I think we might play Nilsen and Palaversa, with Shinnie in front. Shinnie will spend the entire half getting right into Barron, not letting him move, and he'll take the bait and get sent off. We'll then take on all our flair players, like Morris and Ambrose, and put six past them.
Hope you're right mate.
Staying where I do, I'm surrounded by them, so it'll be hell on earth if they prevail. It actually is, anytime they do, but just sense it would be even worse this time.
Being favourites going into any game makes me nervous. Going in as favourites against the Huns ... I seriously don't remember this happening before. Certainly not in the last 35 years. This scares me, and I hipe the squad is taking heed of Jimmy's call for humbleness
The Huns seem to be grinding out results, but I dunno if that's just the nature of having significantly more skilled and higher value players coming up against much much weaker opposition. I don't think Jimmy will be able to foil them as easily as he foiled Goodwin. But he has a real knack of recognising when he has the wrong player on field, and isn't afraid to change tactics and personnel as soon as he sees it.
For this reason, I think tactically we will overcome The Huns. It won't be easy. But I do think we will take the 3 points
2-1 Rubi and Clarkson. I also fancy Barron to be red carded
We don’t need to get into that, glad that didn’t happen. As Jimmy says “we must stay humble”, don’t give our opposition ammunition. Goodwin is an irrelevance.
Given the regularity with which Hibs Hibs'it and Hearts Hearts'it, even when playing each other, do we need some kind of collective term for Edinburgh teams - Reekin'it maybe?
