douglas clark Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Anyone got an opinion how difficult Livingston might be as opponents? Apparently they are a very physical team and work their socks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hang on, your can't start a match thread with your own name as the title. Admin! PS I think they'll be very tough; but reckon we have better players and will win if we play as we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcapmilkdrinker Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I think as long as we play Douglas Clark on our own terms and don’t respect Douglas Clark too much we should be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael m Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Is Douglas Clark a new team? An amalgam of car Giants Douglas Park and Arnold Clark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I see what you did there. Create thread for Livi game so we can all discuss tactics and strengths and weaknesses of Jags but in a way that the Livi manager will not find it when browsing the forum to get any ideas. Genius. Speaking to some people I know who have seen a bit of them this season they sound exactly like the kind of team we might have problems with ie organised, high tempo and physical. It’s imperative we avoid hoofball and sitting off them. Get the ball on the deck and attempt a quick passing game through them could be the key. Take confidence that Dundee Utd scored 3 against them over 2 legs and they are no great shakes. C’mon the Jags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 They will be totally Douglas Clark. Hard working, jumping in to tackles and hounding the ball. That sounds ominous. But, we have players who can exploit the spaces left by a team doing that. We certainly need those players to do the business, but if we can get the likes of Lawless, Erskine and Doolan on the ball we can make this happen.

potty trained Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 The mother in laws a St Mirren fan. Watched all our live games and has seen Livi 4 times this season. Walked into our house this morning to proclaim "im gutted you's are playing Livi, you'd have ripped Dundee United apart. Just pray they don't take a couple off you on Thursday night, because if they do, you'll never break them down on Sunday. They've got two giants at centre half and nothing gets past them, Lithgow has been one of the best players in the division."

"Aye cheers Liz, on that positive note, i'm away to work" Declan Gallagher will be the other giant. They've also got another defender, yon lad Craig Halkett we were reportedly interested in. Plus a vastly experienced goalie in Neil Alexander. My mother in law is an Aleister Crowley fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglas clark Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Thanks, Quite frankly I didn't know you all cared! What will amuse y'all more is I have no idea how to correct the mistake! I hope we win over the two legs and I'll be there for both of them. Could I encourage you all to come along too on the basis of outing me?

Paolo Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Just hope we don't go out with the mindset let's just get a 1_0 and get them to Firhill,. We should go all out to try and get as many goals in the first leg hopefully, hope we take a comfortable lead to Firhill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we believe we are a better team than Livingston, and I think we have to, then it's better to play them over two games than one. A longer game reduces the random element and helps to ensure that the better team emerges. So don't waste a minute in proving it. And if we are not the better then we are not worthy of our premier place anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think my feeling is that we're the better team, and we can pass it through them with the correct players on the pitch. Most of our good football comes when Doolan, Erskine and Lawless are linking up. Any news on fitness? I'd really like to see Christie Elliot not playing left back.

"Aye cheers Liz, on that positive note, i'm away to work" To counterbalance : Livingston have won 4 of their last 12 games ( Morton, Brechin, Dumbarton, DU ). ETA : changed to add the DU win - but that apart their end to the season was surprisingly mediocre.
