it would be a huge three points and, through gritted teeth,  a draw would also be a good result

Had Hibs lost last night, a point wouldn't have been good, but acceptable. However Hibs salvaged a draw in injury time so the only good result for us is to win. I can accept a shitfest so long as we head up the road with 3 points

[RUL]

Heavy snow forecast I believe. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Yyyaaaassss.  Result.

edit: as long as it doesn’t kick start the riveting discussion about their undersoil heating again.

Loser mentality. 
It’s Livingston regardless of the run they’re on. .

I like that attitude. It's a big game for us.

FFS don't let McInnes see that - it'll be sitting back and game management from the off

Disagree. It would be a good result for them.

Seen livis form?

I have, but we're also the team in third, and they're not going to win every game from now until the end of the season. Despite how horrible we are to watch, we're still a very hard team to beat.

[Guest]

Jesus Christ. 
 

McInnesism has really rotted the minds of some folk here. 
 

It's fucking Livingston. A draw? 
 

Should be a win, regardless of their form. Derek has the luxury to spend more on players than Livi, Dundee United, Motherwell etc. No doubt these are tricky venues to visit but it should almost always result in an AFC win. 
 

Come away with thinking another draw is a good result. 

[Dons79]

Monotony has really set in if a draw is deemed a good result!

hibs even got a point at park head regardless of them trying to fling the league away,we probably won’t or wouldn’t get anything at park head so a point gained by hibs, there also strengthening there squad for a push for third, we are getting rid of our better players and clearly somethings not right at boardroom level(management). Don’t want to give Livingston encouragement to catch us either, dispose of them or a feel it could bite us come the end of the season.

Fuck me Jonah strikes again

Pray that the frost (already heavy in Fife) and the forecast snow get the game called off

You'd imagine they've done something with regards to frost? Our only hope is the snow but believe it may fall as sleet.

I've fairly started something with this one.

To elaborate a wee bit I'm more meaning I wouldn't throw away a point with gung ho tactics in the last few minutes.

Which is what I would do regularly against the dross if I was in charge. I certainly would have the keeper up quite often as opposed to McInnes once in 8 years.

It was a frozen pitch that postponed it last time....the snow had all been cleared off. If they couldnt get it playable in daylight hours (it was sunny but freezing)......I'm not sure how they're going to guarantee they can do so again whwn forecast temperatures down here are pretty much at 0C all day, and with a dump of snow due to hit in the afternoon 

[starryfish]

Amber weather alert forecast so not looking too promising

Go back to 4-2-3-1 and play Hayes and Kennedy right up the pitch. Wasted at wing back.

Nah the back 3 with wing backs worked quite well about 2 games earlier in the season so we need to stick with it forever

[fine-n-dandy]

Tonight’s winners will be the team that finishes highest of us, Livi n Hibs in my humble opinion, so most likely result will be a draw ?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Bit of a bugger if youre Hibs in that equation.

as if we'd tolerate a 3 (or more) horse race where only 2 could ever win.

Oh.

If it’s a draw then it’s a good result for Hibs. 
Or did you ignore that option 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Em, what?

Edit:  Actually no, fair play.  Hibs could "win" I suppose by AFC and Livvie both drawing and from that psychological lift, despite the relative point-loss, go on to finish 3rd.

They won't though.

Aye? 16/1 Livi to finish 3rd min.

 

 

[sooth_stander]

Big test tonight versus a confident West Lothian side, but if we are as good as McInnes thinks we are,  we need to be returning home with all 3 points. 

The 2nd half on Sunday illustrated that we need to revert to 4-2-3-1 for this game, with Kennedy, Wright and Hayes tucked in behind Cosgrove and Logan restored to the side

[fine-n-dandy]

They aren’t as defensively solid as they were but we have failed to get many goals v some VERY leaky defences.

Genuinely not that unrealistic (actually favourites on current form & top of table on form on gd over huns since new manager) if they beat us tonight & that form continues they will have a very good shout for bettering both us & Hibs.
