skygod Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) First 25 mins or so were pretty unimpressive but the first goal settled things down. Bonus to get the second just before half-time. Started the second under pressure but saw it through without conceding for a change. Right substitutions made at the right time. More positive team selection. The St Johnstone match could have been like that, even allowing for the red card. Waters looks weak link to me and I can’t see why Haunstrup isn’t starting at LB. Dikamona and Ibsen Rossi did pretty well and the young man will he pleased to win 4-0 on his professional debut! Even Rogers was gaff free, I think. Lots of good link-up play going forward - Kiltie made a difference and Tshibola again was outstanding. He needs to show Mulumbu again who is the main man! Brophy needs to rein in his shooting on sight - it’s amateurish. Edited August 29, 2020 by skygod -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would not have been in my side nor kiltie. But credit where it’s due both did fine today. Brophy still overrated, very average at this level but I judge strikers in goal scoring and he scored today so well played that man. -12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works once in a blue moon and is detrimental to the team every other time so he definitely needs to reign it in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Street Roll Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 We’ll probably play better and lose but a great win to get. 4-4-2 suits our strengths much better. AT bossed the midfield and NK was a constant threat up top. Nice to win comfortably and with a clean sheet as a bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieDIV Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I thought we were sitting far too deep in the second half, but even with Utd's possession and corners I didn't really think we were going to concede. We looked very dangerous on the counter as well - the subs made a big difference in the last 15 minutes. Haunstrup looks a pler, it won't be long before he replaces Waters at left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we settle on best back line and with mulumbu in top gear we are one “top” and I mean top forward from being decent. Findlay and mulumbu are the galacticos. Need a top forward. Griffiths would be my bank buster but Stewart would be welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCM Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Superb result, never saw that coming. Having got first win we need a wee run to get the confidence up. Need to play two strikers more often, especially at home, I would have liked to have seen one of the other two strikers come on in place of Kabamba for last 10 minutes. Waters does nothing wrong in the game, sets up first goal too, but he never seems at ease in a game. Brophy is infuriating at times, other players must be raging at him at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggy Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Absolutely marvellous. So happy for them. They've deserved a more from the season and this could really give them a shot in the arm. Thats as good a goal i can remember st rugby park. Unbelievable. And mulumbu coming on as well. All in all, a perfect saturday afternoon.

piffer Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Happy with that. Result and performance A bit slow to start but once we got going we looked decent. Most pleasing was we were clinical in attack and solid enough to weather the storm in defence second half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bute-killiefan Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Great result and performance. Monkey is off our backs, hopefully we can kick on. I think I'm more delighted at the clean sheet than the 4 goals! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should look at Kiltie and see what can be achieved when you don’t try and shoot all the time like a kid at 5s.

And he lumped it straight past goal. Bit of composure needed still - but his movement and business causes so many problems 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the potential but it’s unfulfilled. But he scored. And I’ve been critical on his goal return. Other folks say he runs about and causes pressure for centre backs etc. But he should be judged primarily on goals. He scored in a good win today. So well done and hope it breeds confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily his best game for Kilmarnock. Fell over in the first half allowing his man a clear run on goal. Twice tried to volley clear with his left foot in the first half when he should have used his right. Made a mess of both. Needs to be able to use his right foot. Had a fresh-air shot with his left foot on the goal line in the first half. Lots of passing errors. Knocked over easily, which I don't think many did to Greg Taylor. Needs to be more solid. Did well for the first goal - surprisingly, since so many had been criticising him for offering nothing going forward.
