Baz 's Dee Post Match Thoughts...

Barry Mclaughlin talks about a variety of topics after Sat's home win over Dundee.....

Kris Boyd not being in the Scotland U-21 Squad..."I don't know why Kris hasn't featured more at international level. He has been in and out. He wasn't even in the Scotland Under-21 squad for their friendly recently. I don't know if playing for a team like Kilmarnock counts against him. I think maybe the boys who play for Old Firm teams or Hearts or Hibs, the so-called bigger city clubs, get more of a chance. But Kris has got a big future in front of him if he keeps working away. I see no reason why he can't go all the way to the top.  His performance on Saturday was the way it's been going for him this season. The fans love Kris and every time he comes on he gives the place a lift. He got another start and did well."

On Saturday's Performance... "We could have scored a lot more goals with the quality of play from Danny, Eric and Kris. They're very good players. Maybe they haven't had the chances this season they would have

liked. However, we got a good win against Dundee and hopefully that will give everyone a bit of confidence. Then everyone will say: 'What crisis?'"

On Danny Invincible... "Danny's main strength is his pace. He is very, very quick. I was speaking to him last week and he had the chance to be a sprinter or a footballer when he was younger. That shows. He is good in the air as well.

On Eric Skora... "Eric is a good all-round footballer. He is good to give the ball to as you know he will do something with it. He has got great attributes. As a defender you are up against these guys in training and it is very difficult.

On the Rest of the Season..."I know the players we have got and I know the players other teams have got and I think we can finish in the top six.
Our injuries have been horrendous. But, hopefully, we can get a clean run and get everyone back fit and pushing for places now."
