deadasdillinger Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Second time this season we travel to Motherwell having had Ndaba start the previous game but miss this trip. Last time I felt we should have fired in a like for like replacement and stuck with the system that had been working, but we changed shape. Be interesting to see who starts. Does Balagizi come in? Does Dennis take the gloves back, which would be harsh on O'Hara? Does Stewart come in for Vassell, who has now missed one-on-ones in our last three games, two of them having a massive impact on the outcome of the game?

Busta Nut Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 This is early. We usually don't get match threads until the day before. I think we'll struggle here. Need Killie to have an off day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Think Gorgeous Greg has to start for this one. I don't think i can stand another 1 on 1 being missed by Vassell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I was really impressed by Killie in the first half of that early game but we changed things at half time and a draw would have been fair (a late winner is always welcome though). We've regressed since then though and are plagued by injuries so are relying on making some decent signings this week. This game will probably come too soon for them but we desperately need to change some of our draws into victories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Feel like I could just cut and paste this again but would take a point... Killie have been excellent, not only well positioned but seemingly getting stronger towards May rather than clinging on to what they've banked already. We've steadied the ship somewhat but are still fragile as f**k and with clean sheets out the question you certainly wouldn't be betting on a home win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Killie going well. Would take another point. However, we are at home and always the chance of a new signing before the weekend that could come in and light up the last 20 minutes. Alen Ozbolt come on down! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a win in the next couple of games to kick start things. Might as well start on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Dennis has done well (and far better than most thought) I still don’t feel as if he is saving us every game or a huge stand out (not a Danny Bachman type). Due to this, and O’Hara being our own signed player, I wouldn’t mind seeing O’Hara continue in goals for the time being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I don't see what different it makes that O'Hara is our signed player, given they're both only with us until the end of the season. It's not like O'Hara is on a 3-year deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'd take having a second senior striker in the match day squad. I can't imagine we'll deviate much from the 3-6-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaCider Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I think Vassell will most probably start, just hope he’s learned to shoot from a one-vs-one this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he shoots directly at Kelly he will save it, get someone to cross in from wide, that’s less predictable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously no gonna arrive until the mora. The dutch slaughtered his fitness anaw but I think the dutch manager was a helmet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game is 50-50 or Killie clinging on leave him there but if not the quickest way to match sharpness is matches. You'd also assume that Killie, before signing a wage this alleged size, will have done some rudimentary fitness checks though maybe they're just copying us in that regard and thinking stuff it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
