    Need a CB n CF in ASAP for cover, maybe then Lenny’ll prefer the 352 again. We knew what to expect going to rugby park so not coming away with a result is a bit gutting tbh

    We looked like we had played a European game midweek, * and Lenny needs to go through them.

    That was * all to do with tactics or transfers, there was more than enough quality on that pitch to beat Killie yet they never looked up for it. * poor.

    Oh dear, we're going to have tough days on those pitches early on but it was stil a poor display against a predictable mob. It's just such a wind up when we get off to a great start and * it up out of character. I don't think there's any real optimism amongst the unbeaten teams qualifying for Europe next year.

    Early days but dropping points on the second game of the season is not the start you want.

    Changes should have been made sooner but even still I don’t think it made a huge difference and as some have said there could have been another 90 mins added on and we weren’t scoring today.

    That was excruciating. Hate games on plastic. It’s like we turn up and find out it’s a plastic. Definitely doesn’t look like we prepared all week for that. We have a * artificial pitch at Lennoxtown. No excuses ffs.

    I think the squads been crying out for a shake up since last season, especially down the spine of the team, looking Jaded 2 games into the season, hopefully just a blip but its concerning, leaves no doubts as to where we need strengthening...

    That pitch doesn't suit our style of play, but it's disappointing we didn't switch it up earlier. Lennon needs to make changes early when things aren't working, and when you're up against a wall of Killie players in the box like that we need to be more direct or try something different.

    Disappointing to lose points but ultimately Jullien making a stupid foul in the box has cost us as the game overall was poor to watch. Kabamba caused us problems all afternoon, but without making it an excuse - Killie being allowed that pitch in a premier division of football is an embarrassment...

    Every team will play us like that but the question is will they do the same with Sevco? Stop the 10 will be in full flow and we didn't need to shoot ourselves in the foot. I'm raging in one sense and in another I realise that Killie played out of their skin to defend and avoid defeat. They wouldn't have gotten anything at Celtic Park. Ah well we just have to hope that normal service resumes soon and we take our rightful place at the top of the table

    Killie away is one of the tougher games in the season and we so I wouldn't get too worked up. Performance was shocking though and we won't get away with too many of those.

    You can't blame the board ffs, we had more than enough on the pitch today and * blew it.. the goal we scored was horrific goalkeeping and I don't think we had a chance other than that ... Apparently West brom in talks with Duffy think we need to spend and bring him home.. all we have them * today was oxegen and prob have Gerrard another two months more in the job.

    hes got no competition, but hes regularly pish at this ground, its obvious the players hate playing on it

    we need to not be afraid of it and playing them there and have some kind of tactic to win on it

    the way they play and that surface just nullifys football, i dont watch the other teams but i bet they all hate playing on it to and i bet youd find out kilmarnocks up turn in fortune came about after that plastic pitch was put down

    I can accept points being dropped but that performance was disgraceful. No creativity and a lot of players hiding. Never close to winning. Need a left back and another centre back.
