Matchday Arbroath Match Fred

[C4mmy31]

[Cill Mheàrnaig]

Very slow in the midfield again. Would have liked Rory in but Alston was never getting dropped after scoring last week.

Fancy us to win but it'll be a battle.

[kerrwmorton]

C'mon Killie. Out the traps early, first goal and then dominate possession. 

[Barbinho]

I thought we’d have seen Stokes on the bench? 

[Killie61]

We really need to start in the front foot and score first, if they score first the pressure will be on the team and I think it’ll show in the performance early goal = confidence

He’s only playing part of a bounce game on Monday.

Wright said he’s to play in a closed doors game midweek first.

[Cill Mheàrnaig]

McGowan has been better in recent weeks so no need to rush Stokes back and possibly aggravate a serious injury.

[Cill Mheàrnaig]

Rab Douglas on the bench for Arbroath... Scenes if there's a goalkeeper injury/sending off and he needs to come on.

With our home form they might get away with playing Michael Douglas. (Kirk’s deed).?

[Scouser2]

Onus on Burke to provide the creativity and hopefully he continues his fine form from last week

On the subject of goalkeepers....

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge but  Derek Gaston, the Arbroath goalie is the Killie youth team GK coach in his day job....

[LH31]

Good luck Killie!

[galbraj]

Same as last week please.  Mon the Killie

My initial thought. Thinking about it though it is arguably our best users of the football in the side so hopefully we can dictate things from there. 

If we find the form we had between the first goal and half time last week no team in the league will cope with us.

Would be the 2nd oldest keeper to feature in a professional match in the UK if he plays.

Oldest is Bobby Geddes who played for Dundee in 2010 aged 49 when Douglas was injured.

STAT

[Pompey Repatriated]

I knew about Geddes. Nuts it was Douglas himself he replaced! 

Good to see an unchanged side

[Killie1984]

It's perfectly set up for Douglas to come on!

Well, it isn't going to be the start of a run.
