mscjambo Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Thought Grant was poor to be honest. Had some nice touches but decision making at times was poor.. Thought he fell out the game badly. Kent and Vargas best two for me today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull's-eye Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Kent was out best player but didn't think many had a bad game tbh. Dexter was isolated down the flank which is common with our rather predictable style of play. Shanks was our worse player by a mile, not for the 1st time this season. Zero issue with that with his goal return. Usual issue for me is the nonsensical build up, we score from a long ball and look decent on the counter yet spend the majority of the game waiting for a slide rule pass that will put in the invisible striker that we have. We are were we are, 3rd best team in the league without really trying very hard imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked like he lacked sharpness - they used to talk about players being ‘jaded’ after international duty, and the word seems about right here. He never seemed to get the ball cleanly - it kept getting stuck under his feet. But he worked his socks off all game nonetheless, and provided the cross for the goal.

Debut 4 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Clark 8. Wonder save kept us on course at the time. Lembikisa. 5. Erratic game. Nervous as the game wore on. Cochrane. 5. Suddenly off form a little. Use of ball uncharacteristically inconsistent. Kingsley 7. Part of a defensive unit holding it together for us just now. Kent. 8. Walked back in and showed no rustiness whatsoever. Dominant display. Beni. 6. Jus typical Beni without being overly influential. Tait. 6. Tidy start. Got some expected mistakes. Some great movement not spotted by his team mates. Grant. 6. In line for a 7 or 8 if he had a good second half but fell out of it. Forrest 6. Hard work but lacked end product. Needs to find himself in better positions to hurt teams. Vargas 7. The laddie just gives his all every time and not lacking ability. Never gives up the chase. Shankland. 6. Tried to make things work but it didn’t come off. Sloppy with some bread and butter passes around the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vladisacoward Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 All were relatively poor today apart from Kent.

Little rusty Devlin - 5 - Did everything Tait didn't Atkinson - 3 So so Oda - 2 - Little time Your mark for Tait tells everyone you don’t know football. Was our best player in the first half. Passed and moved. More then anyone else did. Very very difficult when both teams tried to smash the ball long for 90 mins. He was very tidy on the ball.

OTT Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Zander 8 - Outstanding save to keep us in the lead earlier in the game. Gutted he didn't get his clean sheet, he deserved one. Dexter 4 - Really poor. Didn't offer anything at either end of the pitch. IMO could have done better at the goal, backed off instead of pressed. Kent 8 - Like Zander, had a very very good game. At times it feels like he IS our defence. Kingsley 6 - Was okay, but when he brought the ball forward he wasn't seeing forward passes that were on. Cochrane 5 - Didn't offer much going forward and his set pieces should see him in the ****ing Hague. Tait 6 - thought he was fine but did fade in the 2nd half Beni 6 - Lost the ball a few times Grant 5 - Nothing he did came off. Lots of overhit & underhit passes. General lack of composure. Forrest 4 - Works hard but thats it. Not of the required quality. Shankland 5 - Bad day at the office. Good assist though. Vargas 6 - extra point for the goal. Don't think he was particularly great either. All in all, our attack struggled massively to break down Killie. Thats not a slight to them, both Celtic and Rangers have struggled with that task too. They're hard to beat, very difficult to break down and through Armstrong & Kennedy offer a huge threat down the wide areas along with competent strikers that can and will convert chances. That said, I am pretty disatisfied with the quality of our attacking play. Its disjointed, lacks composure and I think we suffer when Shanks has to drift as there is no one good enough to fill the gap he leaves. We did have half chances that better decision making could have seen converted. Getting Spittal and Dhanda (and McKay back properly) into this team will be huge.

Chuck Berry Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It was good to see Tait start today. As per the ratings he started well, chased and harried with a few nice touches however was also a bit loose with his passing a couple of times. The important thing was he never hid, always wanting the ball and looking for space. That's great to see. Another step in the learning experience for him.

Cruyff Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Clark 9 - won us the point in the end with a world class save. Dexter 4 inconsistent and to be expected. Great prospect, wasn't his day. He'll get pulled on the goal and hopefully he learns from it. Kent 9 motm Kingsley 7 as always Cochrane 6 had a good first half Beni 7 solid Tait 6 did alright. Just a bairn. Grant 5 he's not my Jam at all Forrest 5 wasn't his day Shanks 7 wasn't his best overall but created chances for the team. Vargas 8 he'll be a hero for us one day Rowles - 6 McKay - 6 Devlin - 5 Atkinson - n/a Oda - n/a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
