What an enjoyable Friday evening.
Two highlights: coming from behind to win and silencing the large, noisy away crowd.
It was great to be in the stadium with a decent crowd, a bit like the old days. Both sets of fans were making themselves heard, even those in the main stand.
Killie were the better team in the first half and I was happy it was 0-0 at the break, although we did have a few chances, notably Chalmers shot and Mckay was nearly in.
The goal we lost looked like sloppy defending to me but I’d need to see it again.
Dodds made good substitutions, which showed the value of Carson in midfield and after we equalised there was only one likely winner and up stepped Chalmers to get us the three points.
I feel we deserved the win, and it is good to be in the play offs, but I feel this season is a missed opportunity. If it was not for that 11 game winless run we could, possibly should, have been looking at automatic promotion.
Now we need to focus on finishing third and performing as well as we did in the last 30 minutes tonight. If we can do that, we need not fear any team in the play offs.
Killie were troubling us early on, but we seemed to work out how to neutralise them and, other than their goal, we were not troubled in the second half.
Bring on the play offs. Who knows what could happen!!
