Dykes was great in that game and I’d say he’s massively improved as an outright striker since then. Hopefully Raith’s defence won’t cope with him. I do also think it could be a reasonably tight game though. We’ve been very good recently at home but just with our past record in the scottish cup and returning from breaks it makes me a bit cautious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Livingston and the Scottish Cup just don't go. At all. You'd expect us to win, but I really wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we're rolling in here on Saturday evening with Rovers winning/coming away with a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long throws we saw in the Burnt Sugar Cookie Cup versus the NI team, handled them OK. Set pieces are a mixed bag, at best. We have a new, undisclosed uinjury too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we be so lucky as to get an injury in a position where we have proven depth? IDK, we find out tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 As long as it isn't Henry or McDonald I will be reasonably happy.If it's a keeper we have cover, a RB we are covered, a centre back we have cover, a central midfielder covered, a winger we are a bit thin on but a striker we can cover the roll if a bit limited in options.I think it's Granty [emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Lithgow and ATS possibly out for this, if they both miss it that would give us one of Lamie and Brown at LB with the other at CB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't let it be Brown at LB. Could also be McMillan though, with Guthrie & Lamie as CB, and Lawson at RB. Don't think Brown will get a start yet, prob a late sub appearance if things are going well. Could see Robbo in the mid 3 behind Dykes too, from the twitter account of our games in La Manga he did well, and scored against Ajax. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Initial allocation of 500 sold out. Not bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Had no interest in going to this so didn’t bother getting a ticket. But now, as ever, it’s the day before the game and I want to go so will need to likely queue and probably miss the start of the game. Holding out no real hope of a result. Just a good performance and no injuries would do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Initial allocation of 500 sold out. Not bad. FFP quoting 578. Could potentially be 750-800 tomorrow. Which would be fantastic. I know we’re going to get beat, but I’m absolutely buzzing for tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lellywong Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hope McGlynn sets the team up to have a go, none of this defensive pish. Would rather get dubbed 4-0 than sit back and defend all game. Who knows Cup games have a habit of springing surprises, depends on which Rovers team turns up of course 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Away fans outnumber us in the league every week so this won’t be any different going by the numbers being spoken about, great effort from the Rovers fans. We have a dreadful record in this cup but I don’t sense Holt is the type to take any game lightly and if we aren’t at it he will let the players know. Reckon we’ll go as strong as possible... Stewart, Lawson, Guthrie, Lamie, McMillan, Bartley, Sibbald, Lawless, Pittman, Souda, Dykes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Made up team from a made up town, shitey home support and a comfortable defeat awaiting us. Not sure why I’m almost looking forward to this but I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of home fans, mean f*ckall at the end of the day, teams are where they are on merit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
