Fitness is a myth caused by a comment about summer training.Fitness, Fitness will need to be drastically improved over the next 2 weeks for hibs then everything else will slowly follow
Why are you slagging Borna? I’m a big fan of Borna but im happy to accept that Ridvan might offer something different. Which might be the difference in our team.Everytime people call for Ridvan they are effectively slagging off Borna, who is at the WC. Why not get behind Borna?
Which is the big reason for the players getting 2 weeks off.Fitness is a myth caused by a comment about summer training.
We played 27 games with a depleted squad since the start of the season. Increased workload on less personnel. There is not a fitness issue. There is a fatigue issue.
Borna is not consistent against the tims, bottle goes.If its Beale he may well go tried and trusted.
Certainly until Summer Break.
McGregor will retain his place
As will Borna - who has been probably our most consistent performer across the season so far.
No excuses with tiredness after a 2.5 week break and no european football till next season.Which is the big reason for the players getting 2 weeks off.
And that’s it? lol!Severely limited options due to injuries but do we see any likelihood of Morelos/Colak partnership being tried?
Ridvan in at left back (if fit)?
McCrorie given chance in goals?
Consistently gifting goals to the opposition?If its Beale he may well go tried and trusted.

Consistent - maybe not special, but far from in the top 6 or 7 poor performersI think he’s been consistently poor
He was first dropped after Napoli?Did you watch his half hearted performance at home to Napoli?
Disgraceful.
One aspect I am just slightly worried about is the possibility that we'll see a short-lived "new Manager bounce" to some of the usual suspects.I'm not holding out for any immediate improvement given it will most likely be the same lethargic players we are trying to get a tune out of.
Need some fresh faces and the injury list cleared.
Interesting point that got me thinking. One of the things Ridvan brings that is 'different' to Borna is his willingness/desire to cut inside rather than repeatedly go down the touchline. If Beale reverts to playing Kent as one of two 10s, hence moving him inside a few metres, it might actually be more suited to Borna starting rather than Ridvan.Why are you slagging Borna? I’m a big fan of Borna but im happy to accept that Ridvan might offer something different. Which might be the difference in our team.
I have players I prefer to see, but any player starts I want them to do well.
Morelos, Kent new deals. Barasic and Lundstram extended. McLaughlin in goals. Hagi back soonSeverely limited options due to injuries but do we see any likelihood of Morelos/Colak partnership being tried?
Ridvan in at left back (if fit)?
McCrorie given chance in goals?
Definitely and would show weakness from the off.The wrong kind of message IMHO.
Because he cannot defend.Everytime people call for Ridvan they are effectively slagging off Borna, who is at the WC. Why not get behind Borna?
Wouldn't surprise me if he drops colak for morelos
Why on earth would you reward Morelos with a new deal. He should be first out the door Jan 1.Morelos, Kent new deals. Barasic and Lundstram extended. McLaughlin in goals. Hagi back soon
Yes please!If it's Beale is there any chance he could get Jordan Milsom back as fitness coach?
Matter of opinion mateConsistent - maybe not special, but far from in the top 6 or 7 poor performers
This kind of comment re Borna bemuses me. Should have never played again after he spent the last game against Septic literally running away from their winger for the whole game. As he did throughout champs league.! I have never seen a defender as scared of making a tackle, ever. Add to that 80 aimless deep crosses and pass backs every game. Ach I’m done…If its Beale he may well go tried and trusted.
Certainly until Summer Break.

That was where he really exposed his lack of desire but 2 league appearances (7 in all comps) tell the story.He was first dropped after Napoli?
How many games has he played in this season?That was where he really exposed his lack of desire but 2 league appearances (7 in all comps) tell the story.
Did you read my post ? 7How many games has he played in this season?
Sorry about that. Can I ask, under Gerrard how would have described his form.Did you read my post ? 7
Not sure why that matters?Sorry about that. Can I ask, under Gerrard how would have described his form.
Did he down tools at Dundee? He obviously did enough to impress Gerrard; like himself, a midfielder. Players fall out of favour all the time, but it was, to you, simply a case of Kamara no longer wanting to perform for Van Bronckhorst?Not sure why that matters?
Is he allowed to play for when he feels like it ?
Did he not down tools at Dundee?
Has he kicked a ball since his transfer fell through ?
I want players who are committed t9 the club not in it for themselves.
Heavily reported he downed tools once our interest was noted.Did he down tools at Dundee? He obviously did enough to impress Gerrard; like himself, a midfielder. Players fall out of favour all the time, but it was, to you, simply a case of Kamara no longer wanting to perform for Van Bronckhorst?
I'd like the player I know Kamara can be; he played well against West Ham, and Spurs, then in the 2-1 game away to Livingston, and never really seemed to be first pick afterwards.Heavily reported he downed tools once our interest was noted.
If you are happy to fill your team with bad professionals who pick and chose when to perform then fill your boots , I prefer 100% commitment every week.
If you read my follow up post you’ll see there’s no need to get pure raging about something that someone you don’t even know wrote on a forum - ffs.The players were not running 10k every training day ffs.
And accept he’s been cheating the support when he has played?I'd like the player I know Kamara can be; he played well against West Ham, and Spurs, then in the 2-1 game away to Livingston, and never really seemed to be first pick afterwards.
Haha okay mate.If you read my follow up post you’ll see there’s no need to get pure raging about something that someone you don’t even know wrote on a forum - ffs.
If its Beale he may well go tried and trusted.

Is the correct answer.He’ll be facing the sack then come the summer as this group of shysters will see him 20+ points behind.
If it's Beale I reckon we will play a 4-3-3 like the 55 season with the inverted wingers almost becoming additional center forwards supporting the striker. Morelos will replace Colak in that system for his hold up play and Kent will suddenly become a player again.
By not being adaptable, perhaps, to his manager's game plan?And accept he’s been cheating the support when he has played?
It's hardly a ringing endorsement of competence is it?Exactly - I don’t understand this narrative that Borna is poor. He’s been our best player this season
We don't have a threat from corners after letting Katic and Balogun leave and Goldson and Helander injured. I'd like to hope that a new coach could do something but our options to me seem extremely limitedFirst priority should be coaching set pieces, especially corners. It looks like an accident when we score from a corner, and we're pretty clueless defending them. This feels like something that can be rectified pretty easily.
Colak scored goals in Gios system, no one else really did. Morelos holding the ball up doesn't only bring wingers into play if they are inverted, attacking midfielders can get beyond him into scoring positions as well.Replacing a goal scoring forward with one who doesn't score enough for his hold up play, to then allow our non-scoring wingers to score?..
It would be madness to drop our only real goal scoring threat, we dont score enough as it is.
