Quietly confident hear, Kilmarnock haven’t been great away and after a sore pumping by livi and our confidence raised by beating hibs I fancy us to take something here. Then again that’s our first win in 10 but county have this amazing ability to win a game and make me optimistic enough to want to look out my passport for our Thursday night europa league qualifier in June out in some absolute den in Belarus. But then next Saturday follows so what can you do As they say with county though, if you can’t support us when we lose, don’t support us when we draw

Frimpong ran a mock last time against our full backs, I’ll take anything less than 4-0 loss

We also paid a decent fee for Inih Effiong, I like to remind people of that sometimes

Might as well play for goal difference here, take a 3-0 doing and let’s move on with the rest of our lives

I actually thought Fraser had a decent game, Jelly wasn’t bad yesterday and this season he’s actually been decent but he’s still not top flight quality imo. Fontaine finished. Baxter seemed okay but that’s about it

Very similar to what livi did when promoted, they kept a largely unchanged team and rode the momentum first few months then dropped off. County are no different. Fontaine is finished, a nice guy but even at championship level he wasn’t convincing. We praise Watson and Morris as our CBs but in honesty they are made to look better than they are because of Fonts. I’d want 2 new CBs in Jan ideally. (Grivo has the potential to be a quality starter every week) Foster has been our best signing yet Kelly is picked over him?? Kelly wasn’t bad yesterday but hibs and Hamilton away showed that foster is our best full back by a mile. Fraser was actually good yesterday too. Spence for me offers little than side ways passes. Against top 4 teams when he has to work hard off the call he’s good but against teams like st Mirren Hamilton etc we need more cutting edge and creativity in there, Chalmers should be ahead imo.

0-0

If Fontaine starts I will either riot or tweet my displeasure

Have to disagree, usually only get to away games now but he’s been very good in a lot of those (Aberdeen away aside). A lot of people have said the last Aberdeen home game Laidlaw was useless but watching the goals on the highlights there’s nothing really he could of done for any. First free kick the wall spilts. The 2nd is an awkward cross with graham completely missing it. 3rd is top bins and even Neuer isn’t saving that. Our defence is our main problem 100%

Didn’t think he was too bad few decent touches and moves first half but clearly off the pace a bit

Feels like we always struggle down here when there’s a chance to create a safe gap in points. Hamilton seem better recently than the opening day?... Would like to see us go with a 4-2-3-1 Laidlaw Fraser Watson Grivo Foster Draper Chalmers Hendo Midge Mullin Stewart

What’s he really suppose to do tonight? He deserved a chance to start against Hamilton after his hibs showing but not tonight because like I said earlier he’s not going to chase loose balls all night like McKay would. We had no midfield as jack ran a mock and Alfredo Morelos made a young and inexperienced CB in Grivo and a finished at top flight level Fontaine look like his bitches. Rangers and Celtic are streets ahead of everyone and we shouldn’t judge our players off tonight. Would of liked a bit more fight from us yes but these games won’t define our season. Hamilton at the weekend will

Graham won’t chase the ball for long enough for him to be effective so McKay should be up front with the option to throw graham on later. Grivo I’m a big fan off and think he should start every week but to throw him in deep after not starting as a first game back up against a well experienced and top top striker in Defoe or a unbelievably talented Morelos won’t be that effective especially if we are scudded and he’s dropped for weeks or confidence goes down, would have Watson and Morris/ Fonts (yes fonts is a bombscare though) Power won’t start I’d have Stewart and would have hendo over midge in the middle with chalmers and draper. Midge will need to be good defensively tonight if he’s to start out wide

Not that Brian doesn’t deserve the chance, but he isn’t going to chase down lose balls for long, especially with rangers preferred method of playing out from the back. Billy will be more useful. Keep it tight and bring graham and Stewart on late on and try get something from a set play

Funny how us fans can have completely opposite opinions, personally felt foster was our best player (before graham came on) and Henderson 2nd best. Would like to see Forster staring at wing back again though and a midfield 3 of draper Henderson and Chalmers going forwards

Would be confident of a point here if our defence cuts out silly errors. Hope Grivo gets a start

Aye frimpong looked a class above. When we’ve conceded 6 goals but only one yellow card looks as if we chucked the towel in without a battle

I don’t like the colts being involved but disagree about the foreign teams, always good going somewhere knew, chance for an away trip manu of us won’t ever get without European football. County aren’t even in it and I’m interest to see who’s representing Scotland away. Would love to see it expanded to a british cup. Have a feeling Wrexham will win it this year

Fans don’t set prices tbf, every supporter from every club should be waving the 20s plenty flag at games

Marshall Kelly McGillivray Palmer O’Donnell Gallagher Cooper Lindsay Finlay Mckenna Robertson Tierney McGinn McTominay Fleck McGregor Armstrong Gilmour Fraser Forrest Christie Burke Shankland Martin McBurnie (Griffiths if back)

£32 to watch a joe chalmers masterclass almost seems like a bargain when you consider the poor souls of Germany need to pay £20 to watch lewandowski

Our defence picks itself really Laidlaw Fraser Watson Grivo Foster Midfields up for debate, hopefully draper is back fit other wise if have charmers Henderson, Vigurs. Would like to see mullin & midge wise with Stewart the line striker, I know he’s done well recently out wide himself but he’ll win so many headers from crosses in the box from quality delivery

Too much sense in this post for this forum

I’d prefer if draper was in CDM instead of Grivo, Grivo is a good promising CB so we shouldn’t tinker with that imo. Sure he looked decent there in a 1 off game but McManus looked really good out wide for 1 game vs Motherwell and we all know how that played out after playing him wide on numerous occasions afterwards

Henderson is a quality signing but I wish we seen a new CB come in. Watson is decent but Fontaine is a bomb scare especially at this level. Not convinced by Morris yet not seen enough and Grivo has potential.
