    Having watched the highlights, McMillan is standing far too deep allowing Obika yards of space to get a run in behind Brown, that has happened to us far too often in away games, needing to either stand where Guthrie is marking his man, so we can block/tackle/hold off the striker, or organise our back line better, so we're playing them offside (which also leaves us in the hands of officials doing their job spotting offsides), we aint got the pace to keep being left in a race with quick strikers. 

    Brown got caught the wrong side of a St Mirren player again and left for dead, luckily for us we got away with it that time, noticed Keags jumping in a few times and being on the wrong side of a player and caught dead too, wasn't a good 2nd half for us. We're usually far more solid defensively at home.

    Think a lot of that had to do with Bartley going off. His physical presence in midfield, breaking up a lot means our defence don't have to get involved as much. Keaghs will chase and battle but not quite the same as Bartley who has strolled 90% of games for us. Perhaps Crawford would have been a more suitable option as someone who is willing to put his foot on the ball and carry it. I'm a big fan of Keaghs and I understand what I'm about to criticise actually got us the second goal but he has a tendancy to just turn and whack a ball forward regardless of there being team mates making runs or not.

     

    I'd also like to add....Menga still looks completely clueless positionally but what an out ball! Him and Dykes is a frightening prospect for any defence.

    All being said, I'm starting to look forward to the game now. 

    McCrorie

    McMillan Brown Guthrie TS

    Bartley ??

    Lawless Pittman Robinson

    Dykes

     

    I wonder how fit Devlin is now? Sibbald/Jacobs/Crawford I'm unsure of. I suspect Sibbald will get the nod. Lawson not far off a place, too. It's a shame the Squid is out for the season (on Livi thread) as I like him as a player.

    Wonder how far Dolly is off a start...sounds like he's looked quite a handful when he's come on in the last few games. As fantastic a player as Lawless is, he's been off his usual form for a few games now too so wouldn't be surprised to see Gary switch things up.

     

    McCrorie

    McMillan Brown Guthrie T-S (for me the back line picks itself at the moment)

    Bartley Jacobs

    Menga Pittman Souda

    Dykes

     

    Souda caused St Mirren plenty of problems in the last game before fading out and Menga's direct running alongside Dykes sounds like an exciting prospect. Wee Lawless to come off the bench is a fantastic option to have too.

    To counter that; if you want to perform a pub crawl in Livingston you need to be ####ing fit! Certainly lots of opportunity to sober up between pubs.

    As a general point the main roads around Livi look okay at the moment but the footpaths are still a mess - hopefully the council will get their finger out and get them cleared and gritted ahead of the game.

    WLYF community activities on the pitch were cancelled last night which has given me there fear for tonight. Need a good result tonight before going to Ibrox and Easter road followed by Celtic at the Spaghettihad

  4. Green Day's new album released this morning. Im very much a fan of the new garage sound they've gone for...it's not what you'd expect from a Green Day album but very good and VERY catchy. Looking forward to hearing it live in the summer.

  5. I need a modern remaster or a new THPS game that is more like the originals in my life...the games were so good...the underground series was decent and then it fell off a cliff. Got the latest one on PS4 and it's very meh....the skate games were better than the latest offerings from auld Tony

    Just heading through for the match, I'd take a draw right now but we really could do with the three points. Gwan livi, you don't really need them... 

    But how funny for you guys would it be if we qualified for Europe and weren't allowed to play because we don't have a Uefa Licence? This comedy gold can only be achieved with 3 points tonight....ta fanks

    Wonder if Foster might get the nod at left back then.

    I thought he looked decent going forward in the last game and still has a fair bit of pace about him. Would love to see Dolly get some time on the pitch tonight...can play either wing and up front....kinda hoping we try him AND Dykes together

    The last 2 goals he's set up for Scott Pittman have been from the left wing, but yes, he's being played as a lone striker that basically goes where he wants.

    Robinson or Souda are most likely to be on the right wing (from our attacking mid three), with McMillan/Lawson/Devlin getting down there from his RB position, which he's been pretty good at recently.

    Souda and Robbo have been playing on the left hand side it's Lawless that plays on the right cutting inside onto his favoured left foot. We do sometimes switch during the match but mostly Souda/Robbo on the left and Lawless on the right
