Is it possible it's going to be some weird lop-sided 3 at the back with Millen as the third centre half? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetfitter Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Pinnock and Millen?? I really really hope against hope that TW knows something we don’t. Hope for the best but not confident with this selection. Really hope my fears are misplaced. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngonge88 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Pinnock to have a cracker today. He did show decent flashes last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudoun Killie Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Cannot believe McGowan and Mulumbu in particular aren’t in the start sheet for today, baffling.....and if they’re injured I’d rather see Rossi and Burke TBH.....jeeez.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand this but they don’t hit the line - they (Millen in particular) crosses it from far, far too deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to believe anyone would pick either Dicker or Power over Mulumbu for literally any role anywhere in the midfield. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re playing a 4-4-2 then I can see the logic behind this team. Possible debates around whether Burke should be in instead of McKenzie and Mulumbu for one of the midfield two. I’d probably pick McGowan ahead of Millen too. However, it is a balanced team and doesn’t have players shoehorned into positions that don’t suit them which has happened all too often this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Squirrel Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Mulumbu worked best as part of a three that had men willing to do the hard yards to retrieve the ball. Mulumbu I don't think can work in a two for 90 minutes. He can come on and make a difference later on against tired legs if we need it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWnnnnnn! Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Pinnock n Millen put in some cracking crosses, other qualities not so good but we're playing big Laff, get it on his head, let's win a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulumbu is second in our team for distance covered per 90 after McKenzie, so no idea where you get that idea from. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright bemoaned the quality of the crosses last week so he retains Millen and Pinnock just to see if they can be quite as bad again? The old guard of Dicker and Power could get overrun here if they're not on it. At least Kabamba doesn't start. Not filled with optimism by that line-up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week you could hear TW screaming at Pinnock to take on his man rather than holding and looking for an early cross, hopefully it's been drilled into them at training this week. He has proved he can put some decent balls in. Hoping to see a bit of a different player today, he has overall been pretty poor this season but also I think really low in confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barneyboy Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Surprised Burke and Mulumbu are left out especially if the game plan is for quality into box for Lafferty. 2-0 killie, kiltie and Lafferty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvis Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think this will be a game of two very different halves, I'm expecting all the substitutes will be used today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Had a feeling Burke wouldn’t start .Wright wants pace in his squad ,plus Burke hasn’t been up to much lately.Millen is a surprise to me,thought McGowan did OK last week when he came on -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Pinnock may well be a great crosser of the ball, but it’s so much easier to do that 30 yards from the byline not having to beat your man than having the skill, pace and trickery to get to the byline before doing it. I haven’t see Pinnock have that ability or speed to achieve that so far. Happy to be proven wrong today obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanus Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Very much the team I’d have gone with. Apart from McGowan for Millen. And Ibsen-Rossi for Broadfoot. And Mulumbu for Power. And Burke for McKenzie. Not sure about the goalie choice either... Apart from all that, it looks,er, like our strongest team... All of this said in the hope that when I look back at this post at around 16:50, I feel slightly foolish, because despite TW ignoring my superior team selection, Killie are now out of the bottom two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 TW has decided the eleven, I expect it to start tight and try and catch them out, I also think there will be a specific plan for last 25 with several creative substitutes. In TW we Trust -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I’m pinning my hopes on Mitch Pinnock’s new streamlined hairstyle bringing us a change of fortunes. Open the MOTM thread now, I want to get my vote in early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
