I'm pessimistic at the best of times. I always envisage us dropping points away from home.
But to lose - not even draw, but lose - against Motherwell, at home, is gutting.
It would seem logical regarding losing points on the road but while not being spectacular, we've been better on the road this season. ie. Have dropped less points and conceded less goals.

It all comes down to the 7th of April at Ibrox imo who ever wins that will kill the other fan base optimism and turn the fans on the players right near the end of the season there will be no recovery
I genuinely think if we had got to that game unbeaten and then beat them we would be Champions.

Another thing about Goldson, why does he bother going up for corners? He is clearly incapable of heading the ball in the direction he wants it to go.
We could've had 1,000,000 crosses today and still not scored. We should take different kinds of corners and wide players should aim for the byline and cut the ball back because crosses against that kind of defence are a total waste of time.
I'm somewhat confused as to why we've reverted back to out swinging corners. They are pointless IMO. I thought our in swinging corners were starting to cause problems.

We were poor all over today. We just looked off the pace. As we did on Wednesday to be honest.

I'm not sure Lawrence play twice a week?
He came on as a sub so he obviously can. Two games in a row where we've not started with our strongest team. Surely better to start Lawrence and manage his minutes from a winning position rather than when we are chasing the game.
Don't want sound defeatist but maybe the injuries are just catching up with us now?

When does rotation become tinkering? Get Diamonde in the middle for Raskin and Lawrence in the 10 position. Lawrence will be on cloud 9 after Wednesday. With all due respect to Raskin, the title run in isn't the place to players up to speed. Just play your strongest XI at the start of every game please.

Just a wee observation from last night. Killie are a very organised team that thrive off the reset after breaks in play IMO. If you cast your mind back to the 1st game of the season, Tav jogged about 50 yards to take a throw in, much to the ire of every fan watching. It played perfectly into Kilmarnocks hands. Game gets slowed down, they get to reset. Fast forward to last night. Dessers takes a quick throw immediately and Killie are on the back foot resulting in Lawrence getting fouled. Once again we get ball active right away and bish bosh, we get our 2nd goal. How times have changed...

Said it last night but what's the bets we end up at Rugby Park again after the split? It's also pleasing to see Aberdeen stumble again which hopefully wwill put another dent in their top 6 chances.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I was quiet impressed with Kilmarnock last night. I get the pitch being a leveller but they go about their business in a direct, aggressive and organised manner. They clearly have a good level of belief when facing the OF teams and their results back that up. Some other teams in Scotland should take note.

You aren't, but there are others, who like me, think he (and Borna) are not good enough.
He may have brought "dynamism" to out LHS, but what are his goals / assists? I'm no stat man, but I'd say he hasn't brought any more goals or assists to the team than Borna Barasic has.
When he has played well, I've acknowledged it, he played well on Saturday but was, IMO no where near MOTM. Lundstum, Dessers and Dio were all ahead of him.
Some think that because I don't rate Yilmaz, it means im a Borna Barisic fan. Far from it. Barasic has been a great servant, but his time has come and gone.
It's no coincidence that we attempted to sign a left back in January and IMO it'll be the 1st position we strengthen in the summer.
If Ridvan starts / continues to improve, starts to add goals and assists then I'll happily "eat my hat", until then, I'll refrain from the Ridvan is on fire narrative.
I'm not too fussed about his stats tbh. I'll go with the eye test and I can see a player that definitely suits this team better than BB. Let's not forget, BBs stats for assists where only half decent due to law of averages as something positive was bound to happen from the 394 crosses per game we were witnessing under Beale Ball. 🤣🤣

Yip because we were far better once Dessers Sterling and Yilmaz were on. BB just doesnt cut it now
Those 3 going on meant that it has the same starting XI that skelped Hearts. That's what we should have started with tonight.

Hopefully the manager has learned tonight that rotation may work in small doses but maybe Rugby Park is not the place to do it. Definitely got his starting XI wrong.

"Potential".
He was miles behind Lundstram, slightly behind 2 goal Dessers, and Dio.
But I'll give you that, he was potentially MOTM on Saturday = He's on fire......
He's been good for a while Cammy and has brought dynamism to our left side IMO. I'm not alone in that opinion.

Two good goals to be fair.
Watching football played on that pitch should be used as a torture device. Knowing our luck we'll get Killie away in the post split fixtures despite playing there twice already. Its happened before with Pittodrie.

Haha- what Borna blinkers? I've said neither are good enough.
Notice you've not manged to show how Ridvan is on fire.....
He was a potential MOTM on Saturday

I don't want to see this game again. I don't want to even hear anyone discuss any aspect of this game. It was horrible on all levels and that pitch should get banned immediately. 3prs are all that matters. Next!

On fire? Whats his goals and assists over the last few weeks? On fire hahaha
Give it up FFS. He was fantastic on Saturday. Take your Borna blinkers off.

Manager was worried about the surface causing a reoccurrence of injuries for him and Sterling.
Fair play.

Barisic is finished. If we need cover for Yilmaz, use Sterling .... or any warm body for that matter.
Tav and Goldson don't get rotated. Why Yilmaz? He's on fire at the moment.

I genuinely hope we don't regret rotating tonight. Why drop Yilmaz?

Awful. Not sure what we are trying to do here but it's definitely not working. Dessers on, Silva as a 10, Ridvan on for Borna. Wide players doing nothing as they are playing on the half way line.

3-3 away and 2-2 at home in the 20/21 season, and I think that's it.
And we should gave won both games. 2 goals up in both games I recall...

Let's be fair, the signs were there on Wednesday as we got bullied for most of that game to. Out with a flurry in the 2nd half we were very poor interms of our application and grit.
