I'd maybe swap Swanson for Barker (who I thought was excellent in the first half today) but otherwise agree with that.

I don't know if Rocky deserves to be dropped. Dropping a keeper after one poor performance isn't going to help his confidence. Would be surprised to see a change of keeper, but imagine a couple of changes elsewhere, with Stevenson coming in for Whittaker for one.

can't believe some people are give big Davy stick...he has played about 45 minutes of football in total...he needs minutes to have a fair chance. There are other more regular players who have had far worse contributions today than him as a sub....

The goalie looks overweight compared to last year (for example) and his form seems to have dipped notably...

Davy got 25 minutes today.

If he wants to get any more minutes, he needs to show a lot more than he did today to suggest that he deserves it. For me, he doesn't look like he fits into the way we play and hasn't looked like he's up to the standard required. Harsh, as he's not had much of a chance, but that's the way I see it.

Marciano (needs a chance to bounce back quickly from his bad game today).

It's a cup quarter final, we badly want to win this game and get to the latter stages of competitions.

3 experienced defenders should help keep Porteous right, but if he/ they all play well, the jerseys are theirs for next week.

If the game is as good as won early, Davy might get 20 minutes or so to show what he can do. But I've not seen anything yet that suggests he's good enough to play for us and think we need to consider who we start with, still leaving us with attacking players who can come off the bench and make an impact (maybe playing Swanson in one of the advanced positions allowing us to keep Boyle or Murray to use off the bench).

I agree today he did nothing to warrant a start in the next game ...but for him to get stick on here, compared to the regulars who were more at fault today is poor chat from some on here...

Big Dave came on when the team appeared to be falling to bits and sitting deeper and deeper and he was upfront and having to face hurried and panicked clearances. So I won't be too hard on him there. I have watched the first half again and Barker got into a number of crossing positions but no real options in the box. I wonder how Dave would done then and if we plan to play two wingers we need a presence in the box and maybe he would be more suited to that than what he face yesterday late on.

Even if Marciano had played a blinder on Saturday it was probable that Laidlaw would be in goals for this game, to give him some first team action.

I'd like to see Swanston get a run and also Big Davey get a start.

It will be a chance for him to show what he can do..

Coming on when he did on Saturday was a no win situation for him as we were self destructing at that point.

Against lower division opposition he will be expected to show something and hopefully boost his confidence.....at least that's how the theory goes.

I think irrespective of Saturday's result, we could have expected a few changes for the Livi game....just means that opportunities beckon...

Strong team, Good performance, clean sheet and a few goals to see us into the semi-final of 1 of the 2 competitions we have a chance of winning this season will cheer everybody up (hopefully)

If Rocky had played a blinder on Saturday he would almost certainly have been replaced by Laidlaw for this game, because he didn't I think Lennon would be mental to drop him, keepers like strikers live and die by their confidence and the worst thing to do to Marciano here would be to leave him out ... don't get me wrong, any more performances like Saturday and he will be dropped because that wasn't good enough and Laidlaw has proved that he is a more than able replacement.

What is a pity is the clear loss of confidence in Swanson, half the posters picking teams haven't included him, including me and I wouldn't be surprised if that's because some folk have practically forgotten him he seems so far out of the picture at the moment .... crazy when you look at what a good season he had last year.

Marciano

Gray
Hanlon
Porteous ....... as the only back up to Hanlon and Ambrose I wouldn't be surprised to see him start, he needs a chance to prove he can cope under real pressure.
Stevenson ..... By now even Neil Lennon has to admit that Whittaker isn't cutting it at LB and its time to get Lewis up and running again.

McGinn
Slivka ...... Its time this guy was given a start
McGeouch ..... Needs a start as well and can play deep to give McGinn a chance to push further forward where IMO he is far more effective
Boyle

Stokes ..... IMO Lennon wont leave him out unless he is injured
Murray ..... Under normal circumstances I think he would be dropped to give big Dave a chance, but he needs a goal to stop his mini drought and for that reason I think he will at least start the game.

Having said all that it could be that we end up playing what Lennon sees as our strongest team, there is a pile of cash to be made if we make the semi finals and this is also one of only two chances we realistically have of winning anything.

For a normal game I would agree, Bartley has been fantastic this year - but the last couple of seasons we have seen over and over that he isn't as effective in games where teams sit in a lot more. I'd leave Bartley out of this one for that reason.

Boyle Mcginn McGeoch Slivka

I totally agree. The point I was making was we need an extra man in the middle when the opposing team have 3 in there. Whether that's Marv/SJM/Dylan or SJM/Dylan/Slivka, we just need a bit extra in there instead of 2 wingers + 2 strikers

As good s Bartley can be, we really shouldn't need a player like him against Livingston, he's an enforcer type and we'll be doing a lot of pressing tonight, which means we'll be on the front foot most of the game, hence we need more creativity. We can't go 3 at the back because we can't afford anymore injuries to any of our CH's, so it has to be a back 4.

Laidlaw ( purely to give him game time )

Gray
Porteous ( not done a lot wrong when called upon and deserves a start, good to see what he's like in a cup game )
Hanlon ( captain for tonight )
Stevenson ( proper LB and will stabilise the defensive shape )

Slivka ( deserves a start )
McGeouch ( Our best creative midfielder, has to start )
McGinn ( plays much better when Dylan plays )

Boyle
Stokes ( playing well right now and still needing game time, plus he scores )
Swanson ( needs a confidence boost, play him on the left just behind the strikers, where he played for St Johnstone )

I would be ok with that if we had been winning in the league, but I think Lennon will still try and finesse what he thinks is his best 11 - so dont think he will drop Whitty despite it being needed.

This is pretty much the team I would play. I'd start Rocky though, so that he doesn't lose confidence after his performance on Saturday. We need to find a way to get Dylan in the team every game (if he's fit) we normally play a lot better when he's on the park.

Top team out please. Livy will fancy this.

I don't think there is any danger of Neil Lennon putting out anything other than what he would consider to be his strongest side.
Livi will fancy it alright, but I have a feeling we are likewise going to be right up for this tonight, and will win without too much fuss.

Simon Murray

There's a temptation to rest Simon Murray but I'd probably persevere with him for this game as he seems to have a great record in this cup, he also is perhaps best against the weaker sides.

If we're going with a narrow midfield as suggested by quite a few, then I don't think Stevenson is the best option to give us attacking width.

I'm always a fan of the 4231 formation and would love to us use It but it would end up in losing a striker, unless stokes was played wide left. for example

For me if Barker plays then Dave should to get on the end of crosses. Surely that's what he was brought in for?

I'd go for this but definitely start with Boyle. Barker can be an impact sub.
