00:00Well, sticking with Hibs
00:01I mean, if they are to perform
00:04a 100-year first
00:05or whatever it's going to be
00:07what are they going to need to do?
00:10There's been a lot said about the
00:11defensive side of it maybe
00:13you know, does Rocky Bissary come in?
00:16Does Grant Hanley stay?
00:17Where do you think the game's sort of won and lost
00:19for Hibs on Saturday?
00:22Yeah, I think it's in all the places
00:24it's usually won and lost in this one
00:25you've got to get the goals out
00:28put the goals in
00:29they've looked a little bit
00:30it's not been necessarily the defence
00:33that's looked wobbly with losing goals
00:34it's been maybe things
00:36one step further up the field
00:38or wherever, you know
00:39I always think when you lose a goal as a team
00:42it's a punch in the face for everybody in the team
00:45and they've all got to take the punch in the face
00:46it's not just the one guy or the two guys
00:48involved, could you stop the ball here?
00:50Could you stop the ball there?
00:52I would think
00:52Rocky was back away for personal reasons
00:57I don't know until I see
00:58David Gray tomorrow
01:00I'll get an update on that
01:01whether he's back or not
01:02I think it's hard to drop Grant Hanley
01:04given how good he was against Celtic
01:06and given how good he's been for Scotland
01:08he brings a lot to it
01:10but then
01:11how do you drop Rocky?
01:13If he's available
01:13because he's
01:14despite the team
01:15defensive record
01:17he's been brilliant
01:18as well
01:18he's the leader
01:19he lays his body on the line
01:21the whole time
01:22up front
01:23I think would be a slight
01:25concern
01:26in that
01:27Barry looks a little bit leggy
01:29but is still
01:31you know
01:32manfully
01:33carrying the burden there
01:35and
01:36the fact that he got both Scales and Carter Vickers
01:38booked
01:39on Saturday
01:40tells you everything about what he was doing
01:42he's just
01:42throwing his body in the way
01:43looking dangerous
01:45Martin Boyle
01:46just looks at slightly
01:48I'm going to
01:49slightly off it
01:50to like 1%
01:522% off it
01:53and again
01:55I think that's down to the fatigue
01:56flying away
01:58the last international break for him was
01:59Canberra
02:01and then Auckland
02:01I think
02:02so
02:03that's a lot of mileage there
02:04and
02:06record signing
02:07Thibaut Cleejay
02:08just not
02:10being trusted
02:10to start games at the moment
02:12looks sharp enough
02:14when he comes on
02:15but
02:15you know
02:16it's the record signing in the summer
02:18are we going to see him
02:20or
02:20has he got a Derby winner in him
02:22these are the games you buy these guys for
02:24you know
02:24you spend the money
02:25you invest
02:26you want them to deliver
02:27and I think we can also see why
02:29Hibs were
02:29were looking for Linden Dykes
02:31at the deadline
02:33because they're just a body short
02:35up front
02:36somebody to come on and change things
02:37or to give
02:38Barry a break
02:45kay
02:46are you
02:47can't
02:50who can't
02:50have you
02:51and you'll
02:51see you
02:53have it
02:54that loveious
