EdinburghLivi Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Surprised no one had started this already! Really looking forward to this, particularly now that it has been confirmed by Livi that we will be able to watch the game via St. Mirren's PPV service. Will be checking it out with Islington Elite LSC. Rate St. Mirren and Goodwin pretty highly. Think they will be pretty comfortable this season. That said, I think we can get a result here, regardless of Dykes staying this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thruthenight Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 We've looked solid AF in preseason, our defence looks even strong than last year, and as of right now then Lyndon Dykes is still here. 1-11 I think we're stronger than last year, although once Dykes goes that might not be true. Hopefully Sal and Propratnik come good. This season I expect us to win 75% of away games and lose at home to everyone but Aberdeen. 3-1 Livi, Dykes perfect hat-trick before moving to Luton for 2.5m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I said on the St Mirren thread, this could be a difficult one for us for several reasons. We are clearly lop sided in defence (at present anyway). We have two central defenders in McCarthy and Shaughnessy who will definitely start (barring injury - or more +ve Covid tests!) and so will Tait. Which side Tait plays on will depend on who, if anyone, we bring in before Saturday. What's more, there is definitely pressure on us to get something from this. Even putting aside the first game of the season, and it being a home game, we have both sides of the OF immediately after this. With all the best will in the world I do not see us taking points from them (I mean, we could, but you know...) meaning it's almost imperative we get some points on the board before we play Hamilton after that. It's hardly a "must win" because that would just be stupid, but it very much is a "ooh, now this would be a damned useful point or three" type of game. In terms of the rest of the team, it's pretty solid. We won't have either Magennis or Flynn, both important players for us for different reasons and both coming back from injury, but we have enough midfielders to fill two squads, while Obika is still very much likely to spearhead the attack with Morais brought on as a sub either late on or, if we are trailing, to partner him. In terms of formation I'd expect us to go a 4-5-1 with that working out more as a 4-1-4-1 but that really depends purely on the full back position and how Goodwin will shuffle the pack. He might go all out and play a diamond 4-4-2, but that really doesn't play to our current strengths and I'm not sure Goodwin is a man who will gamble for the first game of the season.

Lex Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Football? Who’d have thunk it. Played Livi three times last season, lost two drew one. However the two losses were clearly due to Livingston’s pitch ([emoji854]) I feel we have a stronger squad now than we have had for a long time, we’ve certainly had a good window. Would be quite the bubble burster if we were to lose this, particularly given our next two games are against Rangers and Celtic. Livingston are a top six team, they’ll certainly fancy their chances and I won’t be surprised if we lost. Cautiously optimistic though.

hoobahabba Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I would take a draw here. I thought St Mirren were decent last season and would expect them to come at us in this first fixture. I would line up with a 5-3-1-1: McCrorieDevlin Ambrose Guthrie Brown Taylor-SinclairBartley Sibbald Pittman ForrestDykesAlternatively, a 4-2-3-1McCrorieDevlin Ambrose Guthrie Taylor-SinclairBartley SibbaldForrest Pittman RobinsonDykes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Calder Lion Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Looking forward to getting to watch this one on PPV. Our pre-season has been OK, the win at Killie gives some optimism about our chances in this type of match away from home. No reason why we can't aim for a top six finish.
