Reflecting on who I'd start for the game and there I've found a huge issue. There are so many gaps, this may be due to how we're set up From who's currently available I thing I'd only have 4 players who are automatically given a game. For Saturday Id be making us a lot more robust. For me I don't think Connelly is a better keeper but I do think he can distribute better. Mcghee to give the defence more protection. I'd wouldn't play with an out an out striker as I don't see Seb offering much In general play. I know the following isn't perfect but I'd go with Connelly JK JKL Moorman Longelo . McGhee Sparrow Fadinger JT Lowry , Said Hopefully Oscar would get some game time.

I think you’re spot on . Within the next 5-7 games Alfred will have reached a similar amount of games time where the tenure ended for Steve Hammel Jim Gannon Hari Kampman id love to be wrong but there’s a lot of similarities to their tenure

Just had a look at how have we performance since July - to try and get a view of bigger picture. Played 18 games Won 5. Last win was Utd in September. Lost 10 drawn 3 Conceded 33 Scored 24 (15 of them were in July/Aug) The goals conceded are such a clear and obvious issue that really hasn't been addressed . It's not just the defence, it's how we do (or don't) defend as a team. So perhaps worth parking it's just the last 5 games - it's a poor report card by any previous managers standard.

yes - im pretty furious right now - like us all - we're desperate to see improvement. I honestly can't fathom what we do in training, nor can I fathom for the lift of me the sub choices. Nor can I see the approach we're trying to play - if it was 3-2 and we were simply out scored but had watched a game of free flowing football I think I could swallow that for now. echo your point 'We're in a world of trouble'

He's watched us getting roasted up the right for weeks. He watched the mess that was Moorman and SOD until 60 mins and 2 goals gone. I agree players need to stand up and be counted - equally when we the fans can spot the obiovus that needs to change and the manager can't it's concerning Grizzly. For the record I wholeheartedly agree about not firing managers after a few short months - but it is getting worse but the week - that's not a transition period Im afraid .

We don't pass - we were out passed by Kilmarnock. We don't defend - and I mean as a team. We had no shape in the 2nd half. We didn't win any 2nd balls. In last 5 games We've conceded 14 , scored 3. I don't remember us shipping goals like this since possibly McGhee v 2 era

O’Donnell has been awful - how he hasn’t been hooked off I’ll never know just keep him as stand in for right back - no more no less

Manager not helping himself here at all - the basics are not there .

Start of season we were solid enough with knight lebel but since 3-0 at rules he hasn’t played

Forgot he was an option- it so obviously needs changing

Come on Alfred - the whole game you’re watching the mess at the centre of defence JLK should be on JK should be on sort it out

We played some decent stuff - we just look powerpuff on defence . some of the challenges are down to individuals . Keeper doesn’t instill confidence Sparrow not the man for right back defensive partnerhup isn’t great centre forward - don’t see much from Seb there’s a few obvious tweaks to the starting 11 that would make a huge difference In January we need to find a better keeper and centre forward

Defensively we’re weak - why we stopped playing JKL I don’t understand .

My mind may be playing tricks on me but Pulson has cost a few goals - he clearly has decent reflexes but overall can’t pass, poor at crosses - pretty much Liam Kelly standard

Paulsons awful passing - he put Moorman in trouble there as well . a poor replacement for Ward

Very happy to see Koutroumbis on the bench - wonder if he’ll be on for last 20 mins . i wouldn’t be against putting McGhee into midfield to add some strength fingers crossed for something better today

I was just about to ask how are people feeling about today - you often have a good sense about match day @mio. my sense is today is a must perform and must take something from the game - but no clue if we will see a reaction

yes - one of the fans - known as the 'comedien gris '

wonder what SOD would have thought about McLean back in the day. JBA did have that side of 'don't pi%% me about'.

Last weeks pre match I really struggled to get through it - but I thought there was fire in his belly and he handled that well this week . I hope to see similar fire and energy from our team on Saturday

Really enjoyed listening to SOD - thought he handled the interview brilliantly and fairly outlined where we’re at - wonder if he’ll be joining the coachkng staff in the not too distant future

Yes I do think it’s been a bit one dimensional in that respect at one stage I wondered if we had another Gannon who only signed youngsters

Yes please - think we’d all be happy with any level of progress tbh

Irrespective of starting 11 - which may depend on people coming back we need to play as a team . not expecting Barca levels . If we’re going to find form it needs we need to get back to being a cohesive unit . Start the way we did against Utd - that’s got the be the blue print. mission critical that we don’t regress any further .

If there was ever a game we need to score first it’s this one . Im confident that killie will score - we need to find our way as a team and do what we’ve not done since the Utd game and find at least 2 goals
