Dieter's Heeder Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 That was a sensational 20 minutes or so from the lad. He was also very good in the short time he was on against Celtic and could have had himself a couple of tap ins if he was played in during our counter attacks. He's bursting a gut to get himself involved and the talent we knew he had is beginning to show. Gutted Brophy picked up another injury but the way Erwin has came back since the winter break makes me think he's ready to step in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTIDanny85 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 He definitely had some good spells but still lacks that killer threat for me. That one bit of play when he went past 2 or 3 Dundee players was encouraging and great to watch. Hopefully he can capitalise going forward and get some goals. Get the impression he could be like Brophy, once starts scoring he will find a bit of form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fankle Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Beautiful play for the equaliser. Great to see from him, it's been a while since he's impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiestevo Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 He almost single handedly created the chance that Boyd scored from and was a major catalyst overall in our second half resurgence. He seemed to get a lot of joy when picking the ball up in wide areas as he did back in his Motherwell days when he scored a few against us. Hope tonight gives him the added bit of confidence to really push for a place in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thought he looked better with Boyd than he has when replacing him. Boyd as the focal point gave Erwin the option to exploit what he thought were weak areas of Dundee. Pealing onto the fullback because he knew he could take him in the air. Dropping into areas behind their midfield where space opened up. He doesn’t get the chance to do that when tasked with leading the line. He really looked like the player who shone for Motherwell tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie's Dad Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thought on Saturday he looked as if he’d lost some weight. Probably the reason his performances have picked up. Hopefully now can kick on and prove to be a decent signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casual observer Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I think we now know he’s far more effective as a winger or no.10 rather than a Boyd alternative - because there is only one Kris Boyd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 He was outstanding. His hold up play, pressing and vision were sublime. I feared we would struggle when Btophy went off only to find Erwin coming on busting a gut to prpve he deserves that spot in the team. Great to see from him and hopefully he gets a start at the weekend for his efforts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4mmy31 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 According to SSC we saw the Lee Erwin he's been seeing in training for the last 6 weeks. If he played like tonight consistently, he'll be like having a new signing in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) He was written off far too early by some of our fans. He was off form, he wasn't suddenly a bad player. Glad to see signs he is getting past it Edited February 14, 2018 by bute-killiefan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanerba'Tam Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Again shows Lee McCulloch had an eye for a player, such as Erwin , Brophy, Power, Broadfoot, O’Donnell etc who are all turning into stalwarts in the current team. Unfortunately he just couldn’t do the next stage i.e. make them perform on the park. Scouting seems to be his forte as opposed to coaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKtid Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thought he was sensational when he came on. I've noticed in recent weeks how the players coming off the bench look really hungry as they must realise they don't get straight into the team and need to work for their place and prove themselves. Erwin and Wilson both did that. It will be harsh on Erwin if he doesn't start next week but with Jones back, he might be stuck on bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 There's an old biddy who sits behind me in the Main Stand who has been consistently furious and disgusted with Kilmarnock, in equal measure, for more than twenty years. My Father and I still nickname her the "Lauchlan-critic" due to her irrational and sustained hatred of erstwhile CB Jim Lauchlan - and as you might expect she's been pretty quiet of late. I walked past her on Dundonald Road last night moaning her face off about how Lee Erwin got MoM... Admittedly it's strange to see a player on the pitch for 40 minutes pick up the champers, but for me it's impossible to underrate his performance. I thought he was absolutely excellent, and his work for the two goals in the second half was outstanding. For me Gary Dicker was cruising to MoM when he was taken off, and I'd probably have given it to O'Donnell ultimately - but there's so obviously a player in there when it comes to big Erwin. If this is what it takes to get his confidence up, he's as good as a new signing for the run-in. The set-up for Boyd's goal in particular was absolutely first class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I thought Erwin was the stand out option for MotM regardless of how long he was on the pitch. Completely changed the game for us, gave us a bit extra between midfield and attack that we were missing. Dropped deep, put a lot of work in to win the ball and then drove forward. Strength in the air was excellent, link up play was also superb. Did very, very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 He was tremendous - I fancy him to score on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 When Brophy went off I thought we'd struggle as I didn't think Erwin was mobile enough to help Boyd press their back three. Shows you what I know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFC Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 MacDonald SOD, Broadfoot, Greer, Findlay Mackenzie, Wilson, Mulumbu, Jones Erwin Boyd. Against Motherwell. Incidentally, Manager and Assistants from Thistle, Hamilton, Motherwell, Falkirk and John Brown (who is he with now?) all at the game last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
