Shanks wouldn't have got his slight deflection without Boyce. Boyce's vision and running in the build up was exceptional. Unfortunately for us, SJ under Levein did for the most part what we thought they'd do and sit back tight and give us little if any room. This. Boyce looked really up for it right from the off. He looked fitter and hungrier than I’ve seen him for a while. Unfortunately he still can’t hit a barn door at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no rush ti see it repeated. I think Lowry will keep his place but Grant motm in the cup game so maybe not. Yeah, bearing in mind it's that aweful pitch, I think Boyce will drop to the bench. S'pose giving Lowry and Grant another run might be on the cards, as I think at home Killie will surely try and win the game, leaving space in behind for maybe Vargas. Both those players can pick a pass but they will need to do better than against St Johnstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chose the wrong option on at least two occasions when finding a team mate would have had us on easy street. He just slows down play far too much now. Obviously hes good at linking play, but for me he just doesn't have the pace required to really hurt teams. Think he's trying too hard as well, if that makes sense and is clearly desperate to get amongst the goals himself. I would use him from the bench personally. A fresh Boyce amongst tired legs for the last 30mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegie jambo Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 They'll be smarting after the LC defeat so I expect an extra bit of spice in the fixture. McInnes will have them fired up so a strong, combative midfield is a must. Oda must start, Forrest is a waste of space. Another hard fought 1-0 win for us.

gregzy2k7 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I predict 0-0. Mcinness will have them organised and put the boot in. We need to start performing better, as despite the recent wins the performances have been poor Imo. Hopefully we can sneak a 1-0 though. Frankie Kent is due a bullet heading winner against someone.

Bob Loblaw Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Would like to see us give young Forrester a game. He may be raw but he's a natural in that position, don't want to see us persist with Forrest at wing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmiyaHearts Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 It'll be an eye bleeding game, given our style of football this season. Maybe some football will break out in the 90 min but I think 0-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 10 hours ago, kingantti1874 said: System doesn’t work imo Forrest isn’t that great, kingley can’t get past him completely nullifying the whole right hand side of tbe team. Zander Toby Kent Rowles Kingsley Beni Devlin Oda Lowry Cochrane Shanks Yeah, our lack of a meaningful 3rd CB option on the right and an actual RWB is frustrating. I like Forrests workrate, but I'm very skeptical about his decision making and quality of his final ball. Big thing for me though is that we suit a back 3, Rowles looks a million times more comfortable and Cochrane is in a position he can't be exposed as much in at LWB. Its a shame that Toby has proven himself too error prone to be trusted as our RCB in a back 3. His pace and ability to play the ball out of defence should be a huge asset.

Sooks Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I feel like this will be a massive win if we manage it . Difficult opponent away from home but it would be such a momentum game . Four on the bounce would mean we go in to the game vs Rangers in top form with a genuine chance of getting close to them . Could be so pivotal to our season if we just manage a tremendous effort and add that fourth win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 16 hours ago, Carter said: Grant hid in plain sight for much of the 2nd half on Saturday until he was eventually hooked. That's the type of game he should be looking to take a grip of. He's just nowhere near what we need imo. Yep, upgrade required. Certainly won't have been down to not being given a chance. Just hasn't really worked out for him here unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 18 hours ago, PapaShango said: I was disappointed with him on Saturday. However I wouldn't be surprised if he starts on Saturday, I think he is one of the few players in the side who likes the artificial surface, he has always been decent down there and at Livi when others have struggled with it. I might be miles off with that but I wouldn't be surprised if he does. He didn't do a lot wrong at the weekend, just never imposed himself enough for me or got involved. I thought Hoff done what Grant should have been when he came on, carrying the ball forward and breaking the lines. Yeah you might be right, there's every chance he'll start again. Definitely prefer to see Hof in there instead though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are controlling games without setting the heather on fire but can see it coming. Unlike others I thought Motherwell away was a very good performance and could have scored 5 or 6 on another day. 4 league wins on the trot would be the first for a long time?

pettigrewsstylist Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Think we need 2 to win this at least. Forrest not strong enough for this Killie team, brushed off ball far too easily. Potential impact sub only. Tempo of Boyce up top with Shankland will play into their hands i suspect. Pace to peg them back please. Midfielders getting caught in possession in dangerous areas, whilst looking for options, is a concern, as i reckon they will work socks off to close options off. Oda for me, but cant see how that works in a back 3 from start. Suspect we will see Forrest till Natty fit. All change if we go 4 at back of course.

Diadora Van Basten Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Dickinson was the ref who sent off Haring v St Mirren that was later downgraded to a yellow. It is very unusual for us to get Collum v Rangers it’s usually Beaton or Walsh and Collum v Celtic and Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
