LIVIFOREVER Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Tough game this, County only lost to Motherwell after getting a red card (sounds familiar to us), and a deflected goal to Sevco, scudded Killie and Utd and drew with Hibs, but we're at home and they've not got a great record playing us in Livingston. To make matters worse Collum is officiating and Beaton is on VAR, so how many players will we lose in this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 This is a game where I think every County fan would take a point if offered it now. Our record at Livi is very poor. Our lineup kind of picks itself right now. The shape is the only thing that changes. Laidlaw Randall Watson Iacovitti G. Edwards Kenneh Loturi Harmon Dhanda Brophy White Head says 2-0 Livi, Heart says 1-0 County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'd bite your hand off for a point. I still think Livi always seem to outright outwork us in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The draw against Dundee United was good for stopping the losing run, hopefully the time off has helped in getting spirits back up and Martindale working a few things out. Still a good chance of top 6 and Europe but we really need to win this if we want to make it. George Devlin - de Lucas - Boyes - Penrice Pittman - Holt - Stephen Kelly Bradley - Anderson - Nouble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its normally one match for a "professional foul" but this is his second this season so could be different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I never watched County's last two home matches, but going by Motherwell's goals from the highlights, Nouble could have a field day on the left of a three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 As usual, hard to predict what Martindale will do exactly. The main reason the 4-2-3-1 first half against Dun Utd gave us that 70% possession was having the two holders in centre mid. Shinnie and Holt were Pirlo and Gattuso. Shinnie playmaking from deep with Holt more there as defensive insurance alongside him. Martindale might want Stephen Kelly back in the side, though. He could just swap Stephen Kelly directly into Shinnie's role from the Utd match, so as a deep playmaker. More likely, though, if Stephen Kelly plays then it'll change to a 4-3-3 with Pittman pulled back into centre mid alongside Stephen Kelly, that sees both playing as an 8 with a central holder between them. The 4-3-3 gives us less control in possession but possibly a greater attacking edge, such as in the 3-0 Kilmarnock match. De Lucas, judging on a single appearance, might be less of a rock than Obileye but with increased mobility. That suits this match as his direct opponent will probably be Brophy who can be dangerous pulling slightly wider into the inside left channel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Regardless of what formation we play,make no mistake this will be a toughie.Probably just about our last chance as far as top 6 aspirations are concerned for us imo.Would love to get a two goal cushion here as I think that's what's going to be needed.Last home game for a while,got to make it count.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 We get nothing out of these matches against Livi so anything is a bonus imo The performance up in Dingwall last time was decent but two break away goals/defensive errors killed us. For County tomorrow the performance means nothing, we want to take a point (or three) back up the A9 with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Livi,looks likely we won't have Fitzwater or Obiley in defence.Will need to keep Big shagger White & Lone Wolf Brophy at bay.I genuinely can't call this but possibly home advantage may just tip it our way.Only if our offence has their shooting boots on.Looking forward to it.Safe journey down to our County friends. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More "safe journey home afterwards". Looking at the BBC; the weather isn't looking too good for the A9 after 6pm.

Comrie Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 That really sums it up so far, from a sclaffed clearance County had a fast counter on but Livi shut down all potential lines of attack fast and it ended up with a shitey shot off target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
