killiepiemuncher Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The spider fans I’ve met in various Killie pubs this afternoon/evening have been the classist fans I’ve encountered this season. All the best for the season ahead. I hope the spelling makes sense I’ve not got my readers with me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really nice touches and a well taken goal Probably our best all round player. Nesbit scored all the time but hes more intelligent on the ball. Aye...... they can team up again in the summer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesser Is More Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 A heavy defeat and being outplayed throughout is one thing but that was poor even by league two standards. Harsh I know, but we just didn't turn up today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgeofweirdo Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 No big deal -we should be proud of the fact of how we got to this stage in the competition and then get back to the business of a play off place by giving the Rovers a doing on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Not sure anyone would have believed you if you had said before the game... "We'll win 6-0, the first three goals will be scored by our centre backs. The first two goals will be absolutely identical. The fourth goal will be scored by Kiltie on his birthday, the fifth by our brand new striker scoring with his arse, and the sixth by another centre back. Oh, and Burke will provide all six of them!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Stamp Army Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Well that was disappointing. Extremely [emoji17] Never competed at any point struggling to think of any pass marks Joffrey?Anyone find the half time on pitch interview with Mark Roberts a bit bizarre and ill judged?Anyway upwards and onwards Today will have strengthened Ray’s case for January reinforcements... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Apparently Burke's 6 assists in one match is a world record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Does the referee not deserve an assist for the second goal? (Made no difference whatsoever to the outcome.) Really enjoyed the pork burger in the Brass & Granite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 A result like that was always a possibility. Hearts and Hamilton took five off Airdrie and Edinburgh. There's three leagues between us for a reason. It's a shame we didn't give a better account of ourselves, but it is what it is. Dust ourselves down and move on to the important stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A League Two team is always liable to get a chasing from a Premiership side. If I had to choose a game between now and the end of the season to take a pasting, it'd have been yesterday. It's less of a dent to the confidence than being pumped by Albion Rovers or Cowdenbeath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard this as well, but it has to be completely made up. When Arbroath beat Bon Accord 36-0 and Dundee Harp beat Aberdeen Rovers 35-0 on the same day, it would almost be difficult for someone not to have 6 or more assists, but obviously we don't know because there's not enough information. Even more recently, there was Australia's 31-0 win over American Samoa - there is some limited footage of that, but not enough to work out who got them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I’m going to give Mr McKinnon the benefit of the doubt in that he chose this fixture to experiment on a few things and sacrifice the feelgood factor for some rapid learning about his players. He’s probably learned more than he wanted to.Killie did their job wonderfully, no question. Holding the ball, sharp and crisp passing, brutally good finishing. And a Chris Burke too. So we can dry our eyes and relax because none of that quality is available in L2. So what was difference from the previous round? Simply, how our team was set up. At Dumfries we were at them from the off. Pressed the game high up the pitch and forced long balls. Got really close to the opposition and let them know. A chip on the ankle bone; elbow in the ribs; wee dunt in the thighs. Yesterday, our 5 man back line and three man midfield were about 10 metres apart and sitting very deep. Not doing anything to disrupt Killie, just waiting to parry the assault. And on it came, again and again.Fair enough if Ray was wanting to see how his defensive tactics could cope with his players ability, or vice-versa, but by half-time that learning curve was bent out of shape and I hoped he would reshape and test the attacking capability in the second half. Nope. Same as the first half. Same result.The next couple of weeks will tell. If the window closes and McKinnon hasn’t found anything better we might be in trouble. I know the club are looking but it’ll be a while before decent pros see QP as a real prospect. And on yesterday’s showing there’s a fair number of individuals unable or unwilling to compete. With yet another “critical four game spell” coming up there’s much to be done.A seamless performance from Killie. All the best in the next round. Thanks for the hospitality. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidersmad Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 "Yesterday, our 5 man back line and three man midfield were about 10 metres apart and sitting very deep. Not doing anything to disrupt Killie, just waiting to parry the assault. And on it came, again and again" Yup, spot on summary of the tactics yesterday. The classic Levein / McInnes approach to a game v stronger opposition - surrender two thirds of the pitch (or even three quarters) and hope to hang on as long as possible. Asking for a tanking, especially with our weakness in central defence which was on full view v Stenny a couple of weeks ago. At times in the first half Davie Galt seemed to be operating as an extra left back. Alex Dyer must have thought all his birthdays had come at once while Mark Roberts was probably having a quiet wee chuckle to himself. Big, big game coming up on Saturday, but at least we won't be adopting that approach v Albion Rovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just saw a statistic in the Pool v Man Yoo game that no team in that League has let in more than 8 goals from a corner this season. Four for us yesterday....... That is, though, something that can be worked on. Hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
