I'd imagine on top of the four mentioned, Beanie will be suspended too?
Chance for Mullen to start, get more game time and hopefully grab another goal.
Was a cracking game there last time - 4-3 I think? Just remember Morton scoring a screamer before we nearly chucked away a 4-1 lead.
Plenty goals and three points tomorrow would be nice again!
COLTS!

Lions must go in for kill, says Burke
RICHIE BURKE wants his
Livingston side to become
better at finishing off opponents after slipping from winning positions twice in a week.
The Lions are on course for their best league finish in over ten years, but have drawn 2-2 with Dunfermline and lost 2-1 to Falkirk in the last seven days.
Ahead of their trip to play relegation-threatened Dumbarton tomorrow, Burke said: “We do need to be better at killing games off. Not necessarily with goals, but with retaining the ball.
“We need to make sure we’re possessing it and making the
opponent chase it, as well as getting a little bit bigger and making them defend their area.”

Solid win today. How big Lister wasn't booked I'll never know - was late/left a boot in with every challenge and didn't get a word from the ref.
Strange looking line-up. Appeared to be a 3-1-4-2 with Mango, Watson and JCAGTL forming a back three, Bobo shielding infront, Booth and McCann on the flanks with Kyle and Talbot in the middle and unbelievably, Fox upfront with Lander?
I thought Talbot might have been better suited as the man with Lander but they maybe wanted his dig in the middle. Fox tried to harry and was actually unlucky not to grab a goal but I don't see him making a name for himself as a number 9!
Lander impressed. Chased down well, can oviously hold a ball up, has a bit of pace and took his goal excellently - another bright prospect. That was backed up with Mullen replacing him then notching too - excellent.
Dumbarton were by no means a walkover, they caused us bother and hit the bar but we soaked up most of the pressure - Andy made 2 decent saves of note. Clean sheets have been few and far between this season so good to pick one up today.
Wonder if we'll stick with the same line-up on Tues if others are back fit? Lander and Mullen both scored so hard to justify benching them for Beanie to come back in.
Good day at the office. Keeps up right in pole position to grab third place. On to Central Park - COLTS!

Foxy was out man of the match! I never thought I'd see the day when he was playing up front. Never stopped running all day and was clever in his movement and use of the ball. Theres life in the old dog yet. No offence, Foxy! ;D

Dont think fox was quite motm but he certainly couldnt be faulted for effort. Gave his all up there.
Big 3 points to keep up with falkirk. The lad lander looks handy - id start with him on Tuesday again. Was excellent and took his goal really well. Good shift from talbot in midfield too - its surprising how well he gets up for headers for a smaller guy.
Good to get back to winning ways.

Dumbarton 0 Livingston 3
MARK BURCHILL has vowed to kick-start the production line which churned out Graham Dorrans, Robert Snodgrass and Leigh Griffiths.
The new Livingston No 2 was impressed by the current crop of Almondvale kids for fame as they cruised to victory at Dumbarton.
A debut goal from teenager Kyle Lander along with Paul Watson and Danny Mullen strikes wrapped up the points. And Burchill beamed: “We had three 17-year-olds and a 19-year-old playing and two of those were debuts.
“I have to make a special mention of young Lander who scored on his debut, which is fantastic.
“One of the big things about us at Livi is we are really going to push the youth side of things now.
“We want to get back to producing players like Dorrans, Snoddy and Griffiths.
“That’s going to be a big part of what the gaffer Richie Burke and I do at this club.
“Dumbarton are a good team and they have come on leaps and bounds under Ian Murray. We did not play our best football, but it was a professional performance.”

The performance yesterday was really satisfying!
I must admit I'd never heard of Kyle Lander before but the wee man played a blinder and with a wee bit more composure could have had another couple.
Mullen again looked sharp and keen when he came on and Liam Fox was immense up top.
We really dominated Dumbarton and apart from one shot that clipped the top of the bar on it's way over I don't think they really troubled us.
Well done lads!
COLTS!
