💬 “I thought it was a real tactical battle. They like to have a lot of the ball, a lot of rotations and, defensively, we dealt with that really well.” David Gray on #Hibs’ goalless draw with Motherwell

Aside from that, O’Hora and Rocky dealt with Motherwell’s threats very well. Fourth seems like it's slipped away but we go again after the international break.

Šuto & Boyle didn't link at all, I’d like to bring Elding and/or Scarlett back in from the start vs Killie. Barlaser & Chaiwa were solid today, liked their individual performances.

🟡 0-0 🥬 | 9️⃣0️⃣ | 💭 If it weren't off the back of two poor draws against Dundee & Livi, I would have said this was a decent point against a good side. Mostly cancelled each other out but felt we lacked a cutting edge, the final ball was poor today. Couldn't beat the 1st man..

🟡 0-0 🥬 | 6️⃣6️⃣ | 🔁 Elding + Scarlett ➡️ Boyle + Šuto ⬅️ Had to happen, Šuto & Boyle really ineffective today. Too many loose touches, caught offside etc Although Boyle almost scored a peach of a volley with his last touch - so close 🤏

…Not sure about changes. I do think a freshening up of the forward line will come with Scarlett & Elding. Not sure about Obita’s fitness so likely he could make way as well.

…runs into the final 1/3 very well and managed to make contact / tackles / blocks. Some good bits of possession leading to N Cadden crosses which always look dangerous. I do think the switch for Chaiwa / Boyle / Passlack is key & we need to get Barlaser on the ball more..

🟡 0-0 🥬 | 4️⃣5️⃣ | 💭 Tight game, we're pressing well & limiting Motherwell in their options to play through us. When they've went long or got through we are recovering quickly & getting compact, at times in a 5-4-1. They move & rotate a lot & I think we've tracked the…

🥬📋 Feel for Elding a little bit as I think he's been solid in his last few games. With Obita & Boyle coming in, this could easily switch between a 3-4-1-2 & a 4-2-3-1. N Cadden, McGrath & Boyle in behind Šuto. Obita to LB, Passlack to RB & Barlaser + Chaiwa in the middle.

In recent months, David Gray has been switching #Hibs to a 4231 shape mid-game from their usual 352. 🤔With plenty of dual-position players, is returning to 4231 an option? Would it get the best out of the squad? 🔎I looked at the possibilities ⬇️ 🔗 hibsobserver.co.uk/news/25942242.…

Flexible players. Freshen things up. Four-two-three-one. 𝐐 Is the Hibs squad well-suited to 4231? 𝐐 Which players could play where? 𝐐 Will David Gray deviate from 352? 𝐐 What are the pros + cons? @p_mcpartlin on a change of shape for Hibs ⬇️ 🔗 hibsobserver.co.uk/news/25942242.…

Well this has certainly sparked some debate…💬 It wasn't easy on the eye, but the data showed we should have scored & won that game. Food for thought for Gray..? David Gray’s tactical tweaks and the 91% proof that Hibs should’ve beaten Livingston hibsobserver.co.uk/tactics/259415…

#Hibs were dominant against Livingston. 74% possession, 22 shots, 700+ passes, 2.45xG. 😫 It should have been a straightforward victory, but ended up being two points dropped. 🔎 @9125analysis looks back at a frustrating afternoon for Hibs ⬇️ 🔗 hibsobserver.co.uk/tactics/259415…

@WinstonIngram @HibsObserver_ Yeah I think he could have changed it at half time.

@HibsObserver_ @9125analysis Change was far too late. Ridiculous setting up with 3 centre backs and 2 sitters. Livi showed zero attacking intent right from the kick off

🔄 David Gray switched to 442, and latterly 4231, against Livingston in a bid to engineer a goal for #Hibs. ❌ But Jerome Prior’s goal remained unbreached. 🔍 @9125analysis looks back on Saturday’s stalemate ⬇️ 🔗 hibsobserver.co.uk/tactics/259415…

@GeorgeC1875 @HibsObserver_ I think Scarlett & Elding linked better than Šuto & Elding have - but Šuto more than earned an opportunity to start. One thing I never mentioned in the article was Youan… Could he have come on ahead of Campbell? McGrath stay central…Youan goes wide… 🤔

@HibsObserver_ @9125analysis Two strikers who probably never even made a pass to each other and certainly no combinations. Wingers please

91 times out of 100, #Hibs should have beaten Livingston, but not even TWO formation changes from David Gray were enough to produce a goal. @9125analysis looks at the tactical tweaks, Dan Barlaser's role, and why the left forward role is so vital ⬇️ 🔗 hibsobserver.co.uk/tactics/259415…

@RyanSmillie5 @HibsObserver_ Scarlett, Šuto and Boyle off the bench is a strong backup three as well - solid competition

@9125analysis @HibsObserver_ Think our best bet in the 3-1 is…. Boyle-McGrath-N.Cadden Elding

@RyanSmillie5 @HibsObserver_ ..I certainly feel we are better place to play in that shape after our January recruitment. My other question is…will we ever start a game in a 4-2-3-1 between now and the end of the season...

@9125analysis @HibsObserver_ Probably looking at 2-3 wide midfielders, an out and out number 9. 2 DM’s proper number 6, and a ball playing type. Tall right back, maybe a centre back.

@RyanSmillie5 @HibsObserver_ Centre halves and Passlack could be square pegs round holes - think our attacking options are much more rounded now so I think the 3-1 could have some interesting combinations. Barlaser would be a main fixture - purely for experience / style - paired with Chaiwa or Andrews..
