Lochwood Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 No complaints Better team won, gave them far too much respect and allowed them to dominate us, McKenzie and Hewitt way out there depth and should have been changed at half time, boy O’Connor looks promising Afelobi looks like a big raw boy. If they are the favourites to go up then there’s hope for all the league and looking to a 38 year old In Burke to carry them through I don’t think so. There’s gonna be a lot of sad people in Kilmarnock come the end of the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that Saturday showed that their opposition all have hilariously bad defences. Maybe they won't all treat Burke like the reincarnation of Maradona but they can all be gotten at, and they'll all drop points. Except to Ayr and hoofball to nobody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 We were second best by a long way tonight. Not much else to be said. O'Connor looked promising in his cameo but won't fit the hoppyball mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirepud Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Kilmarnock deserved to win but Ayr didn't land a punch all night as Hopkin set up to shitfest and it didn't work. They only made an effort to attack when they went a goal behind. The penalty decision was a shocker as it was nowhere near an arm and is particularly poor when you consider the one Ayr didn't get in the first half. Had he not given it Ayr still had a chance to nick something but it would have been undeserved. If Ayr are to do anything this season then Hopkin needs to grow a pair and ditch this shitfesting style against teams who are beatable if you have a go at them. Away for another beer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Honestly fuming with that performance, and summed up every worry about Hopkin. Inability to pick the right team, inability to change the blatantly obvious, completely shitebagging the game and the constant punting it. We made them look several levels better than us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Killie were the better team, but lads like Albinson and O'Connor look promising, and I think Afolabi will be good once he's melded into the team. Not end of the world stuff here lads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the extent is very short considering that the squad is 100% his fault. Obviously he didn't feel that the various benched players were capable of seeing the game out and would be better coming on late to edge things out. It's still inexcusable that the game plan until that point was just to keep punting it up the park and hoping that the defence put up with a cross into the six yard box every 30 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrExile Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 27 minutes ago, Thumper said: Ayr played like they were managed by Steve Clarke. Treating mediocre relegated opposition whose best player is Moffat's age like they were Man City. Like Steve Clarke he showed loyalty to the players who won the group. Better players sitting on the bench and instead of taking a gamble will uncover this over the next few games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s gonna be a lot of sad people in Kilmarnock come the end of the season. Yes, completely agree. I think our approach made Kilmarnock look better than they actually are, but there is no doubt they deserved to win. The poor penalty decision has just allowed Hopkin to deflect attention from our own deficiencies (no matter how frustrating that decision was). I think if we'd actually gone in 1-0 down in the first half it may have helped us because Hopkin would have had to change it sooner. I doubt we'll start a game with that team again this season. If we play like that against any team at Somerset then the fans will be on Hopkin's back very, very quickly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Thought the defence did fine for the most part, but not bringing on Maxwell to double up on the left hand side was criminal. The only positive for me is that pretty much every player on the bench could/should be starting the game, we’ve still to see McAllister and we seem to still be looking for another forward. Our first 11 could look very different in the coming weeks. I’m just not convinced Hopkin knows how to play football. Tonight was just more of the kick and rush pish from last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye the Gnu Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 O'Connor certainly looks promising and could have made a difference if on from the start. Totally toothless up front until he came on. You were well and truly gubbed tonight but I honestly hope you have a decent season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not end of the world stuff here lads. It wouldn't be if you had a manager who would learn from mistakes. We played like this when he first took over up until the Edinburgh City game. No possession, depend on defending well, treat the ball like a hot potato and fire it as hard as you can in whatever direction you are facing. Eye bleeding football. From the Edinburgh City game up until kick-off tonight we have controlled possession, managed games and been good to watch. All flung to f**k tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North British Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 First of all Killie won the game , fair play to them , they were the more assertive side . Hopkin gave the side that beat Hamilton their chance , are they our best eleven . No of course not , McKenzie gave little protection to Reading Hewitt and Murdock struggled in central midfield . The three boys who arrived this week need to bed in . Our defence and keeper options are decent . I think we’ll be fine this season . Killie away on paper is our hardest fixture of the season , them being favourites with the bookies and media darlings . We’ll see them at our place in October on a football pitch , with our crowd in and hopefully a ref that isn’t onboard with the media narratives . On the rest of the campaign Saturday is a game we need to be winning . We have the players to do that . Rest of the first quarter we have QoS and Morton at home , important games . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Disappointed in the result but killie were not levels above us on another day we could have had at least a point, Saturday we need to put a marker down, we have a squad that should be well good enough to be safe if not pushing for top 5 let's hope Hopkin can do what he promises 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke tonight was arguably as good as he's been in years. Edited August 2, 2021 by Thumper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
