Cptn Hooch Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'd very much like to see how Mullin handles a central role as he's another with a great eye for a pass. I'd like to see us take a gamble and give Kouider-Aissa a chance in a game like this.Mullin is one of the players I alluded to that seem too comfortable in their position and aren't performing at high levels to ensure they keep it. SKA has barely kicked a ball this season...it would be a ridiculous decision to play him in a game like this. The only player, other than Robbo that I think has a chance at causing issues is Poplatnik. JET might do a job coming off the bench against tired legs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep the ball on the ground then sure but we will absolutely persist with long balls yet again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Just a heads up folks that this one is a 6pm kick off. Threw me a wee bit when I went to go check - I know they've become common this season but I keep forgetting that. Will edit the title to include that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked decent in the air and have us a good bit of presence up front. Yeah he was still raw but he would have fit our tactics better. Even sending Jack Hamilton back out on loan seems bizarre with how we're trying to use Robbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing we have a plastic pitch or JET might have rooted into the turf Done some basic entry level scouting on it and there's a boy at Motherwell on loan from Northampton that'd fit our system perfectly. Harry Smith, 6'5, 25, wins about 13 headers on average a game (far higher than anyone else in the English League 1). Mobile and decent with the ball at his feet, has good link up play. Out of contract 2022 but has only played 5 games or so for Motherwell due to an injury. Would love to see us at least asking the question as he's already been up here on loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Up for this one now. Not sure whether Martindale will try to replicate the tactics from the 0-0 in August, or whether he'll try and press us a bit more. If I was him, I'd be pressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to change our tactics and lineup last minute with Lyndon Dykes being pulled out and we threw in a young guy with very little top flight experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know aye, but the general principle of going with a low block and crowding the middle of the pitch is one Livi have used a few times against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 McGregor, Patterson, Goldson, Helander, Barisic, Davis, Kamara, Arfield, Aribo, Kent, Morelos is the team. Balogun doesn't make the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Can see us dropping points tonight. I didn't see Livi at the weekend but I'm fully expecting them to put in a wee bit more effort in to tonight's game.

bennett Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 That 'pitch' looks like it came from a greengrocers display, shocking for premiership football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz5 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Pretty Turgid half hour. Big Joe looking the most likely again, he's on a good wee run just now.Patterson looks a player as well, what we've seen of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
