Fuctifano Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The opening day win vs ICT and the reasonably comfortable progress through the LC group stage that preceded it already seems a long time ago, albeit we’ve been on the end of a pretty tough league schedule. Saturday’s performance was still diabolical though and a similar performance coupled with a defeat here might start setting a few panic alarms going. On the plus side, we went to Killie last time on the back of a dreadful performance resulting in a shafting off ICT and with Scully in goals and managed to win, so a repeat of that would be nice, though some players will need to turn up for the first time this season.

Dindeleux Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 For us the opposite is true, we are gradually starting to see an improvement in performances.The positive for me this season has been the teams character as we don't let the heads drop as easily as the two previous campaigns. Still got no idea where we will finish the season right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Must win for Killie this one. The performances have been steadily improving since our disastrous league cup campaign, now we need to build on two decent draws with a win. 3-1 to Kilmarnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Sheridan Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Must win for both teams. A furiously contested 1-1 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennysmassiveego Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 At this phase of the season previously optimism had usually evaporated , but I'm reasonably happy with the progress we've made under LC . Scrappy 2 v 1 win with Souly scoring his usual beauty ....it's the Souly way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I don't have a list of head-to-head results to confirm, and thus could be talking utter shite, but since we've come back up its felt like Killie have gotten the better of us in the early league meetings between the sides, before we start to win the later fixtures. Or to put it in more general terms, we start seasons badly and get better, whilst Killie start alright and get worse. Pretty big game for us really, after 4 defeats on the bounce, and I have no faith in us to get anything here either after Saturday's shit-show.

It does seem that way, but they royally humped us in our last home game of the 2014/15 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieCon Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 If I remember correctly Thistle were in holiday mode in that game. No idea how this one will play out. Fairly happy with the recent progress we have been making. I see we have made another signing today, Nathan Tyson. No idea who he is, I'm assuming he's a right back.

Seem to remember that name at Derby County, sure enough according to Wikipedia. 34 year old forward, with no experience....*as yet*....of playing at right back.

A 3-0 defeat at Rugby Park two seasons ago springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 We've won our last two games at Rugby Park with ease. It's Firhill where we've struggled against them. Three points on Saturday please. Nothing else will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Personally a bit worried, we've played Killie at RP 6 times since promotion, I've been to 4 of them, 3 wins and a draw. 2 I haven't gone to have been 2 defeats. Can't go on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskychimp Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Anyone want to hazard a guess at LC's team for this one? The randomness baffles me sometimes and I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of changes and possibly Tyson Fury being thrown in for Boyd.

killienick Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Coulibaly to score direct from a goal kick, (which he also takes). We're due a result at home against Partick - 2-0 Killie. 21 minutes ago, whiskychimp said: Anyone want to hazard a guess at LC's team for this one?

Jordan Jones was MOTM against Hamilton and hasn't started since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiepiemuncher Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 He's got so many superstars he has to rotate a lot to keep them all happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've yet to see us win this season - missed all the League Cup matches and the Inverness CT league opener, but went to Aberdeen and home matches vs. Hearts and St. Johnstone. I'm going on Saturday. In terms of team selection: three changes for me. I think Lawless has been poor so far and would replace him with Amoo. I'd also have Edwards starting instead of Azeez, and Barton in for Welsh. It's probably wishful thinking but Cerny being fit enough to start would be amazing. Cerny Gordon - Devine - Lindsay - Booth Osman - Barton Amoo - Edwards - Erskine Doolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yet to be convinced by Edwards. I tend to file him alongside Div Wilson in the 'What is he?' category. The only changes I would make to Slackers' selection would be to swap Edwards and Erskine and replace the former with Lawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones should definitely be playing against Thistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
