So you keep saying, but obviously only you know about it.

I dont doubt it but it’s about the right sort and right profiles. Not frees or loans anymore for me. We need to be signing experienced league one players from top end clubs if we are letting Thomason go - cos you can’t replace what he offered with a youngster or a free from Europe. We need a big physical dynamo midfield player better than Thomason - and one who has played a lot at this level or higher.

No pre-match commentary on the stream. Surely, commentators pre-match should start becoming standard to increase hype.

Jack Iredale starts for Hibs.


A. Trialist on the bench for us. Figure that's likely to be the GK.

I believe that's the type we're targeting.

Dunno if it’s just me, but I can barely get the forum to load.

Yeah, it's been struggling.


Commentator is getting confused between the names of the players, calling Abimbola, Cozier-Duberry... the Ali G line, 'is it cos I is black', springs the mind, but no, he's also called Cozier-Dubbery, Simons. So looks very much like a team sheet mix up.

Gale hit the post, was awkward more than anything. Not really anything to write home about.

Taylor looking good. Few others having their moments, games following the similar pattern as the previous ones.

It's been slow for me for several months, but today seems particularly laggy.

There was possibly a backup running, should be okay now. Unlike my couch that won't fit through the door. I'll try for 2nd half.

Watching the game, I couldn't remember who Richard Taylor reminded me of and it's just dawned on me. I'm getting strong Bernard Mendy vibes from the guy.

I think its his physique and pace that is giving me that impression. Lets hope his end ball is better.

HT 0-0.

We've had the better of it. Gale hit the post from a half chance.

Some good set pieces, but very little from open play from both sides.

Yup. Off for Conway. He's walking round the pitch though?

That's a lovely goal for Amario Cozier-Duberry.


I suspect that won't be the first time he does that this season.

GOAL!!! What a strike that is! Cozier Duberry has looked great again today and I liked the look of Gale first half too, so nice to have wingers running at full backs and cutting in to get shots off after years of watching wing backs turn back and pass to our back 3 to recycle possession. Get someone up there with more about them than Abimbola and we could really be onto a winner.

Also on a sidenote, really hope Taylor is okay but looked like a hamstring injury... again! Hopefully not too serious though and more chance for Conway to impress.

Other sidenote, reading the Hibs forum, they started with their best XI which given how in control weve looked today is a very positive sign for us
