What Do We Do Differently Against Kilmarnock?

[sandyinroyalblue 16,478]

Play with the same intensity and tempo that we played against the Hivs and we'll be okay.

[foghorn leghorn 608]

Ffs, it's only the tattie howking jaikie dicks who didn't want their pissy club to make money by selling us excess tickets back in May 2011.

[STEPPS BOY 73,916]

They were absolutely woeful last year when we played them..

[theclothmonster 1,707]

The main worry for me would be not taking chances and then losing a goal through sloppiness or our inabilty to defend corners and crosses.

[allgers 735]

Play our game and score more than them, simple.

[LeeWallaceRFC 3,920]

Play our game and we'll win 5-0. I don't think people quite understand how good we can be/how many goals we could actually score if we took our chances. We had 30 shots against Cowdenbeath, only 14 on target and 5 converted. That is incredibly poor.

I'm 100% confident that we can beat any team in the country, if we play to our capability. We didn't do that against St Johnstone. Wilson, Zelalem and Oduwa should not be starting.

Foderingham, Tavernier, Kiernan, Ball, Wallace, Law, Halliday, Holt, McKay, Waghorn, Miller (assuming we don't sign anybody) should be the team.

[bluenose48 951]

We need a strong DM before then. Being more aware of player movement when defending corners or free kicks.

Apart from that hope they play lard arse KB up front.

If we play our style of football we will run them ragged. 3 - 1.

[Bobby Hume 13,068]

Be more convincing and clinical with the abundance of goal chances we have failed to convert, in most, if not all but a few of the games we have played this season ...... and that includes all of our defeats as well, even St. Johnstone.

We still need to bring in a proven striker, along with a seasoned holding/defensive midfielder this window, hopefully both bedded in before the Kilmarnock game, but not essentially, as I think we have enough power at the moment to beat them comfortably.

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,723]

Genuinely think they will be more worried about dealing with us than we will be with them.

We just need to do what we do but do it well. The fact they're a top league team should put an extra spring in our step.

Looking forward to it, it's a good draw for us.

[Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686]

Play our game and take them on Killie are pish.

Oh and take young Kiltie from them first before the end of the window.

[bears fan 259]

No need to change our style of play or formation, just take the bloody chances when we get them. Imagine what our goal tally would be if more chances were put away.

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Nothing.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Play the way we did against hibs and we will be fine , when tav and Wallace choose their runs better and don't get caught in front of the ball we look much better

Spot on.

[cp9 753]

Pass the ball to Waghorn

[GOAT 30,449]

Take our chances.

[RFCRobertson 11,778]

Nothing really.

Go out on all cylinders lay on the pressure thick and heavy and it'll be an easy win.

We've got good options for goals, the only players that don't make a threat on goals is our defenders. All other players make a decent threat on the opposition goals, even Gedion had two really good chances at the weekend.

Defending is the only place we need fixin, but Tav and Wallace appear to be doing defensive roles a bit better. We lost a goal at the weekend due to a blunder by Ball, but other than that they never threatened us at all.

[Gary Wilmot's Wedding Brek 299]

We'd need to not be an absolute horror show at the back. Be a little less gung ho and a bit more savvy. I am happy that Warburton is willing to try to change things around as shown earlier in the season against Hibs (even though it didn't work out). My biggest worry was his no plan B, but he showed in that match he was willing to make concessions. I think we'll be a bit cuter in our match against Kilmarnock so I'm confident we'll go through. Got a bet on us to win the cup so we better go through!

[simon 1,743]

We need the same level of performance as we had against Hibs. We will destroy them if we have that.

[Shuggy 1,308]

St Johnstone took the lead and then just sat back hitting us on the break. Scoring first would be a good idea to force Killie out of their shell.

[IanFerguson2013 396]

They are not exactly playing well at the moment. They are likely to end up in the playoffs with Falkirk or hibs.

If we play our best game we will win.

I wonder when Boyd last played against Rangers for Killie? Quite a few years

[Bears 792]

Get Kiernan and Wilson to practise running slower so they don't run past Boyd and off the pitch Fyvie-style.

[Prso's headband 35,451]

I think a lot of people are underestimating how much the team has learned from the St Johnstone and Hibs defeats. Wallace and Tav both don't go at the same time anymore, I think that came into practice against Hibs a couple of weeks ago and it has worked ever since. At Dumbarton Tav bombed constantly got himself 3 assists and a goal. In the first half it was Wallace who bombed up and down. The same against Cowdenbeath. Wallace done it all first half, got a goal and was more reserved in the 2nd when Tav went forward and won a couple of penalties. I think that has shored us up at the back, not perfectly but if we get a CDM we will turn over a lot of teams we come across in the cup. We leave the two centre backs and a wingback with protection from a CDM which essentially leaves 4 protecting the keeper whilst the other 5 run riot.

MW has evolved his own style of play ever so slightly and its starting to pay off.

[WCPRANGERS1 2,997]

I still think too much is bein made of the St.Johnstone result, they did play us well and we were easily opened up.

However the very next night Hibs beat Aberdeen in the same cup competition showing that in one off matches anything can happen and we are certainly better than Hibs.

I think one thing we need (ongoing not just v Killie) is better on field intelligence that when we go forward we do not leave ourselves over exposed for counters. A strong CDM would also help.

[TonyRice1872 105]

Shiels said earlier in season we will always play attacking no matter who we play

This is just another game for us

[Creampuff 22,628]

Pray for Jig to start.

That'll make it a sure win.
