Jan Vojáček Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 He'll be fine for next week. You have cheered me up a lot. Just a wee knock? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Impressed with right back Smith and Johnstone. Johnstone just not needs a wee bit of confidence taking the last man on. Our defence looks quite assured aswell. Mark Stewart is putting in a power or work. Not happy with punting the baw up to him all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 We've actually been not too bad here. Individual mistakes have lead to both their goals, we're still absolutely toothless up front without The Prince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Vaughan got a couple for Raith aswell. We huffed and puffed. Alot of good effort. Lee Erwin is a terrific signing for Killie, they should do okay this year. I wasn't too disheartened with that today despite the scoreline. Smith at right back and Johnston played well. Still a bit unsure of the keeper at high balls but a decent shot stopper. We are in desperate need of a striker though. A Chris Kane style would be great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Be interesting to see it again. I was sure from the reaction of those on the pitch that it was a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 An utterly shambolic League Cup campaign. No amount of 3-0 defeats whilst competing well will change that.Astronomical improvement required, starting next weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Meet The Manager session next Saturday. At 2pm. An hour before kick off.I'd rather he was sweet talking his players at that point in time, not us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'd probably rather it was done earlier in the day. It would be great to make the first home league game of the season a big event. Meet the manager could be a really good part of that, but I'd have it earlier and allow Stevie to get back to his pre-match stuff. Open the doors at 1pm for a 1:15 start. Hold the session until 2:00 and let the manager get back to his pre-match prep, leaving an hour for fans to get ready for kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sons'r'us Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Very strange time for a meet the manager. Being the 1st game of the season additional punters normally come a wee bit earlier than normal for a beer or 2. Have it at 1pm and you get them in even earlier. Making a bit extra dosh for the club from Bar takings. Add to that the team talk, etc already discussed. Strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Cynical me thinks it's because the session can be really short. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm genuinely not looking to create panic here but everything we're doing screams disorganisation and that in the end, to me, means relegation. I hope I'm wrong but it's bizarre decision after bizarre decision. Stevie has never done a meet the manager but feels the need to do one an hour before our first league match? I will go and listen but at the end of the day we need to see a TEAM on the park. Not just boys he managed to cobble together. He has a massive job on his hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Adam Thomas saying on Twitter Barr was given the day off to attend his brother's wedding and Aitken will be signing a defender early next week. I sincerely hope we still have room for a striker after that because currently all we have is Nade and Stewart who I assume will both be starters. It looks like Roy will be deployed as a winger so I'm not counting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought he was a good player. Hopefully he'll develop an understanding with Nade and do it for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Whilst I don't disagree with Stevie that we need another defender, we absolutely desperately require another striker. That should be the main priority. Lee Erwin was exactly the sort of guy we need (obviously not actually him, as he's far too good for us) but a big powerful guy, capable of holding play up, running the channels, and with a decent record of putting chances away. There aren't too many of them about, but I'd hope that would be our priority. The Prince will get injured and, whilst he was good today, I'm still not 100% sold on Stewart thus far. As a total aside, and just to add some positive spin on a 3-0 defeat, I thought Andy Dowie played well today. He looked shaky at Cliftonhill at the start of pre-season, but has really came onto a game since then...even if he did give Stevie an earful in the first-half after he got the blame for something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
