Ya Bezzer!

Miserable performance. You could accept the Hibs defeat as they played well and have some special players but that Kilmarnock team tonight was work-a-day. Too many people at Fir Park have no stake in the future of the club. From the Manager right down through the playing staff there is an atmosphere of running down time until contracts run out. Take Hughes for example, he'd be more use dancing round at half time with the pom-pom girls than in our midfield this season. Jim O'Brien? Are we even sure this guy is a professional footballer? You couldn't even give a man of the match tonight because there wasn't a single player that went beyond mediocre. Jamie Murphy isn't ready for first team football and we have to be really careful we don't spoil the career of a player with a lot of potential. Saunders didn't look out of place and did relatively well but he doesn't look ready for 1st team football either. There is clearly no plans, no tactics, no confidence, no effort, no appetite in that team right now and at the end of the day the buck stops at the manager. The season is still salvageable and the doom mongers who love the bad times more than the good times are being a bit premature at this stage but we are entering the crucial period of the season and we need to improve dramatically over the Christmas period or it is going to be a grim looking 2009.

More likely who would want to buy him. He's not exactly set the heather on fire this season and anyone interested can pick him up for free in the summer. Can you honestly see English clubs, in the midst of a credit crunch throwing money at us for a guy sitting on 4 SPL goals this season? I can't see anyone paying us any significant amount of money for Porter. We got him for nothing and he'll most likely leave for nothing.

If you excuse the Hibs 'blip' our home record is pretty good this season. We've only lost twice at Fir Park since August and the other time was against league leaders Celtic. On the other hand Kilmarnock have a poor away record, losing 5 out of the last 6 trips away from Rugby Park. Hopefully there are no major changes in form then! I think Clarkson coming back will be a big benefit to the side.

Seriously, what is this based on? Craigan has 250 odd appearances for us, Klimpl has one which was defeat and apparently a poor performance. Just because something is new doesn't mean its better. Craigan hasn't even been one of poorer players this season. Quinn and Reynolds have gone backwards this term, not Craigan or that other frequent target Hammell. As for Klimpl he's done diddly squat to be hailed as some kind of 'Well hero.
