That long through ball from killie shows how slow this pitch is.  Was a quick ball and it died a death right in front of Wes.

Just once it would be nice to see a player break forward with the ball at his feet rather than this constant side to side predicable football.

[Vision 16,729]

I've not noticed much difference from last season still the side to side pass play it safe pish. 

[gogzy 31,195]

when did "low block" become something we said?

I can't remember ever hearing that being said before a couple of years ago.

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

People are critical of sideways passing but Killie are that negative there isn’t many forward passes available.

What they singing to Everton's Ross Barkley chant?

That pitch is playing a huge part in our performance so far imo.

It's making the balls movement unpredictable and some of the players look scared to run on it.

Funny that our first game scheduled in the new season is away on a plastic pitch.

[IpswichGer 3,773]

We are sitting back to try and draw them out. Good tactic as long as we don't concede 😂

[wearethepeople1 3,897]

You just know these pricks will get one chance and take it 

We need another goal

At a ground we haven't won at in an unnacceptable length of time.

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798]

We are definitely missing some decent Wide players.

If we want to win the league we need at least one more (Kent or someone of a similar ability)

[KingKirk 25,631]

Take ojo off gaffer please

[wearethepeople1 3,897]

The bounce on that park is ridiculous

Aribo is being used the same way Arfield was for the majority of last season, asking him to come back pick the ball and move it on is pointless, surely that's what Davis is for? 

Gerrard bigged up his ability to take the ball and dribble when we signed him and to be that was because he was the one who would drive at the heart of opposition defences but we don’t seem to be using him like that at all so far.

[gogzy 31,195]

another foul from power.

[Jb85 1,783]

Get Halliday on for Barisic. 

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

On the basis of the squad is full and no others coming in then I can’t wait for Murphy to return on the left side.

Gonna fall asleep here in a couple of minutes........ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I thought that exactly when it bounced behind Broadfoot and just conveniently popped up for him to nod it back to the keeper. WTF.

How does that solve any of the issues? 

[Jamie0202 12,261]

Jack's shooting is truly awful. You could say that wasn't too bad of an effort but that's probably him striking the ball as best he can. I genuinely play 5s with guys who can strike the ball better.
