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.

Some of our previous keepers used to just go get it themselves ! 😂

Quite cold today. Someone should have nipped and got him a bovril in the second half...

I’m not sure what everyone else thinks but I think Sam Nicholson will be like a brand new player when he gets back fit. There’s been real positive comments from Jens about what he’s seen so far from him in the training and what he’s doing. I always thought he looked a talented player but didn’t suit the Kettlewell approach but I think he’ll slide in to our style of football really well. with him coming back, Watt getting back I just think we need a defender in the January window to make this special season even more special.

Does that include Calum Ward as a spectator? 😂

2012/13 Finished 2nd on GD of +16 with 63 point 2013/14 2nd on GD of +4 with 70 points

Probably some point during 2012/13. If Maswanhise stays the whole season he could end up at Higdon numbers for goals scored.

A few contenders but Oscar Priestman for me.

When was the last time, in the top division, we had a goal difference of +18
