Lobey_Dosser Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Killie appear to be toiling so hopefully we can capitalise. However, with Moult missing, Skippy looking like he is carrying a knock and Pearson yet to be replaced, I'm not overly confident. A lot will depend on Marvin and Cadden replicating their League Cup form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgey Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Skippy is carrying a knock? Â Has that been reported somewhere and I've missed it or was he jaded yesterday? Â Either way, hope it's not too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Skippy is carrying a knock? Â Has that been reported somewhere and I've missed it or was he jaded yesterday? Â Either way, hope it's not too serious. He's been carrying the knock since last week. Is why he sat out the Annan game with Moult starting in his place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I won't make this I don't think. Â Going on holiday the week after so I doubt I will have any spare cash floating about. Think we should win, but I hate plastic parks. We never do well on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 4 Europe Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Have we not won our last 3 games on plastic pitches? Â Kiilie, Accies last season and Annan last week unless I'm forgetting something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've always thought Killie's pitch plays a lot better than Accies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onthefringes Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've always thought Killie's pitch plays a lot better than Accies. Â Different sub structure, deeper pile on top enables rugby to be played on that type of surface... almost identical to what's available at Dalziel Park. Expecting no excuses.

underboyleheating Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Killie are going through another bad spell and hopefully we can ramp up the pressure on Saturday. 2-0 Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yassin Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Don't we always win the first league match of the season, one nil?I was looking into this the other day.

capt_oats Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 No reason why we can't go there and win. Would be interesting to see what happens if we start taking some of the early chances we seem to be creating. Â The team seems to pick itself at the moment and unlike last season where there was an influx of players McGhee seems to have settled on a wide 433 that should, in theory, get the best out of the players he has at his disposal. It may just be me but there seems to be less of a square pegs in round holes feel to the starting XI. Â Question for me is really how the defence holds up and whether we can get a winger close enough to McDonald to play as a 2nd striker so he's not completely isolated. Â I'd have thought we'd be looking at: Â Samson Tait Heneghan McManus Hammell Cadden Lasley McHugh Ainsworth McDonald Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yip would go with that seems to be the likely starting 11 my worry is not much on bench if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukemfc1 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Looking forward to the season starting back properly. Hopeful we can bring a good crowd through to Kilmarnock with it being the first game back. From what I've heard in the media Killie have been terrible for the most part during the cup games. 11 new players, oldest at 22 year old and apparently a lot of arguments going on behind the scenes resulting in rumours of Lee Clark quiting. I think they were very very lucky to stay up last year and I think this year might be the year they finally go down. Team picks itself I would suggest;  Samson Tait Heneghan McManus Hammell Ainsworth Cadden Lasley McHugh Johnson McDonald  I'm hopeful of a comfortable win, not seen every league cup game but from what I have seen I think we look a lot stronger than some in the stands are suggesting. Football isn't player on paper but even with Moult missing I think the above team looks as strong if not stronger than the team last year. Tait and Heneghan look to be improvements on what we had last year, Cadden is growing stronger game by game and Johnson seems to be hitting form. McHugh also seems to be a worthy replacement for Pearson. Fingers crossed I'm actually pretty optimistic about the season ahead, I think if we could push for one more to come in for midfield and we hold on to Johnson it could be a good season.
