Bullitt Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Can see us lose by the odd goal in Dundee and win by about three or four at Rugby Park... which is how I see it going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1el Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'm relatively confident, in the fact that I thought we'd have finished bottom after that 3-2 defeat away at County a few months back, so this seems like a bonus opportunity. Both teams are poor, I know he won't but this seems ideal to put Mulumbu in a midfield 3 with Dicker & Power and just have him win the game himself, feel as though he's still got a big performance in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Adam on the radio just now talking about the Scotland squad but also saying they are doing their video analysis on us today. They won’t be planning much for Mulumbu playing and he could be a joker to throw into the pack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the logic of a midfield three but the risk is an isolated Lafferty and an isolated Lafferty would be a frustrated Lafferty and a danger ...... to himself! The one certainty is we need him for the second leg! If central midfield three is the way to go I'd drop Pinnock and give Kiltie and Burke freedom to roam behind Lafferty to give support. That means playing fairly narrow and relying on fullbacks for width. Are the midfield trio mobile enough to provide cover when the fullbacks are caught upfield? There are risks either way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, any 11 we put out with this team is a risk! I'd have Power shadowing Adam, and Mulumbu as the surprise that they won't have planned for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 The front 4 are the only thing that's really worked for us recently. They've pulled us through games where the defence have been throwing it away. Changing formation shouldn't even be a consideration. We're the stronger side, we should be playing to our strengths and that strength is Lafferty with Kiltie off of him and Burke and Pinnock either side. Adam is a good player but we should have more than enough in the midfield to deal with them without starting undoing the progress we've made in the final third. Their biggest threat is us. If anyone is going to win this for them it's more likely to be Doyle throwing one in out of nothing than Adam being unplayable. Also, as bad as our defence is I don't think Ashcroft or Fontaine would walk into it so we should be as positive as we can be in our supply to Lafferty rather than a defensive change up - you'd fancy Lafferty to take a few against them if we attack like we have been for the last 10 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cill Mheàrnaig Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 All being fit, I think the team for Thursday is set. TW has clearly decided that Doyle is the lesser of two evils so he'll be in goals. Waters had his chance v St Mirren and blew it, so again Haunstrup is the lesser of two evils. Broadfoot and Rossi will start as will Millen. Power and Dicker will start in the middle, Pinnock's two goals means he'll be on the left, Kiltie as AM and Burke on the right with Lafferty upfront. Anything else and I'd be surprised. TW isn't suddenly going to bring in Tish or Mulumbu from the start. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I wonder whether Burke will be saved for Monday. Is this is more a McKenzie type game? Do we go on the front foot to win the match or do we start more conservatively to contain? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our strength (if you want to call it that) is going forward so I'd be surprised if we tried to contain at Dens. They'll likely have Cammy Kerr, a right-back by trade, playing at left-back and both the Dundee full-backs struggled with Raith's wide men so for me Burke needs to play from the start. I know he books himself into a hotel before all matches anyway but if needs be get him up to Dundee the night before and give him the best possible rest as along with Lafferty he's going to be the difference in staying up or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly, we are scoring goals just now so let's continue that habit as we all know that we'll concede at the other end. If they score 4, we'll score 5 type of attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellman2010 Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Mitch Pinnock reckons Kilmarnock should be classed as favourites against Dundee. The winger scored two as Killie beat Hamilton 2-0 on Sunday, only for Ross County’s win at Motherwell to condemn them to a double-header with Dundee to save their 28-year top-flight status. Pinnock, who has five goals this season, has experience of last-gasp survival acts after his spell at AFC Wimbledon two years ago. The Dons, all but down by Christmas, lost one of their last 12 games and saved themselves with a final-day draw at Bradford City. Asked if the Rugby Park outfit should be favourites against the runners-up from the league below, he said: “Yes, definitely. “We are the Premiership team, so we should be going into it like that. We are all positive – nobody is thinking the worst. “In the last nine games or so we have scored 24 goals – we shouldn’t be in the position we are. At the start of the season we were throwing away points and it caught up on us. "But the recent form has been really good. “We absolutely have to carry that on into the Dundee games. We’ve been averaging two goals a game. If we can keep it tight at the back, there should be no problems. “At Wimbledon we had to draw to stay in the league. That was similar. We had been 10 points adrift at the bottom at Christmas – it looked a write-off – but we pulled together and managed to save ourselves. That helps. "We’re all experienced in that dressing room, we’re switched on and ready. “It’s a bit of a similar mood to back then at Wimbledon. The boys are all positive. "When everyone is down, then that can creep in and affect you. “But we have been positive since the gaffer came in and we need to carry that on.” Pinnock could have bagged a hat-trick after regular taker Kyle Lafferty handed a 71st minute penalty to the Englishman. But Accies keeper Jamie Smith pulled off a fantastic save to deny Pinnock. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/mitch-pinnock-reckons-kilmarnock-favourites-24142511 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTumnus Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 If the manager decides to manmark Adam then McKenzie is the player for the task after the way he nullified Tavienere against *anger*. Otherwise it will be an unchanged team IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi2 Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Still think Dundee are stronger than us overall at keeper, defence and midfield, with us having the stronger attack. Still have a huge fear of Lafferty being sent off..they will niggle him from.the start so he has to keep the head throughout. If our defence plays the way it has been we are in serious trouble. On the other hand if they can just keep it together for 2 games we have a chance. Still reckon the tie is balanced 50:50 at the moment. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
