kfc_superteam Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Sadly not the same player after the injuries. He made the odd appearance last season but sadly showed nothing. We have increased the quality of the squad and unfortunately he is probably well down the list. It is a shame but we have to accept sometimes that players we bring in can be better than home grown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Could be a lot of potential upheaval in January. The loan deals for Ndjoli and Enobakhare expire then. JJ could potentially be sold to avoid him signing a pre contract or because he has signed a pre contract. Kiltie, Thomas, Frizzell all seem to be in the wilderness with the latter two hardly shining in the lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 If we're still in the top four I would be tempted to hang on to JJ even if he did sign a pre-contract, we're not going to get that much for him in January anyway. If he goes I would imagine SC would want to hold on to Ndjoli or Enobakhare for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I trust Clarke's judgement so if this is true, so be it. Greg has been a great player for us, not least in the all important game vs Falkirk, so will always remember him fondly if he is moving on. As others have said, when he was our best player, it was in a poor team. It just shows how far we've come that he can't even get a look-in now. He's been very unfortunate with injuries, so for his sake I hope he can turn his career around, whether here or elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanM1869 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 It's sad to see with a player that has came through the youth ranks but I think the major injuries and lack of game time that goes with them at a vital development age have hampered his progress, it's telling that he had a full pre season under SC and has still yet to get any real game time resulting in him no even making recent squads. In saying that he is still only 21, a loan for the rest of the season to the right team where he would be able to get a run of games would maybe give him a chance to prove himself 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I would only be happy with Kiltie leaving (use the word happy loosely) if Stewart was signing permanently. With JJ, Bright, DT23, Stewart and Ndjole all potentially not at the club next season, it leaves us short both in wide areas and in that number ten role. It's baffling we offered Kiltie a two year deal to tell him he's surplus to requirements a few months later. If he does go, I wish him nothing but the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 The manager gave Greg a two year contract last season,hardly likely he is going to tell him to go less than a year later .Lot of loan players here and Jones who will be off shortly .Greg will be back in the team before the end of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Squirrelhumper Posted October 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) 10 hours ago, Bobby14 said: He’s hardly kicked a ball in 3 or 4 years and won’t be missed. A good player in a bad team, an avarage player in a good team. 3 or 4 years? I suggest you check your facts instead of being over eager to slag one of our players who probably kept us up one season and has been incredibly unlucky with injuries. For starters, the Falkirk play off game was just over 2 years ago. He then got injured in the final match of the following season May 2017 after being out for 6 months with a serious injury. Christ he only made his debut in May 2013 aged 16 and has managed to play almost 90 games for us, scoring 10 goals and missing almost a full year with 2 shocking injuries. Not bad for somebody who has been injured for 4 years allegedly eh? Edited October 24, 2018 by Squirrelhumper 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltie scored more goals in one game that season than Smith did his full Killie career. And that's a FACT. Kiltie more or may not leave but you're being incredibly harsh on him.

Gaz of the 20/20 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm a big Greg Kiltie fan but he hasn't contributed much for a while now and can't argue with the manager telling him he's surplus to requirements. When a new manager comes in he will judge players by what he sees, Clarke obviously doesn't fancy him for whatever reason and I can't see when given the chance that Kiltie has done anything to prove he should be a starter. I don't think running riot in a playoff game against Falkirk 2 and a half years ago would be enough to convince Clarke he should be playing. It is disappointing for the fans and obviously him but a move might do him good, I would have preferred him going out on loan but hopefully his career pushes on with his next club (if he does indeed leave) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I like Greg I think he is capable of playing passes that not many players in our squad can see. Injuries have killed him for nearly two years and he's currently not getting a look in. I am a big fan of him and what he has done for our club in some of the tougher periods in last couple of years. Unfortunately he's struggling to make the bench at the moment and by not going out on loan it means he's barely getting any game time. If you were to ask me though would I rather Kiltie or Stewart I'd have to say Stewart. Hopefully Kiltie can feature at some point in next few months or find an option elsewhere that he can shine. He's a good player to be not getting in match day squads. Still young and has new 2 year deal so may come back in, rumours can be wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKtid Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'd have him go out on loan in January and see how he get's on. If he rediscovers his form then fantastic for us and the player, if he struggles then we have a decision to make. Like SH says his performances under Lee Clark saved us that season and he was class in the playoff game. Certainly needs games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killieboy87 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Kiltie was a great player for us... in a truly awful team. I don't think we'll ever find out how he would have fared in a good team as I fear injuries have robbed him of that chance. I certainly think he needs a move to have any chance. Perhaps SC gave him the new contract as he didn't think he would land the quality of player that he did in the summer? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcr0 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 We seem to have a large squad with a good few players not getting close to match day squads. Killie unfortunately one of those . If SC reckons he can get a Greg Stewart or similar to play number 10 role then maybe better for Killie to move on. Really like him as a player but if he isn’t in the managers plans he needs to find a club where he gets a regular game. I am surprised we didn’t lose more squad players in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
