Troy.1995 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 No thread for this yet.Surely some interest can be generated. Oh well here goes.Great result for the Buddies on Saturday albeit against ten men.Nevertheless theyl no doubt be on a high and rightly so imo.As for Livi.After playing against Hibs at Easter Road it was concerning to see the collapse after going down to ten men unjustly I might add.Its been one of our strengths lately,our defence that is.Would be good to see some of our injured players back for this,especially Nouble.We certainly missed him on Saturday. We're back at home for the first time in nearly 2 months.Can but hope we find our pre World Cup form and take the game to St Mirren. Wont be easy,but we're better than that Hibs result suggests. Anyway wrap up well,its gonna be baltic. Hopefully both teams can warm us up,with the empathise on Livi obviously, sorry Buddies.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 We're undefeated against Livi in the league since the days of Gary Holt (8 games). Hopefully this stat doesn't come to an end tomorrow. Another stat courtesy of the BBC is that we've only lost one midweek game (Celtic) in our last 15. What could possibly go wrong. Saints win 2-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 A 1-1 here wouldn’t surprise me, however, I couldn’t predict my way out of a wet paper poke this season, so will likely be 4-3 to someone. Us, hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellV1 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 It’s St Mirren away from home so probably 3-0 Livi with an early red card & a couple of penalties conceded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Don't think we've anything to worry about defensively when we're playing with 11 players, but twice we've totally collapsed when going down to 10 men, 5-0 against Aberdeen & 4-0 Hibs, so Martindale really needs to work out why that is and get it sorted for the next time we get a red card. Another thing needing fixed is our penalty taking, we've been woeful at scoring from the spot this season, and since VAR's introduction we've had quite a few of them. We also missed a pen against St Mirren in our last meeting, which cost us at least getting a draw. I'd be more optimistic of us getting something if Nouble is back for this, with him, Bahamboula and Anderson in a front 3, reckon Anderson would thrive having those two either side of him but it rarely happens for one reason or another. Hopefully Shamal is back in goals for us too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Impossible to call this, but I think 60/40 in favour of a Livi win. We really have to improve our away form, but the Spaghettihad on a Wednesday night probably isn't the place. Single-goal margin home win, btts, at least one penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if the game is tight and competitive but we lose by the off goal, whilst not exactly good, could maybe point to a potential improvement in away form. If we get steamrolled again and the game is effectively over by half time then it looks like it'll be more of the same, and it's a full season of praying our home form holds up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 If we could start by not losing by 3 or 4 that would be tremendous. We seem to fall apart on the road after being competitive early on...once the first goes in though, that's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not getting sucked into this.Livi's record against Saints ain't great.Depending on the starting 11 will tell me how this game will pan out for the Lions.Would tend to agree,first goal if at all will be crucial here.Our defence and indeed all over the pitch will have to be at the top of our game to get a result here, even though we're at home imo.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I'd shake hands on a draw right now. Livi get to steady the ship after a couple of defeats while we get a point to marginally improve our stinking away form.

NorthBank Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Holt can play against us as Livi have appealed the ordering off. Nouble may also be back. Strangely I am confident about this. We have only been beaten once in our last 5 visits. How we start is crucial. On Saturday we did not press enough from the start (not for the first time) and allowed Aberdeen to dictate play. Get in their faces to begin with and I think we have the workrate and energy to dominate play. Ayunga and Main may be hopeless in front of goal but they can demolish any defence allowing others to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with you lot in the game at our place, though Greive's winner was a glorious moment. We've been saying all season - and Declan Gallagher is in the press today saying it as well - that the way we play should be perfect for away games, but for some reason just isn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 This is going to be shite. There will probably be a penalty at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Tough game to call. Our away form is shocking. Livi are a very hard working side with players who can hurt you on the day. I would happily take any form of win but I am not confident 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
