Hibs at home

Is Sibbald ready to play a role in this game? Maybe not the full game but would love to see him snapping away and threading a few balls around. I just feel when he plays we?re quicker tempo and play slightly higher up the pitch. Also thought we were screaming out for Middleton on Saturday as we lack invention when he?s not present.

Agree on both points especially Middleton

I haven?t rated him previous seasons but he has stepped up this season. He is offering a lot and we are much better with him in the team

Massive game and difficult to predict the outcome,the kinda match i would never put a bet on.Hibs strength is going forward but they remain suspect at the back.The darling of Leith is Rocky Bushiri who is capable of scoring at one end and conceding for fun at the other.

I reckon the winners of this one depends on the mentality of Jim Goodwin,if he takes the shackles off his team and goes for it from the off there is every chance its a home win.If he goes for the more measured tactic of sitting in and inviting Hibs onto us we lose.Although Hibs had a wonderful result v Celtic and confidence will be sky high its worth noting that their players were going down like flies in the 2nd half of that game and all looked exhausted at the end.

Something else to take into consideration is their game next weekend is the Edinburgh derby at home to Hearts.I know we have The Sheep away but asking players for maximum physical effort against Celtic,United and Hearts in the same week is very difficult and they maybe forced to make changes against us because they have to be at full strength in the derby.

You never know but I'd be pretty sure we'll be cautious from the start...
