If we play like we did against Aberdeen at home then a win. If we revert to the long ball tactics we usually deploy at home then a narrow defeat.

Just kid on we're away from home and take them on with 2 up front again please. The last 3 games have been fantastic!

Our performance at Easter Road earlier in the season was as good a performance as I've seen from Accies - total domination.

Based on Accies losing at home to Sevco and winning away,
Quite often a low comes straight after a massive high.
Hibs won't be as sloppy two games in a row either
Head ruling heart says Accies 1,Hibs 2.
Temps and a Murray double for Hibs.
Crowd 3,874.
Hope I'm wrong,only an opinion.

You've lost your mojo regarding the crowd predictions; 2,945 with 1,482 in home stand. I couldn't make it sadly but happy with a point. That's our last five DWDWD so maybe another hoodoo broken next week at Tynecastle. Haven't won there since about 1977 I believe.

Excellent point given that 1st half pounding we took. Hibs were dominant, made the pitch huge and didn’t allow us to get at them, Bartley and mcgeouch ran the show and the pace of the guy barker for the breakaway for Murray’s goal was incredible.

No efforts on goal or even close to that from us all first half.

And then Martin changed it, stuck imrie on bartley and moved Lyon out left and it worked perfectly as Bartley never got a kick but dougie started getting wee touches in and around their back 4. It also forced Whittaker back who virtually played as a right winger in the first half.

We scored from our only effort all game which is great but we need to be creating much more.

But hats off to Martin for changing it at half time and dealing with the threat. :D

The measure of a team is how they are able to still get results whilst playing poorly.
Pretty honking game of football, 5 at the back clearly was not working, took Canning 45 minutes to adapt though, which if like our previous luck could have been too little too late. The whole in the centre of our midfield was wide open, which Hibs took great pleasure in running riot within.
No one really played well, Sarris and Tomas are not the pairing, I think Gogic will have to slot back in there, as he can at least match most forwards for pace.
Some of our passing from the back from Mcmann *surprise surprise* and Tomas was SO SO SO poor.
Rojano is a PLAYER. It's really refreshing to see such passion and controlled aggression.
Dougie's diving is cringeworthy, twice I counted he threw himself to the floor looking for a foul *one a penalty* and it was so blatantly contrived a part of me died inside. With the focus on simulation at an all time high, I like that most of the time, our guys aren't going down for no reason.
Think Lyon maybe wasn't the man to be in that position yesterday. I was unconvinced with him last season but a goal against Rangers is worthy of some patience.

MOTM was Woods for me, constant professional, especially the low shot that came through A LOT of traffic and he seen very late.

'Whole of' or 'hole in'? ;)

Not the first game where this has been the case. Rangers at home being the example where we got punished most.

The thing is, who plays there? Two of our most lauded players, MacKinnon and Docherty. Maybe, despite some eye-catching play, they're not doing the main job they're sent out to do? Just asking the question...

Auto correct you tart :D
When we are playing a 5, we should be stretching teams and playing channel play, instead rattled lofted balls up and down the pitch. with 4 in the middle we are a MUCH better team.
