I blame our 'short' international break. Yip, what fans should do is blindly accept a blatantly ridiculous situation, completely forget how bad this guy was as recently as a matter of weeks ago and not say a negative word against the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanders is the exception. Build a solid spine and try get the flair/goal threat in next. Quite happy so far I cant say anybody agrees with me but it is my belief that any team woukd need a lot better than "solid" to climb out if the Championship. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekblue Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Solid as opposed to weak. Solid means strong and dependable. I'd sat that is what you want as a defense. I agree you dont necessarily need solid in your front line, perhaps a bit of aggression and flair are the qualities you are after to out manoeuvre other teams solid back line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Looking at the clubs we will face, they will all be solid. Every game will be a cup final, other teams raising their level against the 'big' club. I'm sure Tommy will get there, but yet to see the kind of signing that's going to make a real difference, put fear into our opponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Board owe us, there can be no penny pinching in our recruitment process, we need to have our top eleven in place before the first games, these games need to be won to allow us to get into a rythym. This will create a fresh demand for ST’s before the season start. Speculate to accumulate has never been so true at Rugby Park, the fans have so far dug deep, over to you Board. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair assumption. The better players will be gambling on offers in the hope of maximising earnings, we will just need to be patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 2 hours ago, Skora11 said: You really don’t need to have been great at something to be good at coaching it. There are numerous examples of some of the worlds best coaches never having played at a good level (Mourinho, Sarri, Nagelsmann etc). Also many of the best golf coaches in the world never played golf at an elite level. We continually have an opinion on football and think we know better than current football managers etc yet having nowhere near the same experience. As much as Colin Doyle was absolutely terrible last season, in the past he has played for his country and at the top level in England. I’m sure he would have worked under some top coaches and would have learned a thing or two. Ideally would I want him to be signing? Not at all. However, if he is to be signed as a coach (that can play in an emergency) we’ve just got to hope he’s better at coaching than he is at playing now. Just look at your last sentence “we’ve got to hope he’s better at coaching than he is at playing now”. Oh my god, have we learned nothing from last year? Despite learning how critical that position is we are still prepared to take a flyer on the goalkeeping coach. In addition, only don’t we know if he will be a good coach we do know he isn’t a good player. In fact, if you were to say to the Killie fans who would you least like to be our goalkeeping coach I’m sure Doyle would be fairly close or actually top of the list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post killie billies pal Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 A Backroom Staff appointment won’t get the same scarf above the head press that the others have. TW wants him as a coach, that’s good enough for me. Just asking, does anyone actually think Doyle deliberately let those goals and penalties in, he was probably trying his best at a time in his career when he was past his best. Does worry me a bit the way humans can be castigated so severely on here and many other sites. If he’s chosen to coach then cut him some slack, he may well be very good at it. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last point on this but after the St mirren game I switched off completely for a rew days but still couldn't get out my head how little effort he made in the shootout. After a week I thought ill watch it again and make a short montage of the five penalties he let in but found that the recording had cut off because it had went beyond the scheduled length of programme. So maybe my memory is playing gahes but if I remember correctly he never actually dived for a single penalty, basically just wobbled from side to side. I may be wrong but I have no way of checking. I genuinely believe the vast majority of us on this forum would have made more of an effort than he did. Which is one of the reasons I can't imagine him attempting to actually coach a keeper. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. We try to give the benefit of the doubt to the professionals who actually play the game but that penalty display was genuinely the most depressing effort I've ever seen. It's one thing to have a few blunders here or there and maybe not be the best technical goalkeeper (like Rogers) but I think that was the moment that was really the nail in Doyle's coffin. Although apparently TW might bring him back from the dead. Hopefully the extent of his role if he does come back is mainly setting up the GK exercises and organising the training schedule rather than actually being the source of knowledge and wisdom for our new keepers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow!! How wrong was I! Bachmann the best Kilmarnock goalkeeper in my lifetime Because of how good Bachmann ended up, people have a bit of a romantic memory of when he was here. The reality was after the Hun game he got a right hard time for not being Jamie MacDonald for quite a long time. There's this guy who sat near me that was on his case constantly to the point where I had to have to mention it to him eventually. Bachmann's big monster kicks that usually ended up with the other goalie got absolute pelters for weeks before people finally came to terms with the fact that he was a far, far superior goalkeeper.

kfc_superteam Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 As people have previously touched upon. There doesn't seem to be many keepers out there that are of the quality required that we can bring in. It is a key position though and was one of the leading factors in us going down. A goalkeeping gaff of which we had plenty can undo all your hard work in an instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, we all know the analogy, if a, striker misses a sitter or a midfielder plays the wrong pass then its frustrating but it doesn't generally cost their team a goal. But it's more than just goalkeeping blunders, the defence have to trust the keeper, numerous times last season a defender would clear for a corner because clearly there was no faith in either of the keepers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWnnnnnn! Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I honestly still say that Burke n Lafferty are the only players who deserve to still be playing for us. The lot should have been jettisoned, the lack of heart, and use to the team, was astonishing and should be weeded out of our club. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
