The 4 O'Clock Hibs Show 9th October

Reedijk first game, a fresh Hibs shape, and a preview that is pure educated guesswork in the best possible way. Matty and Colin W break down what Hibs might look like on Saturday, where the new manager could surprise everyone, and why this match is less about instant answers and more about the first clues.With Dundee United waiting and the buzz already building, the pair compare possible lineups, debate 4-2-3-1 versus a back three, and weigh up who is fit, who is likely to start, and who may be better used off the bench. They also get into what a first-game opposition plan looks like, why overhyping a new era can backfire, and what really matters more here - the result or the performance.You’ll discover:Why this is “finger in the air” team selection, not certaintyThe logic behind starting Sallinger, Passlack, Kerr, Ivezic and IredaleWhether Mulligan and Chaiwa can finally be the midfield base Hibs needWhere Matondo, Elding, Cadden, Boyle, Lowe and Klidje might fit into the attackWhy Reedijk’s first big clue may be who he trusts quickest in trainingThe conversation also touches on the bigger picture behind Hibs recruitment, the role of the coaching staff, and why fans may need patience before expecting a fully finished side. Along the way, Matty and Colin react to live listener comments, challenge the idea that this is a “must-win,” and explain why a steady start may tell us more than a dramatic one.If you want a proper feel for the mood before kickoff, this is essential listening - especially if you like your football chat honest, lively, and just a little bit improvised. The episode closes with a score prediction and plenty left to be decided on the pitch.
