Widge Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 So onto a game with arguably the 2 most out of form teams in the league, both sets of fans expecting to lose, but only one set calling for their manager to quite frankly f**k off. I've no doubt that Livi will set up, be solid at the back and dominate the midfield, whilst also carrying more of a goal threat. They wont even need to play well, we'll simply roll over meekly and get our bellies tickled. Gordon injured on Saturday and no Considine would mean a back four to 99.9% of people in the footballing community, but I've got no doubt our moronic manager will find a way to do something different. I can see another 2/3-0 win for Livi on the cards quite comfortably as our slide to the bottom gathers pace! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And attack for that matter. Edited April 11, 2023 by LIVIFOREVER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Well, it’s going to be Callum’s last stand I think. 1-0 Livingston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 If i see Guthrie and Nouble on the team sheet with Anderson on the bench i might be tempted to stay in the pub and no bother going to the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be so sure...there are some rockets in the Livi support calling for Martindale's head as he's committed the ultimate sin of....*checks notes* overachieving on expectations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Excited to see how well St Johnstone can hold onto a 3 goal lead; hopefully we get a decent second half this time. I'm actually starting to look forward to this, if Hibs fail to win in the early kick off then a win would put us ahead of them and 6th going into the last game*. Hopefully the ~4,000 community tickets are all used and we can get a good performance in with a lot of folk there; poor sods have had to watch us lose to Ross County and draw with Dundee United, so they're not exactly a good luck charm. I'm sure Martindale will move back away from his recent changes, unless he thinks Stevie May is worth reshuffling the team for then we should be going back to a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3, something that gives us more chance of moving the ball forward properly rather than aimlessly hoofing it to Guthrie/Nouble and hoping the other can get onto a knockdown. We need Anderson on from the start for this one, preferably Nouble is on the wing but if he's in a front 2 with Anderson I can deal with that. *Hibs win on the other hand pretty much sucks the excitement out before we even kick off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menga Bus Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 2 “must-win” games in a row we’ve been down 3-0 at HT against teams who’ve then sat back and taken their foot off the gas, and we still haven’t managed to score. Passive at the back and passive in attack, it’s a lethal combination we’re utilising at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passive at the back and passive in attack, it’s a lethal combination we’re utilising at the moment. Not so sure passive at the back best describes us, it's the high line getting mugged with quick balls in behind us beating the offside trap, then we're starting from a standing start chasing after the opposition player that just ran through on goal. There's always one of our players playing an opposition striker onside., Penrice did it against Motherwell on Saturday, only watching the guy that was in front of him, and not noticing the player he was in front of running through onto the ball. ICT did it for all 3 of their goals, Hibs did it with Youan beating Devlin playing him onside, it's the same every game just now, we're shite at it and keep getting caught out. Devlin also gave the ball away for Motherwell's first goal, as they just burst forward and beat us in a foot race getting in behind our high back line. We might not get caught out as often if we'd play down the wings and look more threatening in attack right enough, at least we would have a better chance of scoring some goals ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The Junior Saints are being offered free tickets for this. Being free is not incentive enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Our line up could literally be anything, formation wise and personnel. Managers clearly all out of ideas (idea...) and we've now effectively got players in the media criticising him. Hes either going to just throw some dramatically different shit at the wall in a blind panic to see if it works, or he'll bunker down even further into his back 5 obsession and we'll see the same line up as Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Callum and his players will be absolutely loving playing on a nice flat surface, no excuses now hobbit. 3-0 Livi and he finally gets the bullet. Cannot fucking wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9th and 5th were Gary Holt. Which doesn't detract from your point on Martindale, just important to properly credit Gary Holt's contribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's difficult to know how much Hoppy and Holt put into the team, Martindale has been the one constant through all our recent success, and afaik did all the recruitment, which has been a massive part of us doing so well, but yeah they were the managers in the earlier seasons winning promotion and first couple of seasons up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
