Incredible goals to chose from!
-
Buffering is bloody awful! As was the first 10 but big improvement since the.
-
Great game and fantastic atmosphere. First half totally in control without carving them open. Bit nervy after we scored but brilliant to see the attitude to defending our goal - ‘thou shalt not pass’ style. Two top quality goals. Think I got sunburnt!

Quite superb result from a bizarre game! Very interesting run in
-
I think that's where mcGregor played for the youth team and he's played there a few times but Dodds prefered playing Shane there and moving Roddy to the right, then defensive mid, then the left...anywhere but 10...Jack Brown has been moved to a ten at his club and doing really well. wish we had kept him - I see Peterhead have signed him from Rothes. Hopefully we can get him back - he was a terrier with skills

From what I’ve heard about MacGregor he went from having Covid to then tearing something in his thigh before Dunfermline game. He wasn’t given a scan and came back too early, injuring it again. I actually felt sick watching that last night. There was no lack of effort, particularly in second half but it does seem that we’ve given up trying to control the ball and keep possession and instead seem content to punt and try not to make mistakes. It’s the fear factor. The one thing that having only eight games left means there’s only one option and that is to attack…..just having a system that allows that would be good…..

Looking at the formation of the team when we had our best run it was Allardice and MacGregor in the centre of midfield - two technical ball players with loads of energy who helped our defence. Once that pairing was split up and adding the Gardyne fiasco into the mix - thats where things started to go wrong. How they recover from this is a more difficult question to answer.
-
That’s great if you’ve got the resources to not win the league and keep those players on. We make a few bad signings and we’re screwed. For all Kilmarnock are throwing the cash at it, it doesn’t mean they’re going to win.
-
we need to take Sutherland out of the 10 position and put Young Roddy in there. The number of times he was free and waving his arms for the ball to be igonored for a sideways:back pass was ridiculous. Poor Davie Carson should have been subbed at half time, his crossing passing was awful The pace of the attack is awful. We need to get someone in that midfield who can see a pass - Dodds has to give Roddy that chance, he’s a total waste out wide

Good to hear Radio Scotland pundits writing off everyone else now Kilmarnock have won a game…..they’ll be fine when the old firm are back that was a very defensive minded midfield we started with including a left back. We had three excellent midfielders who have either been injured, had covid or been in isolation. I’d love to see Roddy upfront with Mcckay to see what might happen. With Allardice and welsh holding things…but then Reece made a big impact on coming on. Good thing was that Billy changed things quickly. He picked the wrong team today but realised quickly.
-
Jeez this is hard going. I’m not buying into this Dick Campbell love fest. It’s like watching Wimbledon in the 90s.
-
I thought this was quite interesting. Liked Welsh at CB as he has far more vision with forward passes. Cammy played really well. Carson’s battle with Zenatta first half was interesting. Reece looked better apart from woeful free kick. Mcdonald and Jamieson got game time. Cammy in goals looked confident (he normally scares me) Overall the better team and considering how well Raith have been going, and how experimental our team was, I think that’s not a bad nights result. Haven’t seen a game with so many off side calls ! Fine margins.

Looks fairly clear as to what the problem was. No matter how good an individual is the team is what wins the game.
-
Sometimes team spirit can be completely ruined by the actions of one person. Who knows
-
Shane Sutherland has been missing - Dodds said the defence started up front. He did so much work. Allardice and MacGregor were in the midfield when we won most of those matches. Since then We’ve lost some really silly goals. We played some lovely stuff against Patrick recently but didn’t get the luck. We’re not a million miles off it. It’ll come
-
The difference was having Allardice back in the middle. Duffy did well hope he’s given a chance.

I couldn’t believe that. Guys are trying their hardest to build an atmosphere and they’re disbanded by OTT security. the team could have done with was some more vocal support !

Thinking about this after a nights rest....We lost Carson and removed our best ball winning midfielder to right back. We changed things and lost Sutherland who although not always the most glamourous of players always put in a huge shift and won so much ball back as well. So there's three of your best ball winners and grittiest players either not playing or out of position. A lot of the ambitious balls being punted aross the pitch last night were so dangerous in those conditions. We needed more movement and a shorter faster passing game which we have achieved in some games. The problem is when we play Duku the game plan seems to be to lump it up to him which was just meat and drink to Arbroath. In the first 6 games we rode our luck ...these last few games we just havent had any.
-
We just seemed very tentative in the first half, as if we were waiting to get the wind in the second half. They were definitely snapping up the balls in midfield. Allardice is a big miss in there and def isn’t comfortable out at right back. The number of balls just lumped up to our forward line is a compete waste of time.
-
after watching the Scotland U21 performance tonight you have to wonder how Boroughs and Forini are ahead of Roddy. The midfield were missing in action. Deas should definitley be in that squad as well
-
Only managed to watch the game in sporadic bursts but when you take half your defence out (fairly late in the day as well) then the chances of being caught cold are increased. That’s what happened. Simple as that. There were chances created but when you have 9 behind the ball and most of them in the box it is incredibly difficult to break it down. Def needed more movement to stretch them and pull them out of position and I’d imagine that’s what will be worked on in the coming weeks. Would love to see Mcdonald getting some game time.

You can tell how well the team are doing just now when the biggest gripe we’ve got is this

https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/under-21s-update-squad-for-turkey-match-due-to-uk-government-rules/ so they take in 10 new boys but our three not deemed good enough despite two of them playing week in week out, and playing very well. No wonder Scottish football never progresses
-
Superb team effort - Kilmarnock looked out of ideas and out on their feet at the end. We looked seriously dangerous on the break. Great to bring on Welsh - he really helps tidy things up and keep the ball on the deck when we look far more effective. Would love to see how many miles they all ran. on another note ...good to hear on radio "That was Todorov hitting his hattrick of shots against the keeper" as Dunfermline keep sliding.
