I think it has started and Kille should have been down to 10 men in the 2nd minute. Clear on telly but can understand why the ref missed it.

edited title to make it into a matchday thread

The two lowest scoring teams, the two with the least shots on target and both have had two consecutive team sheets - let's hope this does not equal a 0-0 - although Kille have had 2 attempts already.

Almost 15 minutes gone but Killie the better so far in a very drab game. Why are we sitting so deep. And that could have been a soft penalty against us.

if we do not score  Kille will win this game 1 0 

Thank you Michael Owen

20 minutes of poor, poor stuff 

Tansey gets another stupid, needless yellow.  And why, why, why is he playing so deep. He is never going to find a killer pass from deep in his own half. Still 2-0 on shots to Killie by the way. Yawn.

So we get a corner that never, never was and what do we do ? 

The only bet that I would place at the moment would be for a Tansey red card. His tackling has always been poor and he is playing in a very dangerous position. 30 minutes gone, no shots on target - whoa ONE and Williams pulls a fine save from our Scottish Cup provider- and then Warren header blocked - and two corners - and another shot blocked - and another corner - and Draper hits the post.  I have had a footballing orgasm despite it still being 0-0.

The match is almost as dull as the atmosphere. I'd say we're the better team though.

Well at least Williams got one in the net but clear foul and offside. Our only real threat has come from long throws from Meekings. And note that Yogi has been hiding in the dugout throughout and does not look at all interested.

8-0 on corners and again loads of space at the back post. That should be capitalised on.

use this as the matchday thread - sorry, slept in this AM and have stuff to do on the last but one weekend before we head over the pond ! Normal updates will be done later in the day. 

1-0 to Higginbotham. Ridiculous defending by Tansey who should not have been so deep and where was Josh Meekings - in his usual position in the middle. That was coming a mile off.

2 dreadful teams 1 quality finish 

Groundhog day.

Better team but no quality up top. Same old story.

That was simply dire. Meekings is not a full back. Devine has lost his confidence. Tansey may look pretty and fire some lovely long but ineffective balls. He is practically in the back four. If the idea is to block the feed to Sumo that is laughable. There is a huge gap between the defence and the poor two sods up front who are there to chase scraps. That nullifies our midfield who are bypassed. Hook Devine and move Meekings back in the middle with Warren, put Horner or Raven in at right back. Swap Draper and Tansey and play the ball through the channels to Tansey or Vigurs. Put Polworth wider right or take on Mutumbo. Why play two strikers wide and none through the middle ? Play a higher defence because the pace of Sumo is not particularly worrying. A Tansey Red is all that I can prophecy!! Pass marks however to Tremarco.

At home and no striker through the middle just about sums up the shambles we are at moment

With a deep midfield compacted in the centre and not exactly busting a gut to fill that hole in the middle up front ?

No changes 

Never seen yogi look so uninterested either 

Devine has simply lost it. Add a bet that his error will lead to a goal. Hope that I am wrong but Draper appears to be dropping deeper, looking for the ball which is probably instinctive but it needs pointing out. And Boyd is suddenly finding space.

That was Draper cleverly dragging is leg into McDonald and professionally plays for the penalty. And the customary red follows. Penalty number 5 this season from Tansey - great strike - match changer especially as Kille have hooked Higginbotham which is a terrible but appreciated decision. 

And a Tansey strike from 30 yards out - not from our 30 yards - Better but why did it take so long to suss.

Push on for the 3 points now
