They also have sporting directors too.

McGrath missing another pen against the Hun.

It's mental how tight the league is. Not a stand out team from third down, although I expect the Hun to turn it round. Shitfest a few more games like tonight and I think we'll be in with a chance of top six.

Never in doubt. Top performance. Knoester MOTM. We looked out on our airses for the last 30 minutes. Fuck knows what Thelin was watching, it was almost like he didn't want to jinx it by bringing on a sub. Karlsson barely touched it in the second half, and Armstrong also looked knackered, as did Lobban. Don't need all of them off, obviously, but one or two. Actually think Yengi might have offered more than Nisbet in a game like that, but I'd probably have just gone with the two up in order to push them back. They went very direct in the second half, and we struggled. Watson a fantastic player.

Actually, we maybe shouldn't.

Subs?

At £250, they should have backup available. It's bizarre that the clubs don't get together and allow each other to piggyback feeds if things go awry.

Think it was just for the set piece and aftermath. Lobban looking good, as expected. Jensen been decent too, with a few poor touches to be expected on his wrong side. Shinnie and Polvara a good combo in midfield, and the front three linking up well. Knoester been very good taking it out from the back.

The cost is ridiculous. It's why I stopped paying. Armstrong doing well in the advanced position, unsurprisingly. Lazetic looking a little bit tired already.

Great attempted pass by Karlsson

Yaasss. Armstrong

Fawa working

You're correct. Perhaps it's just when Nisbet is playing, they form the line

Lobban right. Or Low-ban as the Killie TV lads are calling him

It's really a 3-4-3 when you see it in the wild. The two wide play in line with the striker. I took am interested to see if Lobban plays left, he certainly looks two footed.

Aye, that's an interesting lineup. Great to see Lobban get a chance, he's due it. I'm guessing it'll be the 3-4-3 again, with Polvara and Karlsson either side of Lazetic. Not a fan of the central midfielder playing high right, whether that be Aouchiche, Clarkson or Polvara. It just seems really unnecessary. For me, 3-5-2 with Armstrong in front of Shinnie and Polvara would work much better.

Who says our funds are limited.... Frame was a strange one. Playing in the lowland league, he was never going to step into our team. I'm assuming Bilalovic is injured? He looked like he might have something about him, but perhaps suspect positionally. Thought we might have seen something more of him when chasing games. He didn't look any worse than Milanovic. I'd have thought all three could have been out on loan to the championship at least.

"What has failed recently was not due to our structure or model, but to one individual’s desire for self-preservation at the expense of others." Brilliant stuff. Rogers is an absolute weirdo.

The camera adds 60kg

Armstrong has been decent on the ball, generally speaking. However, it struck me when watching Hibs (and when we signed him, in reality it is fucking obvious), that he would do a good job in the role McGrath was playing. Let's just do that for Killie. Edit: obviously, I'd normally pick Clarkson ahead of Nilsen, but I'm saving him for the second half when we're two down.

Banks O'Dee v County is a good draw. Been a while since a side that big has been to the city

Then hopefully he's learned his fucking lesson and realised that throwing money at a manager doesn't work unless it's millions more than everyone else, and you spend a substantial portion of it on buying everyone else's best players. Nevermind though, once the project players find their feet, we'll walk the league.

Aye, that was gash again. I suspect that the last two minutes has saved JT's job. Had we lost 3-0 then he'd have been done. The European pish is an absolute disaster for us. We're nowhere near being ready for the extra games and today showed it. Several players looked knackered today, and we don't even have a settled first eleven, never mind a rotatable squad. We don't seem to be able to attack without leaving gaping holes in defence. The second half especially, when Devlin (probably the only one with pass marks, Lazetic aside) spent the entire time upfield. Dorrington and Milne were poor, with Knoester only marginally better. Karlsson very quick to berate Keskinen (which helped nobody), but didn't do a whole lot himself and gave the ball away too often. Armstrong was okay, but takes too long to shoot, and gives the ball away far too often. For all the shite Shinnie gets with the "legs have gone" pish, he covers 80 times more ground than Palaversa, who was absolutely dogshite. Clarkson was good when he came on and should be starting. Jensen pish and once again Nisbet is a waste of a shirt without a partner (which should have been obvious before signing). Milanovic probably had his best game today, positionally he was really good, working well with Devlin. Unfortunately he was terrible anytime he actually got the ball. I'm assuming Bilalovic is dead or something? Anyway, it's the shite squad building in the summer that has fucked us. Get the DOF in and put a proper plan in place and force JT to stay and get it done. Need to take a hard call on guys like Palaversa, Polvara etc and get them shifted.

Jambos win the league after only 9 games.

Molloy on the left and Aouchiche on the right are the two weak points (square pegs) for me. We play a 3-4-3, but I think if you just move Aouchiche back into a midfield three, then you can have someone up front with Nisbet, which then allows him to play to his strengths.
