That's the difference between having a manager in charge who knows what he's doing , the new signings have not improved anything , What utter utter nonsense, you clearly didn't see much of us last season if you don't think we've improved anything. Warranted we struggled tonight but after 20 minutes I bet u where sitting there saying Livi are playing some really tidy stuff here. If you've seen any of the pre season games or the st Mirren or Edinburgh games you'll know we will be up there challenging this season, don't forget Ayr are in a higher league than us. Who gives a duck about Alloa beating Ross County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayia Napa Daz Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Probably quite a few when they're 20 points clear of us at the top of the table and we're mucking around in 7th place in the middle of April. Hopkin has signed a bunch of rejects and pub team players. Mark my words, we'll amount to absolutely nothing this season under him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champsfan Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Exactly , last year Hopkin brought in 7 and also had white , Ben Gordon and mcallam . Which was a much better squad than now , look at the st mirren game ..... Lost 3 goals at home ! Edinburgh city game ... Just playing against a junior side who will be lucky to win 5 games all season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just playing against a junior side who will be lucky to win 5 games all season Two goals we lost against St Mirren where absolute peaches, and the other a total fluke, we played fantastic against St Mirren. As for the Edinburgh game you've got to beat what's in front of you, it's the kinda game we've struggled in in the past and we eased to victory that night. Listen I'm not and never have been a Hopkin fan but I think it's very unfair to judge this team after losing to Ayr Utd, it was a bad night at the office, players wouldn't be playing at this level if they where consistent all the time, from the pre season friendlies and the two previous cup games there are a lot of positives to take. The league is the most important thing, we where basically 4th seed for the league cup group and will finish 4th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLad Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 You mist be tripping to think there was any good football in the first 20 last night. Hoofing the ball up to the giant Danny Mulllen at every opportunity, 2 holding mids sitting ten yards in front of the defence and a basic inability to pass the ball ten yards. We will be lucky to be top half in this league with this style, these players and this manager.Truly awful. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitburn Vale Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Think some on here need to calm down,it's only the league cup group stages ffs,they're glorified friendlies,what really counts is Saturday 6th of August and the league ko vs Stranraer. Imo,judge where we are and what we are about after several games in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLad Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Surely it is in these glorified friendlies that the manager will try to impose his style of play? It can be acceptable that the desired results will not transpire but if you have poor play, shape and style while still not achieving results, where does it go?Hopkin has repeatedly asked for time to make his mark on the team. All bar Danny Mullen are his players yet the football is tragically poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told there was someone filming directly opposite the main stand. Can understand if they've been destroyed in a fit of rage, but it seems a shame nonetheless Yeah - I've got the highlights all sorted, just need to get them uploaded. Things got a bit lost post-season, but I can assure you they have not been destroyed Thought I was going to witness an amazing comeback.....but not quite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins brought in nearly a full team in January aswell and asked for time ..... Got pumped in the play offs n relegated , now he's brought in another full team, half from airdrie who were 5th last season , so not giving me the most of confidence , team never looks as if it's got a shape to it and the long ball/ throw in is our main attack . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gives a duck about Alloa beating Ross County. Ayr are in a higher league than us because of Hopkin and that embarrassing trouncing away to Stranraer. We have a bigger budget than ayr and a far bigger squad, probably the biggest in this league. Our best midfielder is sitting on the bench as Hopkin plays all martindales signings. I'm with Daz on this one, early indications are we are in league 1 to stay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogieLivi Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Judging by today's lineup, is anyone else convinced that Darren Jamieson is on his way out at Livi? Maley on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Going by the players we've signed (where they've come from) I doubt we've a bigger budget than Ayr. Don't think our squad is that big either, and we've filled it out with 9 youngsters just out of the youth teams. Who do you reckon is our best midfielder, Pittman (think he was injured at the start of our pre season)? It's Cadden for me, has scored 3 goals and set a couple up in the 5 and a half games he's played for us. I think we've a better balance to the team than last season with Mullin and Cadden on the wings, and players mostly playing where they should be. My concern is Mullen up front, he just isn't an out and out striker who can play with his back to goal, he needs to be deeper so he can get the ball and run at players, like he did to get the penalty against St Johnstone. He'll get bullied off the ball all game up front himself. And Buchanan is playing too deep, Hopkin did the same with White last season, for some reason he's playing someone who will be our top goal scorer deep in midfield and a player who wont score as many goals as Buchanan up front as our main striker. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogieLivi Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Dropped from the side completely today. Don't really think he wants to be playing in League 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champsfan Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Do u not think that's just because hopkindale is clueless and doesn't think he's good enough although he's the best striker there ? Or he's injured ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
