Hibs: You're the Boss

PAUL THOMSON says Hibs should see the east terracing out in style and the 25-year-old Meadowbank IT consultant thinks it's time to put the St Johnstone hoodoo to rest.

What would your team and formation be? I'd push Bamba in between defence and midfield, with Zemmama on the right and Gow on the left of the midfield and Stokes and Riordan up front. Graeme Smith should be back in the team.

What are St Johnstone's strengths and weaknesses? They're on form at the moment. At McDiarmid Park, they shut us down a lot quicker than other teams and that is a real strength. Michael Duberry looks a real asset and has been a brilliant signing. Weakness wise they didn't play last weekend and may be a little rusty

How will you counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses? When we were closed down at McDiarmid Park we didn't respond quickly enough and a few players need to get off their mark a bit quicker. If we start the game at a high tempo then Saints may just be caught off guard.

What do Hibs have to do to win the game? The fans will be right behind the team from the start, wanting to see them give the east terracing the send-off it deserves. If we can get an early goal I think that will settle us down and we should go on to get a much-needed victory.
