Top 2 v Bottom 8

[Sloop John B]

In fairness Gary Oliver would get straight into a side managed by Jim Duffy purely on nepotism so the fact he's has had an above average 3 months out of nowhere is irrelevant.

This is a c**t of a thread

Is VT really describing Dobbie as a "puffing mess"?

It's a funny line - you've actually got to laugh.

This thread is turning out exactly as I'd hoped

[Shandon Par]

Jasey "Tae Kwon" Talbot, "Your Name's Nat Down" Wedderburn and "Smokin" Joe Cardle would batter Hibs' best 11. Easy.

Picking divisional teams based on seeing players in a few games on a snapshot basis is open to challenge. Based on what I have seen my Bottom 8 select would be :-

Cuthbert

Doyle M'Voto O Ware Russell

Forbes Lindsay Sibbald Stirling

Dobbie Oliver

Alan Martin looks the best of the opposition keepers, probably including the top two.

Not especially happy about picking an entirely Morton back line but it's probably the best defence outside Hibs. Gunning of course is no longer there so could be considered ineligible. In which case I'd go for maybe Balatoni.

Stirling and Hippolyte have both only really stood out in one game so unsure on the left. Forbes has to be in there, he's been brilliant against us (again). I didn't include Dom Thomas on the basis he's only had three games at this level but if he carries on as he's started he'd have to go in there and Forbes would move more centrally. I've included Joe Thomson though on the basis that he also stood out for Dumbarton before he joined us. I'd have had Stuart Carswell as a candidate too if his performance on Saturday is any indication to future form.

Dobbie and Clark pretty much picks itself to be honest.

 

If you included the top two the Tony Andreu would be in there somewhere. Cummings would replace Clark. Gray absolutely would replace Doyle. Possibly Stevenson for Russell? Maybe at least one of their centre backs, probably McGregor for Gunning. Some combination of McGinn, Bartley, McGeouch and Fyvie in the middle of the park probably.
