FOR JUST NOW

Shite season apparently, but two points off third place

Just stuck my winnings from the co-op cup results on the dons, thats how confident I am!!

 

Stand Free!

;D ;D

Well it wasn't pretty.  We played well for about 20 minutes in the second half but after that attempted to defend a 1-0 lead by flooding the midfield 

Good to get three points though.  Aluko and Miller had very good games IMHO.

It was a scrappy game, but despite that thought we played alright, some good play at times.

 

I thought Miller had a great game, was really pleasantly surprised at how he played. Some nice play and he even looked like he had pace at points!

Lee Miller is good player, arguable the most talented player on our books, but he doesn't score goals.  I'd love it if had a Riordan or O'Connor type player to partner him upfront.

He rarely takes shots from distance, I don't know if it's a confidence thing? His shot off the post at Hearts was close, he should be trying that more often. But I do agree with your comment re Riordan/O'Connor types, cos Mackie is not the answer.

Mackie's ace though 

Of course.

Bizarre season so far

 

We've been shocking and yet we are only 2 points off Kilmarnock who have apparenlty been having a great season so far?

we also have the best 'Away' defensive record.

delighted with the result today, but, it does make you wonder why we start every season so fucking slowly.  A strong start to the season and we'd be flying, why do we continue to give ourselves this disadvantage?

I thought we by far the better team and had the best players on the park.

 

The formation was a Jakki Brambles though and seemed to suit Killie more than us.

 

That said, we won, so it was a formation that worked.

 

Miller was excellent, as was Seve and Aluko, who should have scored more than one.

 

I am also becoming more and more impressed with Hodgekiss. Very tidy and uncomplicated and does the simple defending tasks well and isn't short of pace.

 

Word of praise for Foster too. There I said it.

 

Still think Seve and Kerr is the way forward in the middle though, Kerr was very good when he came on and Young had a very disappointing game.

 

After the game the discussion was about how McDonald will get back into the team and Smith could have difficulty too if he can't regain some semblance of fitness for a sustained period.

All sounds quite positive! Lets hope it continues and I am very glad we got Hodgekiss an extended loan deal with us! Looks like a tidy player.

 

As BB said, it is frustrating that we don't start our season like this, but other teams have blips and slow starts. Just makes our season more exciting  Did Young start? Has he not been very ineffectual of late? Odd that he still seems to be getting a game ahead of others. But most important thing is that we got the three points, 3rd by December could still be on BB

Third in two weeks time, hopefully!!

This season was purely down to the new players that came in.

"Purely"?  Thank God you're here to keep us right.

I know what the word means, thanks. I was just a little surprised to be told that was the sole reason.

 

It certainly is a forum for discussing opinion, just a shame that not for the first time you take a tone that makes your "opinion" come across as if you are saying it as fact.

Young was absent most of the time he was on.

 

Aluko the difference between the teams.  However, he did leave gaps on the left side when he was caught too far forward at times.

 

Hodgekiss was evcellent. A no nonesense player.

 

Sitting back on a one nil lead is not good news though.  Killie changed to a more attcking formation in the last half an hour an opened us up too easily a few times. 

 

Killie are a bunch of complete hammer throwers and, although not a dirty game, there was a lot of fouling from the Killie defence.  One or two might think themselves lucky to still be on the pitch at full time.

Agree with all of that apart from Hogdkiss, I thought he was being torn a new one for the last half hour or so and looked very vulnerable whenever a Killie player ran at him.

That noise i just heard was a nail being hit on the head!

Young was his back up. He was exposed badly at times when there were several Killie players on that side.

True, some of the blame could be placed at Young's door as he was having trouble keeping a lid on the Killie full back. The lad Gibson was running rings round Hodgkiss when it was one on one though, this worries me for the upcoming match against Utd.
