Tails I suppose but that was only pointing out what was blindingly obvious. Seven goals conceded to United, none in open play.

Not a Hibs expert but Campbell in for Hoillet (plus Bowie’s pace) maybe = Hibs press high like they did last time at Pittodrie (see pic)

Dons likely to respond with longer balls to try and spring Topi and Morris on the break. Could be a game of chicken. I could be totally wrong.
