LIVIFOREVER Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 16 hours ago, Fide said: My usual blind optimism has been boosted by our performance in the last 2 games, but then tempered by the fact we're pish away from home and our purple patches are usually 2 games long at best. A sneaky 1-2 away win would be splendid. I'd prob leave the ground being so delirious with joy seeing us scoring a goal, it might not register till i got home that we lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if anything it just gives me the fear... We haven't scored a goal since we last played you (a resounding defeat). You've just beaten Aberdeen and Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Not able to make this one and actually quite happy about that. Probably another thing that would point to a Livi win. I just can't see us keeping a clean or scoring more than once (if at all) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I'm somewhat optimistic with this one, don't know why. Maybe my brain has finally turned to mush watching the football we 'play' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 A Livi win will depend what team and formation Martindale goes witn. Hoping for a little early Christmas cheer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav nan Gael Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Killie hav the wind in their sails right now and deservedly so,would take a draw right now,hopefully a "score" draw. As seeing us scoring would be a blast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, we got a few good balls into the box, and Anderson had a good effort saved late on, but we desperately need a goal now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry the lion Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) I've been thinking about the impact Nicky Devlin leaving has had, at first I didn't think it was too big a deal, but I'm wondering if there's now a disconnect between DM and the team due to not having a proper figure -head amongst the players that can help support the boss's aims and game plans. Also wondering if players are looking at end-of contracts and where we are in the league at this time. On the mental side of things; does the club have anyone that works on sports psychology and more on the player/ team mindset etc? Anderson provides a speed and technical threat, pretty darn good working the offside trap, and if he had someone with height and presence up beside him, we'd get goals I'm sure. Whether that's Guthrie or not, not sure, I'd be inclined to stick Joel as a deep lying forward, with instructions to feed balls to Brucie. I'd also like to see Penners and Joel linking more, as they have demonstrated this in the past. Joel gets a bit of stick recently, but he needs others to play off of, remember Snoddy getting dogs abuse at times? as it turns out he was fine, just needed other players to play with. DM needs to take care of the boys, as it looks to me like we have the potential, but are missing some inner drive, or winning mentality, and we need something to build that upon. Absolutely desperate for a win today, but it will be a tough one. 2-1 ( jinxed it now) Edited December 16, 2023 by larry the lion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livi La Vida Loca Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Anderson not starting Sean Kelly and Shinnie starting Tells me everything I need to know. As ever hopefully I'm proved wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livi Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Nouble couldn't even give Martindale 5 minutes last week as he was "knackered" yet starts ahead of Anderson this week? Edited December 16, 2023 by Livi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Kennedy not featuring is a surprise and disappointment. Hope whatever has happened to him isn't serious! Watkins well deserving of a start after his cameo. Watson in was no surprise at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Farter Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Probably a 3-4-2-1 with Nouble at right wing back. Far from the team I'd have picked but hope it works. Edited December 16, 2023 by Freedom Farter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried Nouble and Guthrie together last season against St Mirren and Motherwell and it was crying out for a mobile player like Anderson playing off them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Killie scored 3 goals against us from set plays in the last game so seems Martindale's plan is to chuck on loads of tall players to defend set pieces, and have fuckall up front to get us a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Sean Kelly is only starting again just in case we manage to get a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
