Some teams use the "earn the right to play football" mantra. From what I've seen from Killie so far this season they have adopted the "earn the right to stop football" mantra.
The best way to counter that is with an early goal - easier said than done, but we need to be on the front foot right from kickoff.
Must be watching a different Killie side from me.
Against Celtic, Hearts and Rangers we've created more chances than any of them.

We will win on Saturday as I expect a good reaction to the shit fest the team served up yesterday. Kilmarnock are brutal away from home the vast majority of their points are gained on that shitey plastic pitch of theirs so I can see a home win.
We were by far the better side at Tynecastle last week and should have won.

4800.
If you fill the bottom tier thats still a fair effort.
Should be a good atmoshpere!
I'd say it looks like 1000 or so shifted just now but as i said, no real rush to buy
We sold out 1600 at Paisley in our last game despite not having an away win all season, i'd expect at least that there on Saturday,

That plastic must cost a lot to maintain.
it's the training centre they are building to allow us to go back to grass that'll be costing us.

Looking forward to this one. Been a few weeks since Ive been at a game and Killie will probably bring a decent support up for this
I'd expect us to pretty much fill the bottom tier.
Sales looks decent enough so far but like most my mates, i'm not in any rush to buy mine. Big enough stand!

Mine is £395 early bird or £420 thereafter - yours seems a bargain!
Especially as you know you'll be in the top flight!

Find some of the comments on this thread laughable.
We were told by NHS Ayrshire and Arran that our full squad had to isolate, we had no choice whether to play the game or not. We literally had no players.
The decision to make the full squad isolate was a health board decision, and we've seen this vary across the country.
The decision was always going to be overturned as it was a laughable decision in the first place.
How many 3-0 defeats have been handed out in England for same reason this season? None.
I understand why you would be annoyed at losing out on an easy 6 pts but fuck me, the original penalty was farcical.
Every club will have had minor covid breaches. Was only a few months ago Motherwell directors weren't paying any attention whatsoever to COVID rules in Coleraine.
If anyone thinks Motherwell should be awarded 6 pts and 6 goals for this then they need to have a word with themselves.

Best to totally ignore this story and assume Killie will be at full strength. We don’t know how many of the 3 individuals are players and even then they may not be first team players.
First team, rest of squad waiting on results from today's tests.
Squad not trained since Tuesday.

Spot on - meant to be 2x60 mins with 2nd side being pretty inexperienced back line of Cornelius, Hussain & Max Johnstone and then 30 mins of Bevis.
Aye, likes of Power, Dicker, McKenzie, El Makrini, Kabamba, Burke, Broadfoot all sat out the 2nd half for us as far as I'm aware.

Heard it was Watt and O'Hara for you but not 100%.

Killie forum reporting that we lost 1-2 today in game played at FP.
Score was 3-2 Killie.
Not sure who scored for you but it was Kabamba, JJ Hooper (Trialist) and Kiltie for us.

St Mirren's accounts show total wages of 3 million.
Our last set of accounts had a total wage bill of £3.15m, that was for our AGM in January 2019
Accounts due out shortly for this year.
Out that £3.15m, it was made up of the following. 74 football related staff and 20 admin.
Turnover was £5.06m but I expect both our staff costs and turnover to be up a fair bit in the next set of accounts.

When we played St Mirren at home, we had 19 shots.
Killie had 5 shots.
Maybe start working on your accuracy then!
You had 12 shots against Aberdeen and still got scudded 3-0. . We had 17 shots against Accies and still lost 2-0!
My point is we don't park the bus, we're incredibly hard to play against but most of that is with us in possession.

I hear Parks of Hamilton have already delivered Kilmarnock's luxury coach, ready for parking.
We don't really park the bus, we do however play a lot of possession football.
We were something like 65% possession on Saturday against St Mirren, think against Livi was 60% which is pretty much how we play.
Same away from home, we had 48% possession at Tynecastle, whilst free flowing Motherwell had 41% at the same venue. We had 51% possession at Perth and you guys had 46% (both winning 1-0)
I think the press overplay how we defend, it's certainly not 10 men behind the ball that's for sure but we give very little away (8 clean sheets in past 10 games)
Will be an interesting game.

First home game against Celtic we put their fans in the newly renamed David Turnbull South Stand.
Please do this.

There was something a bit off about Burrows' Twitter announcement.
It was almost as if he was trying to force through the move to Celtic.
Strange.

The record books will always show we finished 2nd mate
I know mate, I'm not disputing that!
Will also show that we got more points this season and only finished 3rd!

I've not got a real problem with the Killie guys being in the squad, Killie have had a good season, (though not quite as good as when we finished 2nd, and I don't remember the clamour for Motherwell players in the squad, or indeed our manager to be given the managers job at the SFA)...
...Taylor is a player I admire, and at the end of the day is only back-up for Robertson, O'Donnell isn't a player I admire but I understand that choices are limited in his position, Brophy is a bit of a curveball but I'm happy enough to see if he can step up, and the same can be said for Findlay....but on an individual basis none of them have performed to the standards that Turnbull has...it just seems really weird to leave the guy out when his own individual form is so good.
Stronger league now than it was when you finished 2nd IMO but was some achievement.
SOD and Findlay were in last squad, Taylor should have been in last squad given he was U21 left back, played over 120 games at left back for us at 21 and we had fucking Shinnie at left back! He's an obvious choice.
Brophy is due to lack of options and I'm a bit surprised as he's missed a lot of the season injured but he's no worse an option than McNulty.
Turnbull should 100% be in the squad, especially ahead of shite like Burke.

Whilst I think it should be free for anyone who went last night, I can see why the club are trying to minimise losses. Stewards, police, staff etc don't get paid for half a shift last night and need paid again on Saturday. Killie will still lose a fortune.

Burrow is saying it's Killie's decision.
Let's see if the fan owned club can stick up for the fans for once....
Aye, ask him why it's £24 for us to get into your place whilst home fans can get in a hell of a lot cheaper whilst you're at it.
Cheers

Looks like it's Saturday.
Farcical

Latest I've heard is SPFL are pushing fit Saturday even though we are booked to go away. Couldn't make it up.

Killie wanted the game moved to the Saturday originally from last night. Motherwell refused which is fair enough. Killie then booked warm weather training camp in Tenerife for 5 days and fly out Saturday.
