livivoice Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Appreciate we have the Celtic game to navigate first but I took in the Killie game today at Livi. Normally I dont give us much hope at Rugby Park but after today I think we will have a real chance. Bottom line is that Killie today were really poor. This was mostly down to a number of first team players out leaving them down to the bare bones. They actually had little option but to bring on from the bench the already injured O`Donnell and Burke. Team had little threat up front albeit Brophy tried his best. Jones played as though he had his move to Rangers on his mind. Other than Mulumbu Killie were pretty impotent in midfield. This was largely explained by the absence of Power and Dicker. In defence they were forced to play some reserves. In a match which Livi could have won by more I left the ground with the feeling that Killie`s exertions of late have caught up on them and that we could be getting them at the right time particularly as some of the absentees may not be back for Wednesday. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Did Killie not hit the woodwork with chances 5 or so times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By contrast Livi cut through the Killie defence on several occassions. It was only down to Livi trying to walk the ball into the net that prevented them from winning 3 or 4 zilch. At the end the Killie fans looked a sorry bunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 We might struggle a bit to field 2 decent central defenders on Wednesday night. Could have done without those 2 injuries today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he apparently had a bad game, no need to drop him for 1 bad game, ffs - next game he could be MotM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Kilmarnock are on a bad run but I think if you actually look at the results it's not that bad. Draws against Aberdeen and Dundee, one goal defeats to Celtic and Hearts. The away defeat to Livingston can happen to any one on that surface. One thing about Kilmarnock is that they don't keep a lot of clean sheets so you always have a chance against them, especially when they haven't been scoring as often since Greg Stewart moved on. Also they aren't used to runs like these where they aren't winning and they might feel a bit under pressure. They rested a lot of players on Saturday so I'd expect to see a more familiar Kilmarnock side with the likes of Taylor, Dicker, Power in it. If we turn up, I think we can get something out of this.

Andy_P Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Look back on the club's Twitter feed but I'm pretty sure they said you could do all remaining games, or all remaining away games or something. So I'm sure it will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkyred Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 More confident than usually about this game, the 4-1 against Celtic flatters them, we actually played pretty well. A 1-1 draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 A lot will depend on who is fit, especially in central defence. McHugh is a non starter as I suspect is Aldred, going by horrific pictures on the net this morning. Hartley won't be anywhere near match fit. I don't know about Mbulu. Donnelly perhaps? Main? I hope if young Scott starts he'll be given the support's loud backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilwell86 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I can't imagine any fan would give James Scott anything other than a huge cheer when his name is read out. Fantastic shit housery from him. Probably get a standing ovation from the Killie fans too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daver Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Their big dip in form has coincided with a very difficult run of fixtures whereas our run involved us playing the bottom half and then Hearts at home. Our potential injury issues worry me as our form has been built on a steady team selection but I still think we've got more about us than in our previous games against Kilmarnock. Hopefully our new-found attacking style will make the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 According to the Official Site, Mbulu has had a minor hamstring injury but may be fit by "late February". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hartley and Dunne in central defence? Is Hartley fit enough, if not it’s Donnelly or Tait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Aldred will surely be playing. After all, the BBC Scotland website describes him as "hardman Tom Aldred". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Surely Hartley's still capable of filling in for the odd game like this? Or has his fitness really dropped off a cliff that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Would like to think that we can take something from this game to try and get back on track after Sunday. Not going to be easy though. Kellie are a decentside and we seem to be running out of defensive options because of injuries. Right now, I’d take a point and move on.
