Livi v Cowden

Not much to be said really, have to win this.

Yep....it is a "must win" & for that very reason, we won't. (Mr Negativity strikes again - but as I keep saying, the lower my expectations the less disappointed I am).

Liv 1 Cow 1

FG 33 mins

Must win, we can't afford to lose this. If we lose we are done.

That must be the message that goes to the players this week

1-0 Livi. 74 mins FG.

They will pack it tight and we'll likely have to persevere to score.

Would start Beaumont for this game, the lad has a great pass in him and can take a mean free kick too, hopefully Keaghan is back playing too.

Normally I would suggest Rutherford instead of Talbot but against a physical Cowdenbeath side with the high winds predicted you're probably right.

Also Kyle and Keaghan tend to play better when they're next to each other so would think about swapping over Keaghan and Beaumont

Need to score first and quickly or Cowdenbeath will simply dig in and hold out for a draw.

We've manged to beat them in our last four encouters at home, let's keep this trend going.

Yeah was thinking we need pace down the wings and both Kyle and Keaghan have that and are decent hitting the bye line. If it is a packed box with Cowden sitting in we wont break them down going through the middle all game, we need to get down the wings too. Would need to work overlaps with the wingbacks though.

We'll prob stick with Dycey though and he'll hit diagonal balls from wherever he gets a pass from. Best ball I saw him put in was when Beaumont hit a great pass to him right up to the bye line and Dycey crossed it for Burchill to score. He wont run with the ball though and unless he gets a pass that has him up there he'll hit it from 35/40 yards back from the bye line.

Wasn't it a 2-2 draw last time we played them at home? No, just checked we won 1-0

Hope we score an early goal and run riot scoring with every shot we get at goal, 5-0 would be sweet.

I'll plump for 2-1 Livi, mon the AM.

Forgot the FG time: 27 mins.

It was 2-1 back in August - http://livingstonfc.co.uk/news/news_20140816_1.php

Might be worth noting that Ogleby scored all four goals in a 4-2 win against Berwick in the Development League. Make what you will, but this could trigger Burchill to start him.

Haven't rated him at all but willing to try anything if it has a chance of getting us goals. Ogleby and White up front with Mullen playing in behind them in the Glen role could be an option.

Could be a case similar to Rory Boulding. Once he got given a chance rather than the odd 20 mins and with the players to assist him, he may be useful...

...or he may be useless as per.

True enough...I'd forgotten we had played them at home this season already!

Sounds like he's too good for the Development League....which he should be at 23.

the climb starts here!!! 2-0 livi FG 16 mins

If Ogleby scores and goes on a run, just remember when Uncle EL tipped him for the top. Impeccable eye for a player.

Ogleby is shite. He'll never score a first team goal in a Livingston shirt.

1-1 and all but relegated unfortunately.

I've been saying a goal has been coming from him tae, i'm  bound to get it right one of these times........................................I hope.

Would be great if he does do a Boulding though, we sure as feck could do with the goals.

First post for some time bit depressed with results/performances for a while after the good start. However new year and hope for better results so going for a 3-1 win for Livi .
FG 15minutes!!!

I think with the result of the SFA investigation we should turn up, play the match but pass everything to Cowdenbeath players & let them run up a world record win.

Sick to death of the SFA & the SPFL they couldn't run a bath.

This game'll be off.
