paranoid android Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 So, this is happening on Wednesday night - another freezing cold night in Gorgie, no doubt. Was a wee bit concerned when Michael Smith was subbed the other night - hope he makes it for this. Decisions to be made re Shaughnessy or Dikamona and Mulraney or Mitchell and Lee and Morrison. Vanecek will still be short of puff even if he shakes off his ankle knock. Tough game again, but we need a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithgow, Byrne and Kelly will keep their places in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 We’ve been really poor lately and Saturday was pretty horrific especially the first half, something needs to change, we are far too predictable now. Kelly, Odoffin, Gallagher, Halkett, Lamie, Lawson, Jacobs, Byrne, Pittman, Hardie, Tiffoney. Tiffoney deserves to keep his starting place, was one of very few shining lights to come out of the weekend, his energy alone was enough but he also showed he can play a bit and has a fair bit of pace to burn. Keep Menga on the bench and bring him on to try and get at a tiring defence, he was good when he came on at the weekend and his unpredictability might pay off from the bench. Either way I don’t see us getting much from this game but I want to see something different game plan wise, but I especially want to see that drive and endeavour that we are used to return, it’s been lacking recently. Whether we are in a state of we’ve done the job of staying up or not I don’t know, we have to be very careful not to get dragged into it, a good performance here to raise morale is a must at the very least.

EdinburghLivi Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Agree that Tiffoney has done nothing to merit being dropped but I think we need Menga's presence against Berra and Souttar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navallion Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Really want to thrash these fuckers due to the pumping we recieved at Almondvale, will be a tough game but a win is very much needed for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, might be harsh but I feel we need to go to a back 4 so someone has to come out, no point putting one of the centre backs at left or right back when we have players that can play in those positions naturally. Saying that I don’t think it’ll happen, and if we do go to a 4 Gallagher will probably go out to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 4-3-2-1 might be a goer. KellyOdoffin, Gallagher, Halkett, L’amieLawson, Byrne, PittmanMenga, TiffoneyHardieDefinitely see the attraction of changing it up a bit, but we’ve not been too unsuccessful at Tynecastle this season. 0-0 when hearts were winning literally everything and a 1-0 defeat to a class goal. We don’t need to change it up too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orco Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'd like to be but I'm still not convinced about Lawson. I don't think he fits our style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 It would be very frustrating but not a great deal surprising if we win away to Killie then drop points at home against Livi. Could be any number of formations and lineups for us so I won’t even try, as PA says though hopefully Mick Smith is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 There should be no changes from Friday night's starting eleven for us. Ideal that we've had an extra day between matches for this and also that we don't play Auchinshoogle till the Sunday, who we'll pap with a weakened side anyway. Hopefully a comfortable home win, with Motherwell and St Mirren up next in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'd stick with the usual back 3 and 3 grafters in midfield, problem is the WB's, Lawless is good going forward but weak in defence, but we get away with that most games, we wont against Hearts though. Jack McMillan had to come on and help out Gallagher in that 0-0 draw at Tynecastle when we were getting exposed down that flank. Odoffin and Lamie have to start or we'll get ripped down the wings again. Keaghan may still be injured though, if he is then i'd stick Lawson in alongside Byrne and Pittman. Not too bothered who partners Hardie up front from Tiffoney and Menga, they'd both run at the Hearts defence and soften them up for the other to come on as a 2nd half sub. I don't go along with the doom and gloom merchants thinking 'we've been sussed/found out, get the starting line up correct and we wont be a pushover, and I think we just need that first goal to get us going again, Hardie will find the net soon.

DC92 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I hate playing teams who've just taken a pumping because they always seem to shut up shop for the next match and make things difficult. Livingston have shown they can do that to good effect this season. Happy enough to go with the same team as Friday. Uche to make the bench?

Afro Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Not heading to this so naturally, we’ll get something. Shouts of 4-3-2-1 look fine on paper, would be keen to see it in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navallion Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 No changes aside from maybe seeing Godinho in the lineup. Smith hasn't done anything wrong to be out of the team but neither had Godinho and he has been dropped after scoring his first goal for the club against St. Johnstone. It's a weird cycle.
