Will be going on Saturday, but I hope for more lethal finishing after a couple of ragged performances.

Harper, Glass and Shields all went off with injuries against Alloa, and Phinn will be suspended after his red against Airdrie, making us with a few changes possibly.

If those 3 aren't fit to play, then I would go with:

Gallacher
Woods
Wilson
Bamba
Mccann
Burke
Bell
Williamson
Wiles
Bayne
Kirk

Dundee aren't playing Partick?

Really looking forward to this game. Should be a tight contest and i don't really want to predict the score.

Dunfermline have a real goal threat with Andy Kirk, who i think we could struggle to defend against.

We will probably line up:

Roddy
Mc Kay McPake Innes Cave

McPartland Quinn Fox Hamill

Griffiths Cuenca

Just the same team as tonight againt StJohnstone and Callum Elliott could be included on the bench.

Martini
McKay McPake Innes Cave
McParland Fox Davidson Hamill
Quinn Griffiths

is my bet.

Think this will be a tight one. Kirk is looking really good at this level.

1-1, Sparky and Kirk to score.

I'd take a draw for this one, will be our toughest game yet, we're scrapping hard and getting wins though so you never know, could be win number 7 in a row with a bit of luck..

i can't make it on saturday so i'll settle for a performance and result similar to last night! just no more injuries please. The bed bugs in Dunfermline seem to have developed a taste for hamstrings

No it's not. Davidson started last night and I would want him to start on Saturday. I think Cuenca will start on the bench with Quinn up front with Sparky. That gives us a great attacking option on the bench with either Cuenca, Elliot or both able to come on if needs be. I am no fan of Gary Miller but he played a great defensive midfield role when he came on last night, much to my surprise. Another option on the bench. We don't normally have those!!

Livi fans are not normally in a position to forecast any result with great optimism but how can we do otherwise at the moment. Six wins on the trot in all competitions is a better record than any other team in the division. We are the form team so I will predict a win with a one goal winning margin.

Team is going to depend on reactions to last night's hard game. Cuenca pulled up with what looked like a groin strain, no idea on Talbot.

If Cuenca doesn't make it I'd play Quinn up front, if he does I'd swap him and Fox. Either goalie will do.

Happily take a draw from this one.

I actually think he will throw in elliot from the start. He is only on loan until January, and they tried for ages to secure it.

As for Miller playing "a great defensive midfield role" were you at the same game as the rest of us. He constantly gave the ball away and wated about 4 or 5 touches everytime he got it. The only good thing he done was set up the winner, which was anything but defensive.

I think we will line up with the follwing...............


............................Roddy...........................
.....

Mckay.............Mcpake.....Innes................Cave (Talbot if fit)


Quinn............Davidson....Fox.................Mcpartland


.....................Elliot..........Griffiths..............
..............

Actually looking forward to a pars-livi game for the first time in a long time. Both teams playing quite well at the moment and will hopefully make a change to the games over the last few seasons with both either struggling for survival in the premier or under performing in the first. Should be a tight game but I'll go with us to nick it by the odd goal and bring Livi's winning run to an end

Should be interesting to see Livi this year. They seem to have made a decent start to the season.

I wonder how many anti Yorkston chants will be sung by The Livi Fans during the game though

As long as there's no drum I could't give a f**k what they sing

Does that twat still go to the games?

Hope not,because they will probably stick the Livi fans in the North West next to us! I wonder how many Pars fans will go under cover in the away end this week?

I felt Miller added some very neccessary steel to the midfield at what was a crucial time for us. He is certainly more physical than Fox which added it's own problems as Miller might have added to his one yellow card. I understand your point that he gave the ball away although constantly might be a slight exaggeration. Miller is no Gerrard but he gives us a physical option from the bench and he did a good enough job against St Johnstone when he came on. As I said, used as a sub at the required time.

depends who you are referring to if its Deasel then no but we still have a drummer and always will have. Unfortunately, your local bobbies deem it a H&S issue and we cannot take it.

still, im sure there will be the usual chorus of Yorkstons a BAWBAG!!!

Oh, the banter

Can see this having a few goals in it, especially if Kirk and Bayne are on fire and their wee orange boots runs Shields and Wilson ragged all day.

Looking forward to it though, 2-1 Pars with Bayne and hopefully Burke getting on the scoresheet, two very impressive players this season.

i would expect a tight game, maybe 1-1 but can't wait to see how we do in this game

This and the game against Dundee next week will show whether we're with in any shout of challenging for the title this season. I still doubt that we are though.

Probably going to be the tale of two strikers what with Griffiths in excellent form and Kirk also having helped himself to a few. I reckon a 2-2 draw.

