historyman Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Ashamed to say we made it to Annan with 10 mins to spare but with nae jackets, nae umbrellas, nae cover and nae sign of the unbelievable monsoon easing up we didn't go to the game. First time I've ever done that - hope it's the last! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cant understand it, almost any time i go somewhere new i have a burning desire to look at a map.....we are all different though! anyway, back to the football, sounds a better couple of performances certainly having watched partick, hibs and ross county on the televised games it loos like there is some strong competition this year. We could certainly do with a chris erskine in our midfield! We're not the only ones who ain't firing on all cylinders either.... McCann has ordered his players in tomorrow because they were terrible today against a team from the Highland league & Hamilton were supposedly turgid dug s***e against a poor QotS side. While St Johnstone stumbled to a 1-0 win in their friendly according to their fans on P&B. Let's stop the knicker wetting for now at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Annan shop seemed to do a roaring trade in club umbrellas to Killie fans and a few trend setter were wearing bin bags from the pub to keep dry. Boyd has been criticised and a lot of it is fair enough. Some of it is OTT. Today chances were laid on a plate for him. He converted two, forced the keeper into a couple of saves and had one disallowed. It was a lower league opposition but he put the chances away. I still believe we need a new striker and more options upfront. Today proved a bit of a point though. Give Boyd chances within 25yards and he's a threat. That's what we need to do to utilise him best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Everyone has their own opinion on Boyd. Personally I think that most on the forum expect far too much of him. It seems to be that he has to win every ball, run about like a mad man, making tackles, out jumping the opposition and scoring every time he is within 20 yards of goal. What was evident today is that within 10-15 yards of goal he still has the predator instinct. Of course he's not as agile. He's had problems with his weight since he was a juvenile. So why would this issue suddenly change? Get the ball in the box hard and fast and the law of averages says Boyd will poke it in. What else do we want? Today we fannied about too often on the wings instead of getting the ball in the 6 yard box. Yes we need an athletic frontman, that's blatantly obvious. I would think LM is working on it. In the meantime give Boyd a break and treat him with the respect he deserves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkmus Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I think some folk can't get the criticism of Boyd is not personal. It's based on a desire to see a more component striker and therefore improve the team. I don't think he's up to the level of performance required week in week out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ending a sentence with this immediately marks the rest of sentence null and void for me. File it alongside the likes of "RANT OVER!" It's very telling use of wording to try and set your opinion up as undebatable. 3 minutes ago, Craigie11 said: Boyd is finished at the level we need him at,it's not even up for debate. Thanks for the memories. And just as I was typing the start of this post, this reply popped up. It's definitely up for debate, actually. I agree with what appears to be the majority view here that we absolutely require at least one more striker, someone preferably mobile, but Kris has always scored goals. If LM thinks that can continue, then he's got my trust for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was with the money Boyd has made over the years. Sadly I'm a simple kilmarnock supporter with a common sense approach to what is expected of our more senior players. Good night and hopefully in the morning our club have signed a "top flight striker" to replace our current one who isn't fit for purpose. 7 minutes ago, C4mmy31 said: Are you his agent ?

Dave1869 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Broadfoot & O'donnell partenership looks a little vulnerable to me. Early days yet of course however, just feel that they could be exploited for pace and even playing out made some poor decisions i felt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Not only but also, fair play to Annan Athletic for the way they (yet again) treated the Killie support so well. More than welcome in the fitba club, stadium announcer asking the home fans to 'shuffle along' a couple of seats to accommodate more Killie Fans in the main stand when it was raining stair-rods and their willingness and tolerance to put us in the 'Home End', under cover. Not trying to kid anyone, I worked in Annan for thirty plus years so am 'naturalised' and spent most of the day in the company of Annan supporters. Just want to give Annan a wee tip of the hat that the 'matchday experience' was so different and nobody trying to be a jobsworth. Btw ... for the rumour mill ... saw Monty having a good craic with Cammy Bell at half-time ... so that'll be Cammy signed then. I jest but it was nice to see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its making an assessment of a players condition and recent performances and coming to an educated decision that he is below premier league standard in his current form. He is overweight and static on the pitch. There are plenty of other strikers much older than him that could outrun and outperform him. He needs to put the pies down, lose two stone and have respect for the jersey. His weight is a total affront for a player on his wages. Two tap ins against annan anthletic doesnt change that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
