Allan Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 How's everyone feeling on the cusp of the new season? Post your prediction where you think Killie will finish here. Should be a laugh when we look back come April-May. Best O Luck Killie! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbinho Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Nervous but confident. If we get a proven striker in, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t win the league. It’s early, I know, but based on yesterday’s results, we look to have the strongest defence in the league. Get it right at the other end and we should be comfortably top come May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lorielus Posted August 1, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Based on the organisation shown by the club so far this season, I predict we'll be leading the league but blow it by simply forgetting there's a match on entirely at least once, forgetting to take our kit to Inverness, and our team bus somehow ending up on the ferry to Arran while trying to get to Hamilton. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie Minogue Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Buzzing for tomorrow. Still need that elusive. proven striker. Get that nailed down and we'll be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F Murray currently our best chance of a goal so a lot depends on how we do getting an experienced goal scorer in. Currently think we are fairly certain of playoffs but not yet convinced we are title winners. Still time hopefully for that to change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All the Wine Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'm dreading tomorrow, hate playing them. It's a real leap into the unknown this season and I think we'll have our fair share of shakey moments. That said, I'll be mighty disappointed if we don't finish in the top 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from some poor play in the buildup to those goals you mention no one is realistically keeping them out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 IF we eventually sign a proven goalscorer , we should finish top ....think TW will be expecting nothing less The decline and misery of past season or more still somewhat hangs over the club, but the huge squad turnover must surely bring a more positive season ahead, lot now rides on these players signed by TW and his managership abilities ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton are in our league but Clyde aren’t and we lost a goal to them. Our only clean sheet (which was wiped out by playing an illegible player) was against a non league side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch14 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Strangest I've ever felt going in to a season. Weird not knowing much about the team or how good they all are. So the usual strong opinions on what the lineup should be etc just aren't there for me. Going to take a good few games for me to get up to speed with our own squad. Feel sort of interested and keen more than super excited or nervous. My relief at just being back in the stadium for the first time is kind of overtaking the "must win the derby" sentiment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH31 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think Ayr will park the bus big time tomorrow. I can see a 0-0 and kickback flooded with negativity in the next day or so 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) We are a striker or two away from being potential league winners. Killie being Killie though, we will leave it until the last game of the season to win it. Edited August 1, 2021 by funky monkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) We’ll finish 1st. 8-10 points in front of 2nd place. I believe TW has been very careful to play his cards close to his chest when it comes to set pieces. I expect it to be a very productive weapon in our armoury when we’re playing for real. I also think the return to three subs works in our favour. We will dominate possession in most games - defending takes a lot of energy and teams will struggle to press to the same extent when they can only make three substitutions.

carpetfitter Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 I am not going to make any predictions. I don't see how I can when we have not yet played a competitive league fixture. We have not tested ourselves against competitors. Although the signings look decent on paper and FM looks a real player, it does not always work out that way in practice. The goalies have not been properly tested yet, although those penalty saves were wonderful. The hoped for incoming striker signing is becoming ever more important. A lot will depend on the quality of that signing and his ability to stay injury-free given our alternatives. Still, we have Scott Robinson to come in. There will be tough opposition. Hamilton will be no mugs. ICT at home will probably be strong. Both Fife teams could be stiff tests. There are teams that will definitely take points off us. I'm confident about tomorrow though. A bit nervous, but that emotion is dwarfed by the sheer excitement of being back at the ToP and seeing the mighty in action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride_of_ayrshire Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 We will finish 1st. Wont be plain sailing but we'll be straight back up. In my opinion we have a far superior squad and manager compared to anyone else in the league. And the funds to change it if it aint working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngonge88 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 If we get a striker we will win the league. If we don't I think we could struggle a bit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrogate Peter Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Should do well but we don't have enough in attack to be completely confident. We saw last season how a defence can start to crumble when a side is struggling to score because of the pressure that brings on the backing. We will certainly have to share the goals around a lot more than we usually do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG5 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Don't know what the outcome from the season will be. In 60 odd years following Killie I just know they will put us through the wringer . Just hopeful we get promoted at 1st time of asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming our defence crumbled because we couldn’t score is utterly bizarre. It’s more accurate to say our forwards were under pressure to score as our defence and keeper(s) were s**t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
