Ryan McGowan insists Livingston can replicate their attacking Championship form in the top flight.
David Martindale's men start life back in the Premiership against Kilmarnock on Saturday and defender McGowan thinks opposition fans might be surprised by Livi's style this season.
"The gaffer said it publicly before, sometimes when you're in the top flight it's just more survival and worrying about what other teams are going to do to you instead of possibly what you can do to hurt them and get points," said McGowan.
"That's what we did as a club last season. It was kind of a reset and we controlled most of the ball. We played pretty good football for probably 90% of the season last year and that's something we want to take into this season.
"If you've watched our cup games so far, it will probably be a little bit of a different Livingston to what was in the Premiership in years gone by.
"It's up to us as players to really put to work what we're doing during the week into games and hopefully that gets us points and gets us up the league.
"We play a different kind of style from the team that got relegated a couple of seasons ago, but it's one that we believe we will be successful with and fingers crossed that happens."
