Scotty Tunbridge Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 A nice trip through to Almondvale to see our West Lothian friends. I know it’s our turn to bend over and take the 1 goal defeat, but I don’t really think we can afford to with Celtic away next and Livi actually being catchable just now. Will a sporting 1-1 draw suit? I’d ring in a few changes from Sunday. Stubbs for Hamilton, Martin for Hunt and Oakley from Ogkompo. Is it still the farcical ticket operation in place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menga Bus Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Must win game already at this point in the season, finally past what will be the hardest fixture run of our season but with a depleted squad we really need to turn our form around 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Seven games without a win for us (since the last time we played Livi) and six for our good brothers - sadly, this is a game that both sides need to win. We've put in good performances in our last 2.5 games with two measly points to show for it, so we're either due an abominable performance or things are about to click (I think I know which one it'll be). I agree with Scotty's changes, although Hunt might keep his place so as to not make too many changes from a decent performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 We got fucked over by refereeing decisions for the Hearts and Hibs games otherwise we'd have been 4 points better off and could've afforded to give our plastic brothers the 3 points again, kinda desperate for them ourselves now though so hoping we both stick to our home win arrangement. Seriously though it looks like a big game for both clubs, a win would get us back up away from the dog fight around the bottom 2 spots, and similarly it would get Accies above us and on their way to mid table safety. Could do with Robbo starting up front with Dykes here, he's been an unused sub the last 2 games, and we'd be so much more threatening with him helping Dykes out pressing defenders. Against Sevco and Celtic their defenders were just ripping the piss out of Dykes chasing after the ball. Similarly getting Pittman playing in a forward role again could get us goals, lets just go for it and f**k defending, 7-6 Livi win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orco Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The alliance was working well last time we met with the 1-1 score and share of the points until the incompetent whistler awarded a penalty against our goalie punching the ball clear. Time for a wee bit of luck going Livi's way for a change. I'll take it on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of decency expected as part of the diddy alliance. That plus the turnstile operator may question it and send you back round to the ticket office to purchase an adult ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 What's the line up for this game then, if Robbo is still not fit enough to play i'd go with Tiffoney and Dykes up front, or playing in an attacking 3 alongside Pittman and Lawless in behind Dykes. Sarkic McMillan Guthrie Lamie Taylor-Sinclair Bartley Lawson Lawless Pittman Tiffoney Dykes Maybe Harsh on Crawford being left out but we're at home and we need to be a lot more attacking and don't need another defensive midfielder on the pitch. Can always bring him and Keaghan on 2nd half if we manage to get ourselves a goal or two ahead, just the break up play and make sure we shitfest it out for the win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Robinson on the scoresheet in the reserves tonight, so hopefully should see him getting on against Accies at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menga Bus Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Sarkic, lamie, Guthrie, lithgow (if fit), McMillan, Bartley, crawford, Pittman, lawless, robbo (if fit), dykes. could also swap crawford for lawson, but I’m fed up with seeing Lawson starting as a left mid it makes no sense Edited November 26, 2019 by Menga Bus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one game I thought he was poor but he gives us a different option. Ran Kilmarnock ragged last season and I think one of the games against Rangers this season he was very dangerous and his close control and strength caused them all sorts of bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was awful coming off the bench away to Forfar. He missed an absolute howler at home to Aberdeen and was hooked at half time because he was so bad. Last season against St Mirren, he blasted one over the bar from 8 yards with an open goal in front of him. He played well at home to St Mirren this year where he put in a lovely cross for the second goal but apart from that I've not been impressed and we've really not seen much of him since that honking miss against Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he's certainly not a goalscorer but his ability to carry the ball up the park is something we don't have a lot of in the team at the moment. Think he injured himself when he missed that chance against aberdeen and that's why we haven't seen much of him. There are plenty of players i'd have in ahead of him but I like him as an option on the bench 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Yeah Erskine looks decent on the ball, just terrible at finishing, looks all hunched over when he runs too, but deceptively quick and has a decent bit of stamina. Lawson has also missed a couple of howlers, away to Killie from the 6 yard box set up on a tee for him, and again against Celtic last weekend, chances were scarce and he had a great one he blasted over the bar. Big Marv is another, although his problem is more to do with him passing when he's in a great position to shoot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Calder Lion Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Well hopefully Robinson is back tomorrow. For me he is our most effective player and makes a huge difference. 3 points is a must. On a side note, the weather forecast suggests an extremely cold night tonight. I wonder how many games will be called off and how many will go ahead on poor/dangerous surfaces? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepek 4 tellys Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Looking forward to this. Been encouraged by our last 3 games and for once I believe we can match up to Livi physically. Stubbs back in along with Martin and hopefully 3pts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt has done well the last 2 games and would be harsh to drop him. Martin doesnt deserve to get straight back in after that daft sending off. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, either at the ticket office round the corner from the main entrance (to the right as you face it), or on your phone so you don't have to go to the ticket off and then to a turnstyle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
