munoz Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) If we are to start climbing the table, this is exactly the type of game we really need to be winning. Livi 4pts ahead of us but we do have 3 games in hand over them. Can we put in a solid 90m minutes and take the 3 points ? 2-1 Saints, Obika double.

DougJamie Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hopefully with Flynn back we can start to create more, tough game but one I feel we need at least a point from.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Teams in the Top Six are still catchable and we should be aiming to do so. Not fecking worrying about Hamilton Accies, FECKEM. Livy 1 Super Saints 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankin_panda Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Their pitch is a nightmare to watch football on but I’m hopeful we can grab all 3 Points. Out of curiosity - is Ilkay Durmus injured? Or just not playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity - is Ilkay Durmus injured? Or just not playing? Injured. Think heard the commentator say that during the Morton game. Could be hes not fully recovered from the covid scare at the club. Just read that Obika was one of the worst effected players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jon has came on fighting fit last few games. Doing his job. Durmus is hit or miss but a good option to have. Hopefully fit soon too.

Dare Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Not really confident on this one - when Morton switched to a high press game in the second half we didn't seem to be able to handle it ............ that is exactly what Livi will do from the start against us. For me we just don't seem to have the balance right in the middle of the park and just end up bypassing it and lofting hopeful balls to our front line. Hopefully Foley can rediscover some form and I'd also play Connelly from the start to give us an alternative out ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After such a dreadful injury, should Goodwin consider selecting Flynn to play on an artificial playing surface ? Too big a risk IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foley not quite been up to last seasons standards though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too big a risk IMO. Stats show that far more injures appear on grass than artificial turf. Percentage wise grass v artificial more injuries occur on grass than on artificial so should not be a factor. Don't know why people use this as a problem.

I prefer Foley in central defence Midfield is a problem we just don't seem comfortable with the ball Hence the long balls up to the forwards when teams press us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However - I reckon he can do the job and hopefully going forward we won’t end up with further suspensions to JS. 2 at this stage of the season is disappointing. ad for midfield, we could be doing with a Stephen McGinn esq player who can pick a pass. Cammy can do that but was off his game Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Tait and Mason available now for both left back and right back, Fraser can cover in central area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Fairly inconclusive if either pitch causes more injuries than the other, as there are so many different factors. What does to be a factor in causing injury is a poorly maintained artificial pitch with lots of rubber pellets. The Livingston pitch has lots of rubber pellets as does Accies shitty effort. Anyway, artificial pitches are shit, and only a plum of the highest order would think otherwise. https://www.goal.com/en/news/do-artificial-football-pitches-cause-more-injuries-than/1prtyjo6rv5jh13jpf7fvb0jfz Edited November 17, 2020 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should not be allowed in the top 2 leagues. If people think there so good. Why is it not 1 of 92 league clubs in England have one. Time to act. But as usual they'll do nothing.

FTOF Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Many of the top clubs in England use Desso hybrid pitches which is a combination of grass and plastic. They're generally about 95% grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
