Kilmarnock v St Mirren 26/10

[munoz 6,495]

The Monday after a win and still no match thread ? 

I'll try my luck and see if its lucky. 

Another difficult game but not impossible to pick up something from. Hard to predict the team and formation for this one but I can't imagine it will be the same as the Fakes game. 

2-1 Saints.

[Doakes 2,492]

Killie went 4-3-3 against Livi and County, imagine they'll do the same against us

Think the most important thing will be to keep it tight at the back, left back is an issue since Waters can't play. Maybe Erahahon? Although he had a nightmare against them last time at Rugby Park so perhaps better with MacPherson RB and McGinn LB

Fancy the now confident Obika to cause them problems 

[Cornwall_Saint 3,318]

Have a feeling we will be back to normality with defeat. Killie aren’t what they were under Clarke but they are still decent and the lack of signing another left back to cover Waters may well bite us on the arse here.

2-0 in Killie’s favour. I’d prefer Saints to win 5-0 though.

Kilmarnock 1 St Mirren 2 We look not too bad when our tails are up. 

[TPAFKA Jersey 2 2,590]

Broadfoot to LB and draft McKenzie back in? Or would we be worried about KB being exposed for pace at LB?

Would expect Mcloughlin to be pushed out with Mac coming in. I think Killie have won three out of their last four now so it will be a tough game.

Similar form to us - 1 defeat in 4.

On paper, yes, but they have picked up 7 points and only lost to Celtic.

We have picked up 5.

Other than Waters not playing what other changes are you envisaging ?   (Perhaps Mullen injured OR what?)

We did not have any passengers in the last game, and our balance was much better than in many of our other games. We also scored TWO GOALS, so hard to see who would get dropped.

I would not hesitate to put MacPherson  in at RB with Paul going to LB (as Doakes suggests) , but suspect Goodwin will go with experience and re-draft MacKenzie back in at CB, possibly letting MacLoughlin cover RB or LB depending on where Paul plays. Kirk to stay Central rather than FB I'd expect.

Provided Mullen, and the rest are fit, I don't expect any other changes, other than possibly on the bench. (someone to replace Waters in the squad - Erhahon?)

Hard to call, was last week a wee blip against a poor Fakes team or can we play with the likes of Killie?  Killie 1 v 1 Saints    Obika to be our scorer !   

Would really loooovvvvveeee it if we could take all 3 points though . . .

Kinda if you ignore the points difference between draws and wins. Lol

Tough game on a shitty plastic pitch. Killie in a bit form now. Draw would be a decent result. But if we can keep it tight at the back we could sneak a goal and pick up 3pts. Coys

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.

We could maybe play 3 5 2..McKenzie mcloughlin,big kirky would be back 3,Danny and obika up front, then anyones guess for midfield

Has McKenzie played a game on artificial stuff yet, 

Sorry my memory is poor.

Interesting, and one of many possibilities. Nice to think that our manager has options, for a change.

Whatever personnel and formation JG chooses, I see no reason to think we have no chance in this match. We have every chance of taking something here.

Obika and Mullen will both be pumped up and I expect both to start and both to be a handful.
Broadfoot will relish playing against his former employers - the manager in particular - and McGinn will be better with 90mins under his belt.

Of course, could all go pear shaped if Killie get an early goal followed by a red card for an over enthusiastic Kirk, however, you never know.

Even thinking of travelling down on Saturday....

Aye come on down to Ayrshire... I am hopeful we will take something and even score again, now that we have learned how to!!!

Cash only.

[mattman 588]

my prediction
 

 

1-1 broadfoot first half for us from a set piece & Jackson for them, off the bench equaliser near the end.

Put a £10 on it. Go a world cruise

[munoz 6,495]

Just had a look at the weekend fixtures.  If we can somehow pick up the 3 pts against Killie,  it will more than likely put us just 5 pts off of 3rd place. Big incentive to get the win.

I would not hesitate to put MacPherson  in at RB . . .

Despite him being so bad at right back in the reserves this week he was hooked at half time ?
