piffer Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 6 minutes ago, GrazyKillie said: Millen has been one of our most improved players this season - has been a very good option going forward and links up with Burke very well. He must have one of the best crosses in the league. 1 assist so far. He started well but IMO he’s stagnated since he returned from suspension. Two very high profile errors but still Dyers go to man. McGowan may not be the answer but he’s not had a fair crack. Rossi should feel very lucky to play so well and be bombed out as soon as Millen is back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dyer’s well known for making early substitutions if things aren’t going well. If, by “early”, you mean 70 minutes onwards.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz of the 20/20 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 According to these two on Killie TV its as strong a team as Killie can field. Despite the fact Brophy and Mulumbu on bench, reserve-quality players as full backs and sticking to a system where we have only won one game despite having a successful run at 442. Hopefully the system works but in the past, including previous two games it hasn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I don’t mind the system. My concern at this stage is the personnel. Not sure about the fullbacks although Waters finished strongly on Sunday. Power hasn’t hit the heights in recent weeks and Kabamba has struggled in the last few. The other worry is things are predictable. Dyer likes a small core group. The 11 starting today plus McKenzie and Rossi seem to be his trusted starters. We’ve all got our opinions on how we would line up tonight but I can’t imagine it was overly difficult for Saints to work out how we’d line up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmaccoll Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Waters, millen, watched every game this season. They are not good enough, haunstrup and mcgowan need to be given a run in the team far more potential than the current fullbacks in my opinion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ with that. The manager has been reluctant to give players minutes. Whitehall has sat on his arse the last two games despite us chasing a goal Edited November 6, 2020 by piffer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I think people are being a bit harsh on the fullbacks. I'd say they're average players playing well this season. At some point though do you have to give the other 2 a try to see if they can offer more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee_Eck1979 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I’ll get shot down for this but IMO Dyers only good run has come when he has been forced into changes rather than him opting to mix it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the problem, they are playing as well as they can, they won’t get better. IMO our other options at fullback have a higher ceiling and need to be given a run in the team to show what they are capable of. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of options if things need to be changed. Attacking and defensive wise. Very good to see. MON THE KILLIE Could be argued we’re one player short on the bench as Whitehall seems incapable of getting selected regardless of the game situation, so why’s he there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Anyone on here done their coaching badges care to explain why so many coaches use that kick off. So often you see the long ball up the park either straight out of play or the opposition taking the second ball. Is it not better to keep possession 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
