A new manager, a fresh tactical reset, and a squad that suddenly looks far more interesting than it did a week ago. Matty and Colin Wbreak down what Hibs could actually look like now, and why the first test at Dundee United will tell us a lot more than the scoreline alone. They start with the women's derby defeat at Easter Road and why the result felt like part of a wider problem, before moving into the big question every Hibs fan is asking right now: who starts, who misses out, and what changes under the new regime? You’ll hear them work through: The goalkeeper debate between Sallinger and Smith A potentially solid back four, including Kerr, Hanley, Iredale, Mayor, Passlack and the new defensive options Midfield combinations that could finally unlock Mulligan, Newell, Devaney, Abdullai and Chaiwa Where McGrath fits best, and why the attacking three behind the striker may be the most exciting part of the squad What to make of on loan striker Nathan Lowe so far, and whether Matondo could force his way in quickly They also tackle the bigger picture around squad depth, international call-ups, bounce games, and how much patience fans should really have before judging the new setup. There’s plenty of debate over formation, roles, and the best use of Hibs' attacking talent, plus a candid look at the state of the women’s game at club level and what needs to change for momentum to return. And if you want something a bit more light-hearted, there’s also a blind ranking of Hibs managers since 2000, with Williamson, Yogi, Ross, Stubbs, Lennon, Fenlon and Butcher all getting the treatment - plus a few strong opinions on where they really belong. Essential listening if you want a proper Hibs fan perspective on the new manager era, the squad puzzle, and what Saturday might reveal about the direction of the club.
