LiviLion Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Couple weeks ago this was the game that we were looking at as our best chance to get a win and hopefully turn a corner. County appointing a new manager probably fucks that up for us a bit. Not going to try and guess a line-up/formation, I just hope players are in their most natural position and it's not a case of some random County player scored a header once so our entire game plan is trying to stop that. Wouldn't be too fussed if we just let nature do it's thing, if the pitch freezes then it spares everyone an afternoon. Ideally get that decision made tonight/first thing in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Farter Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 22 hours ago, Livi La Vida Loca said: Hopefully we go for a back 4 if Obileye isn't able to start. Yup, we should've been doing that for the duration of his absence. A 4-2-3-1 with Nouble left mid and either McKay or Bradley on the right. Stephen Kelly attacking mid. Its a bit less attractive now that McKay is out and Obileye is nearing a return. At least with three centre backs we can get Anderson and Nouble up front together in a 3-5-2. I don't want to see the 3-6-1/3-4-2-1 tomorrow. Maybe if we're trying to protect a lead late on we can switch to it but not from the start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to hit -4 / -5 in Livi tonight and has been below zero the last couple of nights. A pitch inspection that early is most likely because of the distance County and their fans have to travel. I can't see the pitch passing an inspection that early in the morning with the met office showing it still to be -2. Would add that I reckon the only way a grass pitch would pass inspection in the same circumstances would be if it had undersoil heating as there's a section of our pitch that gets virtually no sun in the winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Bound to know if it has a chance, if it was unplayable today at 9.30am, it'll be unplayable at that time tomorrow, we're getting the same temperatures. The sun will barely be out at that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s an artificial surface it still freezes just like any other surface as does the substrate below it. Do Livi not have heating under the surface? It may be that it’s incompatible with the artificial surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallest support/ budget in the league and have punched way above their weight for years. Like Hamilton before them. I honestly don’t believe Martindale is under any pressure and certainly shouldn’t be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
