Cptn Hooch Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It appears James Scott is going to Hull for £1.5 million....he's not as important to Motherwell as Dykes is to us so we should easily be looking for a couple of million which would rule out the rangers....although it seems they have got kamberi so I think we're safe for this window 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm surprised Menga is back given his issues off field. Kinda gutted since he's shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Mon the Dolly, ya fucking dancer. Don't want to brag but I said this would happen. Brilliant news, we'll really run riot with him and Dykes up front, and wee Pitts back in amongst the goals too, Dolly is the perfect player to rough up defences leaving Dykes free to get in on goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh strange how some people forget when hes on his game he is undoubtably a handfull that defenders dont like.If he can recapture his good form will be brilliant for us. Welcome home Dolly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Menga is unquestionably a good striking option for us in the second half of the season. He's another battering ram to use when Dykes is tired or off form in a game. Loads of people said he was a winger but I completely disagree. Stick him up top, let him occupy the defenders and create space for the players around him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With two upfront, who would you have in midfield, if fit? Bartley and Lawless undroppable and Pittman is stalwart in the current system. With two up top there would be less onus on Pittman to get beyond so maybe someone who just sits in? Robinson would go left for me. Menga is an enigma and I hope it’s just not to replace Dykes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menga is an enigma and I hope it’s just not to replace Dykes I'd have him in the mid 3 just behind Dykes for either Souda or Robbo, that still gives him freedom to join Dykes up front when making attacking runs. Can't see us changing to a 4-4-2, and not really wanting us to. Also gives us an attacking option for an outball if Dykes gets injured/suspended, or just needs rested, Dolly isn't a goal scorer of Dykes quality but he did a decent job last season when Hardie was out injured, Robbo just doesn't give us that physical presence to be a back up for Dykes but Dolly does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm fucking delighted that Dolly is back: 1) We've spent all season lamenting the fact that we don't have a backup striker. 2) The tight bond between players and the upbeat dressing room has been a massive part of our success over the last 3 years. He's clearly a big personality in the dressing room, and knows exactly how to keep that atmosphere going 3) Last season we played with wingbacks rather than wingers. Lawless has excelled in the new role, and I expect Menga will too. His shooting boots are clearly shit, but his direct running, power and unpredictability fit a lot better to the winger role 4) He's fucking box office. None of our other players have attempted to headbutt someone for no reason against the OF this year. The Mengabus is coming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Dolly will fit in well with the system we're playing now rather than the 3-5-2. Just thinking of him ragdolling defenders to set up Pittman/Lawless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives us a player who could come in and give Dykes a break for this spell of midweek games, could start Dolly against ICT next week to rest up Dykes for the midweek St Mirren game, with us having 5 games in the next fortnight. And bring him on for Dykes against County on Wed night if we're a couple of goals up 2nd half. If for nothing else than to give opposition players a hard time and us an out ball to get it up the pitch and waste time when we're seeing out a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain I read that Dolly's played 7 minutes of football this season. He will be well off the pace, and I'd be surprised if he got a few minutes up at Caley at the very most over the next few games. Agree that he is a good option to have though, at the very least he's clearly a good figure in the dressing room and the inevitable banter arising from his stepovers-to-nowhere routine will be excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see who he deserves to start in ahead of. If Dykes is off the park there’s maybe a case to have him on. Then I remember the turmoil he caused Hamilton in the 3-3 last year - what an enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted the 7 minutes fact on the Livi facebook group, but it's a load of shite. He's had 314 minutes (which, admittedly isn't that much better). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_Atlético_Petróleos_de_Luanda_season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Ward on Twitter saying that even if we do qualify for European football we probably won't even be allowed to play as we don't have Uefa certification. I remember something coming out about that at the start of the season, only us and Hamilton were given 'No Award' with Celtic taking an A grade, Rangers B etc... but without that we'd be disqualified I guess? Also went on to say it's unlikely we'd get it in time nor be granted special dispensation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
