I think IJs point about buying Melkerson for that fee is valid when Hibs were crying out for some experience in that position or at least a big, strong talent like the Hearts guy, Simms from Everton. If Hibs had 2 or 3 other talented strikers then a punt on Melkerson would be OK . OK Hibs have lost Nisbet and Doidge but neither have set the heather on fire this season for various reasons so in January a different type of striker should have been brought in. I think there is a player in Melkerson but needs to be nurtured alongside more experienced players and not have the whole of Hibs expectations on his young shoulders.

Agree Ritchie that Jasper and Melkerson should be on the field together along with Stevenson and even Mcgregor if fit??? The last two get what a derby is about and again add steel to a flimsy Hibs side. There were too many "lost boys" last Saturday. Still they've always got James Scott!

How are the Hearts injuries going.........any likely to start on Saturday? Mackay-Steven would be useful on a wide pitch like Hamdump.
