Killie boss Jim Jefferies updates shares his thoughts about the
teams league position & form, and some injured players...
On the teams form..."First
and foremost we are looking at a top six slot and then we can think
about Europe. We have had a good
run recently with just two defeats in our last 11 league games.
So
with seven wins and two draws that has seen us pick up 23 points from
33. That's not a bad record. We
have been fairly consistent and, of course, we are disappointed when we
lose, but when you look at the bigger picture we have done well.
We have gone about our business
quietly and collectively. Every-one has worked hard.
There is no doubt that the
turning point came after the defeat by Partick Thistle. We sat down and
had a long talk about it and went from there."
On Craig Dargo..."I
don't know if he will be back this term - it's doubtful.
But there are still 10 games to go and
you never know. "It really depends on how
he recovers, but he will certainly have to
rest.
We have missed him because he is a very
good player. Along with Shaun Hessey, that's good experience we have been
missing for a while. Wee Dargo has had a little problem with the ankle for
a couple of seasons. He had that injury
earlier this season, then it was corrected only for a piece of flaked bone
and scar tissue to be found.
He had an operation last week and now
just needs rest.
At least that is it all done with now and
that will help him in the longer term."
On Gordon Marshall..."There
is no problem, it was just that Marsh was supposed to go and see the
consultant last week. But the
consultant had to delay the meeting for another week.
Big Marsh is doing exercises with the physio in the meantime.
It was just a routine operation for wear
and tear to his shoulder and it's just been frustrating for him."
