Diamonds are Forever Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) 1 hour ago, Mr November said: Yeah, when Diack came on and again when Ngwenya came on I just assumed it would be a change of shape to be a bit more compact and double up on Nouble and Brandon. Stanway was fine at Airdrie last season when he played but I have been surprised at him becoming a regular starter in a better team. I suppose a lot of it is not really having a proper Docherty replacement? No harm to him but I knew Thistle were done when Stanway was taking the set-pieces. Yeah I've thought the same regarding Stanway. I liked him, he was a decent player and he seemed to have a great attitude and enthusiasm. He's also the best diver I've seen at Airdrie since Paul Lovering, I think he won 3 penalties in half a season from the bench. But quality wise I'd never have thought he was ready to go straight in and start in a promotion hunting/title challenging side. He couldn't get a start for a League 1 side last year. I guess he's the type of player that if he's surrounded by enough quality could do the job of the more destructive player, but it doesn't really seem like that at Thistle.

Nightmare Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Based on today, you can see why this Livingston team is struggling in the top flight. A very, very limited group of football players who happen to all be about 6’5” which allows them to score goals from set pieces - which ultimately decided the game today. You probably don’t get the same opportunities against the majority of the top flight, which unfortunately we weren’t in position to combat today. No real complaints overall, but ultimately a disappointing performance in a very winnable game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt got the team together ,made it harder for his teammates.Hard on Thistle, 2 0 up with what 20 mins to go..Blew it big style.Been there,sore one to take.Possibly see you next season. Or maybe not.SPL is shite BTW.Fucking hate it as so many Livi fans do .But money talks.Get yourselves into this.Regardless of the next round.Wel see you next season. The Premiership was okay until they introduced VAR; not the same game I started to watch more than half a century ago now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) I'd hope my contributions in this thread acknowledge that Livi deserved to win the game but f**k me how can you give a corner for this (which got Livi back into the game) ? What are you looking at? How can the ball go out of play at that angle and at that speed off the defender?

Still not impressed with McGovern, lets too many shots in, that he should be saving. Some comeback though, just hope that it isn't a pattern, and we have to try coming back from 3-0 down in the next round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Tbf, Nouble didnt just take his goal really well but he was extremely diligent getting back against Lawless who had a mixed game at best as a result, which made it a lot harder for him to cut inside and do anything other than either give the ball away or at best find an unthreatening sideways pass.

GrahamJags Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Absolute bottle merchants. PTSD from the playoffs there and as soon as Livi scored the first, it was only going one way. Bannigan was excellent for us, as was Milne for the majority. As has been mentioned previously, and acknowledged by Doolan, the subs killed us. Not sure the logic of taking Graham and Lawless off that early, and particularly not McMillan unless he was injured. Neilson had a good game, but he let Nouble run at him inside the box for the second, and I think it’s his man for the winner. Livi were good second half and extra time, so probably deserved to go through overall, but it’s so frustrating how we can’t hang onto leads.

colliedug Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I personally don't think the changes were wrong when we went 2 up but where Dools got it wrong imo was that he should have kept them on for another 10 or 15 mins to take the immediate sting out of Livi's obvious onslaught and physicality that was going to come, if Livi didn't score in that period the game I think the game would have drifted away from them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
