Dindeleux Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Fully respect what Killie are doing but come on now with this title challenge chat. 3rd place is anyone's though, would not surprise me in the least to see Kilmarnock up in that kind of position. We are dreaming but I would agree with you. Sevco are stronger than they’ve been and even though Celtic had a poor run they are firmly back on track now. I’m sure privately Clarke will be aiming for 3rd place with Hearts in freefall and Aberdeen/Hibs having poor seasons so far by their own standards. ETA - the only thing that makes me dream is that, compared to Aberdeen the last few seasons and Hibs last year who all looked to run it close, I believe we have the best manager in the division (or at least the very worst second best as you can’t really argue with back-to-back trebles despite the financial gap).

Poet of the Macabre Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I love Steve Clarke. 3rd is there for Killie with a couple of signings. Also, I went to a Motherwell-Hibs game that got abandoned a few years ago. Think it was a Friday night and there was a fire in the stand? Very bizarre.

Sure we were winning when it got abandoned. Lost the replay. Obviously. Fire in the floodlights I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadasdillinger Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 See now why Hibees were concerned. That was awful. As good as we were, Hibs played right in to our hands. We have the player who's second for successful dribbles this season- why the hell would you play a narrow back three against him?! Jones, like everyone in our team, was magnificent. He tortured the defence first half. Steven Whittaker is done at this level. Lennon tried changing shape and personnel second half to cope better. Worked to an extent, and gave them more on the front foot, but our midfield and defence were terrific. Love having Stewart and Brophy back. 6 minutes of partnership to produce a great goal. What a couple of players. Stewart in particular is just all class. Good to see Bachmann in the team, he's made a difference. 3 clean sheets in a row. The panic I felt when the floodies went out a second time was horrible. The thought of the match being abandoned and us not getting the 3 points for that was criminal. Thought the breaks favoured Hibs. The restart after the first they really came out stronger and battered us for 5. As the losing manager, getting the opportunity to talk to your players another couple of times is a huge help. Thought we were very professional though and saw the game out well. Was 3 going on 10. We've been due to scud someone and just delighted it was Hibs and Lennon who we didn't ever seem to get the better of. So buzzing for Wednesday now.

We were leading Motherwell 1-0 in pat fenlon' s first game in charge. Either O'Connor or Griffiths scored to put us up at half time and it got abandoned cause of a fire in the away end. I'm sure we lost the rematch 4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the better your current squad do the more chance we have of retaining Dom Zidane Thomas beyond January. Boys an absolute wizard. I really wouldn't worry too much. He's had a couple of chances to prove his worth to Clarke. He won't be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the only reason he'll play for us is if we get relegated. That's his level. We haven't let him go because we'd have to pay him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is Thomas would have been punted permanently if Clarke wanted him out. Our players' contracts are riddled with clauses to allow us to punt them for good and avoid paying them off.

deadasdillinger Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Having watched the game again and Sportscene, I think Rory put in an underrated performance. Quietly went about his business and fulfilled his role well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
