Livingston - all the threads merged

Maybe what Hamilton needs to succeed is Nouble playing alongside him. Nouble isn't as clinical a goal scorer as JET was, but looks an ideal pairing for someone who is a goal scorer, big and physical, and like JET, good with the ball at his feet, to take on defenders and create space for a striker. Guess we'll have to wait till January before we get to see how that would work.
But Nouble has only shown his class at a lower level....
Like Hamilton....

Etcs.

It wouldn't surprise me that Nouble stays the whole season at Arbroath and instead we recall Harrison Clark to make it 12 central midfielders at the club.

Aye very good.

By all accounts Nouble has captured the Arbroath fans hearts as a better player than Hamilton, big, strong on the ball, quick, and good with the ball at his feet. I'm giving Hammy the benefit of the doubt that if he had a player doing the work and setting him up, he'd score goals, and Nouble looks like being that player for assists, and the odd goal.

 

If Martindale leaves Nouble at Arbroath all season i think there will be a complete melt down on the Livi FB page.🤣 Seriously though, i can't wait for Jan, and getting him back, he's something we don't have just now, someone with a big physical presence, and a bit of pace too. Also has the skill to take players on and open up space for other players.

I can't believe that anyone could think a striker who played well for Arbroath under Dick Campbell could be classed as lazy. If anything, Hamilton has looked totally scunnered at his lack of chances with us. I watched him closely doing his warm up during the second half vs Motherwell and the boy was desperate to get on, but the more often he was getting told "a few more shuttles, five more minutes",  his shoulders slumped more and more.

Lazy or not, he's about as mobile as JET, and just looks like he's half heartedly trying to press defenders bringing the ball out from the back. Doesn't seem to have the fitness levels needed to play like that, and as has been said by LogieLivi (i think), must be preserving his energy for chasing balls he can def win. The way we play we really need our striker to run about a lot off the ball, which just doesn't suit Hamilton's way of playing. Not his fault, but it still affects the team negatively and unless we change how we play he's a bit of a passenger.

Good summary of the squad availability here. Kabia is the only one not mentioned.

Parkes injured in training, we're having some luck with injuries this season. Going to be in big trouble if Fitzwater or Obileye get injured, absolutely no back up CB jus now. Reckon Parkes being just about ready to come back from injury was why Martindale didn't bother signing a CB when he acknowledged we were needing one, and now he's injured again. Really is an area we've been a man short in, yet we keep signing midfielders and LB's.

Strange really, when we had so many last season and we started playing CB's in midfield and as FB's/WB's. Perhaps we'll get the balance right next season, whatever league we'll be playing in.

Wondering if Martindale also has Longridge eyed as a back-up centre back. He played left in a 3 a few times towards the end of last season. 

Would be preferable to Kelly based on what I saw.

Great result today! I thought for a long time that you're not a poor side and have had some bad luck, e.g. the late goal you conceded against Aberdeen.

I had you to win 1-0 today and cashed out around ~75 mins, as usually Celtic score late, later equalisers or winners in that situation.

Filling your ground like that must swell the coffers. I know that's a contentious issue, but I say take their money, especially as it never seems to hurt your results against them. You're quite lucky because I bet playing Hibs and Hearts will generate you a few quid, too.

Might be over in a couple of weeks.

No brainer really, seats would be sitting empty if we didn't give the erse cheeks 3/4 of our stadium. Yeah Hearts and Hibs bring good numbers too.

What a result,
Shows you don't need Nouble so you can have him back next year,
Cheers lads

Nouble is the best forward I have seen at Palmerston this season has it all.

Would be amazed if Livi don't recall him in Jan Arbroath very lucky to have him for now .

Is Jack Hamilton getting much game time at Livi maybe another loan move hopefully soon

Lot of stuff thrown at Livi players from the away support yesterday. Noticed it at corners and especially the goal....big fan of Williamson giving it big licks in front of them and Shinnie shushing them.

Aye when Shinnie scored the camera went past the Celtic crowd, and 2 wee boys giving it the middle finger, then over the the Livi crowd and young boys with big smiles on their faces jumping up and down celebrating.🤣

Think their would be a complete heads gone from the Livi fans if Nouble is left out on loan all season.😂 Loving the footage of him going on runs with his crazy legs dribbling, ball just seems to stick to him going through 3 or 4 opposition players, we haven't got anyone in our team just now that can do that, take on players and go past them. It creates so much space for other player, and opens up defences.

Looks like a giant David Fernandez, can't wait to see him playing for us.

Will be harsh on Arbroath but he's our player.His time up at Gayfield is doing no harm whatsoever.Think a lot will depend on where we are in January. Certainly looks really promising.Weve had that problem with loan players leaving and its frustrating, but thems the rules,unfortunately.
