theclothmonster 1,707 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 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 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 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 13,092 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 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 53,728 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bears fan 259 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 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 betterSpot on.

RFCRobertson 11,778 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Wilmot's Wedding Brek 299 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon 1,743 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We need the same level of performance as we had against Hibs. We will destroy them if we have that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanFerguson2013 396 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 792 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Get Kiernan and Wilson to practise running slower so they don't run past Boyd and off the pitch Fyvie-style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,459 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 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 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
