Folk are talking like Ox never made a mistake in goals 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
