We’ve been absolutely crap for the whole of 2023 (and we absolutely robbed Albion Rovers to end 2022). Fair enough, only a few of those games have been this season, but it’s an increasingly worryingly large sample size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Game v Thistle, 1985. Player on the right is Gerry McCoy (I'm pretty sure), no idea who the flying heider is. Anyone help? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I should have done is access Sons Archive first to narrow down the possibilities, so Pat McGowan maybe (though the player looks too tall for McGowan, from what I remember) Though I notice that Tam Coyle was both a starter and a sub that day *shakes head at @microdave * 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Anyone there last night fancy giving us a wee rundown of how it went? From the report on Kilmarnock's website it seemed pretty even and like a draw was a fair outcome - with both sides having chances. That Kilmarnock front three of Aaron Brown, Steven Warnock and Bobby Wales would be one of the strongest in League Two imo, so they might've been a bit stronger than I had, had in my head. Likewise they had Kieran O'Hara and Jack Sanders playing, which I didn't realise. I didn't even think to look at their teamsheet, I just assumed I wouldn't know anyone! It's funny. I've no idea what to make of our results so far; the draws could all easily have been wins or defeats. https://kilmarnockfc.co.uk/news/matchzone-dumbarton-h/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I think what I'd make of our games so far is that we're not really that different from last season. We look ok at the back, but usually make at least 1 mistake per game. We don't look overly fluid going forward and goals look to be a bit of a problem. We've been here before. The more expansive, attacking, risk taking style of football has been in short supply so far. If we really do want to be more ambitious then it's time to start showing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I watched us against ICT and Spartans and the performance levels were night and day. We never gave ICT a minute on the ball but against Spartans there was virtually no pressing. We also passed through midfield and were quite brave in our passing attempts, whereas against Spartans we gave the ball to a centre back and hoofed it long. It may be that the squad we had available for each fixture dictated how we set up but if there was no difference in inatructions for the team then we may have an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Kelty at home in the Diddy Cup. Given we've never played them I suppose that's not the worst draw. I'd rather it was at their place mind you to let me tick off another ground. Stefan McCluskey derby. What a buzz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 14 hours ago, O'Kelly Isley III said: Statistic you say ? When did we last have three consecutive 1-1 draws @microdave ? Long may the sequence continue. August 2008 is the answer. League games against Montrose and Elgin with a league cup game against Annan in between. I've looked back to 1986 so far and found nine instances of us drawing three or more consecutive matches. I'm going to keep looking but not until this evening as it's easier to look at the results at the back of Jim McAllister's book than trawl a website page by page. 4 hours ago, Boghead ranter said: Thank you.

I'll check and amend tonight. As ever, if anyone notices anything that isn't right on the archive, please let me know. I want it to be accurate so I won't take offence at mistakes being pointed out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Are they paying us to promote this shite? I sure fucking hope so. Hopefully that new director character can wander back on here and explain if he thinks it's wise for this football club to be flogging another side's wares. Perhaps this is what he meant by "improving the commercials massively" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really their fault, they're doing everything a club should do to attract fans, it's our own board who have allowed this to happen who are having a laugh. 12 minutes ago, Jan Vojáček said: Our accounts have been published.
