Quitongo's Left Peg Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Aberdeen have had a very impressive pre-season, but we'll get a better idea of their domestic chances today (Sunday) and against us on Wednesday. Most Killie fans were impressed by their performance at Dens, and the majority of new additions (Obadeyi aside) all look like upgrades from last term. We'll never be able to replace Boyd, but this side is a far harder working and fluid team. We finally have a proper left-back (REJOICE!) and an impressive centre-back (WHIT?!) and that will help us a lot this term. Chantler in particular being everything that Tesselaar wasn't. Barbour was shaky against Dundee, so would we drop Hamill to right-back and leave Pascali in midfield? I'd say so. The other question would be whether to drop Ashcroft, bring in Clingan in midfield and move Pascali into defence. Personally I'd drop Paska as I think he was poor again yesterday, but I can't see Johnston doing that. It might be a week too early for Clingan to start after recovering from injury, which will swing the decision probably: Samson Hamill Ashcroft Connolly Chantler Pascali Slater McKenzie Cairney Johnston Magennis ...is how I'd set-up. Get Obadeyi tae f**k and give Cairney a chance. Looking forward to seeing is on our fancy new park too. Passing fitba' too! It'll never catch on...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Some sweeping statements there, based on one game,QLP. Wasn't Obadeyi fairly good in pre-season? A left-back is indeed good news, mind. As for replacing Boyd, there's a bit of me that feels we got the last best out of him last season, and we never thought we'd replace Bourke, Wright, Morrison, etc. either.

Quitongo's Left Peg Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Some sweeping statements there, based on one game,QLP. I don't think any are 'sweeping statements'. Chantler was very impressive and everything coming out of Carlisle says that he was a star there, so no reason to think he won't be better than Tesselaar. Connolly was silly at the penalty yesterday, but looks far more composed than any centre-back we've had for a while. Wasn't Obadeyi fairly good in pre-season? He really wasn't. Scored a cracker against Morecambe but that's about it. That's the third time I've seen him now, and I've never seen a player trip over his own feet and mess up moves more than he does. Cairney should be a stick on to play if that's his competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gord-1991 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Paska and Barbour were horrible yesterday Harkins made a full of them the full day McGowan as well Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gandosaur Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Is Lee Miller injured? Think you boys need him in for Magennis ASAP. He was as shite as many expected yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a loan player or not one of our youth prospects then he'd have been hounded out of the club by now. As for Pascali, you're risking the wrath of the Paska fan-boys if you dare slate him...

It will be in place of Obadeyi I'm sure. Magennis was okay yesterday, did what was asked of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment on Obadeyi - I've not seen him, and I'm beginning to think I don't want to. As for Pasca, the same applies as does to Boyd - time isn't a friend, and if he's not performing then he shouldn't be playing. Please don't let it be Invincibile all over again - if he's no longer contributing, don't pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cass316 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Here you. I'll no have anyone speak ill of Obadeyi. He's going to cause defences problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cass316 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 As long as it's not our defence... Defence looked good yesterday. Young back 4 aswell. They will get better as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I would be tempted to move to a 4-3-3 to match up with Aberdeen's midfield. Get Obadeyi dropped, and also ditch Magennis for Miller if he's fit (though I doubt he will be since he didn't even make the bench yesterday). Hamill is a certainty to come in, and if Clingan is fit then he should come in for Pascali or Barbour too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hopefully it's a good game and there is a good crowd backing. 1-1 McKenzie and Rooney to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie_lad Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Need to be taking advantage of a team that's played 3 games in 6 days and then including the journey down here 2-0 killie, Messi and McKenzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 No Anderson for this one either as his knees are not up to playing on plastic pitch apparently but Hayes will be back. Team will need to be a whole lot better than today. Would put Clark Robertson to left back and Considine into the middle for Taylor. Rooney to start up front. Cannot make the game due to our countries excellent public transport system so going to miss us starting Killie's over due return to 1st division with a 2-0 win.

Deefiant Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm taking umbrage at the passing machine tag unless it's ironic and I'm being wooshed. Long ball blooter merchants I'm afraid as reflected in the possession stats from Saturday. Well organised though and resolute defensively. Agree with the above though, miller could make your season if he performs as he did for hearts. If he plays like he did for Aberdeen tho....
