Yabba's Turd Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 New surface at Rugby Park doesn't suit us. Hopeful of a few players back and a fitter Ojamaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Jules Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I can't make a lot of the games now due to work but i'm planning on travelling to this one. If i'm honest i've got the fear about it, things are just looking really grim at the moment but i'll try and stay positive and go for a 2-1 victory cause there is absolutely no danger of us keeping a clean sheet.

milo Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'd have the players on double training sessions after the keech served up yesterday and changes need to be made wherever possible. Any news on Hammell, Angol and Ramsden? Is Ainsworth injured? There's certainly something up with him! The boy Ferguson absolutely cannot play there again. Reid will have to fill in at right back (if Hammell and Angol are still out) with Kerr at right and maybe O'Brien with McManus at centre half? Kerr certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped. In the middle Carswell or Lasley need to make way for Leitch. I think we'll see Vigurs come in if he's fit again. Ainsworth and Law deserve to be dropped but one of them will probably have to play. We should go with Ojamaa and Erwin up front. Who knows what McCall will go with though? I'd take a point in a score draw to stop the rot and some semblance of deliberateness and game plan please.

DEWELL Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 We struggle there when we've been playing well in the past so there's no way im expecting a win or a draw even. It's another defeat 3-1. <_ . just hope our injuries start to clear up.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambunctious Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Fuck knows what team we'll put out. There's a good few that could be doing with getting dropped but unfortunately that can't happen. Twardzik Reid O'Brien McManus Kerr Ainsworth Lasley Carswell Vigurs Erwin Ojamaa Hopefully it's something along those lines. The actual team selection won't bother me too much just as long as we go with a straight up 442. I reckon Ferguson would fare better if he had Vigurs playing in front of him, but on the assumption that this O'Brien is fit (and good) I wouldn't mind him coming in. Lasley to get the nod ahead of Leitch purely because of his experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmacd1 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Would like to see us try something like this... Twardzik Kerr McManus O`Brien Carswell Reid Law. Leitch. Viguirs Ojamma. Erwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin we just couldn't play that system - Vigurs at left wing back, are you having a laugh? you need a team full of players who are very comfortable on the ball and who know what each other are going to do - that is not us i'm curious as to why you think this would work well??

weeyin Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 We've been keeping the injuries very hush-hush. First of all, because we obviously don't want other teams to be aware who is carrying and knock. Secondly, as McCall has said himself, because he doesn't want to use them as an excuse for poor performances. I understand the reasoning, but it makes it a lottery trying to pick a lineup or a result for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think he did say after the Inverness game that he doesn't expect anyone else to be back. A couple of weeks I think he said before Hammell/Ramsden/ZFA will be training again. I reckon it'll be the same squad as Saturday but with Ojamaa, O'Brien, Vigurs and Lawson hopefully that wee bit fitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I reckon he (and the others) have just been rotten, simple as that. Ainsworth went from fucking unplayable to fucking unpick-able at times last year. If not, hopefully with us not having a midweek game anyone who is carrying a knock will be fine for Saturday. We could really do with a win, even if it's just to calm the panty-wetters on here down.

We couldn't play a different system on Saturday either. Vigurs is worth a start. I'd rather him than Ainsworth in a starting 11. 2. simply saying it is not us is not a reason to try different systems. Lots of teams try different systems. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It certainly is not working at present. 3. My reason for suggesting it is Kerr and McManus were in my opinion the only positives from the start of the season. adding O'Brien who on the face of it should be half decent at SPL level would at least allow us to have added protection at the back and give the wider players some freedom to move forward knowing that there is sufficient cover. Granted we may not have the best options down the left till Hammell or ZFA come back but that phiosophy didn't stop LVG playing Ashley Young in the same position. The purpose of a wing back is mainly to try and support the already existing defence and holding midfielder and attacking players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Wellfan 2k7 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I hope McCall has the players training at either Ravenscraig or Toryglen for this one! The plastic pitch has been our downfall in recent times and we need to overcome this if we are to compete! Think if we can adapt to the surface, we should be able to take the points here! Kilmarnock are yet again unimpressive on paper, and I doubt this will change on the pitch. Assuming Ojamaa and Obrien are both ready to feature at some point, we should be covered well from the whole match! Think we will stick the same team out as Saturday, as this is McCalls way of doing things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Last time I was down at Rugby Park it was 0-0 where did fuck all but hang on to a clean sheet but I'm planning to head down for this one. It's disappointing if true that none of the injured players will be ready to come back in for this one, for some reason I thought we had a free weekend coming up which we could have done with, but apparently not. We have Celtic coming up at Parkhead soon so I think we really need to start picking up points or we could find ourselves stuck in the bottom six as other teams are likely to go through the 10 point barrier in the next 2 to 3 weeks. We should be looking for at 6 points out the next 9 before we roll up to Celtic Park. If we fail to get a decent points tally together before then it could set the tone for the season.

StipeIsGod Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm not even going to try and predict this. I'm going to ignore it completely, enjoy my Saturday and then lose the nut at the result. (Or potentially celebrate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at a stag do, so probably won't get the opportunity to see the score until Sunday. But I will try and predict. I'm hoping for the best but expect 1 - 0 Killie or 2 - 1 Killie unfortunately.
