This will be another tough game on a poor pitch but mind you we played on a poor pitch yesterday (what on earth has happened to our bowling green!). I think we could take 2500-3000 to this game which would be amazing. COYW

Its quite fun now when the opposition go down to 10 men. Before we'd not make the most of it and struggle, but now its pretty much game over for them. We just pop them off the park. 73% possession yesterday.

FAFO

agree - what a time to be a Well fan. The most entertaining football in most of our living memories , fabulous league record and fingers crossed for another cup run. We're only 12 points away from securing 4th in the league. Keep the good times rolling.

Saturdays can’t come quick enough at the moment.

100% agree with all of this. Especially McCann. I know they are in a relegation dogfight, but they were leaving the boot, shoulder and anything else they could land on our players all game. The fact Walsh let so much of it go is quite ironic when you see tge 2 yellow cards Lowery got. He was far from the worst offender. Pleasing to see us get the better of that kind of football, just as we have just about everything else that has been tried to stop us this season. If we hadnt thrown away so many points before clean sheets became a thing, we would undoubtedly be in a title race. For now though, Europe and a good Cup run beckons.

Good post as usual Joe. I hope we can take a large travelling support to add a bit of atmosphere.

The next 2 games wont define our season. But if we can win them both it will certainly put is in a really strong position in the run in to the split. Livvy are a tough team to play against, but the league doesnt lie and there must be a reason they havent won since August. We are much further along the road than we were when we went there last time out, so I expect a much better performance. If we can keep another clean sheet we should have enough about us to take at least one chance and win the game. Top 6 is within our grasp. We just need to go take it. After that we can start looking up the way!

We thoroughly deserved our win yesterday and I enjoyed it apart from the first 20 minutes or so when we were caught a bit cold by Killie's tactics. Over the piece though we played some lovely football and scored well worked goals. Our leading cushion allowed JBA to practice more rotation and bring on Thor, Luca Ross and young Rocco McColm, none of whom disappointed. Very early days but Thor looks as if he'll fit well into our system. A real team performance but I thought that Just, Sparrow and Fadinger and Priestman stood out just a little bit more. The latter was my MOTM for his constant movement and making himself available. Whilst individuals are important of course its really good to see a successful system in which rotation makes minimal difference. In past seasons if one or two star players were injured, the whole system was compromised. The one down side for me was Killie's style. Outwith our control of course, but it left a bad taste. Going out to deliberately injure opponents is not for me. I can just about thole Alexanderball and Kettleball but McCannball is not for me. That and extreme pettiness reflects badly on them. One example of that was when there were 2 balls on the pitch and the ref allowed us to take a quick free kick; the Killie player could easily have tapped the redundant ball out of play but instead chose to kick it into the middle of the action area causing play to stop. That and a total unwillingness to retreat 10 yards at free kicks. Thats down to weak refereeing and questionable management from Neil McCann. All that shouldn't detract from a good performance, big win and large home crowd. Its great to be a Dosser these days.

As many have said we were spoilt for choice yesterday. I thought SOD, Just, Fadinger and Slattery were all excellent, but has to be Priestman for me, he’s slotted in like he’s been playing there for us for years, a class act!

Thought the pitch is looking very poor.

In hope so!!! Going to have to work for it, as in play our style of football and play it well, taking our chances when they come along. Could be another great weekend for us in making gains on teams around us. If we can take 3 points then we will be improving our position with respect to at least 2 of these 4 teams. Hibs v Rangers Celtic v Falkirk.

Keep up, the beeb never get their facts right, sport or news. It's written on yer tv licence for all to see, if anyone actually has one now adays. It was announced as 7,200 odd at the game 500 killie fans.

Plastic pitch again Nae bother at the end it’s 3 points for the Steelmen

Thor had a great game when he came on Stama was a bit better than he has been.

Great to see Oscar doing so well. He may be a chance for the Australian World Cup squad if he continues his upward trajectory.

Vote went to Priestman but could have just as easily gone to Longelo for marauding runs and crosses, Slattery for all round play and sublime pass for Just goal, Just for all round play and actually shooting properly 🤣, Said for the joy and windups he brings to every game. Special mention to Rocco McColm (not McColn) who had a very assured cameo and looked so chuffed at the final whistle.

I agree about about Bjorgolfsonn. He'll be a handful for defences with his height and physicality and offers us something different. I read somewhere that he's not a 30 yard screamer type of striker but rather one who can make space and lay the ball off for others but is also dangerous in and about the goal area and knows where the net is. I suspect his assist yesterday for Fadinger will be typical of his style. Agree too about young McColm. Great to see another youngster get his chance and he was very lively and comfortable when he came on.

To be fair he looked a bit more lively than last week and played a nice lay off which started the build up for fourth goal. dont see us playing with the two of them up front unless its a last throw of dice chasing a game.

From purely a footballing perspective Polworth could probably fit into our team (took his “goal” well today) but agree his personality/hangups would absolutely not - classic case of self-sabotaging a career.

Thought Just was excellent again. His work rate and interceptions in winning the ball back are exceptional. However, I went for Fadinger. In Watts absence he has really stood up and took on the responsibility of senior man in the midfield. Capped a good performance with a cool finish.

Thought we struggled the first 20 minutes. Killie did well to disrupt our patterns of play and were very physical. However, we eventually figured them out and had wrestled back control by the time we scored the first goal. The boy Lowery is a little unlucky with the red card. Both are probably justifiable yellows on their own, but you expect the referee to give him the last chance waggy finger on the second. No sympathy for McCann though as he had clearly instructed hisnplayers to be leaving a little bit on tackles and several other Killie players got away with worse challenges than Lowery. After that it was one way traffic and 4-0 didnt flatter us at all. Some lovely football and interplay. Bjorgolfsonn looked good when he came on and it was interesting to see Jens go with 2 up top at the end. Could be a useful tactic in certain circumstances going forward. The young boy McColm didnt look out of place either in his short cameo. Overall, a decent performance and a great 3 points. 40 points in January isnt too shabby at all.

Really happy with that today, looked a bit ropy for the first 20 - 25 minutes and rode our luck with the offside goal and the one off the bar but afterwards there was only going to be one winner. Ward made a great save to keep the clean sheet at home record going.

Were they both Stuart McCall seasons? It is impressive when you see that. Even now this season we will be going somewhat to reach 70 points. Thought Slattery's pass for the first goal was sublime today. It really shows what he is capable of. If he is 3rd/4th choice midfielder at the moment it shows the strength of the squad.
