Back on a real pitch today will Livi play the in your face hard tough game? Should be 3 points to us!

If we get good performances from the likes of just and maswanhise then I think we will win this,if we get the first goal then the message has to be not letting up at any stage of the game so we dont end up with another killie or falkirk result at home.

Big game and need 3pts

John McGlynn appears to have us sussed out, will Martindale learn from his tactics? Hopefully Watt not out for too long.

Only if Martindale manages to roll out a plastic pitch at Fir Park and dry out the half we're playing in to.

I fancy our chances against Falkirk at Fir Park next time too.

Should be confident of winning this but we have to put in the effort. Livi maybe bottom but still not a pushover. Hopefully Watt is back for at least part of the game. As someone suggested playing RCC from the start instead of Hendry/AP might be worth a try. Slats needs to up his performance level a bit and not lapse into his old. Falling over habit and getting caught on the ball. 
if we can get an early goal then perhaps we can a few more.

For Livi I'd have a few more of our physical players start, although Hendry was poor last night I'd start him but also have RCC, Said, Sparrow all start as they add strength v's others can get pushed around. 

Like others have mentioned Watt being back will make a huge difference - we missed him last night.

Anyone know what is actually wrong with Watt?

I note he wasnt even on the bench, so suggests more than just rotation / load protection.

With Hibs playing Falkirk and Celtic v Hearts, 3 points from the Livi game would be a great boost. Perhaps Killie can even take some points off Rangers at Rigny park.

Five games in 14 days is a big ask of the teams fitness , with the type of game we play and the possession stats.

Hopefully they have  recharged the batteries and we keep the pace up against a stuffy Livingstone.

He's too good, and the SFA asked us to stop making other midfielders look ordinary. 

The story I heard was minor injury, but no idea how accurate that is.

Livingston had no midweek game so they are well rested. Thankfully after Saturday’s back to a week between games till we play Celtic last game of the year. 
we should have enough players with enough energy to see us through this game. 🤞

and each of them the result of a dodgy VAR decision to send Martindale apoplectic.
