Londonwell Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Deserved point in the end. I was interested to see if the manager could get a reaction after an abysmal first half (something Hammell never seemed to manage). While we weren’t great 2nd half either we definitely improved and that’s a good sign for me. I was going to moan about his use of subs in the game and then one of them steps up and smashes a great free kick in. So that shut me up. Good point. The unbeatable Kettlebell juggernaut rolls on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatermass Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 What a free kick and a fantastic point. Gut punch for Killie but there you go. Still tight at the bottom and I think we still need to be concerned with the battle below than what is happening above us. Ninth place would be a great finish imo considering how bad we have been. I’d also take 10th with a comfortable gap between us and 11th at this point as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Agreed. Deserved a point there. Ended up with more possession, more shots and more shots on target than Killie in the end. Obika and Furlong should have scored their break aways too. Edited February 25, 2023 by eliphas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) I definitely wouldn't be saying this if I was at the game and had just seen us score a stunner in the 89th minute but County thumping United is far from ideal for us IMO. Feels like a triple(?)-edged sword in that it draws them closer to us, gives them a massive boost ahead of playing us next week and will surely force United into bringing somebody competent in for the end of the season.

Antiochas III Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 No idea why we spent the first 45 punting the ball to Taylor's head, but the HT adjustments, worked in the end. Could probably have won it. But a point is better than none. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox has got another couple of weeks, minimum. Canny be saying on Tuesday that he's your man and sack him at tea time Saturday. Also they're a disaster so they'll only appoint someone less competent. Being 7 clear of the drop zone, I'm am now declaring us; safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda agree with this. 0-0 or a 1-0 win for County wouldn’t have been the worst. A proper thumping to Utd could provoke big changes in both camps. Hopefully, it is more Utd have totally downed tools rather than County having sorted themselves out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all sounds sensible, but alternatively- they're appointing Ian Holloway, winning their game in hand, recalling Tony Watt through some SPFL loophole and relegating us on the last day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatermass Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 What’s the statistical magic number for 10th/safety? 37 points? With this team this season, I’ll breathe a bit of a sigh of relief when (if) we hit 38 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Of all the titbits to discuss today, chasing the game we put on (only) SOD, Aitchison and Slattery while ignoring Mckinstry, crankshaw, Tierney and Danzaki. Can obviously say well done this time but it's a rather damning indictment on them...it's one thing not starting them, ignoring them when chasing a game late on suggests SK sees next to no use for them whatsoever.

I'd be surprised to see Tierney, Crankshaw or Danzaki playing at Premiership level after they leave us tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitchison on the right and KVV on the left I take it? Wondered if it was a Robinson-esque "three centre forwards running into each other" job when he made the sub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merit to this, I wondered why both wingbacks didn’t finish the game unless they were gubbed or Killie were roasting them. However, let’s not overlook of Goss had been on the park he would have claimed that free kick and looked to chip it to the back post. As poor as we’ve been, we’ve taken 2 from 9 from that Kilmarnock team. Which is a rid neck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
