Drew Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Am I right in assuming , Dilo will play the last remaining games , if he stays fit. . Perhaps Kello has signalled his intent to leave (as I would expect), and Danny is wanting to show faith in Dilo, and to gauge whether he warrants a contract extension. I think Dilo is a great propsect. He needs to learn to command his area more effectively, and to bark instructions at the defence, but, for a lad his age, he is definitely not looking out of place, and is worthy of a two year deal, in my opinion.

I concur , I would view Kello as the better keeper but given your reasons it is right to play Dilo . . Did he clear his taxi bill. . Quote

Thorizaar Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Kello said last week that he still isn't in full training. Edited April 28, 2014 by Thorizaar Quote
Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Kello isnt fully fit. On the bench to use in emergencies. Quote
Sonny Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Kello isn't fully fit but if he was I personally would play him. I really like Dilo and would offer him a longish deal but with the Club's immediate future on the line we have to play our best 11 and Kello is more commanding than Dilo. Quote
Big Jake Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Kello isnt fully fit. . No wonder, after jumping about with the hearts fans in their end at the hibs game yesterday. Quote
fmckinn Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Noticed on Friday night that he was limping when walking to the dug out. Hopefully fit for Saturday's game Quote
Big Yards Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I'd rather play Dilo who has performed well during a good run of form for the team than bring in kello who hasn't played a match in weeks at such an important time Edited April 28, 2014 by Big Yards Quote

Julian Banjos Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Sitting with Skacel at Easter Rd yesterday. I reckon he'll be doing his best to engineer a move back to Tynecastle. Quote
islaysaint Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Hope we can hold on to him, our best keeper. Quote
Kemp Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Only a fool would play Dilo ahead of a fit Kello during a tight relegation battle like this. You need a commanding keeper who will fill his defence with confidence for games like this and Dilo is nowhere near ready. Hopefully Kello gets fit soon and comes back in to the team. Quote

You need a commanding keeper who will fill his defence with confidence for games like this and Dilo is nowhere near ready. Hopefully Kello gets fit soon and comes back in to the team. Agreed. Kello announced on his twitter before the Thistle game that's he was still injured therefore wouldn't be playing. Kello is a great keeper and if fit, he has to play him IMO. Surely it must make the defence a bit more confident knowing they have a keeper who will come out and win the ball and command his area. I do like Dilo and with the correct guidance could well be a top keeper in a few years time. He's still very young and has a lot to learn, I would definitely be renewing his contract next year regardless who we have at the club. Quote
Rabinho Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 I think it'd be pretty harsh to drop Dilo if Kello was fit. I thought Kello was a great signing at the time but a few mistakes later and I'm unconvinced, I'm happy to see Dilo retain the jersey till the end of the season and beyond. Quote

I thought Kello was a great signing at the time but a few mistakes later and I'm unconvinced, I'm happy to see Dilo retain the jersey till the end of the season and beyond. I agree. In the u20s semi final against The zombies he was magnifique! He needs to work on his kicking but he is vocal, not afraid to come out for a cross, and has made no more mistakes than Kello.has in his last couple of outings. I think Kello is one of the best keepers I've seen in years... but Dilo has been patient, has the jersey, and has done nothing to warrant losing it. Quote
stevo123 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 I think dilo is a great prospect and for a young lad has done really well and he can only get better , love to hold on to kello for another season as I think him and dilo would be great as dilo can learn a lot from kello which in turn will be good for the buddies .

bazil85 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Posted May 1, 2014 I only wish we had this level of competition in all areas of the park its great having this kind of headache for first choice keeper in the run in. I think I would go with a fit Kello especially for the game on Saturday, Dilo is one for the future and I would get him signed up 3 maybe even 4 year deal if he's willing but one mistake at this point of the season could be crucial for us and confidence shattering for him. Best to go with experience IMO. Quote

I find it hard to believe that Danny would do anything other than play the best side he thinks fit to stop us being relegated. If that meant playing Kello then he'd do that IMO even if Kello was leaving. Quote

Rabinho Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Really didn't see that coming, though he was a cert to be away. Quote
buddie Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Brilliant news! http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=33586 I'm guessing he must've had assurances he will be number one? Can't see him signing to sit on the bench! Great bit if business! Quote
div Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 Very surprised by this. Was told he had already agreed to go back to Hearts so this is a big bonus ! Kello was excellent when he first came in. His form dipped a bit towards the end of the season but perhaps down to the injury he was carrying. If we can get Dilo signed up for another year that will be one position where we are very strong for next season. Quote
