The sticky patch

The Lions have hit a sticky patch and already there are those who say we were a one-man team and will not recover after losing David Fernandez to Celts. I totally disagree.

Livi are still a very young team and can expect to experience ups and downs throughout the season, as can just about any side in the SPL.

People may start blaming the manager and coaching staff for our slow start, but this is definitely not the case.

Jim, Davie and Robbo all give 100% to the cause and I'm sure that soon enough they will have the Lions firing on all cylinders again. The Uefa Cup proper beckons, and here's hoping we make it.

The players know there is a healthy squad at Almondvale - even more so now that the pre-season additions are starting to find their feet.

The fans back the team and roar them on, and I reckon it won't be long until Livi get back to winning ways.
