For however route one it was, that 2nd goal was beautiful. Flick on from Kabamba and some finish! There is a bit of a buzz back about the club 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyH80 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Tonight shows exactly why Brophy needs a strike partner. Excellent show from both for the winner. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Did it all for the cause tonight. Kabamba has been a real surprise package. Brophy in the last few weeks is like a different player. Playing without pressure. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocket Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Kabamba was jumped over all night and then in my opinion wrongly carded, so to keep battling to the end shows a great attitude and it paid off 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKtid Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Kabamba looks genuinely buzzing to have the opportunity to play at this level. Had most of his career in non league. He's put a power of effort into every game and been a cracking signing so far. Might not score a barrel load this season but between him and brophy they have 7 goals since turn of the year. Such a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cumbrian Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 It was noticable that Brophy was on his bike as soon as the big man jumped. He knew there a good chance he would get the flick on and was ready. Big change from earlier in the season when he seemed to be in his heels every time the ball was flicked on to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Portsmouth signed Lowe, they were wise enough to sign Kabamba too as the creator of many of Lowe's goals. As it happened, it didn't work out for Kabamba at Pompey - just one start - while Lowe was a great success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This could be interesting Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Love this guy, strong, committed and the perfect foil for Brophy, only a few games in has for me been the catalyst for Brophy returning to goal scoring front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinger Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Kabamba is beginning to look like the class acquisition of the whole Scottish League window sequence. Other Scottish teams are maybe realising they've missed a trick. Quality not quantity is always the winning formula. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Eamonn Brophy insists he isn’t yet contemplating a Scotland call-up next month despite his eye-catching return to scoring form with Kilmarnock. The 23-year-old’s late winner against Rangers at Rugby Park on Wednesday night was his fourth goal in his last three league outings for the revitalised Ayrshire side. Brophy is sure to be on the radar of Scotland manager Steve Clarke, his former boss at Killie, ahead of the Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Israel at Hampden on 26 March. Clarke handed Brophy his Scotland debut against Cyprus last June, then drafted him in as a late replacement for the injured Lawrence Shankland for the Scots’ last match against Kazakhstan in November, when he was an unused substitute. "Scotland is not on my mind at the moment, Kilmarnock is,” said Brophy. “If I am scoring here and doing well, it’ll take care of itself. It’s been a massive privilege to be involved with my country, but I don’t want to think too much about it at the moment.” Brophy puts his improvement in recent weeks down to his burgeoning partnership with Nicke Kabamba, Killie’s January signing from Hartlepool United, who provided the assist for the 88th-minute goal against Rangers. “Nicke has helped me a lot,” said Brophy. “He’s been brilliant for me. Last season, I think I played my best football alongside Greg Stewart and it’s been good to get some help with another striker. He’s taken some of the pressure off me and he needs to take a lot of credit. The boys behind us have been terrific, too, but Nicke has been a massive help for me.” Brophy, who has now scored eight goals in all competitions this season, hopes to carry momentum into Sunday’s home game against Hibs when a victory for Kilmarnock would see them leapfrog the Easter Road men into the Premiership top six. “We look forward to Sunday now as that’s another massive game,” he added. Hibs is just as important as Rangers to us. I hope it can ignite the season. It was a massive result on Wednesday, but it was only three points. “We’ve been excellent in the second half of the season so far. Hopefully, it can continue. We don’t get carried away and we’ll keep trying to move forward.” Brophy, who began his career at Celtic’s youth academy, knows his goal against Rangers would have been relished by supporters of the eight-in-a-row champions just as much as it was cheered by the Killie fans at Rugby Park. “I was getting a few texts, from Celtic mates, on the day of the game,” he said with a smile. “But that’s not my focus. My focus is Kilmarnock and we were delighted with a massive win for us. I was absolutely delighted to score at the end against Rangers. The most important thing was the three points and the boys are buzzing. There’s no better feeling than scoring a goal when the team wins, especially against the Old Firm. "I was hoping I’d get an opportunity at some stage in the game. Against the Old Firm, you have to defend a fair bit and I was dropping towards that midfield line, but I was hoping something would fall for me. "After going behind in the first half, I thought the boys were excellent in the second half and we just needed to concentrate on ourselves. We showed great character.” (The Scotsman). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
