    Would definitely help. We had very little width of Saturday with the majority of our half chances coming from long balls up the middle. We need Durmas or McAllister fit and playing well or we'll continue to have no threat on the wings.

    Obika and Morais just don't look like good signings at all so far. Surprising given they have played at a decent level in England. There is nothing about them that suggests to me its going to change. I reckon JG and GP are searching for a striker in Jan big time

    You haven't touched any nerve, for all the time I have been watching football this has been said.
    I remember Jack Mowat standing at a referee's conference in the late 80s showing his press cutting from the 50s, 60s and 70s all saying the same thing about how the standard of refereeing had slipped etc etc
    It will never change, especially when the vast majority of football fans haven't a clue about refereeing football, never mind the laws of the game.

    It's a low bar but Collum didn't do anything that changed the course of the game yesterday.

    JG has yet to get the balance right, there was an article in The Scotsman last week which suggested it was down to us doing our summer business too late (but that can't be right ) - we're about where I expected us to be and I'd always settle for 10th place in the current set-up.

    Other than the goal, the defence was solid and reassuring despite getting little relief from the forwards who were unable to subject Killie to any periods of sustained pressure.
    Mullen was the only forward who troubled the Killie defence,  Obika had poor ball control and no physical presence.
    Morias should just have stayed on the sidelines doing his stretchy exercises for all the impact he made when brought on - he was hugely disappointing.
    Kyle Magennis was uncharacteristically, frustratingly feckless.
    biggest disappointment, apart from the result, was they had no Killie (or any other) pies for sale at HT.
    a bleak, dreich, cold day oot.

    I won’t disagree with the first comment there. I was a season ticket holder before I moved down south and travelled home and away to watch Saints (excluding the two bigotdomes) and yes, you do see more. You can still see plenty on the tv too though, perhaps not as much, but certainly more often than not, enough to make a decision.
    In full agreement on your second comment.
    The fee paid is still a massive pay check for a small amount of work.

    I do have that thing called television which allows me to watch games live when I choose to.
    I have no problem with mistakes being made here and there. As you say, they, like us are only human. I advocate the use of both goal line technology and VAR to help these guys out and make their job easier. But for the very nice pay check they receive (as I’ve said above some struggle to make that in a month) I don’t think it’s wrong to demand a better standard.

    You simply had to have a go at him. Any excuse.

    Your response to him was well out of order.

    You didn't simply answer the question.

    If you spoke to someone on the street like that, you would be punched in the face!

    It’s like saying both teams have been solid at the back conceding just 8 each, while ignoring the fact Killie have scored more goals than us.

    In all seriousness, I’d have been dead against signing Shankland purely based on his Ayr form from last season. However, it does look like the boy has screwed the nut and looks a decent player. Thought he was a stand out for Scotland the other night albeit against the might of San Marino. That said, some other would be superstars were playing against the same San Marino side and Shankland was still a stand out. Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing. 
    Having said that, we probably still couldn’t have afforded him based on his Ayr form never mind now.

    This is true. There is no clear team destined for 3rd right now, in truth the Top 6 and even Europe is a major possibility for all sides presuming they can get their form in gear. Hibs and Hearts being shite, Dons and Killie being weaker has really opened the door in a similar fashion to our relegation season when there was no Edinburgh side or Sevco in the league - of course we did the opposite and got relegated in a season where there was no better chance to go high and make it into Europe.

    Badly wrong about Hearts and Hibs though.
