Another scrappy win but a win is a win.
Killie dominated large chunks of the game but lacked any quality in the final third. We werent too sharp ourselves. Doran got the rub of the green with his shot taking a lucky deflection. Deano was equally fortunate that his defence were alert to the danger caused by his slack pass to Gardyne.
Shinnies goal was well taken, linked up well with Foran and cut inside, striking a nice shot across Samson and into the bottom corner but we shouldve built on it. Killie never really threatened but they got their goal back from a set piece. Response was good as Williams saw his header come off the post.
Game petered out and result was ours. Any game that see us with 3 points is top notch but we really seem to have lost our fluency. The slickness from previous game is not quite there.
I know Shinnie got man of the match but for me Foran was the best player on the pitch today. Defensively he was excellent. Mopped up so much at the back and did everything he could to get attacks going. Ive questioned his passing ability at times but I couldnt fault him today, barely put a foot wrong and some the passes he picked out were top notch. Proper captains display.
