Andy_K_97 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 After the first post-break round of midweek madness comes the fixture formerly known as the meh derby on Saturday. After last night I'm seeing encouraging signs that Killie's form might just be improving after the Italian experiment was cut short mid-December. In any case I think this game has to be better than the fairly recent 0-0 draw in terms of entertainment. Since the Saintees seem to have improved slightly too I think this could be a bit of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocular Patdown Required Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The first of three winnable fixtures. Would take a 1-0 Killie, big Kabamba to continue his his scoring form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Must win match. Not in terms of we're relegated if we lose, but a case of "if we cant beat the worst team in the league (by 6 game form) in the league at home then where are we going to get wins?" type thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes I think this is a hugely important game as well, for both sides. We need to get a win under our belts to get confidence and to get points in the bag with a few tough fixtures coming up. As RG says, if. It at home to a struggling team, then where do the wins come from? For killie, a loss would see them right in the mix for the play off dogfight and all the pressure associated with that. Trying to drag another team down into it should be everyone's aim that's currently involved! Losing Davidson, if it's true, will be a big loss. Clark Ralston Gordon Kerr Booth Wright McCann Holt OHalloran Kennedy May Possibly get dominated in midfield with that. If the manager decides to stick with the 4-5-1 then bring in Craig, with Kennedy wide for Wright, and Kane as loan striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentino Bolognese Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Clark Ralston Kerr Gordon Booth Wright McCann Holt MOH Hendry May Bit more attacking than played out the 0-0 at the theatre of (in truth very average) pies, keeping the back 4 that's been fairly effective recently. Working assumption is that Matty won't play, who knows what's going on there. If he does play Kennedy on the left and MOH in behind May. Whatever, Michael needs to be on drills all week. If the feeling is that Power and Dicker would be a bit too much, Hendry on the bench and stick Craig in. I think we'll be OK though. Muzz is a miss but it really wasn't a terrible performance last night, team had good chances and a draw would have been fair. Would not be surprised to see Tommy start with a back 3 this time, seems like he's been working up to it. 1-0 Saints (Kennedy) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. 2-0 down after 20 minutes before he changes it. Game ends 2-1, we all wonder why he bothered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkillieaway Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Alan Power to ramp up his killing spree and finally destroy what is left of Stevie May's knee. Big game for both teams. We really need to get a win from somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair from the highlights I've seen the boy looks a handful, but our FB's (particularly Gordon) have been pretty solid since the end of November. Not having Davidson in the middle to help with breaking up play and winning balls in the air puts more pressure on Ali McCann's young shoulders. Holt can niggle with the best of them and has drive but he's no Muzz and at least half a foot shorter, and Craig reads the game well will but is slow, and his balls wide on Wednesday were awful. I'm not taking any comfort from the form stats which have Killie as the worst away team in the league (1 point from 6 games) and us 6th at home (9 from 6), this will be a tough game. Edited January 24, 2020 by Valentino Bolognese Just checked Google and if you believe that Holt is indeed 6 inches shorter, but apprently almost a stone heavier, so not sure how reliable that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Michael O'Halloran an injury doubt for tomorrow. If he misses out we'll only have 16 senior outfield players. To fill the bench we'll have to include two goalkeepers on it. Edited January 24, 2020 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, up until this week you could have played the game without ANY goalkeepers and still got at least a 0-0 draw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
