So if we use those statistics, then I think I''m pretty accurate about him not starting many games considering he's now had over four years a professional footballer. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 To be fair Boyd is chasing his own targets so every goal counts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you agree that your original point about him not having many professional starts was incorrect? 101 games for a 21 year old is good going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogwai Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I thought it was harsh on Brophy, but Boyd takes the pens. I also liked: Burke telling Jones to get lost when it came to the corners, Dicker and Boyd having a go at JJ for shooting rather than passing when Boyd was clear, and Brophy telling Boyd to pick up his man when Boydy was looking a bit puffed out at a throw in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 It would have been nice to see Brophy get his hat trick but Boyd is our penalty taker so I can understand when was the last time a killie player got a hat trick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinger Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Boydy takes our penalties. Professional sportsmen have to be ruthless if they are to be successful, so nice wee kind luving gestures like letting others take easy shots in your place is just not going to happen. Boydy is our penalty taker --- end of story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you KB is our penalty taker and it was good to see our senior players being totally professional and letting the younger ones know how they felt long may it continue! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killieboy1869 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 With Boyd being so outspoken off he pitch, i expect there were many in the media and beyond waiting to pounce on Boyds performance on the pitch, so the opportunity of a brace would've been too good go turn down. Also (and much more realistically) If Brophy missed we'd be on here talking about crucial goal difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being nice by describing your point as "inaccurate" Starting 38 (approx) games and 18 goals isn’t a bad return, (can you count subs appearances when he could have played anything between 2 and 45 mins) . Why he hasn’t been able to hold down a first team place with either Hamilton, or us at start of season I have no idea but felt he needed a run in the team and he’s been excellent last couple games and the goals are starting to come too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd takes the penalties. This! I was disappointed he did not get his hat-trick along with everyone else. I voted for Brophy as MoTM. But: We are a football team trying to climb the SPFL. Its goal difference we are focused on not getting some young boy a hat-trick. I had more confidence Boyd would score. Nice to see our players fighting over the spot kick and not all trying to hide. I have seen that happen and it's not good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST11DUN Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Correct decision. It doesn’t happen very often but I prefer both our main strikers to be chasing hat-tricks. Well done to all the players today, we were good going forward, Mulumbu looks class. Hopefully Boyd and Brophy can become a partnership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented player. He had "agent" issues at Hamilton last year so hopefully that's all behind him. The last thing he needs at the moment is an agent making silly demands.

historyman Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Boyd's best performance this season by a long way. He needs someone up front with him and Brophy filled the role brilliantly today. Was a very deserved man of a match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree about Boyd being penalty taker and about Clarke’s decision to sub both, but Boyd was breathing out his ass for at least 15 mins beforehand and I would have liked to see Brophy stay on to see how him and Erwin got on and perhaps maybe scored his own third. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
