abc2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 What's Dykes bringing to the table up the road then? Very much a target man if you haven't already sussed, and tasked with linking play from midfield to attack. Very useful athleticism when it comes to chasing 'lost' balls and making something of it. Wasn't a goalscorer of sort at Palmerston but never failed to put himself in a good position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 3 goals so far, pretty much what you've just posted though, and the goal scoring is a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a good outlet as a goal scorer tbh, 3 already and he's said he's targeting double figures in the league. Great energy, great power, good on the ball. His work rate and attitude is a perfect match for us. Seems to always be at the end of a pass in the final third and there to finish it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was criticised quite heavily at QotS for his lack of finishing ability when it came down to it and some couldn't wait to see him go. Whereas in reality, he would have been involved in assisting many goals last year and without him Dobbie would not have led the line for us due to his age. His energy is brilliant! Really hope he kicks on for you lot! Be good to see yous finish mid table comfortably again and hopefully get a good cup run under your belts! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been spoilt with Dobbie racking up 30+ goals a season though, there's been a lot less expectation on strikers at Livi , we've had so many different players chipping in with goals, almost everyone in our squad scored, probably the only ones that didn't score were Neil Alexander and Liam Kelly. Might be a bit different this season though, our defence isn't likely to be as good, so we could do with a more prolific goal scorer, I doubt anyone is expecting it to be Dykes though, think we're pinning our hopes on Souda being that player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylivi1 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) You’ll probably all eventually get sick to death of me posting every week about this podcast but hey ho, here we are again. I don’t often bum up the podcast too much I don’t think, but this week is a must listen, Gary Holt was tremendous and is so open and honest it’s a great listen just for the interview alone. You can find us on all podcast providers by searching Talk Livi, or head over to our social media for the links. Our website is - TalkLiviPodcast.Libsyn.com Let me know your thoughts.

ATLIS Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Pepe posting on Instagram, a picture of him training before the game/half time with the caption "And now I am focused enough?". Martindale had a right go at him after the game so I guess they're telling him he's not focused enough. If he's going to continue this way he'll be binned before Christmas, into the pile of Gregg Wylde hate comments 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs time to learn the Scottish game. Really hope he can kick on but can't see him being first choice for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to adylivi's interview with Holt he had picked up a wee twinge in his thigh (I think) and was struggling a bit to get up to speed fitness wise with our high intensity training. Cracking interview BTW, you should listen to it, Holt covers quite a bit in it. Edited August 5, 2019 by LIVIFOREVER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was more about the desperation for their to be a new villain/scapegoat now that Wylde is out the picture Will give the interview/podcast a listen when I get the time later though, by the sounds of it will be a good listen.

Nae fears there, Pepe is def going to be that player. His first touch was to lose the ball, but it somehow rebounded back up to him and he carried on as if he meant it, brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, I’d say it was our best interview yet tbh, Gary is so laid back and honest, made for a great interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Discounting Berwick because they were unbelievably pish, in our other 5 games we've scored 1 second half goal, and conceded 5. I really hope this isn't going to be a thing for the season because the likes of Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen will absolutely hammer us if we keep it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
