Totally agree,that much improved second half performance more than deserved the result,it does feel like killie have done us at the end of a few games over the years,it's always nice for a bit of payback,you really can't beat a last minute winner.

It's great to know that dick turpin does actually own a claret and amber mask 😀

That's souare going to be missing for the next few games and obika is expected to be out until december.

Obikas problems with injury are there for all to see,between that and his performances last season,for me there was no reason to keep him on.we now find ourselves in the situation where he's here this season but hardly plays which will surely mean that the option of another year next season is off the table or if he is here next season were still in the same boat where he's a year older and hoping he doesn't break down at any second.ive no idea what will happen with biereth,he might be an option in january but right now we need a couple of decent signings up front.

Your right he did,I'm sure it was in the press conference leading up to the hibs game,it sounded like his days were numbered going by kettlewells comments.im not a big fan of efford but think we might need something different in this game that he might provide,the thought of wilkinson and bair as our only options is pretty scary.

Cowardly tackle by dunne that came as no surprise as having seen him enough for us,the guy couldn't tackle a fish supper.he took a leaf out the richard tate handbook of trying to do a motherwell player every time he played against us,I hope any good will towards dunne is gone and he gets it tight anytime he plays against us the cunt that he is.

Fletcher is a player we should have been looking at before bringing back obika and signing bair,he would have been a better option that either of those,we have wilkinson as the target man so adding fletcher now would just give us another big guy up front with not a lot of movement,we need the opposite,were crying out for pace and movement up front.

Aye it'll be best all round if mcginley moved on,what's the deal with soaure,he's injured now as well.ideally we get wilson out on loan and sign another left wing back that will actually come in and start,this shuffling mcginn to the left like we did on saturday isn't the answer either.

Its not ideal but I would start with efford in this game,were definitely going to need a bit of pace and movement up front if we're to get anything from this game,if we fall into the trap of hoofing the ball up to wilkinson and bair then we can forget it,that will suit that kilmarnock defence down to the ground.

I wonder if things will change with efford now we have these injuries and he will get more game time,hopefully we can move lamie on,I know mcginley has had his problems but surely he's another were looking to move on which would suit both parties,the fact we changed things about to put mcginn on the left on saturday more than suggests he isn't in the managers plans.

It doesn't sound good with regard to biereth and now we're left with two fit strikers,we need to be signing two but the way the budget is that might be beyond us,it' not panic stations but definitely concerning.

Kilmarnock look like they might be a hard team to break down this season,they've made a couple of decent signings in defence,that and the fact we have problems up front,the first goal in this game will be vital,we need to be getting it.

Totally agree about the full back positions,that was actually my biggest fear coming into the new season,we have gone from two young players that were fresh with a bit of pace and were a genuine threat going forward to two in there 30s that didn't play much football last season,odonnell and souare should have been the back ups this season.hopefully were still looking at strengthening in that area but I'm sure it will rest on getting the likes of lamie and mcginley out first,as much as we have all seen games like today many times before,going out the cup as softly as that will always be frustrating.

It's always gutting to go out the cup with barely a whimper,we were woeful today.

Its looking like obika will be out long term according to kettlewell,i wonder if we will look to bring in a replacement or go with what we have.

I think miller has had opportunities to leave before but felt he was at the best place to develop and play a number of games before he eventually does leave.hopefully being in the first team and a sizeable jump in wages would be enough to get him signed to a longer contract,the boy is quality so we could be in for a big windfall in the not to distant future.

He made similar comments about danzaki and the next thing he was gone so you would have to think that efford is one of the guys were hoping to move on with maguire and possibly mcginley the others.

You never know quite what to expect from the opening day so to get a point away from home in poor conditions is a good result for us.

Atleast we have a valid reason to hate him before he's kicked a ball for us 😆

Wilkinson and bair are a fair size,I hope plan a isn't hoof it forward at every chance.slattery is looking lean and played well so far,miller is quality on the ball and spittal can play a pass as well,we have midfielders that are good on the ball,our next forward signing has to have a bit of pace and movement about them and give our midfield the option of a through ball.

I hope we can get something out of bair but his time at st Johnstone and there fans opinion of him doesn't sound great,our forward options really are concerning.

I agree,we definitely need a bit of pace and movement up front,it's early days but Wilkinson and obika don't look like they will be a good foil for each other.

Like the previous games,a wins a win and it's minutes under the belt,we definitely need a couple of different options up front though but kettlewell has said as much so hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.

I was thinking the same thing,slattery looks a lot leaner as well,making that run forward for his goal last night,we wouldn't have seen him doing that last season,it actually looks like the players have been put through there paces unlike last summer under alexander.

I didn't want him when he signed but he's won me over,he's definitely one of our most important players.
