    We've played alright so far.

    Something I find a bit worrying is the only goals we've scored in past few games have come from deflections. Griffiths' came from a Thistle CB squaring it for him, Calmac's dodgy shot was deflected and Frimpong's cross deflected into Eddy's path.

    A goal's a goal n all that, but hopefully we're able to create/bury some more clear-cut chances without the rub of the green.

    Too much passing sideways.

    Brown and Mcgregor are too far back parked too near CBs.

    Wee JF has done decent going forward, think 3 cbs doing well.

    Griff has been a passenger.

    Ajer has so right-footed but plays on the left, never understood that one.

    Played well going forward and dictated a lot of the game..

    Still look really ropey on the counter but. Defensively still dodgy..

    Should be 2 or 3 up. Hope we kill it early second half. If we get the next then this game is over..

    Playing *. Ntcham can't even string a 6 yard pass. They're pressing us high and 1v1 our defenders are panicking and not happy with the channels being restricted. Nightmare situation. Our shape is all wrong.

    Mad how positive some people can be, despite the fact we're lucky to still be ahead.

    I thought we went to Dubai and worked on pressing teams, we need to chase them down in packs and play with more urgency. They're there for the taking if we lift the tempo.

    Definitely more goals in us.

    I get the whole shape thing but sometimes it's a waste having Broony sitting back making a back 4 when we need bodies into channels/spaces between them. I know its not that simple though

    Keep it tight at the back please. Let's get them done!

    Meh. Least we're winning, he's probably not the only one, but Griffiths has been noticably poor for me.

    Some incredibly annoying things I’m subjected to watching in this game that really doesn’t bode well for any future games.

    1. Kilmarnocks pitch is still a * embarrassment.

    2. Kris Boyd is dense. Full on Sky moving forward, I really struggle to tolerate the sight and sound of that fat goon.

    3. Andy Walker, sometimes when I hear him drone on, I drift away imagining stabbing my eardrums with knitting needles - it’d be a much happier place for sure.

    Brown has been the worst player on the pitch tonight. Seems above criticism but he's been am absolute passenger here.

    It's not been spectacular, but we've been alright. Agree that there isn't much dynamism in the middle with this shape though. Think the main problem is lack of creativity, Brown, Ntcham and Mcgregor are all decent midfielders, but none of them really playmakers.

    Doing okay so far. Sloppy in midfield and defence at times.

    * surface, narrow pitch. Anyone expecting slick football and a rout tonight is blocking out the memory of all of our games at Rugby Park since they put the pitch in.

    There will be more goals in this game.
