Just in from the game and I can’t quite believe Killies equaliser. I was right on line with the cross and ward was never getting it, when it was clear he wasn’t getting it, why the hell not punch it or palm it over the bar. So annoying in particular as I think Ward had done absolutely fine up to that point. 
I felt we looked really comfortable at 2-1 as well, so frustrating and I don’t think the subs helped at all. I Still see nothing in Hendry, hopefully he’ll turn good but im just not impressed. Charles-Cook looks handy right enough but I thought the 3 subs at the same time didn’t work.

overall I was still impressed how we played and a win is sure to come soon.

also nearly 7000 there today, long may that continue 

7000!! Wow

We need to improve up top (seems strange after scoring 5 goals in two games but I think it’s a fair comment) and in defence. Having said that, when you consider that we have dropped 4 points due to glaring errors, you have to say that our style of play is working. As mentioned in another post it’s the glaring errors that need to be fixed, not our style/tactics.

Shocking goal keeping cost us 2 points last week, and the same again today, all our great play counts for nothing if we cant rely on a keeper to catch a feckin Ball under no pressure at all.

Once we went 2-1 Killie never looked like scoring until Motherwells version of Andre Onana played his part, he needs dropped ASAP.

We played some great stuff today, especially Longelo and just and never got the reward it deserved, 4 points behind where we should be after 4 games, sort the keeper and defence out and hopefully we can start winning.

You are right. As poor as the defence is at points it's the being poor up top thats costing us more in my view 

We've scored 5 goals in the last 2 games and failed to win any,the problem is definitely at the back.

I've heard of keepers that can play with their hands and not their feet but never a keeper that can play with his feet and not his hands. 4 points in a week he's cost us. Ox at Dundee please. Completely dominant again but you can't account for your keeper selling the jerseys like that.

10 games unbeaten. However we need a winning streak! Hopefully JBA can get us there. 

Aye step one get rid of a poor goalkeeper making schoolboy errors , not unlucky,not deflections mistakes and costing us draws instead of wins that's 4 points lost in two games ,Ox time now.

That second goal we conceded started from us having a goal kick. Lost possession in final 3rd as keeper panicked about playing it out from back and subsequently  flapped and missed the cross. Was similar goal conceded in schools football every week. 

Badly need to address goalkeeper issue. That's 4 points cost now. Also O'Donnell looked uncomfortable at times having to pass instead of launching balls.

there was as much contact on Ward as there was when Cook was penalised for an apparent foul on the killie player just prior to conceeding the 2nd. usually goalies are protected, but not this time. Tho, Ward needs to be much stronger.

Honestly. I don't know. Keepers don't tend to be dropped even when they are struggling. There were calls to drop Kelly at one point - but I'm sure if JBA thinks a change is needed then he will change things up. I don't think Ward is a bad keeper and I don't think Ox is either 

Ward human like all of us so he will know himself about the mistakes and I don't want him getting slated but best Ox gets a chance.

Also on another note that's 2 weeks in a row JBA has made subs that swung the momentum of the game.

For me subs should of been Johnny K for SOD, Said for Cook and Stam for Hendry why he took Watt and Maswanhise off is an absolute mystery.
