28th in Europe and only UK team.......


Recommended Posts

That is a great stat. The Scottish press should be all over it as a positive news story but of course it doesn't chime with their ill-informed stereotypical view of Killie. Incredible that we are the only team in Britain in the top 100.

Very impressive for Ajax as well, reaching the Europa final with a young squad.

Well Done Higgy mate firstly for making sure we all acknowledge the achievement on here but also getting the media to take notice 

outstanding and hats of to you when we spend a lot of time debating the negatives and people working tirelessly to get trust membership and TIK sign ups increased things like this only help support the work done by everyone involved and encourage more positive action whenever we can 

this proves what can be done 

tremendous

The futures bright the futures Killie!

Just goes to show how important a job the youth coaches do at the club, you could argue in today's modern football they are more important than the manager, they can shape the style/play of the 1st team without probably knowing they are.

Round of applause for all the work they put in, out of interest who pulls the strings/coaches the youths?

Had a look on the website and as most of you probably know Academy Director is Paul Mcdonald, what a job he and his coaches are doing, 5 players from the academy have made their debuts this year.

Must be a good selling point in attracting promising youngsters when they can see a clear path to top flight professional football, the next stage is to have them as regulars then flog to a mid table English Prem team for 30mil

Onwards and upwards

Great to see. Unfortunate on our part that a percentage are loan players and we may not see the best of them. It's been a bright spot of the season though to see the lads from our own academy force so many of the new signings completely out of the picture with their performances. With Clark's signing policy it was hard to imagine we'd see Taylor play so often(where does he stand in appearances for the club this season? Can only think of Dicker playing more), Wilson play a key role, Hawkshaw and Frizzell feature and getting a teaser of the next group to come through with Morrison, Graham and Cameron all featuring as well.

Hopefully we can tie up our league status this weekend and we are in a position to give the youngsters on the fringes a bit of game time in the final matches. Maybe bring that average age down a bit.
