Rabbi Matondo’s arrival, a brand-new coaching setup, and a fresh manager trying to stamp an identity on Hibs - this episode is all about what changes first, and whether Saturday can deliver the first real sign of a new era. Matty is joined by Jack, Steven B, Ian Mackay, and HibeefanIain for a proper deep-dive into the club’s latest moves, from Matondo’s pace and threat out wide to the appointment of Brian McLaughlin, Scott Thompson, and Boozy in the backroom team. Is this smart recruitment, or another example of Hibs doing things the hard way? The panel doesn’t hold back. You’ll hear strong views on: whether Matondo is the winger Hibs have been crying out for why the new coaching appointments have raised eyebrows how much Scottish football experience matters under Marink Reedijk why Boozy’s individual development role could be a huge deal for player growth who should start on Saturday, and what a good result really looks like We also get into the bigger questions around identity, intensity, and whether Hibs can finally move away from the slow, passive style that’s frustrated supporters for months. The discussion turns to players who might benefit most from a fresh start, including Josh Mulligan, Chaiwa, Thibaut Klidje, and the left-side battle between Nicky Cadden, Adam Mayor, and Matondo. And because no Hibs phone-in is complete without a bit of nostalgia, the panel goes full wing-obsessed - with classic names, favourite wide men, and the eternal debate over whether wingers still matter. If you want insight, opinion, and a genuine sense of optimism about what comes next, this is essential listening before the Dundee United clash.
