Northfield 53 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 This should hopefully be a good game as both teams have had a good start. We will have to play like we did against Falkirk to get a result hopefully we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 As it stands we are on a decent wee run of form creating lots of chances and scoring goals from defenders to the front men. Hopefully we keep the winning form into this match and take the 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The win against Morton last week was really needed after those first 3 league results where we felt we should've had more from the games. This will be our toughest game yet though, QoS have the best striker in the league and we don't score many goals so it is going to be important for our defence to be at their best, we can't really afford to concede more than one goal if we are to get something from the game. I'd be delighted with a draw here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 A game we should be looking to win if we have playoff ambitions. I think we'll win by a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM_1919 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 A game I'll be happy if we avoid defeat, as I think livi are quite a solid side. Next 4/5 games are massive, with St Mirren and Inverness away, I think we need to be picking up something from this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our record against them in recent years is that bad that I'd consider them a bogey team? I agree though that I'd probably accept a draw but really think we are capable of getting a win.

Draws do little to help the cause - if somebody offered me a draw in this one I wouldn't be interested.Go all out for a win - play 3 up and if after giving it a real go - it ends a draw so be it but as things stand I would be disappointed with a draw. I watched the Livvy game today against TNS - they played with a back 3 which didn't look the quickest. Livvy pass the ball well but I think they will be disappointed to out to a very ordinary Welsh outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Play the way we have in the past two league games and we should win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Would happily take a draw in this one. Queens have had a flying start so coming away with something here would be another positive result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Tough game and will be a good gauge of where our team are up to. They seem to be stuffy to beat but think we carry too much of a goal threat for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy_cammy Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 No reason we can't continue our good start in this one. The biggest problem for Naysmith at the moment is keeping all four strikers happy and deciding the best way to balance the midfield. Stirling didn't do enough on Saturday to put himself into contention for a start so Jacobs coming back in is a no-brainer. The only decision for the manager to make is whether it is alongside Tapping and Rankin, or at the expense of one of them. I'd be inclined to go for the same team that played at Falkirk but with Rooney coming in for Kerr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Carmichael is fit I think its almost certain he'll replace Stirling. The only other decision then, is Kane or Lyle up front. As well as Lyle is playing I think Kane gives us something different with his pace and runs in behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many draws, and defeats in ET? We don't have the same fire power up front this season but we've goals from midfield which helps make up for that, and the only game we struggled to score in was St Mirren after they went down to 10 men and sat in, I doubt very much Queens will do that. If we can manage to score first it'll be a frustrating game for Queens, and I think we'd get something from the game, maybe even hit them on the counter with a 2nd goal too and nick a win. As I said earlier though, a draw would be a good result for us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I reckon we might go to a 4 back with Penrice, Halkett, Gallagher McMillan. We've every chance at winning this game and should approach it as such, Queens of course feel the same way having had a brilliant start which should make this an interesting game. If we're to stay up/challenge playoffs this is the games we should be doing something with. I'd like to see Mackin (as much as he infuriates me) and Mullen start up front as well likely leaving us with a dilemma of which two to play in the middle if its a 442, Mullin out wide is a given due to how brilliant he's been so far but I haven't been impressed by Cadden this season so we'd probably see Rafa out wide. In saying that I'd like to see Knox get a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'd rather we went Toddy and Mullen up front, I just don't think Mackin runs about enough and unless we're dominating a game he'd be a bit of a passenger leaving Mullen doing a lot of chasing about, Toddy has the same attributes as Mackin but he's far more mobile. Can't see Lithgow being dropped, but we might go with Penrice and Mullin as WB's, and the usual 3 in defence and CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Kane, Dykes and Dobbie up front for me, Rooney to keep his place, Tapping, Jacobs, Rankin midfield, with Martin back in goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2006 in League Games (Livi were dominant pre SPL promotion) it been Queens 11, Draw 10 and Livi 7. There's usually about 3 goals a game and the last league 0-0 was in 1994, so an absolute stinker is probably overdue. It's a pretty competitive fixture but it's not even close to being a bogey team.
