  1. I'm hoping Stryjek performs like Sarkic did on his baptism of fire against Celtic
  2. Derby too. I think Poplatnik looks like he could lead the line well...but I'm basing that on his cameo against Hibs when the team were poor. He looked willing to put himself about and has a great scoring record previously.
  3. QPR are now interested so that's at least 4 championship teams mentioned plus Rangers but I'd imagine that's over with Roofe and Itten signing. Hopefully it sparks a bidding war and we can get a right good price for him.
  4. I'd take that tbh...our defence has been uncharacteristically powderpuff in the first 3 games...an improvement in the second half against Motherwell but we'll need to be right on our game to even keep this close. A lot could depend on Dykes potentially moving... hopefully he hangs around until after the weekend at the very least.
  5. Didn't the second Motherwell goal come from Chris Long's play though?
  6. I'm sure it was 4-2-3-1...back to what we were so strong with last season
  7. Realistically the people who would pay most attention to that part are Rangers and Celtic supporters...all they were doing was playing to the crowd. The rangers fans I know would have loved hearing that...I barely noticed it until it was mentioned here....and for that matter...why didn't they mention that rangers could move 9 points clear of relegation?
  8. I mean...if you want to go down that route then fine but we all know the chances of anyone other than Glasgow's ugly sisters challenging for the league are less than slim...maybe I should have said Celtic are Rangers' perennial challengers but then I'd get Celtic fans saying there's no challenge anymore...I was merely pointing out the reason they mentioned Celtic and not Hibs
  9. Is the commentary of the Livi game out of sync??
  10. We get it...Hibs were top of the league after 2 games...well done
  11. I didn't say it was [emoji2369]...they were talking about Rangers who's highlights were about to be shown so why wouldn't they mention they had a chance of extending the gap over their perennial rivals?
  12. Yas!!! Well worked goal!! Still could go either way but we're looking MUCH better tonight
  13. Fitzwater beaten in the air too easily again then McCrorie rushing into no man's land...I don't have any confidence in either of them
  14. Fitzwater looks totally out of his depth... McMillan on for him and Efe moves into the middle
  15. We started well but Fitzwater made a major error with his clearance that led to that goal...poor marking in the middle added to how easy it was for Turnbull to score...can't see Fitzwater staying in the team much longer
  16. I'm thinking Fitzwater at RB...he showed decent ability down the right side when Devlin went off against Hibs...Forrest and Robbo on the wings with Pitts behind Dykes....please make it so
  17. Can now hope we try to shoehorn him in by playing more midfielders...that might lead to us reverting back to 4-2-3-1 with him alongside Marv
  18. Have to argue that the type of players are the issue...we had less attacking options last season and were the 3rd top scoring team in the league. We lost Lawless and replaced him with Forrest who seems to be a like for like replacement. The problem is the system. With the 5 across the back we then lack the support to Dykes...our success for the last 3/4 years has been built on winning second balls...when the entire team is so far away from Dykes then we won't be able to do that
  19. Efe playing LWB had nothing to do with Boyle...he played there in the "pre-season" games and last week...none of us can figure out why when we have a LWB in the squad
  20. If only that were true...Efe played LWB in the last game too...not a single Livi fan can understand why.
  21. The insistence of the management team on playing this formation reminds me of Kenny miller and his stubbornness
  22. If the team can't fulfill their fixture due to poor discipline then surely it's a forfeit??
  23. I mostly agree with the lineup you went for but I'd have Efe at DM alongside Marv with Brown hopefully fit to partner BBJ at the heart of the defence. Think Efe carries the ball well and would excel in that role...sibbs was really quiet against st mirren other than his speculative shot, plus after his injury I'd be surprised if he was fit to play.
