No one has said anything of the sort. They are though saying that Ward has been culpable for conceding goals two weeks in a row now which have cost us points.

Yeah I got that thanks.. Im at the game 

[Orinoco]

only 4 mins

[El Grew]

Right up their with John Gardner!!

[Orinoco]

WTF is gordon ruby tackle there, stupid.

[Yoshi-1991]

Another game where we have dominated the game with no win at the end of it.

"But we played good fitbaw".

Same every week, we need to be converting these chances and dropping Ward, that's 3 Goals in 2 games he has cost us

[MJC]

Just Blew(it) Again

[Orinoco]

another of what could have been. All players make mistakes, but the goalies has probably cost us again today.

The style of play has nowt to do with the stupid goals we have lost. Disappointing, but still undefeated, so there is that. 

Some of our players today did not reach the heights of previous games. Probably due to Killie camping practically in their own box.

Well it is an improvement. Before we were never in the games, were pish to watch never had the ball and getting beat. Compare where we were to where we are and it’s better than I thought it would be. Goalie has cost us 4 points the last two games. So I get your point that we are still not winning games and we do need to start doing that. Is it as easy as putting Ox back in goals? Maybe.

That is harsh to be fair.

The game was effectively won and we utterly dominated them In the 2nd half.

Keeper just needs to literally catch the cross, or take the hit and the foul and we see it out.

[Orinoco]

suppose we need to be patient. We know the system works. Just need to cut out the stupid mistakes which we seem to have been making since the year dot. 

We have come on a fair bit, and perhaps its no bad thing to bring us down a peg or two. 

[MJC]

So again some encouraging play but we don’t get the result to show for it. 
 

We don’t carry enough threat up front and when we do manage to score goals we duly chuck them in for the opponents to cancel it out.

It’s not been a bad start to the season but already there are concerns because we’ve played well enough so far but haven’t been able to convert that into wins. We could very will live to regret that.

And finally, the jury is very much out on JBA and his game management in particular. Harsh, perhaps, but until we manage to make that ‘quantum leap’ and actually win a football match under him then conerns will persist.

[El Grew]

It’s a great watch when we go forward and we boss the opposition around but our inability to defend is killing all the good play.

The goalkeeping position is a problem - both first team candidates are unreliable.

Central defence is also a serious issue. None of the players we have for these positions are any good.

Having attacking fullbacks is all very well but when we lose possession we are wide open on both flanks.

We need a holding player in the midfield to give the central defence protection if and when the opposition counters.

These aren’t insurmountable problems but they do need to be addressed quickly.

[mfc]

We have been in a winning position the last two games scoring 5 goals in the process and we don't win either,that's hugely frustrating.were still a work in progress so the last thing we need is the individual mistakes that are costing us.

The jury is out on JBA in your opinion. Certainly not mine

That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it.

Mine is that I am unconvinced so far.

What a truly sad, sad individual you really are. Someone who gets more pleasure from results not going our way and your typically miserable, doom laden predictions being correct/ partly right. Oh - and spare me the ‘it’s a forum for all views’. Yes it is ……… but proper fans would never get off on things not going to plan. This is the last time I’ll ever pay attention to your nonsense as I think you’re probably not even a Well fan, or if you are- not one worthy of the title. Bye!

Why? You're right I'm entitled to my opinion. Same as you are 

[Orinoco]

Their second is a hopeful punt and run of the mill for a goalkeeper to deal with. Our goalies never seem to improve, especially with cross balls. Should we not be looking at the coaching side of things??

The ignore function is a wonderful thing. 

[wellfan]

Great game again, but Ward chucking it again and our number 9 not scoring goals again is killing us. 

[couttsy]

My god last week was disappointing but today really does feel like a defeat  

As most have said, we were completely dominant today and should have had the game out of sight before Ward’s absolute calamity.

Was Watt injured? If not why the hell was he taken off! How did Stama play the whole game?

A lot to like about us but we have to put games to bed when we’re so far on top.

Suppose the positive is that we completely outplayed a team with a similar budget. Much much better than Killie.

[Orinoco]

Killies 27% possession wont end well eventually.

Because we have failed to register a win yet.

Despite dominating a second half against Rangers, showing some nice play at St.Mirren and then being 3-0 up with 20 minutes to go at Tynecastle and failing to win and today against a Killie side we had on the ropes after turning around a deficit we contrive to gift them a goal to sneak away with a point.

Even the game we did win against Championship St.Johnstone we needed extra time to do it.

I’m not saying we have had a bad start to the season, the opposite if anything, but we have missed some big opportunities so far and they could well come back to hurt us.
