Is gray getting a 3 year extension the kiss of death for hibs good form?

Hope so. 
 

Agree with Panda on Devlin and Jensen move. Defensively makes sense to have Devlin up against Boyle as far better defender and some of Jensen’s delivery has been best of our wide players. I would stick with Dorrington to avoid making too many changes at the back. I am not sure Polvara starts as Thelin seems to like Palaversa and Clarkson pairing and Hibs having 11 on the field at the start means not the space for Polvara in midfield. If McGrath wasn’t going to Hibs I would have him in at 10 and Nisbet further forward. As it’s Hibs think we are stuck with Nisbet at 10 and Gueye as number 9.

I disagree with Jensen further forward. He hasn't taken a player on for us once. That's why he's a fullback, to give him that space to play in. Further forward, he'd just be reaching their fullback, turning and going back the way. I wouldn't rule it out against a good team away, when we needed to defend, but not the way I'd set up against Hibs at home. 

Agree with Polvara and Milne though, although it would be harsh on Dorrington. I suspect we'll see Dorrington today and, depending on results, perhaps Milne in the next couple.

There’s no way Jensen’s a winger, he’s too conservative a player for that.

Hibs will be a lot more expansive than Hearts were so having our pacy wingers from the start gives them a lot more to think about than having two full backs on our right would. I don’t think Jimmy will drop Jensen anyway but it wouldn’t bother me hugely if Devlin came back in.

Controversially, I’d start McGrath as the Nisbett/Gueye 9/10 combo thing doesn’t work.

Should be said, Jensen has played previously as a wide midfielder. Maybe but so much a winger, but he hasn't always been played as a full-back. Milanovic and Keskinen will be occupying those spots next season anyway.

As it goes, appears we're unchanged from the Hampden triumph. Mackenzie back on bench which I don't think he has been for a few weeks.

I think devlin and Jensen may be a good short term fix, Jensen tends to cut inside and devlin wide. At the same time, we have Morris and okkels so don’t see it happening unless we get injuries.

Is milanovic on his way yet or close to a done deal, or is it media speculation/sensationalism??
