Expected him to be going out on loan after us signing Lars and Stokes, but a step back for him to a L1 team when he was playing on loan in the Championship last season, wonder if he'll ever make the grade playing with our first team in the Premiership. 

Go out on a limb here and say that he won't.

Yeah doesn't look like he will, had high hopes of him being a good striker when he first went out on loan, ripping it up in the juniors and L2 the same season, and had a style similar to Ryan Hardie, but he hasn't carried that form into the higher divisions, so isn't looking good for him being able to step up to the top flight, or even 2nd tier. Suppose he's still young enough to have a development spurt but with him being at QotS he couldn't have had a better striker to play alongside and learn from than Dobbie.

Souda absent from the last three match squads now. Does anyone have knowledge on that? Forrest and Robinson are Thomas Muller-style wide attackers.  Not really dribblers but instead keep their touches fewer and more simple. Their strength is their incisive runs into threatening areas. They arrive in the box to finish a move or assist a chance. Souda is a wide attacker much more like Lawless. He drops a bit deeper and infield, is happy to get on the ball and playmake, aiding earlier in the attacking build up. So given this alternative option Souda can offer, I hope it's that he's injured rather than has left the club. Also regarding the wide attack, I'm surprised Gary Holt doesn't use Sibbald on the left when he wants a central trio of Bartley, Jason Holt and Pittman. Sibbald is best playing central but has also done well on the left in the last two seasons. 

Missing Souda's deliveries from set pieces too, the amount of corners we had against Accies and they all came to nothing, not heard anything about him being injured so doesn't look good for his future at Livi.

 

Would expect Robbo to start against Celtic though, seems to love scoring goals against them, would even be worth sticking a few quid on him to bag a goal.

This is how it is for Livi. Us and Hamilton are in a unique position in this league where if any of our players have a good season, they're gone that summer. We rarely can afford to offer the more standard 3 or 4 year contracts to players, meaning they often become available as an end of contract, free signing for other clubs. Then when it comes to finding replacements, financial restrictions compared to the other 8 non-Old Firm clubs makes it especially challenging. That's why you see us and Hamilton signing players from such obscure backgrounds sometimes.

Pretty sure the fair majority of our new signings are all 3 year deals or 2 with the option of a 3rd so this argument doesn't hold up at all

From who? You? Seems like a load of shite emoji3.png 

I believe there is truth in this.

I saw a rumour of him being out in a pub during the international break but thought nothing of it. Wonder if it's related to that?

Stokes is not too keen on the plastic pitch according to the daily record story 

It's not like the pitch is a new development in Livi tbf. It's been there a wee while like.

Of all the excuses he could have picked, this is clearly the most bullshit one.

Which would mean that he either:

a) Didn't see a problem with it while training with the team before signing, and he's only recently had the realisation he doesn't like it, or
b) Didn't train with the team at all before signing, and had no idea Livi played on a plastic pitch.

 

What's more believable is there's been a fallout somewhere and they'll use the pitch story to make it seem like everything's alright.

That's what I've just said to Livingston supporting pal of mine that this is just cover for something else
