When I saw the line-up it reminded me very much of the complaints we were making of Jimmy Thelin; trying to play a two-man midfield and having three at the back for no reason, then not having enough up front to create anything. At least Leven tried something a bit different at times. Bizarre from Robinson to go back to something that failed for Thelin. I'm not against three at the back if someone there is able to step into midfield and make it a three. Neilson is (or was) that man, Milne (at least for now) is not. We're also better with a front two because we don't have forwards capable of playing as lone strikers, and our wingers make shite wingers. So yeah, let's start with Gyamfi & Jensen who offer little width from wing back, a two man midfield, and Lazetic up front. And change the goalkeeper for no reason (unless Mitov has a knock I'm unaware of). Never mind our strongest team, it's close to the weakest in terms of personnel and tactics Robinson could have picked! Never mind six games to save ourselves. I'm beginning to think it's more realistic we have six games to work out a formation and line-up to win the play-off.

1-0 Southampton with Ross Stewart scoring.

Had forgotten about Ross Stewart who is playing for Southampton tonight. Maybe a better shout than Dykes and Hirst.

Southampton v Arsenal been decent so far.

Back from the Middle East for the weekend; may have been better with a missile hitting me on the way over. Can’t win a header in either box. Several good corners but nobody attacking those balls either.

The only thing we have to cling to here is the fact its Hibs. If we’re lucky, they’ll Hibs it. If it goes as expected, McGrath will bag a hat trick in a complete stroll for them…
