie
Possibly Ohora for Rocky if he’s fit, doesn’t really deserve losing his spot because of injury 🤔
3-0 Hibs, no daft subs pls

Same as Saturday, and give Barlaser 90. No sure how Chris Cadden is after he went off injured so might no be able tae play the same team. If not I expect he'll play Mulligan in Chris's place and hopefully Chaiwa is fit enough tae play.
 
I think we're capable of going Saturday, Tuesday Sunday this week. So full strength. If we do have to drop Chris I'd rather go with Megwa.

Can't deal with Mulligan in Caddens spot. Should be a last resort only imo.

Sallinger
Rocky Hanley Iredale
Cadden Mulligan Barlaser Cadden
McGrath
Boyle Bowie
​
Rocky keeps O'Hora spot because he's no skipped a beat. Can't lose a space when you do no wrong.
O'Hora will need patience.

Stick with Bowie Boyle for the time being.


Hibees 💚🤍
 
i'd go with same team as Saturday, but resting Hanley with Celtc in mind, also remembering that this would be his fourth game in 10 days otherwise. So moving Rocky over one and bringing in O'Hora.
 
We now have Rocky,Warren and Grant for rotation ( Iredale more left side ) and Rocky will be off for internationals ( don’t know when ) 🤔, so need to get Warren back up to speed at some point
 
If we can keep Maswanhise quiet...we should have enough.

Seems like a pretty decent player.

2-1 Hibs.
 
First game against Motherwell this season, however they have looked quite useful team from what I have seen so far.
It will be much harder than the Dundee game where we were allowed to control the midfield and spray the ball all over the park, I don't think Motherwell will let us to do that in their own stadium.
We need to stay solid and organised and no daft defensive lapses and hope that VAR is kind to us.
Most importantly, we need to be much more clinical in the penalty area than we were against Dundee on Saturday.
Hopefully we can edge it, but a draw is likely.

1-1.

3-0 for Hibs a miserable 25/1 tonight. So a fiver on 4-0 tae @50/1 plus Half Time Full Time. A ken, a ken, mare money than sense @Greenmachine!

BIG G
 
Happy with team selection but right now I'm not sure we have a strongest 11. Most of the guys on the bench would slot into that team and not weaken it at all.
It's a great position to be in.
 
We won’t be getting near to challenging Hearts if we can’t win games like this.

Such a poor start. This group needs to be winning games in a row and lots of them
