Didn't seem to be many comments about him during/after the game. Although, we could barely see anything because of the fog in the second half. Alan Muir is the fourth official. Quote

Just as likely Livi will have a wee dip in form or suffer a bout of overconfidence - and surely we’re due a performance. There’s no doubt our players need to play better than they have in recent weeks, individually and collectively, and JG needs to find a better formation, otherwise we will lose. Even if Livi don’t turn up. Think JG will go for 4-4-1-1. Defence picks itself One up top (Brophy?) with McGrath just behind. But I struggle to see who to start in midfield: Connolly and Durmus out wide ? Erhahon and Flynn/Foley central ? Livi have looked very good recently, but their form has to end sometime and no reason that can’t be Sunday. COYS !! (Yes, I know - it’s the hope that kills you) I don't share your optimism. On the one hand we have beaten Livi twice this season, however how typical would it be to lose this one? I'm not sure form goes out of the window, I think that's basically an old footballing cliche, which I doubt is substantiated by any real evidence. Psychology is a huge factor in football, so let's hope Livi get gubbed tonight, and maybe that will influence the result on Sunday. The only positive, which is another footballing cliche, is that 'our name's on the Cup' and, having beaten Aberdeen and Rangers, we are simply destined to win it. 3-1 Livingston. Quote

[emoji20]Please don’t misinterpret my post as being optimistic. I’m saying you just never know.I actually think Livi will win 2 or 3 nil, but there is always a chance, albeit a very slim one, that the cards may fall our way on the day and we end defying the odds to win. Highly unlikely, but possible.I think Fakes will beat Hibs but lose to Livi in the final. Quote

elvis Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 I know there always a chance of winning but in all honesty it's a very very slim one. We haven't played well since beating the **** and we are weaker now team wise where as they have got better and better. Don't even see us scoring. 3-0 Livingston. Quote
shull Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 The more we get written off the better. Remember the 2013 Semi Final. Quote
turrabuddie Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 Got you a wee pressie for the Semi and Final,hope you enjoy the games. Thanks, but I have a large selection of black and white ones to choose from for Sunday, however, it may come in handy for the final !COYS !! Quote

Just about everyone thought the same after we drew The Ran**** in the previous round. Livi will lose at some point, and Sunday's as good a day as any. Quote
shull Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 We will have a two game masterplan. Stick to that and the League Cup is ours, again. Quote
portmahomack saint Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 Livingston play a very high intensity game, so playing at a big pitch like Hampden will help us if we pass the ball well and keep possession. we will miss Jake for sure but young Cammy is a able replacement, a very similar type player, for me the reason Jim doesn't play them together very often We'll need to bring a Rangers type performance on Sunday, anything less probably wont be good enough, Brophy up front on his own, with Jamie in behind, Durmas Erhahon MacPherson Connolly Big Jon Dennis and McAllister on the bench. Erwin to sit this one out, 2-1 Saints Quote

turrabuddie Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 It would be but it won't be. Game will be over Inside first half hour. Unfortunately that’s exactly what I fear. Remember the games against Aberdeen a few years ago - 3 down inside 30mins. Could be the same if we don’t turn up right from the start.Hope not though ... Quote
