Reverend Maynard Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 You get the feeling that mixu is waiting for the team to "click" and that once it happens, the formation, signings etc will all make sense. We saw no sign of that at the back of end last season, the beginning of this season, and since mixu has come in, so you've got to be realistic about what we're going to get out of this game. At best, a score draw. Whats interesting is that the teams above us are all bunched so close together, so if we do start to get draws/ the odd win it could really have an effect on who ends up in the drop seat with us.

Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 My sons birthday party so I'll miss this, and for some sick reason I'm disappointed about that. Your feelings of disappointment are probably actually feelings of guilt. Missing your son's birthday party to watch the mighty Killie might be understandable, but not forgivable.

Richie95 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 2-1 Kilmarnock win, Jamie Hamill to continue his new found footballing abilities and score from 35 yards in the last kick of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 You get the feeling that mixu is waiting for the team to "click" and that once it happens, the formation, signings etc will all make sense. That's exactly what happened when he was in charge of us. We were bottom of the league when we won 3-0 at tynecastle and ended up qualifying for the top six with a couple of games to spare. I wonder if it's too late for Dundee United, but if so it'll definitely be a lot closer by the end of the season. I can't help but feel all the finality they were using on Sportsound on Saturday is very premature. Genuinely nervous about Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maslow Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Going to head along to this on Saturday. Where's best to park near Tannadice?In front of the DABS goal probably ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 We lose this, we are down...if we aren't already You've had quite a few games already where you could say that. I think it's probably just about out of reach now. Can't wait until we approach the games which could officially relegate you. Hoping we get the chance but not sure the fixtures really lend themselves to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 You've had quite a few games already where you could say that. I think it's probably just about out of reach now. Can't wait until we approach the games which could officially relegate you. Hoping we get the chance but not sure the fixtures really lend themselves to that. If, and it's a big if, we're making progress and have closed the gap a bit before the split, there's still15 points at stake - 15 from 45 points the bottom 6 will be playing for. If Mixu's plan clicks like it did at Kilie, who knows? It's unlikely to happen but... I'm just worried that we pick up 6 points from the next 2 games, get our hopes raised and then it all goes to complete shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gandosaur Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Killie are nearly 3/1 this game. United are below evens some places. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podlie Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I've stayed clear of match threads for a wee while due to making a superstitious connection between my taking a break and Killie actually getting a couple of results. I am, however, a human being theoretically capable of seeing that for the bollox it undoubtedly is, so.... Kiltie to continue showing how important it was to secure his services, Josh (it was a one-match suspension, yeah?) to remind Caley why last week could have been worse, and Jamie Hammill to continue his transformation from has-been to SuperHero. Arabs 4, Kille 5 (Kiltie, Magennis, Hammill(3)) You playing without a keeper, even then doubtful the Dabs could put it in the net, four times in 90mins.

Quitongo's Left Peg Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Barbour and Ashcroft still on our books, and Locke in charge... Lee Ashcroft has been excellent in the last three matches. Granted, you don't watch Killie and he has been poor for a few seasons, but it looks as if he has certainly improved his composure during his spell out the team. Still far from a top defender, but more than an adequate reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'd like to come on here and warn the Killie fans which of our players are really dangerous and who to look out for. I'll have a wee think about it before Saturday and see what I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 They could sit on chairs and Dabs still no score 4 goals such is their confidence level. Durnan and Gunning would probably get outpaced by one of the chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Lee Ashcroft has been excellent in the last three matches. Granted, you don't watch Killie and he has been poor for a few seasons, but it looks as if he has certainly improved his composure during his spell out the team. Still far from a top defender, but more than an adequate reserve. What's wrong with Ashcroft? Granted I've not seen a great deal of the team in the last few years (been three times in the last two years), but I've not been over impressed with what I've seen of him. Mainly what tv coverage we get, obviously, but he seems to crop up in some odd positions for someone who, playing for us in the last couple of years, should be getting the basics of his job right before trying to mix things up. Still streets ahead of (what I've seen of) Barbour, though. I've been told he can be a bit rash in the tackle, though, so hopefully he's calming down as well. If he's improved as qlp says, fair enough. In fairness, the team look (from what I've seen) a bit more composed, so that would naturally help him settle.
