LIVIFOREVER Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 With us securing 2nd place yesterday we should be rotating the team for this game and giving guys like McMillan, Frizzell, Buchanan, Mullin, Robinson, Thompson, and prob even Jacobs a run out here, def shouldn't be playing Pittman and Byrne anyway, both of them have had a hell of an amount of games and put in some shift every week too, they don't need to be playing a midweek game risking injury and could do with a rest to freshen them up for the play offs. The result isn't really important but a draw would be good, just to keep the confidence going through the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I don't think we will be looking at this as a complete throw away game. The guys coming in (Robinson, Thompson, Frizzell) will want to prove themselves for the big games coming up. The only issue is we don't really have much striker cover now Boyd has returned to Hamilton. One of Hardie and Miller will probably have to start.

snorkie Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Quite happy to lose this game if it gives Inverness a chance to overtake our bogey team this season ...rest some of out weary players and let them have their moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I have a bad feeling about this. 2-0 Livingston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hardie - Robinson Longridge - Frizzell - Thompson - Byrne - McMillan Lithgow - Halkett - Buchanan Alexander If we are resting players I'd imagine something like that, with Miller coming on for Hardie in the 2nd half. Kind of highlights the fact we only actually have 2 natural strikers and only 4 natural CBs, we've been pretty lucky this season in terms of injuries and suspensions. Like EL said though we've got guys like Robinson, Frizzell, Thompson, McMillan, and Buchanan who are all still good players and will want to prove themselves to get a game in the play offs so think we'll still get a good performance.

Afro Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Would expect, and hope, that Hopkin uses this game to give some of the "fringe" players a bit of game time, and more importantly, some of our key starters a rest. Pittman was average yesterday despite his goal, and really looks leggy. Could also do with one of Hardie or Miller getting a good rest given they're our only out and out strikers available. I'd still expect us to be very competitive despite us not having anything to play for in terms of league position, but a defeat really wouldn't surprise me given what I've seen of ICT this season and the fact it's win or bust for them now. Coming through the next two games unbeaten and having rotated the squad a bit would be a very satisfactory end to the normal league season and good preparation for the play-offs.

AMC13 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Pittman has been poor for quite some time now I've noticed, whether that's because of tiredness or not I don't know. Buchanan, Robinson and Frizzel will all come into the team with Probably Hardie starting up front with Robinson although I'd expect Miller to come on for Hardie. Gary Maley needs some game time too but I wouldn't change Alexander so I'd probably just stick him in midfield or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, wouldn't be an easy game either way, but the players who could come in are still good players so we wouldn't be going into this game not giving a shit. The likes of Frizzell and Mullin would be bursting to do well, and others like Buchanan and McMillan have played really well when called upon, Keaghan is easily a first choice player but he's been used sparingly this season, so it wouldn't do any harm to give him another start if it meant Byrne and/or Pittman could be rested.

It's a night game so all the centre carparks are free, St Margarets school carpark is still prob the best place though, then walk towards the ground and cross over the bridge taking you out next to the astro pitches behind our stadium. Or you could chance Lidl's right next to the ground and hope you don't get a ticket slapped on your windscreen, prob wouldn't but they say it's for Lidl shoppers only so still a risk.

andylivi1 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I’ve said all season I’ve been so impressed by Inverness on the previous 3 occasions we’ve came up against them, for me they’ve moved the ball about better than anyone we’ve came up against in the league. It looks like the late charge for the playoffs may be all but over as I expect Dunfermline to get what they need against Dumbarton but what an effort after such a poor start, which in the end has cost them dearly. If we can remain unbeaten against Inverness this season that’ll be a hell of an effort. Id change it up slightly for both these games coming up, Alexander, McMillan, Buchanan, Gallagher, Lithgow, Longridge, Robinson, Byrne, Frizzell, De Vita, Miller. And id think about resting De Vita, Gallagher, Longridge, Byrne, Miller at Tannadice on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'd like us to rest players so they are tip top for the play offs but lets be honest here, ICT must be running on empty going into this game, that's 4 midweek games on the trot and I think this is their 9th game in 4 weeks, even with a few fringe players playing we should be looking to take something from this game. They've still something to play for too so it should be a good competitive game. And this is a chance for some of the fringe players to stake a claim for a start in the play offs.

Don't worry; Falkirk's still there to restore your faith in state of the world - sooner or later someone's bound to mention Ferranti or Meadowbank. Oh and don't forget the world beating humour of "Lavvy" Now I've said Beetle-juice three times I'll get back in my box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