Can't wait 4 this game!!! Proper test to see if we are capable of challenging for the league...however I can see a good performance from us but 2-0 dunfy We are capable of scoring so mibi 2-1...just can't see us getting a result at EEP!! Hope its a good day out tho!!!

My friend, the boots are now green.

really looking forward to this but i fear we might be a bit burnt out after a really hard game midweek compared to pars relativley easy(im assuming it was) game vs alloa. reckon it will be a really good game and should have a decent atmosphere especially saying as i think we will have a decent(by our fairly small standards) crowd over. do any pars fans know which section we are getting put in?

We are going for a new record for us, 7 is the target.

Funny, we are looking at the number seven from a completely different perspective.

NB: Does everyone know it is kids for a quid this week?

I think it's for both sets of fans.

I think you guys will probably be sat in the North East stand, should hopfully create a wee bit of an atmosphere. The Airdrie fans were sat their on Saturday and i'd imagine you would bring a similar sized support.

Good choice , ideed his only choice



:

Livingston have started the season very well and like ourselves neither were probably expecting to be involved in the title chase, but at this early stage both sides could be serious contenders for the title. I'm expecting a good game however i think that this is a game we need to win to show we are serious contenders for the title. The Airdrie game was frustrating with Airdrie always sitting deep however i expect Livi to be more attacking which will maybe make them more liable to mistakes at the back.

The side i would play against Livingston this weekend...

Gallacher

McCann
Wilson
Shields (if fit)
Woods

Muirhead
Bell
Burke
Wiles

Bayne
Kirk

Starting eleven wise i wouldn't exactly be gutted if Harper misses it as he's not impressed me much in the last few games. I'm not too keen on Williamson either, he's too weak to play first team football and needs to toughen up imo, so i would go with Wiles who impressed me when i came on against Alloa on Tuesday night.

Prediction: Dunfermline 1-1 Livingston

Quite simply, we have to up our game from Tuesday. I'm sure we will but if we play like we did then, Livi will beat us.

Hopefully the Shields and Harper injuries aren't too serious but Phinn being out is a big miss for us. Also unsure how serious Glass' injury will be.

Gallacher

Woods
Wilson
Shields
McCann

Williamson
Burke
Glass (if not fit, Bell- Bell is still short of match fitness)
Muirhead

Bayne
Kirk

Can see Livingston coming and looking to attack; they will certainly feel they can win the game. It'll be close but it'll be a more entertaining Pars Livi game as compared to previous seasons.

Naturally, I'm going to predict a narrow home win, but it'll be very difficult. 2-1 Pars.

Spl your having a laugh.

It's you're, not your.

Your grammar is just as appalling as your general contribution.

Yes, they are pishing themselves at Falkirk at the bottom of the league and Yogi throwing his toys out of the pram.

Oooooh.

Sounds a bit naughty.

Squad looked a bit dead on their feet on Tuesday night. Would take a draw right now, hopefully picking up from where we left off. If we are a bit lacklustre, chances are the Pars will win.

Interesting that Landi was mentioning Griffiths needs a rest - will we see Elliot on Saturday? No idea, hopefully a decent game though.

My team would be


Gallacher

Woods
Wilson
Shields
McCann

Williamson
Burke
Bell
Muirhead

Bayne
Kirk

Prediction - Pars 3-1 Livi

I really think the pars can do it in this game tbh. Kirk is looking really sharp up top along with Bayne. Think Kirk will get a couple and Bell to get the other if fit that is. Will be a harder game than I think though, with Callum Elliot up top for them.

Man I hate Livi playing against Andy Kirk, always seems dangerous, no doubt he'l score! I'l be kackin it against him!!!

0-0, two points dropped each.

or 1 point gained as QoS will beat you.

We aint got that big a squad that we can afford to rest our top goalscorer, how long does it take to get over playing for 2 hours anyway ffs, lads 18 no 38, should be full of energy at his age, hope he's on the bench if he's not starting.

is it not about time you got a pic of Bayne in a pars kit?

griffiths to come on in the 2nd half so he's fresh to rip the pars defence to pieces!

I think we will win, as Livingston will surely be more attacking than Airdrie apparently were(not much) leaving some space in behind for Kirk, Burke and Bayne to get into. Really hope Bayne get's his first home league goal, absolutely love that man (plutonically)

think it will be tight as usual, bar the game at EEP last season when we pumped the pars.
if we play like we have been we should get at least a point, but if big bamba is back in i'll go for 4-0 livi and a bamba hat-trick.

should line up with

Roddy

MacKay
McPake
Innes
Talbot(if fit, otherwise Cave. Hamill is too important going forward to play LB)

Hamill
Fox
Davidson
McParland

Quinn
Elliot

Not saying sparky should be left out but after the quotes on the website hint at it.

We can attack and still be solid at the back
