It feels a much better environment since hammell came in and because of that we may see improvement in some players that it was never going to happen for under alexander,I'm happy enough if the squad as a whole gets the chance to impress.

Nah - the rest of us would need to be pissed for that to happen [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good post Spider. I thought out of the midfield that started the game young Cornelius was unfortunate to be subbed as he was the only one that got forward in the first half. Lamie’s passing was lamentable but in his defence he was having to be play-maker much of the time as Goss and Slattery went missing.

Just back in from the game in all honesty it was dreadful, Livi had no intention of going forward from the 1st whistle, we had lots of the ball but we are feckin toothless up front we carry no threat at all. That said we got into good positions on a few occasions and probably just shaded the game so a deserved win. We can't rely on dubious penalties to win games we need to sign a goalscorer ASAP , the sending off forced Livi To come out more and we are terrible at seeing games out we defend too deep and let them get into areas of the park they should be nowhere near that late in a game. We are moving in the right direction but we need to create and take more chances up front to keep the momentum going , which for me will be difficult with the current players as I said we need a goalscorer to back up KVV. So a dreadful game football wise but a fantastic result, another 3 points and 3rd place in hhe league, so has to be a good day at the office onwards and upwards.

I've got a feeling that the refs have been told to crack down on deliberate fouls this year. Quite a few games have been unwatchable recently because teams foul almost every time they lose their shape. It makes for a better product if the game flows and we see some attacking football with ball in play rather than endless free kicks. St Johnstone are by far the worst for it but we were pretty bad under GA and Celtic are incredibly cynical if you look at the high number of fouls they commit despite having 80% possession most games. Lundstrum got sent off today for the same tackle Callum Lang saw red for at Dingwall. It was the correct decision but it needs to be 100% consistent.

That was the first clean sheet in a long time that actually felt deserved. Usually we rely on a save or two, and usually the opposition failing to take a chance, but other than the snap shot from Goncalves late on, they had nothing. We did a great job of not conceding silly fouls in our third, and we handled their physicality like it wasn't a thing.

Let's be honest the match was a complete snoozefest, I don't think either goalkeeper actually had a save to make out with the penalty. Still it was important we took points from the easier fixtures at the start of the season.. However, we may have changed manager, formation and style but our lack of creativity in open play is still there for all too see.

Hardly a classic, but three points is three points. I thought we were trying to play football today but it just didn't work out for the most part. Livi are also a lot better at holding their shape than Aberdeen and don't give a lot away.

Difficult one. There were no standouts in an attacking sense. Our midfield 3 and back 4 were solid all game, and it was one of Sol's best games. I went with O'Donnell though. His forward runs and pressing really make a difference, and he didn't put a foot wrong defensively.

Based on recent experience, now that we're in third every other team will conspire to keep us there.

Sad to see the Popinjay got burned down

A reasonable first half from us, a bit disjointed going forward but some nice ball retention. Hopefully we can find a wee bit of quality to go on and win this. Livi have barely had a sniff.

PPV for UK fans was a special arrangement during lockdown. It's usually against League and the broadcasters' rules. Now lockdown has gone, so has PPV.

I’m with you on this. The one thing Efford has is pace and that will always worry defenders. If he could just add an end product he’d be a really good asset.
