7 goal swing with hibs great,  don't quite understand mccann,  yup killie started well but I thought from my seat a defo red card. I just love watching us and the atmosphere is great.   I didn't rate but not sure why Thompson got boos,  certainly not a player we miss, looks like yer mate that turns up for 7 a side when a player short

McCann not quite accurate with his comments 

Another great game today , an absolutely brilliant team we have at the minute 👏

I’m not sure what everyone else thinks but I think Sam Nicholson will be like a brand new player when he gets back fit.

There’s been real positive comments from Jens about what he’s seen so far from him in the training and what he’s doing. 
I always thought he looked a talented player but didn’t suit the Kettlewell approach but I think he’ll slide in to our style of football really well. 
with him coming back, Watt getting back I just think we need a defender in the January window to make this special season even more special.

2012/13

Finished 2nd on GD of +16 with 63 point 

2013/14

2nd on GD of +4 with 70 points 

Were they both Stuart McCall seasons? It is impressive when you see that. Even now this season we will be going somewhat to reach 70 points.

Thought Slattery's pass for the first goal was sublime today. It really shows what he is capable of. If he is 3rd/4th choice midfielder at the moment it shows the strength of the squad.

Really happy with that today, looked a bit ropy for the first 20 - 25 minutes and rode our luck with the offside goal and the one off the bar but afterwards there was only going to be one winner. Ward made a great save to keep the clean sheet at home record going.

Thought we struggled the first 20 minutes. Killie did well to disrupt our patterns of play and were very physical. However, we eventually figured them out and had wrestled back control by the time we scored the first goal.

The boy Lowery is a little unlucky with the red card. Both are probably justifiable yellows on their own, but you expect the referee to give him the last chance waggy finger on the second.

No sympathy for McCann though as he had clearly instructed hisnplayers to be leaving a little bit on tackles and several other Killie players got away with worse challenges than Lowery.

After that it was one way traffic and 4-0 didnt flatter us at all. Some lovely football and interplay.

Bjorgolfsonn looked good when he came on and it was interesting to see Jens go with 2 up top at the end. Could be a useful tactic in certain circumstances going forward.

The young boy McColm didnt look out of place either in his short cameo.

Overall, a decent performance and a great 3 points.

40 points in January isnt too shabby at all.

and it has to be said, Polworth is still one of the biggest bellends in Scottish football. An absolute con of a player. Every new manager sticks him directly into the team (cos he can actually play)and then after a month drop him when they realise what he’s about.

From purely a footballing perspective Polworth could probably fit into our team (took his “goal” well today) but agree his personality/hangups would absolutely not - classic case of self-sabotaging a career.

And surprise surprise he never did, he hardly touched the ball when he came on, big Thor showed more desire to get on the ball in 20 mins than Stamatelopoulos has done all season.

To be fair he looked a bit more lively than last week and played a nice lay off which started the build up for fourth goal. 
 

dont see us playing with the two of them up front unless its a last throw of dice chasing a game.

I agree about about Bjorgolfsonn. He'll be  a handful for defences with his height and physicality and offers us something different. I read somewhere that he's not a 30 yard screamer type of striker but rather one who can make space and lay the ball off for others but is also dangerous in and about the goal area and knows where the net is. I suspect his assist yesterday for Fadinger will be typical of his style.  

Agree too about young McColm. Great to see another youngster get his chance and he was very lively and comfortable when he came on.

Does anyone know the correct match attendance today? Announcer at game said 7,200 but BBC says 6,243. A bit of a difference. 

Keep up, the beeb never get their facts right, sport or news. It's written on yer tv licence for all to see, if anyone actually has one now adays.

It was announced as 7,200 odd at the game 500 killie fans.
