Other managers would have been tempted to throw new signings in, especially when there are no critical fans in the stands! Haunstrup, Rossi, Dikamona, Pinnock, Whitehall and McGowan will get their chance sooner or later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excitement of new signings is they may be superstars, be much better than the folks already “ in the building”. But if it inspires the existing players to new levels just as good; maybe even better as it enhances the quality in the overall squad. Was quite a bench yesterday. And even if haunstrup and McGowan ( and it’s an if in the short term at least) do become starters well all be much more comfortable with the prospect of Millen And waters stepping in on occasion. only Findlay, Burke (and maybe power) are pretty guaranteed to start if fit. We still need the X factor player to make the difference when we are controlling possession against the lower teams. Hopefully another signing to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclean07 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 As soon as we see individual players are doing the business, we need to sharpen the pencils and get extended contracts agreed to protect our investments. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFC Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 A wee bit of reality guys. Celtic have a much bigger squad than us with at least 11 Internationalists in it. Their wage bill dwarfs ours and our fanbase and income is minimal compared to theirs. However, we were composed, stuck to the game plan and nullified them. McGregor said they were awful but he forgets that you can only play as well as the opposition lets you. We didn't let them play and I thought we were very well organised defensively. Well done guys and other teams will be sitting up and taking notice. At this stage in the season I would take a point on Wednesday as Ross County seem to be playing well at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people malign him unfairly, some people react to that and over praise him. It was a good pass, a less physical player than Kabamba would have been muscled off the ball. From where Kabamba received the ball there didn't appear to be any threat but his strength and skill manufactured a chance out of nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamla Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Does anyone know if McKenzie was subbed as a result of injury, or was it a straight tactical swap? Thought Haunstrup looked reasonably comfortable on the ball for his short showing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigguy68 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 We are a solid team. Hard to beat. We lack the guy that can dominate a game, either the provider or the dominant striker that’s a goal a game type. Therefore all games - those away from home in particular - will always be tight. It will likely come down to fine margins. Of course we can win, but we can just as easily lose at this time. Until we find the missing ingredient, a point will always be a decent return in these games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I watched County vs Well and a fair chunk of their game vs Accies. They looked well organised at the back and didn’t give much away. Neither were great games and we played far better in our first two fixtures than either of their opponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAG Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 6 hours ago, Zorro said: It’s odd that McKenzie has played over 200 games for us, under god knows how many managers and is obviously trusted to do a job, yet it’s apparently ok to slate him as the weak link every week, but you can’t say the new guy didn’t make the most of the space he was given. You’d think we were the first team ever to play a player not on his ‘natural’ side. All this talk of “unbalanced” and seeing cutting inside as a flaw is dated horses**t too. With Killie fans, familiarity really does breed contempt. I rate this current team (is certainly more ‘balanced’ than this time last year under AA) and I rate McKenzie, although it would be nice if HE went for a more composed finish in front of goal, he gets into positions and he could get 10-15 goals a year. I think it’s promising both Waters and Millen have stepped up against good teams (we’ve prob played half the ‘good’ teams in the league) from being reserves, or on loan last year. If you were gonna be critical of the current team/season, far from familiarity breading contempt; DB maybe even Jamie McDonald(!) would have saved at least 1 - maybe 2, of the 3 goals we’ve lost this season. Plug that gap and we’re in for a top 6 season I’d say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren’t noticeably worse without him in the second half. I thought Rory had a good 1st half including the Inside pass to Kabamba. He also did a lot of work covering back and neutralising Frimpong. 2nd half I felt Waters and Haunstrup rather got in each other’s way a couple of times - not unreasonable given Haunstrup is also a left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
