I get the feeling that our luck has ran out for the season, decisions that were going our way are no longer. At the weekend i felt Dundee Utd were diminant for an hour and probably deserved to win. However, IMO the corner for the first goal went out the park and swerved back in. That corner came from a series of corners caused by a dodgy linesmans decision when the ball was nowhere near out. Gros then gets his back leg kicked when clean through on the keeper (at 1-0), we get nothing. Second goal was just Goodwillie wanting to get to the ball more (similarly with Pasca's) good goal. Third goal was eremenko "pussy footing" about the box when we should have simply cleared our lines (again!!) and even the fourth goal, a peach though it was, came from Killie overplaying it at the back. This over playing the ball in dangerous positions is simply suicide football at times and the number of hospital passes to marked players is not good football in anyones book, maybe in the oppositions box!! I really hope that Kenny can get the mantra right and play our football further up the pitch. Id still like to see us finish at least 5th if not push Dundee Utd for fourth this season. Cmon Killie seasons not over yet. KTID
I would like to be associated with the words of the previous speaker. In addition I would like to proffer further reasons, not excuses, for our most recent failure; at the Arabdome. In my opinion an untested central defence partnership of Pasca and O’Leary led to the loss of the early goals. (Unsure of the marking responsibilities) It did not help that Pasca had been out for two weeks as his lack of sharpness was clearly exploited by a highly mobile Arab attack. Further unplanned changes at half time following injury to both O’Leary and Bryson led to several positional and tactical changes led to us losing two early goals in the second half. To support this contention; I noted that as the whistle blows to start the second half young Kelly is asking the Killie bench what his role is under the new set up. As a side issue on this before kickoff Craig Bryson complains about a stomach/groin problem to the coach Robertson who refers it onto the Doctor. He spirits our Captain away, perhaps for a painkilling injection. Was King Kenny aware that the heart of the team was not 100%. Was there a plan B thought thru before the inevitable inability to continue was broached at halftime? Anyway let’s hope communication improves between playing partnerships and between coaches and the caretaker Manager in time for the visit of the Jam tarts at 3PM on Saturday. I believe that the better prepared that you are, the better your luck. Yours in fitba
