All the hallmarks of a 1 1 draw

[eejay the dj 31,964]

We well close this out today 

However we are miles short of what's required 

[BlueMe 25,327]

Collum making the game about himself as usual 

[KingKirk 25,631]

The pitch is nothing to do with Tav being shite today. He hasn't started the season well at all.

He is missing the protection he had last year with the wingers...same with left back

[Paulbrian11 432]

If we win without playing well then it’s an improvement from last season already.  Gonna be a long last 15 but.

Solid in possession, the odd wayward pass but we haven’t really troubled their keeper. Plenty hopeless crosses into the box which he has collected with ease, Aribo came close not long ago but since that nothing.

Doesn’t look like anything has changed since last year in terms of breaking down defences. Aribo looks capable when he gets up and around the box but hasn’t had much to sniff at today.

Ojo done absolutely nothing, someone in the thread described him as an empty jersey which is hard to argue with atm. Tavernier been below par going forward. Davis just strolling through the game keeping the ball moving. 

Thanks. So frustrating to read this and seems we haven’t improved on last seasons weaknesses.

The 10mins or so I have watched seems we’re still aimlessly passing until it gets to a wide position and then it’s either a poor cross or backwards. We desperately needed someone this summer who can make something. happen through the middle, was hoping it would be Aribo and it might add something extra to our game but it seems so far that’s not happening.

Barisic has been better than Tav. And no worse than almost anyone else on the pitch.

Both a 5 or maybe a 6 for me but that's being generous. Neither has done much in an attacking sense.

Wow. Didnt realise he was still on 😂

[gogzy 31,195]

collum is terrible.

[16BlueSherbert90 19,223]

About time. Fresh legs might make a difference. 

[jjbscotty12 3,560]

Barisic is a dud and Goldsons days are numbered in the starting 11.

I actually don't understand out formation today. As you say Arfield is playing central so who was on the left in the first half when Ojo was on the right and who is on the right in this half when Ojo is on the left? We seem lop-sided with no complimentary player on the opposite side of which ever one Ojo finds himself on.

Its the formation we finished the season pretty well with last season. 4-4-2 Diamond But instead of 2 strikers we play 1 striker and 1 free winger whos job it is to move from flank to flank and make our chances. 
Last season that was kent who was all over the place on both wings taking men on driving with the ball. This season its Ojo who doesnt seem to know what hes doing and has about half the ability of kent

Why the fuck has it taken till the 77th minute to make a sub ffs.

It is. There is a severe lack of space which impacts on creativity. 

It's not. He's been in plenty of space several times in this match and either dribbled into a Kilmarnock player or his touch has been horrendous.

[tayside 295]

We must buy a new left back BB is a accident waiting to happen every game , ojo the invisible man

At least Tav has looked for the ball ..Ojo has shown nothing 

No way should he start next game after today .Jusr looking at him makes me wonder what the hypes about 

[HG5 11,112]

Season is going to be a slog on this evidence.

No flow, no pace, nobody getting past a man.

[IpswichGer 3,773]

If we don't win this I will be fuming.

If we do win it, despite struggling, I will be pleased. Bit of a hoodoo broken and a positive to take moving forward that we have come to Rugby park and won.

[Drumloyal 14,966]

Jones on for Ojo

[Swagger 7,919]

Not this shit again, our performance today isn’t shite because our Captain is Tav ffs.

There is no leadership on that pitch which is not helping the performance. We need a captain that’ll kick some arse. 

[gogzy 31,195]

haha jones getting the boos.

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Sub should’ve been made 20 mins ago

More hope than design I think since having Arfield close to the centre forward for those last games of last season. It's not pretty...
