Knox might have been able to step up but, for whatever reason, they believe he's still not ready. Wylde seems to score one goal in about every ten appearances which is pretty much on par with Lawless Because he's shite and has an attitude problem...? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I still think that Lamie's only first choice LWB while Halkett's still here. But yeah, where would he even play? We don't need a traditional left winger, and I'd be surprised if Holt was planning a formation change over the winter break 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's undoubtedly a good player in there but, all too often, he ruins it but showboating (unconvincingly). Understandable for a kid of 16 but he's 19 now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely be interesting with De Vita back to see the pecking order on the left. Definitely gives us a good amount of options anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need a traditional left winger, and I'd be surprised if Holt was planning a formation change over the winter break I like the idea of us having a wide left midfielder. Holt used the back 4 against Rangers for example and (with a 4-4-2) maybe having two bodies on the left might stop the annihilation we suffered in the second half at Pittodire. Lawless seems pretty versatile across the midfield so think we are in a good position to adjust shape. I'm excited by the signing of Wylde. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Would be a tad nervous seeing Toddy as a CB in the Premiership, he got exposed terribly against the Pars in our 3-1 defeat, was fine in most games being used as cover in defence right enough but at this level you'd expect more teams would test him in defence. Killie and Aberdeen have been the teams to rip us down our wings, Lamie wasn't playing against the Dons though so hopefully we'll be a bit better when he's back again. Also looked very thin on options from the bench against Aberdeen so Wylde should give us a bit of quality coming on as a sub, or starting when tactics dictate a change of formation.

Would have rather kept Josh Mullin but not sure he got an offer or wanted more money so left... Looked like Mullen jumped ship with the uncertainty of what was happening after Hoppy left. Was never a great defender but fantastic going forward, I think he's being played as a winger at County too so prob was a better move for him, may well be on better money there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes; he struggled in defence in the championship against the faster teams but did offer that degree of cover if you were bolstering up the defense whilst still keeping your attacking options open. Up front he lacked speed but was good at holding the ball up - and he's cheep and loves the Livi. Actually I was only sort of joking about bringing him in but he could offer us options; that being said Van Schaik has been looking more and more settled and could be a very useful asset going forward. With Lamie back we should be covered but with McMillan as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Mullin already have his move sorted before Hoppy left? To me it looked like he’d agreed a move in January, he went right off the boil compared to the first half of the season. He stepped it up again in the play offs though and I’d liked to have seen him have a crack at the premiership with us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 There had been rumours of him leave for about 6 months before he actually did. We very rarely saw the spark of his attacking bursts down the right wing akin to the one that set Pittman up for "that" goal. I thought he'd already had a bit of a falling out with Hopkins or Martindale over not being picked/starting more often. Don't think Hopkins leaving had any baring on his choice to leave actually. An excellent; exciting player when he wants to be - I do feel he could have cut it at this level but then again a footballer's career is a short one and they need to maximise their income (so long as that doesn't include sitting on the bench for a BB match). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpire Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Slightly off topic but Kilmarnock squad taking an absolute battering this window! Greg Stewart now left back to Birmingham, Brophy looks like he might be going and the lad whose away to Rangers already and putting out WATP tweets whilst he's still at Kili for 6 months (i'd be furious if one of our players did that - no class). Lets hope our lads stick together! Mon the Livi!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno for sure but I doubt RC would have approached him when they were still in the Premiership, and I think more likely they looked at players after going down. He was unsettled for a while in about the Jan transfer and rumours were going about but he still stayed, so I don't think there were any offers made on him. I don't think there was anything def arranged before the play offs. The way he played and celebrated us winning them looked like he was focussed on staying, same with Longridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
